Underlying the argument that inscription high fees will "go away" someday is the implication that, if they never went away, that would be an intolerable situation.

But they have been saying this for over 10 months.

So I want to know...how long is too long to tolerate literal scams flooding the mempool? 10 more months? Years? Never?

It wasn't the entire 10 months. We had 1.01sat/vb going though at the end of April & also October.

Let's see after this coming bull run. 3 years from now if they're still doing this BS. They will eventually run out of money.

But also, for LN channels/coin join we need to be really sure about it in this environment. I'd pay $100 to open a LN channel if I really have to.

Existing LN channels are expensive too with all these force closures. When channel sizes in the single millions, it is bad for operators when major chunks of their liquidity go to unilateral closure fees.

Yes, I'm still trying to understand if they're all LND or get forced closed for other reasons.

But if you are to run a LN node and open/close channels you're going to run it with more seriousness like a business. Not just open random channels to random plebs
