Thank you @sipa for your feedback.
It seems though that miners are currently censoring me using OP_SUCCESSx as defined by consensus, even though I didn’t notice any ecosystem agreement. I admit I might be ignorant, but from my point of view, I see much more explicit support for almost every soft-fork proposal, including BIP-110, than censoring OP_SUCCESS… the only privilege OP_SUCCESS censoring has, is being the standard behavior of Bitcoin Core.
The purpose of this exercise, is just verifying:
- If miners are indeed motivated with extracting as much value as possible, or are they too scared to anger the “ecosystem”.
- Are miners actively censoring valid, and well-paying transactions.
- What happens when we “have a real case of censorship”, will anyone care? or is censorship (and the centralization necessary for it) is actually built-in in people’s assumptions, for things like “alignment” and filtering “bad content” out of the blockchain.
If we are taking that censorship for granted, but refuse to acknowledge it, I would like to know that.
