I'm very ignorant with regards to what the mempool being full actually means for bitcoiners.

Can you explain to me why this baby is happy about that? ๐Ÿ™

Thanks ๐Ÿค™

The mempool collects all bitcoin transactions from wallets/apps.

Miners get transactions from the mempool to put them into blocks.

If the mempool is full that means the road is full. The pipe is clogged. The fat lady is stuck.

Everyone wants into the club but the miners only accept the ones with high fees.

Pay high fees or wait in line ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Lightning channel transactions do not wait in line.

They bring the party on the street. ๐Ÿงกโšก๏ธ

Thank you. So lightning users just don't mind and lightning node runners are extra happy? I'm assuming lightning node runners make more the more lightning is used.

The normal lightning node runner usually does not make significant amounts no.
