So ... how was it?

Chaumian Mints will make this easy and hopefully the default for most people.

You don't have to stack in fiat. You can still stack in some custodial solution. Ideally some uncle Jim and not some Coinbase.

OpenDimes are without any way of redundancy. By design you can't have a backup.

This amount is too little to hold in more than one UTXO. I think that's the point of the question.

Fees in sats can also go up. It will be a very tough realization for people that have low balances or many UTXOs.

The owners come to their AirBnB and let their clients guess around before sharing what's up.

The father who talks about all kind of stuff while his son is severely ill on the back seat. Whatever can cause such symptoms probably would kill the kid within two days, yet daddy is kind of not all too excited.

The prepper gets all confrontational instead of proudly helping with advice at least. Preppers know they can't defend their stash all alone running out on their porch with a gun more than once, yet this confrontation is then presented as an example of citizens turning on each other.

The kids immediately forget the incident on the beach. Kids would be all excited about something like this and tell at least each other again and again what was going on. They would be excited about stuff they had to leave on the beach or something.

There were so many instances where I just thought this was wrong. Father not offering a ride to wherever he was going to the woman in the field ... she would probably have known where he was. Oh, this father was pathetic in every possible way.

There will be mild spoilers. Watch faster!

Uhm, 7.73789496 - 6.6127135 is at least 1.1 BTC that OCEAN would have left on the table, right?

Probably still somewhere between Lyttelton and Diamond harbor, Christchurch. ;)

It's an illusion to think that a miner that mines cheap transactions is doing anything good. By doing this, he has to not mine some transactions with higher fees, do it at a personal loss making it harder for everybody to figure out how to get transactions mined.

When suddenly getting surprised by these fees, things can get dicey. There's a sudden urgency to convince your counterparts to either pay the transaction fees or switch to lightning. I can open big channels but to make a $30 fee worth it, it has to be a really big channel.

You can pump the heat into the ground water or something. It still would have to dissipate somewhere. So if that ground water feeds into some river 5 days downstream, it would show up there. Maybe not after 5 days as it seeps through huge amounts of ground rock but weeks later or so ... you would have a signature if you had the prior temperature.

As long as these mints are used in tightly knit communities and not some Coinbase mint with millions of users ...

I have high hopes for Chaumian mints, too but fear people will put all their funds into the same few providers' wallets.

I think, wallets are much better at paying a reasonable fee today. In 2017/2018, the mempool grew in all fee ranges while today it grows very dominantly in the top fee range.

RBF helps move transactions into higher brackets, too.

... and coinjoins are priced out. :(

Historically, paying 100sat/vB almost always got you next block confirmation but today's high fees are not exceptional historically.

This graph shows data for 100sat/vB or more. Today's fees barely show.

The 2017/2018 fee event considering 1sat/vB and above:

The end-of-2023 fee event:

These charts are rendered by a server that measures the mempool's size and as there is no such thing as "the mempool", it's only one server's perspective on things and that server occasionally loses data which I think are these vertical drops in mem pool size.

I'm now curious. If there is a deep secret facility somewhere, how long does it take for heat to dissipate through the rock. Let's say you dig 500m deep and through some layer of ground water that you use to cool down any air from ventilation to ambient temperature. Let's say it's a 10MW facility. Unless there is good data on the temperature of a wide area prior to the installation, you wouldn't notice this as the heat would dissipate over a wide area and even 10MW would not make a dent compared to what the sun radiates on a square km for example.

thermal imaging certainly is great to locate secret facilities but do you really think this cam was deactivated on behalf of some 3 letter agency? HOTSAT-2 will soon be launched and for big facilities, more conventional thermal imaging satellites should already be enough to spot these anomalies.

Context?

nos2x-fox? Is there an alternative on firefox or did you uninstall firefox?
