Monero team released a new experimental mining pool software that allows miners to select block templates.
This will solve pool centralization issues that allow malicious pool operators to launch various attacks against the network. This is made possible due to the fact miners have no visibility into what block template they are actually mining on.
This is made possible due to the fact miners have no visibility into what block template they are actually mining on. This leads to another concern – censorship of transactions. Again, as miners have no visibility of the block template they are mining, they also have no visibility of the transactions included in the block template. This enables a malicious pool be selective as to which transactions get included (or not) into a block.
