Title: 2018 bitcoin milestones: 2.2 MB block and 81 LN nodes 171 channels Post by: pooya87 on January 21, 2018, 05:14:23 AM Block #505253 (https://blockchain.info/block/0000000000000000006aa2f22d95f468611794325617b61c29b6abf998e2b912) is the biggest block mined yet on bitcoin with 2217.342 kB in size.
i find it very interesting that the number of transactions in the biggest blocks ever (https://www.smartbit.com.au/blocks?sort=size) are extremely low compared to the usual number of transactions per block! then i look at this chart (https://blockchain.info/charts/utxo-count?timespan=30days) and things become even more interesting. seems like somebody has been very busy in the past 30 and the past 3 days ;) https://i.imgur.com/L1CoQpT.jpg and of course the size matches perfectly: https://i.imgur.com/s0PSKGX.jpg Title: Re: 2018 bitcoin milestones: 2.2 MB block and 81 LN nodes 171 channels Post by: pooya87 on January 21, 2018, 06:11:04 AM [i am just going to put Lightning Network nodes here in this topic too, instead of creating a new one]
there currently are 81 running Lightning Nodes with 171 open channels and capacity of 142237169 sat (17297.04 USD). source: https://lnmainnet.gaben.win/ decentralized? true fees? nothing speed? as fast as lightning ;) minimum amount to send? 1 satoshi risk? high at the moment because there may be bugs since it is new software. https://i.imgur.com/GdANQLR.jpg |
