What is a block's "Health" score calculated from?
Every time a block is mined, mempool.space takes a snapshot of the most profitable block template that could have been constructed by the miner. Whenever a pool excludes a high fee paying transaction, their "health" metric is damaged. A pool with a low health score means they are either censoring, or their node is not well connected to the rest of the network.
Note that SBI Crypto is no longer creating blocks. RIP Bozo, you won't be missed: #1518598

I see Ocean blocks don't include transactions with fees below 1.
Yeah. This policy doesn't even match their "anti spam" narrative, it's just pure spite.
I don't think this is the case. Individual miners in Ocean using DATUM can construct blocks with lower transaction fees if they want.
So why don't those individual miners construct blocks with lower fees?

Braiins censoring...?
Surprised me too, I wonder why they are on the low health list.
One has already left, now we need OCEAN, although I don't see it happening anytime soon!
