Improved pathfinding should mean a better user experience for Bitcoin payments.
It also means better usage of scarce liquidity, resulting in higher yields and more routing activity in further reaches of the network.
@christophquill@mononautical Do you have the same perspective to the Genesis block including the "chancellor on the brink of second bailout" Times headline?
@BTCNottingham@mononautical By creating a template that censors/filters out anything other than specific op_return commands. This is just a guess but every txn has "op_return : )" the smiley face emoticon could be the filter they inserted in the block template.
@Raverrevolution @tommy50107317 @mempool Miners can point their hash power wherever they like, so if the miners in the pool dislike that their proof of work was directed to a Mara ad, they can move. If so, Mara loses hash power; they become less impactful.
@MatticusBTC @mempool Yes, but they mined the block they paid into, they received those txn fees right back. If anything it proves pools can manipulate a lot of things behind the scenes the miners pointing their hash power to have little control over so choose your pools carefully.
