Someone just spent a coinbase reward from blockheight 2247, less than 26 days after the genesis block, before the second difficulty adjustment 🤯

You ok bud?

Gm nostr, who is working on nostr key rotation?

#asknostr

It was pointed out that this is related to the babylon staking / withdrawals that was going on some time ago.

Mempool Watch 👀

Check your mempool and the recent blocks... you will see hundreds of high fee transactions that are all the same... let's explore

The txs have a 0.05 BTC input and are being spent with a fixed 64,000 sat fee, overpaying by 42x!

In total, this entity just spent almost 0.4 BTC in fees!

And it wasn't a consolidation so they will spent the same in the future if they keep their hardcoded fee.

All of the transactions have a P2TR tapscript which implements a 1-of-1 AND 6-of-9 multisig

One master key has to sign and in addition any 6 of the remaining 9 must sign.

This complex setup secured the 30 BTC that just moved in 600 individual transactions!

And this entity isn't done! They have another 30 BTC held in unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs), all with with the same scriptPubKey.

Thankful for a great day

Just sit still and wait

Energy across the sea

The sets are coming

Prior to sending the actual physical letter you could have a prediction market where anyone can indicate whether they think the physical verification will be successful.

The act of requesting verification would be a vote YES

Anyone could take the opposite bet (NO, this location is not legitimate).

Users who are good at consistently identifying false information would earn profit and be encouraged to continue.

This may generate high signal data more rapidly than your physical verification process can scale

Another benefit is that this could fund the verification process.

Once both sides of the bet exceeds the cost of doing the verification it could trigger. The winning side splits the winnings (losing side bets - verification cost) pro rata

🤙 thanks Nathan

Why are some bitcoin blocks empty?

Did you consider how a prediction market of sorts could be used to economically incentivize identifying bad data?

Thought the video was attached to your post for a moment.

Have you ever used testnet?

When you find out add to https://testnet4.com 👍

There’s a two tier block space market

You’d best hope your fee estimator is legit

That's annoying, I have had other people successfully zapping. What app are you using?

Thanks Dean ⚡️Would you use this?

Concept: VIP MODE

Show one post from each person you follow first.

Why? Today, unless people post and interact regularly they just disappear from their followers feeds. IMO this results in larger amounts of lower quality content.

What do you think? Which nostr client do you think will be the first to add VIP MODE ?
