Daily Report Part 2/3 — Competitors + Sentiment 2026-05-14

🏁 f2pool Competitors

1. @AntPoolofficial

2. @ViaBTC

3. @SpiderPool_com

🏁 stakefish Competitors

8. @everstake_pool

🔴 f2pool & stakefish Sentiment

f2pool Sentiment

🟢 Positive — NAT ecosystem continues expanding, global mining pool alliance narrative forming after Luxor joins

Key news: X search for "f2pool" dominated by NAT ecosystem content. KuCoin published its third consecutive NAT deep-dive article, analyzing why major pools like f2pool quickly followed SpiderPool's NAT mining mechanism. Community now positions f2pool, SpiderPool, AntPool, and Luxor as a global mining pool alliance, claiming "East vs West divide has disappeared."

No f2pool lawsuit / f2pool hack / f2pool scam / switch from f2pool negative content found.

stakefish Sentiment

🟡 Neutral-to-Caution — Cosmos voting incident still prominent in search results, account silent for 3+ weeks

Ongoing incident:

No new stakefish SEC / stakefish down / stakefish scam negative content found.

🚨 OP_RETURN / Spam Monitoring

9. @CunyRenaud (Renaud Cuny)

10. @LukeDashjr (Luke Dashjr)

11. @peterktodd (Peter Todd)

  • Past 48h posts focused on geopolitics/privacy topics (Sweden child GPS tracking pre-crime system, NYT Gaza photo controversy, UK politician resignation)
  • No OP_RETURN / spam / mining-related technical content
  • Activity: High (but unrelated to BTC mining/spam topics)

12. @GrassFedBitcoin (Mechanic #BIP-110)

OP_RETURN Summary

  • Foundry USA first large OP_RETURN: CunyRenaud recorded 7.3KB payload in block 949185; Foundry had never been flagged before, possibly indicating node upgrade to versions that no longer filter large OP_RETURNs
  • BIP-110 enters node distribution promotion phase: with Bitcoin Knots 29.3 including built-in RDTS, PRs submitted to Umbrel/Start9/MyNode/RaspiBlitz, aiming for one-click upgrade for regular node operators
  • GrassFedBitcoin acknowledges industry apathy: despite grassroots support for BIP-110, "industry majority remains apathetic," forced activation faces resistance in the short term
  • BIP-54 coinbase locktime sparks new controversy: already active in 5.5% of blocks; Luke Dashjr camp criticizes Bitcoin Core for unilateral deployment without sufficient discussion
  • Peter Todd absent from OP_RETURN discussion this week: attention shifted to privacy/geopolitics topics

⚡ Action Items Summary

Combined from Part 1 + Part 2 + Part 3:

🔴 Urgent

  1. stakefish Cosmos voting incident unaddressed for 3 weeks — searching "stakefish" still surfaces criticism; account silent for 3+ weeks. Decision needed on whether to publicly respond or at minimum resume social activity to prevent ongoing reputation erosion.
  2. SSV ETH payment transition: existing clusters must top up immediately — testnet live 5/11, mainnet timing TBD. Insufficient cluster runway will cause validator shutdown; all SSV cluster balances need immediate review.
  3. 13F disclosure day tomorrow (5/15) — Buffett, Druckenmiller, Ackman, Aschenbrenner and other major funds' Q1 2026 holdings going public; potential market volatility catalyst.

🟡 Important

  1. Foundry USA first large OP_RETURN (7.3KB) — may indicate Foundry upgraded to v30+ and no longer filters; resistance from major pools to OP_RETURN camp further diminishing. f2pool needs to clarify its own OP_RETURN filtering policy stance.
  2. BIP-110 enters node distribution promotion phase — PRs submitted to Umbrel/Start9/MyNode/RaspiBlitz; if accepted, RDTS node share will significantly increase. Monitor whether distributions merge these PRs.
  3. Lido May Snapshot vote deadline 5/18 — includes NEST automated LDO buyback and other proposals; ensure voting participation.
  4. Everstake exiting Story Protocol (redelegate before 5/18) — competitor network footprint change worth monitoring.
  5. Bitcoin and Crypto Clarity Act clears Senate committee — staking and non-custodial validator operations classified as technical infrastructure, favorable for stakefish's business characterization. Figment has publicly voiced support.
  6. MARA IR clarifies BTC sale misinterpretation — market had circulated reports of MARA additionally selling $1.5B BTC; clarified as previously disclosed debt reduction. Note sensitivity of miner BTC holdings narratives.

🟢 Positive

  1. f2pool NAT ecosystem narrative remains positive — KuCoin's third consecutive deep-dive, community forming "global mining pool alliance" narrative, East-West divide disappeared.
  2. ether.fi $220M TVL migration to OP Mainnet completed — zero downtime, Cash contributing ~50% revenue, strong execution.
  3. cSSV staking reaches 1.75M SSV, 7-day APR 22-25% — high ecosystem activity, Genesis Boost ongoing.
  4. Core Scientific dual campus ~3 GW total + $3.3B financing secured — most aggressive expansion among miners, most advanced AI/HPC transition.
  5. STRC par stability validated — $100 par, $508M daily liquidity, only 2 cents volatility; Apyx holding $180M, small businesses starting to allocate BTC+STRC.
  6. Jito FireBAM client released — BAM coverage extended to additional ~12% of Solana validators.
  7. Kevin Warsh officially confirmed as Fed Governor — pro-Bitcoin stance, long-term positive for the industry.
