Why It Belongs

This is the natural companion piece to "Ethereum is a Dark Forest." Where the first article shows a rescue attempt losing to public mempool adversaries, this follow-up shows coordination, private routing, security contacts, and mining-pool cooperation as a successful defense.

It is worth keeping in the selected shelf because it reads like operational incident response, crypto folklore, and a systems lesson at once. For the Quarterbridge archive, it can sit as a bridge between mining infrastructure, protocol politics, and real-time security work.
