Fold apparently isn’t covering the miner fee anymore, so you’re paying the miner to process your transaction. Unfortunately, mining fees are insanely high right now as a result of ordinal/inscription/fiat-gainz nonsense.
Discussion
Thanks for this insight. Could this have changed within 1 week? I thought the ordinal stuff has been around for months..
Yeah inscriptions can change shit quick. It has been it died down for awhile but now ordi coin thingy got listed on binance i guess? So its resparked interest in it again so they are back minting away
Do you mean Fold’s policy or the high fee environment?
Fold stopped paying the miner fee when they brought back Bitcoin buying recently; on-chain fees can rise and fall pretty quickly, especially over the span of a few days.
Ask nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx what he thinks about the mempool. I bet he’d have some thoughts
Yeah I bought some the day I got the announcement it came back and that's the difference I noticed against yesterday. Not the policy specifically but the difference between 10% fee vs 90% fee for two identical transfer withing one week.
