You're right, but I am reasonably able to build and maintain a miner which could find a block without having to travel to another planet if my transactions were not getting mined.
My point is miners don't know they are Martian txs, and there would be relay services that accept encrypted Martian txs in order to rebroadcast them on Earth.
Even today mining your own txs is unrealistic. To get into a block in the next week you would need ~1/1000th of total network hash rate, i.e. ~600 PH/s - that's equivalent to about 2000 Bitmain s21 miners and the power to run them.

It could be censorship for any reason, it doesn't require some war between Mars and Earth to have your own personal txs censored. Regarding the unreasonable burden to run your own mining pool on Earth vs the mathematically improbable case that those same miners on Mars would be able to mine 4+ txs to reorg the chain and get your tx mined I think is I large and reasonable distinction to make.
reply
You're not addressing my point though -> miners have no way of knowing which txs are Martian txs.

They likely would be able to tell if any timestamps were ~16min outdated
reply
Bitcoin transactions don't have timestamps. The whole point of a blockchain is to order transactions in "time". Before they are in a block, transactions are timeless.

But you can know when your miner receives a tx, if I had 2 validating nodes, one on Mars and one on earth I could easily track where the tx originated.
reply
I already gave you a simple way to get around that. Transmit encrypted txs to earth, decrypt and broadcast them on Earth.
I can't continue this. I am clearly not getting through to you, or maybe you're just trolling. Either way I'm out.
reply
I think you've lost my point, they do have a way of know MY transactions though. And if I happen to live on Mars, I'm fucked
reply
They don't.

Anyone who's touched a blacklisted TX on an exchange would disagree, any miner could choose to follow those same rules
reply
You're talking about custodial exchanges here, not Bitcoin.
Any miner could chose to blacklist, yes. All miners, no. That's Bitcoin's entire security model. If you can't get a tx mined because governments say so, then bitcoin has already failed.
