A busy network is a healthy network

If you can afford the fees.

If you can't afford the fees now, you won't be able to later.

People got comfortable because they weren't around in 2017.

True but I am finding I can use lightning more and more now. High fees were inevitable but Ordinals made it happen sooner

It's a bitch to setup for proper sovereign use, but if you can get over that hurdle, I agree. Game changer.

True and not just the setup, the ongoing management of a LN node is a pain but it is getting better

Wen 1 milly?

Soon TM

And yet many continue to make small transactions on chain for totally outrageous fees? I must wonder which tools default to allow such misuse and who is using them?

😲😱πŸ€ͺ

Indeed. Good for the miners I suppose, but I find it depressing to see this. And it happens a lot. It can't be good for adoption to allow/encourage such inefficient use of the most powerful network on the planet. 😟

It's honestly a travesty considering @mempool has such good fee selection and a free API.

That's an address?

yeah, sorry, i've meant the txs which are involved with this address. a shitload of dust sized outputs with odd output-to-fee ratio and some witness data. i'm guessing it's some esoteric use case like ordinals

Yep it'll be those BRC20 things

And what is their purpose?

Fuck

Purging 10.8 lol

It’s all ordinals, uneducated idiots only care about fiat
