Luke is a real one. I'm glad to see he is doing well after his tragic boating accident.

This honestly sounds like an amazing project. I feel that decentralized mining has always been a critical missing piece for reaching a hyper-bitcoin world.

Decentralized mining pools should make up 95% of the network hashrate. Proof of work doesn't require the next block template to become a matter of debate.

I consider any bias in block creation to be a consensus failure in the protocol. I hope stratum v2 banishes this problem for good.
