Marathon می گوید که استخر ماینینگ آن پس از اعتراض جامعه بیت کوین، سانسور تراکنش ها را متوقف خواهد کرد

Marathon Digital is reconfiguring its “sanctions-compliant” bitcoin mining pool following a community backlash.

مدیر عامل فرد تیل اعلام کرد the move in a statement posted on the firm’s website on May 31. Marathon’s MARA Pool began اعتبارسنجی بلوک ها on the Bitcoin network at the beginning of May, using wallet risk-scoring software from DMG that, according to Marathon, filtered out transactions involving wallets that appear on the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control. 

“Over the coming week, we will be updating all our miners to the full standard Bitcoin Core 0.21.1 node, including support for Taproot. By adopting the full standard Bitcoin core node, we will be validating transactions on the blockchain in the exact same way as all other miners who use the standard node,” Thiel said in the firm’s video statement.

در طول ماه می، استخر MARA ذوب شده 226.6 BTC under this system, which many noted resulted in significantly reduced transaction fees going to the miners, as well as blocks that featured far fewer transactions than peers. With the adoption of Bitcoin Core version 0.21.1, the firm is moving away from “OFAC-compliant” mining. A representative for Marathon confirmed to The Block that this would include moving away from its partnership with DMG. 

در مصاحبه ای با The Block، Thiel در مورد مناقشه بر سر استخراج مطابق با OFAC گفت:

«در اینجا مقدار مشخصی از سیاست بیت کوین درگیر است. از یک طرف شما گروه هایی در جامعه بیت کوین دارید که همه در مورد حداکثر تمرکززدایی هستند. آنها با کل مفهوم انجام هر کاری که مربوط به انطباق با مقررات مالی یا مقررات دولتی باشد مخالفند. سپس سرمایه گذاران نهادی هستند که از این واقعیت خوششان می آید که مردم تلاش می کنند بلاک چین را سازگارتر کنند زیرا سرمایه گذاری را برای شما ایمن تر می کند.

Despite Marathon’s overhauled approach to mining, Thiel maintained that major institutions will steer clear of a regulation-agnostic bitcoin in an email to The Block: 

“The industry will have to be responsive to regulatory requirements if the financial services industry and investors are going to participate — because they will not if it’s a violation of regulations,” said Thiel. “That being said we fully support the bitcoin community and their desire for full transparency decentralization.”
