That&#39;s just being unable to mine competitively&#xA;because your operation is too small.&#xA;&#xA;Anyway, I think all this is a good example of how mining being dependent on&#xA;fee-income makes mining much more complex, and harder to do as a small player.&#xA;Not good.&#xA;&#xA;&gt; Also your point about centralization pressure is well taken.&#xA;&#xA;Thanks&#xA;&#xA;-- &#xA;https://petertodd.org &#39;peter&#39;[:-1]@petertodd.org&#xA;-------------- next part --------------&#xA;A non-text attachment was scrubbed...&#xA;Name: signature.asc&#xA;Type: application/pgp-signature&#xA;Size: 833 bytes&#xA;Desc: not available&#xA;URL: &lt;http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20220711/bde354fc/attachment.sig&gt;</html></oembed>
