Centralized pools that mislead people into believing they are decentralized only take focus away from real solutions.

Without a decentralized mining pool, Bitcoin is highly susceptible to attack.



A miner choosing the block template on behalf of the pool of miners does not help decentralization because the regulator will still shut down the operator if they don't like the blocks being built.



Call me crazy but insert a Bitcoin miner who includes (or builds on a block containing) an OFAC tx and I don't see how the DOJ draws a different conclusion using their current logic.

What am I missing?

Core actively denies miners control of their block creation, and tries to impose a centrally dictated policy. So Knots is de facto required for decentralized mining.
