nimbus-eth1 VS rpc-endpoint

It certainly seems it will be remembered as a major success story for open p2p protocols on the global Internet of our time.

A great multitude of developers and enthusiasts belonging or contributing to diverse teams spread across the world: developing, debating, and collaborating for years to arrive at the big event.

And it's all been done very much in the public view:

I expect we will see a "merged" client in the future. Nimbus could be the closest of anyone to this vision (nimbus-eth1, nimbus-eth2). Not sure when this will happen though. Anyways, you have to remember -- these are two extremely complicated pieces of software. Just the interface between the two has been developed and tests over the last 18 months. I think there will always need to be serious encapsulation of logic for it to be maintainable.

You might want to look at their Flashbot Protect RPC. So, you might want to look at this one: https://github.com/flashbots/rpc-endpoint

Ethereum toolset alteady complying with OFAC https://github.com/flashbots/rpc-endpoint/blob/main/server/ofacblacklist.go

Has the Geth team ever considered or been pressured to add blacklist measures similar to those we are currently trying to remove from flashbots? What is the Geth team's stance on node-level blacklists?

how about check the flashbots github and come back with that same energy. i will be calm when everyone else is not, and not calm when they are (like now)

MEVBoost/Flashbot has already blocked all Tornado Cash smart contract addresses: https://github.com/flashbots/rpc-endpoint/pull/90

For the record, it feels like we've all got confused about the MEV-Boost OFAC Blacklist stuff. The changes, and proposed reversion - is on an unrelated repo https://github.com/flashbots/rpc-endpoint. These are RPC endpoints. MEV-Boost itself has no such proposals, and the only discussion i can find in the issues list is a long discussion of maintaining censorship resistance, https://github.com/flashbots/mev-boost/issues/215
