Bitcoin (BTC) Node Policy Shift 2025: Libre Relay and Preferential Peering Reduce Influence, Risk Incentivizing Pool APIs and Private Peering — What Traders Should Watch

According to @adam3us, node policy no longer has the same nudge effect on transaction propagation as it once did due to the evolution of libre relay and preferential peering, reducing the leverage of default node policies over miner-facing pathways. Source: Adam Back on X, Sep 11, 2025 According to @adam3us, efforts to tighten node-level cohesion have limited effect and, if temporarily effective, may backfire by encouraging pools to adopt direct pool APIs and private peering, further bypassing public policy controls. Source: Adam Back on X, Sep 11, 2025 According to @adam3us, traders should recognize this tilt toward private, policy-resistant propagation channels when assessing Bitcoin network assumptions around transaction relay and miner connectivity.

Bitcoin (BTC) Mining Pools and JPEG Filtering: @adam3us Says Non-Filtering May Be Unprofitable; 3 Key Signals for Traders in 2025

According to @adam3us, Bitcoin mining pools that do not filter JPEG-related transactions could be unprofitable even in the short term compared with filtering, underscoring immediate incentives for content filtering in block templates; source: X post by @adam3us on 2025-09-05 https://twitter.com/adam3us/status/1963847304361742407. He highlights centralization risks, noting there are few pools and that solo miners and small pools may not be in key lists, which concentrates decision-making over transaction selection; source: X post by @adam3us on 2025-09-05 https://twitter.com/adam3us/status/1963847304361742407. He adds that with Stratum v2 and datum configurations, larger setups can scale without miners themselves choosing blocks, shifting practical control over block composition; source: X post by @adam3us on 2025-09-05 https://twitter.com/adam3us/status/1963847304361742407. For BTC traders, these points directly concern transaction selection and miner incentives that shape block templates and fee flows, so monitoring mining-pool filtering policies and Stratum v2 rollout is pertinent; source: X post by @adam3us on 2025-09-05 https://twitter.com/adam3us/status/1963847304361742407.

Adam Back Proposes 1-of-n Multisig Wallet Fee Routing to Favor BTC Mining Pools Rejecting JPEG Inscriptions, Warns of Centralization Risks

According to Adam Back, a wallet-level fee routing sketch would send the minimum network fee on-chain while directing the remainder of the dynamic fee to a 1-of-n multisig controlled by mining pools that reject JPEG inscriptions, with the goal of depriving pools that process such transactions of fee revenue, source: Adam Back on X, Sep 5, 2025. According to Adam Back, he notes that implementing this without introducing new centralization risks is difficult, explicitly flagging centralization trade-offs in the approach, source: Adam Back on X, Sep 5, 2025. According to Adam Back, the stated intent directly targets miner revenue distribution and transaction selection incentives in the BTC fee market by shifting fees toward inscription-filtering pools and away from pools that include those transactions, source: Adam Back on X, Sep 5, 2025.

BTC Fee Market Alert: Adam Back Urges Miners to Avoid 'JPEGs' via Pool Shifts and Economic Lobbying — 3 On-Chain Signals for Traders

According to @adam3us, nudging miners with education, outreach to switch to pools that do not include image-style 'JPEG' transactions, and fee-backed economic lobbying could reduce their inclusion in BTC blocks, indicating a push for stricter pool-level transaction policies, source: Adam Back (X, Sep 5, 2025). A coordinated mining-pool policy directly changes block templates and which transactions compete for scarce block space, thereby influencing the Bitcoin fee market, source: Bitcoin.org Developer Guide on Mining and Transaction Fees. Traders should monitor pool policy announcements, the share of blocks mined by pools that exclude such transactions, and median sat/vB fee levels as near-term catalysts for BTC on-chain costs and throughput, source: Bitcoin.org Mining overview; mining pool operator communications. A visible decline in these image-style transactions would be reflected in mempool composition and block contents, signaling potential easing of fee spikes that impact deposit and withdrawal costs for exchanges and users, source: Bitcoin.org Mempool and Fees documentation.

Bitcoin BTC miners and pools avoid negative PR for 0.1 percent gains, Adam Back says: trading impact on BTC price and hashrate

According to @adam3us, public miners and mining pools are disincentivized from actions that create excessive negative PR because it can impact the share prices of listed miners, a factor traders should consider when assessing miner equity risk and crypto market sentiment, source: @adam3us on X, Sep 5, 2025. According to @adam3us, a 0.1 percent profit bump can be offset by soft factors such as miners switching pools and harm to the BTC price, indicating that marginal revenue strategies that risk reputational damage may not be economically rational for miners and pools, source: @adam3us on X, Sep 5, 2025.

Bitcoin Core Controversy: Mining Pools Urged to Reject Proposed Code Change Impacting User Security

According to @parkeralewis, Bitcoin companies and mining pools with active users are being urged to reject a proposed change to the Bitcoin Core software, citing concerns over user security and decentralization.

Proposal to Rename Major Mining Pools to 'AntPool & Friends' on Mempool's Page

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.
