is there any significance to the fact that in one direction there was no fee, but in the other direction there was a fee?

Tooling to take advantage of low cost blockspace.

I want my mobile wallet to alert me of abnormally cheap blockspace and (semi)automate the generation of utxo management transactions.

Imagine this in the distant future. You buy a new bitcoin signing device which is open source (hardware & software). You stop by nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7cnjvghxjme0qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcqypwly85wcy0zreahzzk86my5gf6q0tnfaya8lncdpglw97kylhyykqkwds9 and pay 100 sats to use their chip verifier. It checks that your hardware wallet chips match the open source spec.

Sounds like science fiction, but check out this new talk by Bunnie Huang where he presents a technique for "seeing through silicon" - inspecting chips which are on circuitboards from the backside without removal.

"How important is the transparency aspect of this, and how far do we, as a country, want to go with our Bitcoin holdings? If we look at the El Salvador model, they have a page that shows exactly how much Bitcoin they hold at all times."

Odell challenges the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve's foundation on seized assets as fundamentally contradicting Bitcoin's property rights principles.

While proposing that seized bitcoin should be legally burned to deter government confiscation, he acknowledges a silver lining: the reserve signals Bitcoin's legitimacy and creates an aligned incentive structure benefiting both holders and the state.

He warns against complacency and calls for continued vigilance in protecting the freedom to use Bitcoin without permission.
