@PatrickvdMeijde@NicolasDorier@mempool You mean that as a miner, your pool is not paying you a share of the collected out-of-band fees? Agreed that that is a more direct loss. I just meant to add to that that even if your FPPS pool takes no out-of-band payments, you might still be affected.

Check for yourself to see how good mining pools are at building the most profitable block.
Obviously this does not take into account potential out-of-band payments.
@NicolasDorier@mempool Note that when one pool adopts out-of-band payments, it may decrease payouts for other pools if they utilize FPPS. This method calculates rewards based on collective miner fees over a set time period.
The taproot annex uniquely enables the on-chain storage of signatures from child transactions without being hindered by circular references. This enhances the safety of implementing covenants through pre-signed transactions. Sample use case: time-locked vaults.
Bitcoin Optech newsletter #255 is here:
- summarizes discussion about allowing relay of txs containing taproot annex data
- links to a silent payments draft BIP

Taproot annexes, though non-standard, may appear on-chain anytime. Hence, it's wise to test taproot apps accordingly. @mempool recently fixed a related issue (https://t.co/5z7zogEqYd), which only impacted visuals. However, other apps may face harsher outcomes.
@0xB10C Oh wow, that is awesome! Didn't know about your project. Are you considering the addition of pool-level comparisons such as a ranking based on block fee maximization?
PR #7139, by @joostjgr, adds the ability for nodes to generate and relay attributable errors, which are important to properly penalize nodes after a payment failure occurs.

@RaymondDurk@BKronyte@StratumV2 Agreed, twitter is far from ideal to reach miners. Yet, in a scenario where let's say 144 miners produce one block daily according to their own templates, the odds of one picking up a high-reward tx are probably higher than with 5 pools controlling 80% of block production.
While I understand the technical challenges in mining this non-standard yet harmless and consensus-valid Bitcoin transaction, I can't help but wonder: if Bitcoin were truly decentralized, wouldn't someone have stepped up for the 50x premium that it offers?
@sr_gi Indeed. I could have done a zero fee parent with fee paying child instead of a non-std tx, but that would present different technical hurdles given that submitpackage isn't available yet in core.
@BKronyte Absolutely! I think @StratumV2 with Job Negotiation would be immensely helpful here. Can't let only a handful of people in the world determine which txes are allowed to enter the chain.

"Hence, instead of forcing clients to go below a static target like in Bitcoin to be successful, we ask clients to "bid" using their PoW effort. Effectively, a client gets higher priority the higher effort they put into their proof-of-work."
@Tsartoshi@MonadicHodl@jamesob Maybe this is just a fraction of the bots and spam that would be present if they didn't make an attempt at all to combat it?
Testing twitter-based bitcoin tx relay. The following unconfirmed tx pays 100 sat/b. Are miners pulling from twitter yet?
