Good job. Thank you for your contribution to the network, making it more decentralized and stable, but what is the benefit that others may gain from tracking your full-node wallet?
Is there any benefit to this data or can others benefit from it?
Can you provide more useful statistics?
It may be good if you add Electrum server and LN node.

  • Have fresh view every day on network onchain fees - quick glance and you can know if it's affordable to send with 1sat/vbyte or maybe you should send with 10sat/vbyte
  • Have view on network difficulty & hashrate
  • See list of all soft forks activated and not yet activated (within Bitcoin Core project of course)

I am open to add more features.

1. The user will receive an outdated data that will be updated every 6 hours which may be misleading or incorrect because the fees can change within an hour or two.
For example, it would have been possible to send it using 1sat / vbyte (6 hours ago), after which this price would not be appropriate.

2. It's good but the average user will not take advantage of that data.
3. The average user does not notice soft forks, its use of a wallet like electrun may be sufficient.

overall, it is good but I hope to add more features.
