Your keys. Your Bitcoin.

But who decides whether your payment gets confirmed?

The five largest mining pools account for roughly 80% of daily blocks in a recent 30-day average.

Independent miners supply the computing power. Under conventional pooling, pool operators usually choose which transactions that power works to confirm.

That’s a distinction every Bitcoiner should understand.

Your keys can remain secure while your valid payment waits for a willing miner.

Bitcoin’s defenses depend on keeping those alternatives open—and giving miners more control over what they mine.

When a pool says no, who still has the power to say yes?
