You can SSH in and increase the memory allocation for the mempool.

300Mb is good a sweet spot though, it will be fine after the morons stop flooding it with JPEGs.

Unless you need to see the transactions and don't want to trust mempool.space I wouldn't bother messing with it.

This model assumes that time travel backwards was unique to one person. In that case, mining bitcoin early would have not likely been the best use of that power.

If backward time travel had been readily available, we would have known it by now.

Part of my philosophy is that the Bitcoin ledger is the hardest immutable source of truth we have ever known. It will be used as hard evidence that things are ordered in the way they were broadcast. Going back in time would allow you to (aside from being wealthy) change the natural order of things - which to me will have been far more valuable than money. Therefore, if it had been possible in the future, it would have already happened in the past.

Oh no, now I'm cross-eyed.

The incentive for modifying the timechain goes way deeper than money... Like I said, I'm still working on this philosophy.

Bitcoin may show empirical evidence that travelling back in time will never have been possible.

-me, no earlier than 2023

I'm still pondering this, but it might have solid basis.
