    Bitcoin Miners Don’t Care About The Filter Debate

    We're reporting live from the North American Blockchain Summit in Dallas, Texas, where roughly 30% of the world's Bitcoin hashrate is decided. The shocking reality? Bitcoin miners don't care about Core v30 or technical debates. They care about electrons, steel, aluminum, and profit. We break down how Foundry became the largest pool with 0% fees, why miners prefer FPPS revenue certainty over block variance, and the massive disconnect between Bitcoin's technical community and the mining industry. Subscribe to the newsletter! https://newsletter.blockspacemedia.com Notes: • Foundry controls ~30% of Bitcoin's hashrate • Mining pools dropped fees from 2% to near 0% • FPPS model is “addicting” for miners • Texas becoming finance capital with new exchange • Most miners don't know their pool's Core version • Future fee markets could disrupt pool dominance Timestamps: 00:00 Start 00:28 NABS vibes 01:41 Miners don't care about Core V30 03:48 Miners care about profitability 04:44 Pools 08:59 Predictable revenue 13:10 Miner incentives - 👋Bitcoin Season 2 is produced Blockspace Media, Bitcoin’s first B2B publication in Bitcoin.

    Why Filters Are Playing Into The Fed's Hands w/ Fluffypony

    Riccardo Spagni (Fluffypony), former Monero lead maintainer, joins the Bitcoin filter debate and explains why it's following the same playbook as the blocksize wars. Riccardo explains his early studies on Sybil attacking Bitcoin nodes, why filtering is fundamentally broken censorship, the thankless job of being a protocol maintainer. We also discuss his WorldCoin criticism, AI agent commerce, and why stablecoins will likely dominate machine-to-machine payments.
