Your signal. Your price.
Peter Todd joined publicly traded miner Mara Foundation as the lead maintainer of Slipstream, a service allowing users to submit transactions directly to Mara and bypass the standard public mempool.
Peter Todd has joined the Mara Foundation as lead maintainer of Slipstream, a private mempool service routing transactions directly to miners. Todd argues mempool policy should follow market demand rather than restricting how users transact on Bitcoin.
Marty Bent highlights Starkware's successful execution of a quantum-resistant transaction on the Bitcoin mainnet. The out-of-band transaction was mined by Marathon using its Slipstream service, proving that alternative signature schemes can function under current consensus rules.
Starkware executed the first quantum-resistant Bitcoin transaction on the mainnet by sending it directly to MARA's Slipstream service. The method uses signature grinding to hide public key data while the transaction sits in the public mempool.
Orange Surf cautions that private broadcasting via Marathon carries a delay because Marathon controls only 4% to 5% of the global network hash rate. Users must tolerate longer waiting times for confirmation.
For at-risk multi-sig wallets with un-reused addresses, Rob Hamilton suggests using Mara Slipstream to broadcast transactions directly to a mining pool, which helps prevent replace-by-fee attacks by faster confirmation.
