If you're currently confused as to why miners like TAAL aren't mining huge blocks despite the large number of transactions being pushed through on BSV...

Look at the average sat/B fees they're accepting.

Remember folks, this is a market...

Of course it’s a market. But right now ViaBTC are leaving fees on the table at 0.25 sat/b while mining others at the same rate (WeatherSV). They have clearly capped their block size to 1 mb. 🤷‍♂️ Why 🤔

I'd bet they haven't invested in the software required to manage transactions they put into their blocks, so they've capped the size to 1MB in order to reduce expenses... They're after the subsidy, not the fees. It's easier for them that way.

That is the sort of miner that will die out over the next ~4-8 years.

Depends on how quickly transaction volume rises...

Yep short term gain they seem to be going for. Sad to see tbh. They were doing 8mb blocks fairly consistently a while back, not sure if they went higher than that though. 🤞 we see txs volume increase massively forcing them to alter course.
