I didn’t get the question. What’s the connection with Rootstock?

Maybe I should have elaborated. Rootstock (and merged mining generally) can tend toward further centralization, as smaller miners find it even harder to compete with miners earning rBTC. There is of course the additional "shitcoin" stigma too.

all pools provide merge-mining. miners are used to it and expect it.

Check out one of my projects, the Merge Mining Monitor, where I reveal the merge mining attribution of each Bitcoin block (and also track other data of interest, most importantly, stale blocks "embedded" in the history of merge-mined chains).

P.S. the data seems to indicate that Foundry are no longer merge-mining: https://mmm.deadmanoz.xyz/?view=findings&finding=foundry-exits-rsk-fractal-2026-06

All the big players, anyway, right? I don't think Braiins, Ocean, or P2Pool do, but maybe I'm wrong. Your focus is industrial, so I see your point.

almost certain that Braiins does merge-mining. p2pool... no one uses. If ocean doesn't, then their miners are earning less for their hashrate. shrug
