Slipstream lets users submit transactions directly to MARA rather than broadcast them across the public mempool, with the aim of improving inclusion for transactions that may face public-mempool limits. The move brings a prominent Bitcoin developer into a miner-operated transaction-routing service, raising questions about the balance between private submission options and the transparency and equal access of Bitcoin’s public mempool. --- ## Sources 1. https://bitcoinmagazine.com/news/peter-todd-joins-mara-to-lead-slipstream --- *Content provided by BITERMINAL — https://biterminal.rendrr.app* *Powered by xAI Grok.
