Mining empty blocks is disincentivized through transaction fees, so would only be done with other incentives (like a government subsidized pool to attack the network, or the government themselves attacking the network.)

There is no “legitimate” reason to mine empty blocks unless there are 0 transactions in the mempool.

This is something I haven't talked about publicly yet, but some of the key reasons why I've shifted focus back to Bitcoin over Monero (but haven't abandoned Monero or changed my stance on it as a powerful tool for freedom!) in the last ~1y below:

Have a relaxing Sunday y’all 😌

Nostr as a protocol, and the community in the Nostr ecosystem of clients, are absolutely incredible.

Little capital provided, and yet here it all is.

Keep building. This is awesome. A technology whose time has come.

They call Bitcoin a religion, well they can say whatever they like. I'm motivated by truth and reason and the desire to see humanity freed from the grips of fiat slavery. This is what sets me on fire. There's 10 million other people just like me who will sit on their bitcoin for entire generation if that's what it takes.

Fiat cannot win.

Fiat has destroyed the incentives for good customer service.

I asked the provider. Hopefully there’s something that can be done. Thx

Thx guys , I did not initiate the tx and it doesn’t have that fancy flag to increase the fee

I am actually stuck with a transaction that won’t ever be mined. I have no idea what to do at this point rather than wait weeks or who knows if it’ll ever happen. Limbo

Just a fun experiment to see if I can spin up a non-segwit node and transact over the radio waves

Spammers are already using nip05 :(

They can be but you have to take extra steps to do so
