Fun fact - literally none of the seven validators currently active or pending w/ PFL are in the same data center.
CPU load is still a concern. As is bandwidth.
Re: monopoly - every single PFL node could crash and every validator using PFL would still continue to function just fine. That’s the whole point of our design.
Everyone here understands that higher MEV payments to validators means less money leftover for you. Your motive behind your PR is transparent. My motive is also transparent, but my solution actually fixes the problem and pays validators for doing so. Yours does neither - it simply continues to reward and incentivize spam (albeit to a lesser degree than before), places higher load on validators, and cuts them off from decentralized MEV revenue. But it leaves more money for you.
