especially after it was revealed that Braiin's OS is just a white label of Luxor Pool's firmware.

really? I thought this was just a spoof story from https://www.thebitcoinbugle.com/braiins-revealed-to-be-a-white-label/

You're right. I believed this based on a conversation with someone recently. Don't trust, verify. I just deleted the entire post. Thanks for catching that. Embarrassing folly on my part, can't happen again.

It doesn't remove the fact that your post's take was very interesting! Are you going to republish an updated version?

Yes. Realized I wrote it in the window and didn't save it anywhere. 🤣

Agree with the fixed liberty sentiment, decentralisation being the most embattled one of them. At some stage, it may even be considered not only a citizen's right but even duty to run a validating node, just like voting at an election.

Anyone remember back in the day when there were only 7 mining pools and GHash.io had 48% of hashpower? Mining is slowly leaving the pleb world behind and industrializing

I do remember GHash turmoil... :) Observing early monkey ASIC business those days - the ASIC Resistance idea was quite appealing then. Btw, Litecoin was in the top of the marketcap list only due to (betrayed) promise of ASIC Resistance...

Yeah, Bitcoin mining would be more decentralized (not leaving the pleb world behind) if staying somehow only GPU mineable: https://cointelegraph.com/news/satoshi-invented-gpu-mining-to-defend-the-network-says-early-dev
