How do people feel about the existence of private mempools like taichi.network? If you had to take a position, would you support or oppose them?
On one hand, they feel a bit shady to me, perhaps because they move toward a two-tier network where some people have an unfair advantage over others. One might counter that the service is available to anyone who is willing to pay for it, but it still doesn’t feel very good.
On the other hand, they provide a valuable service by solving a problem (frontrunning) for users.
Does MEV-Geth tie miner and eth client via configuration then? A user creating bundles via searchers will be able to white/blacklist specific minters correct?
If that is the case, I’m wondering the distinction between a darkpool and this practice? Could these be thought of as open source dark pools?
