According to @BitMEXResearch, a suggestion has been made to @mempool to consider renaming Antpool, Poolin, Braiins Pool, and Binance Pool to 'AntPool & Friends' on their mining pool page. This proposal aims to simplify the representation of these major mining pools on the mempool's website, potentially making it easier for users to identify and understand the relationships between these entities. The request was highlighted in a tweet by @BitMEXResearch, referencing a detailed analysis available on b10c.me.

According to @OrangeSurfBTC, the Mempool Block Size Report explores the evolution of Bitcoin's block size since 2009, highlighting that miner behavior and Bitcoin Core defaults, rather than merely the 1 MB consensus limit, have significantly influenced block size growth. This report estimates that approximately 8% of the block size changes can be attributed to these factors, which is crucial for traders to understand as it affects transaction fees and confirmation times.
