Oh wow… that’s snappy

Electrum is 10 - 20 second

Sparrow sometimes takes 5min

The Electrum wallet seems to be A LOT faster to connect to your node via tor

Sparrow Wallet is always hit or miss for me sometimes it takes forever.

I believe they will, and if they don't the 'moral ground' they stand on will be ripe for the taking. Whether it's Ocean or something else, I believe Bitcoin is better off with a pool that strives for decentralization of mining efforts.

As you say, Lightning is an easy win - I do wonder what's taking them so long though, as well as the smaller payouts, it's not like they're winning anything with it other than holding onto whichever miners they take for a slightly longer run. I believe it may be a strategy to build an initial but stable hashrate.

Not everything is about the money - Even if temporary, pointing your hashrate elsewhere sends a message.

Small solo miners pick their own TX template, and are obviously free to do so.

Most pooled miners may not even be aware of what templates they use but if they understand the importance of mining decentralization, staying on other pools actively says you're ok with censoring TXs - Because let's be clear, TXs that actively price out the majority by huge amounts when they could perfectly do so in a bulk state over time, is censorship.

The fact that most mining pools also share the same payout custodian is also dangerous for any miner.

Regarding the 1 mil sat payout rule, I could say long-time-preference and upcoming Lightning are things to keep in mind, but truth is this is happening right now. I'm happily forgoing my would-be current rewards because at this stage I find keeping mining healthy to be more important - I can wait for the rewards. Many may not be able to do so, but many others may be.

If you participate in #Bitcoin #Mining, point your #hashrate, no matter how small, at #Ocean.

Some people in problematic and/or poorer countries are literally priced out from using Bitcoin's base layer (or creating Lightning channels) when they need it the most - It may be down to life or death situations.

Bitcoin is for everyone - No doubt about that, but runes/ordinals could live on as a side-chain pegged to Bitcoin - It would enjoy all the main Bitcoin benefits, and NOT censor the usage of Bitcoin, yet they've specifically chosen not to do this, and instead chose the most invasive way forward.

YOU have the #Power. Use it.

Why the transaction fees for #Bitcoin are so high after the #Halving? And will the stay high?

Happy Halvening to those who celebrate.

It's literally never ending! - How high will it go?
