What is the point? They will just declare an emergency by executive order and do whatever they want. confiscate BTC, shut down banks and exchanges, force people to use dollars only. They can do it
All my BTC on LN is now non-custodial on my own node. My Lightning address points to my node. All my zaps are from my node. This is done through Tor and the address is using a limited macroon that only has permissions to create and view invoices. Feeling OpSexy and it feels good to contribute to the network!
(Minus ~2000 sats on LN Tip Bot to zap to friends on Telegram and the other few thousand here on SN.)
I don't think it is a "problem" that few pools make up a lot of hashing power since they consist of many smaller independent miners ... but it would still be nice if people switched to smaller pools or make p2p pools a reality instead of Foundry USA & AntPool making up more than half and 5 pools making up almost all of it
We don't know the breakdown of how many of those physical miners does Foundry and antpool actually own on their own (or have decision power over). That's the risk there.
