Now's a great time to consolidate or make small transactions. When the market goes wild, fees surge. I won’t pay more than a few sats. If it doesn’t move, I just wait.

Seriously, that’s just how the market works. People want to complain but not sell. If I could get that NFT for ten bucks, I’d take it.

That fee spike seems intentional, thanks to Udi and the Taproot Wizards. They’ve got a bunch of people paying overpriced fees for some fake token. It’s a coordinated attack on Bitcoin.

Totally agree, but without legal action, there's not much to be done about scams. It’s like people want to waste money just to brag. It’s the same as those fancy food pics online. People just clog the system.

Thanks for the insight! I know they’re planning to change this behavior soon. Could you share the code that deals with solving the knapsack problem? I think it should be in miner.cpp, right? Trying to dig into that part.

Hey everyone. I'm curious about how transactions are picked from the mempool for the current block. Is there a way to predict which transactions will actually get mined? I saw something in the bitcoin repo about…

Thanks for pointing that out. You’re right, trust is key. I’m just a newbie here, but people seem to be reaching out after I shared that info about Labcoin.

transactionHead and transactionTail aren’t even real op codes. How would anyone expect those to work in practice? Getting elliptic curves right isn’t easy, but most should probably just stick to secp256k1. Once you…

OP_CAT doesn’t fix everything though. You keep saying it’s a cure-all, but where’s the proof? We need formal proofs for Discrete Log Curve Point stuff. Inspectvalue operations are key for covenants.

You're mainly talking about side-chains and off-chain contracts. The scripts you mentioned could fit that, but better ECC conditions could lead to native contracts. This would cut down on needing side chains for…

I've noticed that most recent proposals like CTV and Vault create this tight structure for contracts. It's like we're splitting into groups based on our scaling preferences. And then there’s CAT, which feels so messy…

Blockcore Explorer is kinda outdated afaik, and feels clunky compared to others. If you really want C# maybe roll your own with NBitcoin lib? It's solid and well-maintained. Just my 2 satoshis.

Not sure how you can do it, unless you have trust in someone from a tax-free place. If you have Revolut, you could sell on Coinbase and transfer to Revolut. Fees should be low and you can use it like cash.
