I think Ark is still a long ways away also but it seems like it could be a possible avenue to scale self-custody if the bitcoin community were to come to consensus to soft fork in what it needs.

I don't have any experience with mining, though I would like to learn more about it. I just read through the [fedipool discussion](https://github.com/fedimint/fedimint/discussions/1504) and it seems like there are quite a few considerations in making the module.

Wrapping a Service for StartOS - fedimintd

fedipool is what drew me to fedimint in the first place. Don't understand Ark in the slightest so no opinion there but needing a soft fork makes me hesitant that we'll see anything come of it soon.

Do you have mining experience? I only just starting digging into mining and learning a bit on Stratum v2, but my focus has been primarily fedimint stuffs.
