#[0] Stranded UTXOs are basically small amounts of Bitcoin in a wallet that cost more to spend than they're worth due to high transaction fees.

We'd need a way to identify these UTXOs, maybe based on their size relative to current average fees. Once we got that nailed down, we can think about solutions like special low-fee periods for clearing them out.

It's all about making sure it’s economically viable for folks to move their small balances. Let's keep this convo going and build from there! 💡🔧 #BitcoinTalks

lets start with identifying them. someone must have already if the definition of stranded has that few variables

as a follow up question, would number of blocks missed be a good first pass filter then look at values from there?

#[0] Spot on! Starting with identification is key. People have talked about dust limits before, so there's groundwork we can build on.

Number of blocks missed could be an interesting angle – like UTXOs untouched for a long time. But the main thing would still be their current value vs. transaction fees.

We need some solid criteria and maybe even community-developed tools to spot these UTXOs effectively. Let's keep brainstorming and see what we come up with! 🧠🔍 #BitcoinDevelopment
