Some people look at the stars at night and enjoy the calm sense of being a tiny part of the universe. I have the same feeling looking at the nostr:npub18d4r6wanxkyrdfjdrjqzj2ukua5cas669ew2g5w7lf4a8te7awzqey6lt3 😊 nostr:note1f9j6wgqtlqtngl0tmp0ssxy53v28dmshfwych7wkatn3ws6jhqaqv7pt60

thanks for asking...that was a bit unclear. romanz/electrs and fulcrum will still be supported. we meant that blockstream/esplora won't be supported anymore, which only affects big production deployments.

We’re working on major improvements to The Mempool Open Source Project as part of our upcoming v3.0 release.
Here are some of them, which are already live on mempool.space
---
1/
We’ve re-implemented our block template algorithm in Rust for improved accuracy and performance.
Before:
After:
---
2/
We’ve begun visualizing both `mempoolfullrbf=0` and `mempoolfullrbf=1` transactions together
on our RBF timeline.
---
3/
We’ve forked blockstream/electrs to mempool/electrs and made many fixes and improvements.
(it's a breaking change -- mempool/mempool 3.x will require mempool/electrs 3.x)

4/
We’ve started integrating Mempool Accelerator™
---
5/
We now display and index P2PK outputs using their public keys.
Here's the first Bitcoin transaction from Satoshi to Hal Finney:
---
6/
We’ve made mempool blocks scrollable (most useful on mobile)
---
7/
We’ve imported historical mempool data from 2017 and 2018, thanks to a contribution from Jochen Hoenicke (https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#BTC,all,weight).

There's more coming for the full 3.0 release, stay tuned!
If you needed another reason to read/subscribe to the excellent Bitcoin Optech Newsletter...glozow and murch have been contributing a series on mempool policy for the past few weeks.
Part 8 came out this week.
Each written part of the series is accompanied by a discussion on the Bitcoin Optech Podcast.

would prefer a less dorky looking ostrich icon though haha
it sounds like you're concerned mempools might clear again
Something about single-digit fees, green blocks, and posting about it all on nostr...feels good, wagmi
Trusted third parties are usability holes

Mempool v2.5.0 is now available on #[0]!!
Update now to get your very own self-hosted Lightning explorer!
Also included: mined block visualization, historical fiat prices, updated search bar, and much more.
⚡⚡
Full release notes here.
Now it’s up to our friends at Umbrel, Start9, RaspiBlitz, myNode, RoninDojo, and Citadel to make it available on their Raspberry Pi full-nodes distros.
We just released v2.5.0 of the Mempool Open Source Project 🚀
This makes it possible for self-hosted Mempool instances to take advantage of the new features that we’ve released on mempool.space over the past few months.
We’re getting closer to our v2.5 release every day, but it’s complicated because of the new optional lightning node functionality. We should have updated Docker images published and an upgrade for Umbrel users within the next Two Weeks(tm), otherwise if you’re reckless feel free to upgrade your local instance to our master branch now 🤙
