Hi!

It would be neat if we could identify signet blocks by mining pool. One complication is it that it would be especially neat if this worked equally well for custom signets (eg https://plebnet.wiki/wiki/Plebnet_Playground). So two options come to mind.

Ideally:

• signet miners pick a random identifier, eg "--poolid=aj" and tag their blocks correspondingly, with "/signet:aj/" in the coinbase
• mempool.space picks up these entries from the coinbase by matching on "/signet:([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/" and creates pool entries for them

Does something like that seem feasible?

The other alternative seems to me to be:

• we hardcode 8 signet pools into pools.json, "Signet Pool 1" through "Signet Pool 8"
• signet miners pick a pool number, and tag their blocks with "/signet:3/" etc
• the code just works as-is

I've been tagging blocks with signet:2 and signet:3 recently, if you want to test.
