Thank you for posting this. I skimmed while at work, but this is very useful data to understand the actual speed of memory vs the theoretical. Can’t wait to dig in more later.

Thanks for your support

The conclusion seems solid to me. even blockspace goes through waves and creates opportunities

When life gives you uncontested blockspace, make transactions

But to clarify, doesn't consolidating the blocks during these cheap/free times mean you lose that extra privacy when you go to spend it as all would be coming from one account from thereon? It sounds like to me that it makes sense for transactions, say, under $100... any higher, not really to preserve that privacy coming from different accounts.

Yeah consolidating has privacy tradeoffs. Many other ways to use blockspace, maybe you are making lightning channels, moving to multisig, or just making regular on chain payments with lower fees than lightning (for large spends)!
