Haven't been on top of it lately because I have a life and I can't continuously monitor the mempool. For months they'd been over 15 and 20, so there's that. But thanks for the heads up, I may be able to save a few UTXOs if tomorrow morning if the fees remain like that.

All this furthers my point really, which is precisely how the unpredictability of the fee system, the difficulty of UTXO management and all the billions of sats lost as dust and dead UTXOs now and in the future, make BTC a lousy currency for daily retail transactions.

Again, what are you talking about? Combining small/dust utxos and putting them in a lightning channel makes btc a fantastic currency for daily retail transactions.

Keep digging. You're only making the hole deeper and making my point clearer.

Blocks coming in with 3 sats/vB now. I suggest you consolidate to 1.5 to 2 Million sats per UTXO

My preferred size is 1 M, that's how I've been organizing most of my stack, although I may consolidate further, since I have no intention of spending or moving it at all in the foreseeable future.

Earlier this morning I already did some clean-up, at 4 sats/vB.

The future you will be grateful that you consolidated at 4 sats/vB 😎
