Hey @Zappool , Zappool works great with Ocean, but many people are scared away in the moment when they see Ocean's name. It would be nice if Zappool worked with another less controversial pool, like Braiins Pool. Ocean's strong pro-filtering stance is very controversial ideologically.

Noted and agreed. Ocean was selected because of technical reasons -- easy way to do own template and add hooks, lightning payments -- and bc it's fully permissionless. But yeah, even though Zappool uses its own template, and most Ocean blocks are special template not Ocean's own, it's not possible to detach from Ocean's strong affiliation with filtering and Knots and Luke Dashjr. And BIP110 lately. It would be much better if Zappool didn't have to deal with that shit. Braiins pool (formerly Slush) is nice. It doesn't allow for own template, and talk is that they use Antpool template. They have LN, and you can reg with an email only (I think). It would be nice to have Braiins as an option for pool backend. It would need a custom stratumv1 proxy and the Braiins interfacing. I will put it on the roadmap. I expect BIP110 to degenerate into an ugly fight (and fail spectacularly), and I'd like to keep Zappool far from the fan that will get hit by catshit.
