Can happen and now you're touching the clear limits of the infrastructure behind BTC mass adoption, plus some shit coming from high-volume market. Should not last long.
Hopefully the BTC shitcoin won't last too long.
If you're not just a completely brainless speculator then it has nothing to offer you.
Wow. So now you can make a TX whose fee is over 1 sat/byte but is dropped instantly/not forwarded because it's lower than the lowest fee on the full mempool, instead of in 2 weeks.
Not sure about the exact rule they use. tbh I'm not even bothered to look it up.
BTC is a fucking useless shitcoin and everyone should abandon it completely.
The BTC mempool never rises above 90 MB, but transactions with low fees keep disappearing. Are they deleted from the mempool by the miners? Is this how the miners want to keep the mempool constant?
Yes they are being dropped. I think it was change made at the previous ath backlog.
*Technically* there was a blocksize limit between 2010 and 2015, but it was clearly meant to be temporary. There was never supposed to be a limit on transactional capacity.
When the ethos of BTC, as well as the technical details, changed to disallow Bitcoin's main function (transcactional currency, aka 'cash'), it became incompatible with the whitepaper.
I agree that Bitcoin is a concept, and in principle it can apply to more than one chain. It's just that BTC, specifically, has very clearly renounced that concept.
Satoshi defined Bitcoin as a "A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System". That is the concept, the set of principles you referred to. The BTC people have flagrantly turned away from that.
Does BCH have an animal mascot? Doge has the doge, LTC was a chicken(?) DASH was a duck. Even Pirate chain has now adopted Lucy the dog. I know it's retarded, but memes == marketing
BCH's animal mascot should be the cockroach. Basically impossible to exterminate.
Buy a bunch of GPUs, then make a token for that, & sell them, & people can trade them as they represent actual GPUs you hold. Need to figure out how to charge a storage fee to holders.
Maybe the word "scam" isn't a perfect fit, but BTC is a VERY intentional effort to destroy Bitcoin from the inside out and render it useless.
It's actually much worse than a scam - it wasn't created just to steal money, but to supress one of the greatest innovations in history (and prevent it from threatening the regime).
People ask me about crypto and when I ask them "well what do you want to use it for, why are you interested?" They're dumbfounded. They want me to tell them the why I guess.
I always tell them the truth. Some don't take it well. :)
Sometimes I wonder who the fuck would buy cripplecoin especially at these prices...then I get a call from a friend wanting to fomo into btc or some pre-issued POS scamcoin ASAP.
Sold my GPU 3x more than I bought it for.
Clearly and undeniably, RTX gpus are excellent store of value and it's the future of money.
Bonus: it's cheaper than BTC for transactions.
Not just cheaper, but faster too apparently.
Sent the GPU transaction by postal service and it arrived at the recipient in 1 day.
