Bitcoin miner MARA dedicates block 879618 to the President-elect Donald Trump
"MARA DIGITAL HOLDINGS Welcomes Donald J. Trump as the 47th President of the United States of America," reads the OP_RETURN messages in the block, followed by the Constitution of the United States.
Wow that’s an expensive message.
The bitcoin just goes back to them in fees because they mined the block.
Right but that means they gave up all the fees they would have accumulated had they accepted other transactions.
Yeah, was gonna say this. This is one reason why transaction fees ought to be a very large portion of the mining reward.
might be one of those quick blocks that gets mined faster than it takes to collect real transactions
Are all included TXs created by MARA or did they pick mostly normal TXs from the mempool but arranged them differently in this block maybe not maximising for most fees collected?
I mean they wouldn't have to forgo 100% of fees that way.
All (or at least vast majority) were from MARA since they also embedded US constitution and greeting via OP_RETURN
Stroking the ego of the egotistical pays off if they can do favors for you
wow, thays some pathetic simp trash right there.
This is Bullshit Bitcoin lol
