I've build a tool to detect differences between _my local_ mempool and what miners include in their block (there will always be slight differences). This is primarily intended to detect censorship, but can also detect transactions that never entered _my_ mempool.

See https://miningpool.observer

Brilliant! I remember thinking about this problem a few years back: what stops miners of a blockchain just ignoring transactions/anything from certain entities. So it's good that there exists a way to track such behaviour, if it is occurring.

Economics. If miners consistently ignore certain transactions, there is space for new miners to enter the market and earn super-normal profit. After the next difficulty adjustment cycle, the old, censoring miners may be priced out.

This is really neat. Have you thought about trying to bundle it as an app that can be downloaded on umbrel?

[b10c]

Yes! Will be on umbrel eventually. Currently needs a Bitcoin Core build from the master branch. The features use should be in the upcoming release. Then Umbrel!

Looking forward to it!
