I didn't mean to imply you were paid. Sorry about that. It was just decisively arguing for DATUM which is only available through Ocean because the pool code isn't open source yet (and I'd guess won't be for awhile because the "spot checks" are likely not perfect and are better off being obscured).

> I believe mining pool centralization is the prerequisite for transaction accelerators, not the consequence. Hence why I think it's important to promote the emergence of more real mining nodes in an incentive-compatible way like they do.

Great point. I agree. Transaction accelerators exist though so we have to deal with the incentives they create regardless. A bunch of us running knots and making our own blocks don't fix that afaict.
