BMG pool mined all five 32 MB blocks today. Why is that? Do they have superior hardware or is software optimized in some way (they support BitcoinSV btw).

... to learn why the other pools did not have a chance to make 32mb blocks. (the TX relay issues have been somewhat mitigated, but not solved. their mempools never filled up)

It is likely a mix between the stresstest tools using specific entry points in the network, and stronger-than-average hardware. See https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#4,24h

AFAIK, all the txs in these blocks were created by BMG and then propagated, so BMG has an initial advantage as it didn't have to download the full blocks.
replied 2747d
No, this was just BMG miners creating and mining their own transactions.

Does that help to understand the network capacity or does it mean their blocks were irrelevant ? If the latter, that’s disappointing
replied 2746d
Their blocks were completely irrelevant, made of all their own transactions, and put in their own block before propagated to network. This was a CSW trick to make SV look superior.

CSW trick? Wasn't this a perfect example of PERMISIONLESS block creation? Aren't we all for permisionless or is the narrative about to be skewed by ABCeniles again?
replied 2746d
they are on-edge, feeling dramatic... reality - that block created on a stress-test-day, it helped BU improve 👌👏; CSW just has an alternative to TxBlaster, chill out 💋

They did indeed hit the network, which is why so many BU nodes dropped out. In the end, the miners know what is real and what is not and get to decide on the implementation they want

What do you mean "their own"? Transactions were propagated to multiple nodes simultaneously from an independent source as far as I read.

Those aren't the transactions I was referring to, while they occurred at the same time.

I showed you evidcnce. Do you have any?

You did not show me any evidence*.
