I've build a tool to detect differences between _my local_ mempool and what miners include in their block (there will always be slight differences). This is primarily intended to detect censorship, but can also detect transactions that never entered _my_ mempool.

- neb_b 5y agoThis is really neat. Have you thought about trying to bundle it as an app that can be downloaded on umbrel?
- JefffJohn555 5y agoBrilliant! I remember thinking about this problem a few years back: what stops miners of a blockchain just ignoring transactions/anything from certain entities. So it's good that there exists a way to track such behaviour, if it is occurring.
