Although this is bad news, MARA AND F2Pool currently have about a 15% share of all mined blocks.

But there is also Foundry with 27% and that one is a closed pool with only big guys in the US mining, mainly companies listed on the stock exchange

Yeah, as soon as I saw the list of ViaBTC, Foundry USA, and F2Pool and the topic heading regarding censoring transactions, I naturally jumped to the conclusion that Foundry was likely to be the guilty party.  Simply because "America doing insular America-type-stuff" seemed to make sense to me.  Really surprised (and disappointed) to see it's actually F2Pool.  It seems they're now an insult to their own legacy.  What a spectacular fall from grace.

Echoing calls for independent miners to consider migrating to other, more ethical, pools (profitability margins permitting).
