@mempool's block audit also expected the transactions and considers it as excluded due to "marginal fee rate" too

miningpool-observer alerting about a "Sanctioned Transaction missing from Block" on @f2pool_offical's block 875575.
I think it was reasonable for F2Pool not to include it as they knew about transactions paying a higher fee - but I'll keep an eye on it

No drop in inbound connections to my Bitcoin P2P monitoring nodes since the start of the #cloudstrike incident.
(matches my assumption that most nodes probably don't run on Windows servers with cloudstrike installed)

mining pool game theory during forks
Todays fork between Foundry (winning) and AntPool again shows that AntPool (& friends/proxies) isn't mining on their own block during a fork.
AntPool first send an empty job mining on their own block but then switched to Foundry's block and found a block on it.

Another fork between AntPool (loosing) and Foundry (winning). While my data shows that all pools besides Foundry mined on AntPool's block, ViaBTC found a block on Foundry's block.
Also, we see forks now almost every other day now..

Another fork between @AntPoolofficial (losing) and @FoundryServices (winning). While AntPool and friends started off mining an empty block on AntPool's block, they switched to Foundry's block with the next (non-empty) mining job.

During today's fork between ViaBTC (losing) and AntPool (winning), AntPool & a few other pools briefly mined empty blocks on AntPools block before switching to ViaBTCs.
Foundry ended up mining a block on AntPool's block causing AntPool, despite giving up on it's block, to win.

Earlier today, AntPool and Foundry both found a block at height 845869.
Foundry's block was found a few seconds after AntPool's. All pools, including Foundry, continued mining on AntPool's block.

How mined on which previous block during today's fork at height 845626 (Foundry vs SpiderPool)?
Interestingly, Braiins, Ultimus Pool, and Luxor first mined on SpiderPools block before switching to Foundry's block. Ultimately, SpiderPool's block won decided by AntPool's 845628.
