It stands for Full Pay Pay Share which -in theory - means that miners get paid on a share to share basis (something they're submitting multiple times a minute) a highly predictable amount.\n\nThis means you not only have you abandoned dealing with lotto-variance (waiting until you find a block) or even standard pool variance (waiting until someone on the pool finds a block) but instead you're mining with a pool that grants you earnings multiple times per minute regardless of if the pool is finding any blocks or not.\n\nThis is variance reduction to such an extreme that the product becomes unbelievably expensive because pools have now put themselves in a position where they must pay miners for blocks that might - and very often don't - happen.\n\nThis was demonstrated beyond doubt when OCEAN (non-FPPS) released its numbers and they outperformed FPPS by over 30% in some cases during its first year of operation.\n\n*Note: This is NOT a \"You should mine on OCEAN\" post. I am simply trying to explain why miners are making the decisions they are because it seems to be eluding almost everyone.\n\nSo miners are apparently opting for variance reduction to the point where they want to get paid no matter what for blocks that may or may not even exist with resolution all the way down to the share level.\n\nBut here's the part where the disconnect between theory and reality comes in.\n\nNearly all the miners on Foundry have absolutely zero need for this kind of variance reduction - or indeed any at all.\n\nThe publicly traded miners that make use of Foundry all have the ability to find multiple blocks a day without any third party whatsoever which is way more than enough.\n\nAs mentioned already, FPPS is an extremely expensive product that logically would only be required by a miner faced with 24 hourly energy bills who only has 100 Petahash or so. Again, the typical Foundry miner is 100 times the size of this coming in at almost 10 Exahash at the smaller end.\n\nSo if Foundry solves a particular issue - variance - and charges a fortune to do it, and its main customer is miners that could lotto-mine and find multiple blocks a day without incurring the costs of FPPS then what on Earth are they doing?\n\nThe naive answer is that they haven't done the maths. In some cases I actually know this to be true. You're an enormous miner and you do a deal with Foundry - they charge you 0.1% fee and you think that's equivalent to if you cut out the middle man entirely pretty much so it becomes worth it.\n\nBut with FPPS the fee is never the fee. That is the airport currency exchange sign that says \"0% COMMISSION\" and gives you something about 14% worse than market rate. Where is the money going?\n\nI don't think most miners are actually making that mistake, at least not all of them.\n\nIt's time to explain the real reason here.\n\nCompliance by proxy.\n\nAnd this is what's key to understand.\n\nHistory: Once upon a time a pool called GHash(.)io got above 40% of the hashrate (which Foundry is doing repeatedly at this point) and the miners all fled out of instinct to protect the network. You simply cannot have any single entity making 50% of the blocks that get added to the chain or anything approaching that.\n\nSo why aren't miners doing it today? Are they that addicted to variance reduction when the calibre of miner that uses Foundry is perfectly capable of reducing their own variance anyway even though it's costing them a fortune?\n\nAgain the entire space needs to understand why history will not be repeating itself here and this where I find the greatest amount of self-delusion and dishonesty in this space.\n\nCompliance by proxy was not a thing in 2016. At least not for miners.\n\nSince then, someone has come along and turned what is completely unacceptable to the powers that be - Bitcoin mining - and turned it into a completely sanitized, censorship prone shell of its former self - and *that* is the true motivation for \"miners\" paying these exorbitant fees.\n\nCompliance is new. And it isn't a factor people are taking into consideration.\n\nWhenever we point out how precarious the situation has become, there is the typical response - \"If Foundry ever do <bad thing> then their miners will just leave\".\n\nIt's time to put this cope-strategy to bed.\n\nIf a miner is perfectly capable of reducing their own variance to the tune of reliably finding multiple blocks per day themselves - why are they using a pool at all? Especially if that pool costs a fortune?\n\nOr more crudely - If losing a tonne of money for no apparent reason isn't compelling enough to leave Foundry, then jeopardizing Bitcoin isn't going to be either.\n\nThe true motivation is all that matters, and its overwhelmingly just compliance. \"Miners\" of substantial size increasingly do not want anything to do with Bitcoin and want all their hashrate transformed from raw Bitcoins coming fresh out of the blockchain into a nice clean product that their accountants and lawyers can tolerate regardless of the cost.