- Its the one I use

- Its how Bitcoin was meant to be implemented

- The other one has a bunch of arbitrary stuff in it

Who am i?

exactly. Complexity increases the attack surface. Might be a way to do it right, but hell if i know

Probably more difficult to compensate node runners since the task is so much easier (relatively). Might be a way to game it

Bitcoin Knots node count up 50% in last month

yeah same here - glad I checked though. It probably kicked in when blocks started filling a few years in.

I just had to spot check a few block heights and it actually too a ways out before there weren't like 100 empty blocks in a row

while we're all talking about Bitcoin Core Relay settings, can we fight about drop the default fee from 1 sat/vbtye to something like 0.1 sat/vbyte?

Its probably a DoS protection so only txns with non-negligible fees are validated, but that was likely set way back when 1 sat/vbtye was literally nothing.

A free market of fees would often have fees dip below 1 sat/vbyte when mempools are close to clearing if not for the paternal relay policies.

Why pay 1 sat/vbtye when 0.5 sat/vbtye do trick?

vibe-coded a chromium plugin to change Ethereum spelling to Etherium anywhere on my browser. Today is gonna be a good day

Also usually true for sending onchain out of the node, but I can’t help but notice it’s a small inconvenience to always have to check a fuller mempool just to verify it won’t actually take a week or more.

So far the discrepancy between my two nodes just has about a 15-20% different in the min fee for the next block but it’s possible that may delta surge irregularly in the future

One downside with using knots on my lightning node is that it slightly underestimates the current fee rates…

Good thing I always set them manually anyway. Any way to accept all txns into the knots mempool but just not broadcast all of them?

Worth it to support node diversity though

But if you don’t fall asleep by 40min, then you’ve already wasted 1 hr trying to get a light nap.

No solutions only groggy tradeoffs

As someone who runs 3, I agree. However I’m not sure if any of mine are discoverable or if they are by default - I hope there are many stealth nodes

my power naps always turn into now-the-day-is-gone-and-you-are-powerless naps

The memes in my phone’s save folder would lose me my job

Well if you weren’t consistently dogged by an adversary bent on stealing from you to enrich themselves, you may spend less of your money on consumables and actually accumulate power

Why does leaving behind $20 of eggs in a shopping cart hurt so bad?

Everyone likes blue raspberry flavor, but I don’t know anyone who actually eats them

I’d just steal a different coin and yeah, no one would know lol - price wouldn’t crash

So is blaming seed oils, food dyes or other “poisons”. Yeah ok, but that’s not keeping you at 300 lbs.

It’s so simple to not be fat. Blaming anything but yourself and lack of discipline is shameful.

Not all fat people lack discipline either - maybe not being fat just isn’t their goal right now. That’s fine - do what you want. Just be honest that you’re letting it happen.

I think today is a good friday

To be fair to the retards,
