Is it possible to effectively blacklist a bad miner with that much hash or is that just begging for a chain split?
Producing giant blocks with a lot of fees is a way to fix this
It mitigates it (a lot, compared to what BTC could manage if they had an equivalently sized bad actor) but their behavior is still delaying initial confirmations.
Wen giant blocks, there is really no reason to only mine coinbase
Looks like it’s some merge mining outfit called Hathor.
