Very good video 👏🏼.. however also bitaxe projects are based on bitmain asic chips .. so it could be a revolution for solo mining however high perf asics chips are still undocumented blackboxes

But why can’t the sender choose? Won’t that increase decentralization and stronger free market dynamics?
yes, I have a plan to buy two bitaxe, one for solo mining and one for pool ;-) I think that braiins is working on it own chip and I trust trezor HW wallet, there is new 7 which looks very interesting
You create a transaction, it goes to the mempool of all Bitcoin Node, the miner choose which transaction include in the next block. There are about 20 mining pool, an 10000 solo miner who try to mine a new block. This is how bitcoin works, and can't works in any other different way

Thanks for explaining. I’m not technical so it’s nice to have these thought experiments to understand the protocol better
How can you identify a miner? If 1000 transaction choose 1000 different miner, they mine a block with one transaction each? If a miner mine a transaction destinated to another miner, what happen? Doesn't work, no one blockchain works in this manner.
Awesome Video!🧡 Another Bitcoin's Dirty Secret: Miners DON'T construct blocks, pools do! Just 6 pools mine >95% of all blocks. Because 99% of hashrate still runs Stratum V1...
