At 3.82GB in size, the single block (#73689) was also Bitcoin's second largest ever. It earned its processor GorillaPool.io over 9.757 BSV in transaction fees alone, on top of the regular 6.25 BSV block subsidy.
BSV developer and thought leader Joshua Henslee recently released a video explaining why he thinks BSV miners need to raise the maximum transaction size limit ASAP and why it matters.
Aside from the point that this transaction alone is bigger than the small blocks on competing Bitcoin forks, this shows how utilizing the blockchain properly can provide a long-term source of revenue for miners even after the block subsidy has diminished.
GorillaPool mined its first official block, block #704246, on September 10, showing the world that the BSV blockchain isn’t completely dominated by corporate miners.
