205 sats \ 2 replies \ @luciusmagn 14 Oct freebie \ on: Is Braains Pool Independent? bitcoin_Mining

Hello, I'm Lukáš from Braiins!

Braiins Pool does not direct its hashrate to AntPool. While we provide an FPPS model, we do it on our own end, and are not a proxy. We have full control over block templates, and soon, miners using Stratum V2 JD will be able to make their own block templates (like OCEAN), which would not be possible for a proxy pool.

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to respond.

I think this is based on this research

On December 6th, 2024, AntPool, Braiins, Poolin, Binance Pool, and Ultimus published invalid jobs building block 873559 on the previous block hash ..2ba3bd04af2. This previous block mined by AntPool ended up losing in a block-race against a ViaBTC block. While a coinbase output value of 3.125 BTC would have been allowed, Braiins and Ultimus set a coinbase output value of 3.28466550 BTC (0.1596655 BTC more than allowed) while AntPool, Binance Pool, and Poolin had a 5606 sat higher coinbase output value of 3.28460944 BTC (+0.1596094 BTC) in their mining jobs.

Thanks very much for responding, and sorry I mangled the spelling of the pool! I'll get it eventually. Can you give me your take on that recent article I linked to in the post?
