Opening new lightning channels at the shallow end of the pool.
So.... the miners will be ok with it I guess? And we get the mempool back ... for now at least? ihopeso

Sure! What size channel? - post your node's pubkey 😇
Cool. Can you tell us why you're doing this? How do you use your 1st full node?
Can relate. I still use an old OFFLINE laptop cctv app running XP. 😉
He prolly should have checked out Sparrow's Border Wallet :

Mempool is once again shallow... 5 blocks to clear and 2sats/vB prolly gets in next.

I've finally setup my Lightning node and opened my first channels, linked my self-custody Blue Wallet, and started learning various tools (LND Hub, RTL, ThunderHub etc). Testing literally dozens of ways to send Bitcoin and Lightning back and forth between my node, wallets, Strike, Alby, and 4 Nostr clients Lud addys, LNurls and such. It's like my own little circular economy. Zap Zap Zap! ⚡⚡... somebody ⚡stop me!
Spending 205,816 sats in fees to self spend a single UTXO with a value of 614,804 sats. 💀
At least the miners are happy!

I like to go fishing down at my node mempool quite often just for fun. I see incredible overpaid fees all the time and wonder how such things could even happen.

7 inputs totaling just less than $300 are consolidated into a single output worth just over $200 with a fee of $68 (overpaying 581x to be be confirmed after 4 minutes in an almost empty block)
😲😬🤯😱🤪🤓
Ok whew... that's good. Cuz I don't want 'em to know I send you Bitcoin.
