Honest question: Can someone explain to me the bitcoin core perspective on fractured mempools?
I keep hearing that this is the most dire threat to bitcoin because it will drive mining pool centralization. This doesn't make any god damn sense. Mining pools are already centralized.
The house is on fire. The doors are locked from the outside. We're all gonna die. Y'all are fighting about about the batteries in the smoke detector. Please can someone make it make sense?