\n\nTo take the counter position to my argument here, there are of course costs to rough-housing it and grappling with Bitcoin directly as MARA does and I don't want to pretend otherwise but I don't think they come anything like close to justifying the enormity of the revenue lost due to the extreme over-kill that is FPPS.\n\nThis is the only area in which I will take pushback from someone in one of the relevant companies as it's possible I am just wrong.\n\nThe following companies - BitFarms, Hut8, RIOT, WULF, HIVE, Cleanspark and a couple of handfuls of others are all - to the best of my knowledge - paying a fortune for the combined benefit of variance reduction (which they absolutely have no need of) and compliance by proxy.\n\nIf anyone from any of those companies can explain to me why I am wrong and that if\/when Foundry's size results in them engaging in censorship or any other abuse of the network (heck, already requiring KYC and regular inspections of mining facilities is unacceptable and that's already been the case for Foundry miners for years) then why should anyone believe you would move to another pool or go the Mara route?\n\nAt present I believe that Foundry could continue its inexorable ascent to the 51% magic number we're all afraid of and the new cope will be \"Well they haven't done <bad thing> yet\" and we'll just keep moving the goal posts about what constitutes a bad thing.\n\nAt the moment \"It's just KYC\", \"It's just mandatory inspections\" and \"It's just lost revenue.\"\n\nAll of that is unacceptable. \"It's just transactions associated with Russia\/Iran\" comes next and the shareholders of publicly traded Bitcoin miners are unlikely to view censorship based on that criteria as being anything to worry about. \"Why do you hate America??\"\n\nThe old cope of \"another miner will just include them and their business will survive while the censoring miners die\" is complete and utter delusion.\n\nAlmost 100% of revenue from the chain is subsidy. Transaction fees are neither here nor there. And if we think the US Pubcos are all going to voluntarily go admit bankruptcy because they lost a few hundred bucks a week from mining blocks that censored blacklisted UTXOs then we are deluding ourselves.\n\nI reiterate - miners are with Foundry because compliance is increasingly all that matters. This has resulted in enormous centralization of template construction that becomes a genuine attack vector at ~30% and has been consistently way above that for a long time now. 51% is a meme, and imo not a powerful enough one to inspire change if it actually comes to that. The frogs are already boiling and no one cares.\n\nLet's be honest. None of the miners on Foundry are leaving any time soon but the variance reducing product they offer that can be so trivially replicated elsewhere is not why any of them are doing what they are doing.\n\nFoundry is the sole occupant within the regulatory moat that is Bitcoin mining in America and I don't see that as trivial to replicate at all. \n\nAnd the reason I wish to sound the alarm 10,000 louder than I have been before this point is that the current US administration has run a campaign that specifically talks about centralizing Bitcoin in the US.\n\nThe phrase \"We will make all the Bitcoins in America\" is exactly the worst possible thing you could want to hear given everything I've talked about in this post and not only is it not being rejected by Bitcoiners, it is being celebrated as a good thing.","tags":[],"created_at":1737917613,"sig":"f42de1df52e9804d45758bc1ec2d6dc3d6f63cf4bef96711ff52bdf43ec868f15085669d4616f3d7fb5ae1ab3ed264af5ae47ca0451e40ddf5119c0af6d117c8"}

I guess that aligns, you as a good christian who follows the bible, would support slavery if the slaves are foreigners. It’s one of the things which confuses me most about Christianity… there’s all this talk about love and how everybody is a sinner, but then there’s stuff about god killing almost all humanity and animals for a reset, the great flood, or how slavery is fine if they’re foreigners… but you should also welcome them in to your home…

It’s a complex question that I resent people think can easily or sensitively discussed on forums like this because of the extremely nuanced nature of not only the conversation, content and deep historical knowledge needed to discuss such things; but also the very real bigotry and hate that is directed in both directions for either trying to question, or accepting the historical narrative. It’s rather infuriating as it is a needed conversation that seems nearly impossible because of how much it has loaded itself and the aggressive nature in which questioning isn’t presented as sincere questioning, similar to how defending the narrative doesn’t seem to have legitimacy beyond its own defense. So frankly I can’t really comment on any of it without opening a can of worms that needs a 5 hour podcast format just to get the preliminary view to understanding the very nature of the question itself.
