True, and I think that that's a generic issue across nearly every facet of society that I am aware of.

However: one would think that someone running an actual pool using that software would understand the benefits of not having to mine empty block templates for a minute. The impact - no matter how small - is in the block template inclusion policy. If one were to claim that the greatest good is financial transactions even at a loss of income, then mining an empty block isn't cool.

edit re: the emotional appeal. That's where we're at as humanity... I have a little experimental locally running AI that I can ask to rewrite an email without emotional pitfalls. It actually makes sense to simply feed every bitcoindev list mail to it.

Project for the coming weekend lol.

Yeah, one would think that people running a mining pool would understand the bigger picture and be able to argue with more nuance about this issue. At times it feels like a marketing campaign for Knots.

For some I'm sure it is. It's mostly emotional though - to the extreme.

Do you know of any sites that measure subversion prominence over time rather than just snapshots? I don't want to unleash yet another spider onto the network.
