Thanks for the feedback. Can you change the entry in the mapping information file with the correct name, description, and website as well? And then we'll approve and merge this.

Hi @leo42, thanks a lot for your input! I understand that your pool is a completely separate entity from Binance and apologies for the mix-up. However, here is the issue: if you run the following query on Big Query it returns multiple pools that are identified by the BSP ticker, some of which are / were operated by Binance.

SELECT ticker_name, json as metadata FROM `iog-data-analytics.cardano_mainnet.pool_offline_data` WHERE ticker_name = "BSP"

We already have a way to identify such conflicts (where multiple pools share the same ticker but have different homepages (see this Cardano conflicts file), but we haven't updated the main mapping info file we use yet because we don't currently have a way of dealing with duplicate tickers.

I'm afraid I can't approve your changes because then many blocks that were created by Binance pools would be attributed to your pool. Instead, we can update our methodology to use another way to identify pools in Cardano, as tickers are not unique. I was about to create a new issue for this, but I just saw that you have already created a relevant issue (sorry for not seeing this sooner, I'll try to update my notification settings as I'm currently not getting any notifications from this repo for some reason).

@dimkarakostas you can share your thoughts too but my opinion is that we can close this PR and shift our focus to updating the methodology, which will take care of this inaccuracy (and possibly others) along the way
