Waiting for my transaction to confirm

I think it’s a great idea. People just don’t understand the “micro” in micropayments yet. We can do tiny frictionless transactions now and we should be experimenting more with it. At scale, all the little transactions add up to actual value and filter out most of the noise.

Is there any iOS client that has the “follow all” feature on someone’s follows list? #asknostr

Miners don’t have to include transactions in a block, it’s voluntary. They just do it because of the transactions fees that they earn from including them. Mining pools send an empty block template to the miners first, because it’s faster to send (less data) so they can already start mining and only later send a new block template that includes transactions. Sometimes a block gets found in the time between those two templates, resulting in an empty block.

That is just empty block mining, happens all the time. Btw that 1 transaction is the coinbase transaction (rewarding miners with the block subsidy + fees)

64, power of 2 and it’s just over 3x the standard so the recipient can do 3 zaps and still have a sat left, hopefully encouraging more zaps.

How come nostr:npub1s33sw6y2p8kpz2t8avz5feu2n6yvfr6swykrnm2frletd7spnt5qew252p doesn’t get more zaps on the educational videos he makes daily and posts directly to nostr? #V4V

1 sat = 1 sat

But Number Go Up technology also means more funding and financial runway for Bitcoin projects and other freedom tech.

If you had been planning to mine a million coins and never move them, would you hint about that in such a way? I’d say it was just a simpler calculation.

Probably because it’s a very rough calculation. He talks about dividing 100-300 trillion by 20 million. The extra million wouldn’t make much difference in his Jan 2009 prediction guesstimate of $10 million per coin.
