noticed there has been a bunch of 546 sat txs surrounding this address lately 1HckjUpRGcrrRAtFaaCAUaGjsPx9oYmLaZ
any idea if it has anything to do with comb? what other reason would there be for specifically so many 546 sat tx's
looks like the 90mb bomb from a few days ago also had something to do with 546 sat tx's (if not mistaken)
I saw that but it's not to a bc1 address though? and a lot of exchanges send those small txs anyway to consolidate dust wallets. Binance did that a few days ago which is why the mempool spiked as it did, but yeah it was strange timing.
I think that's what the dev meant by it's only a matter of them sending to the Comb lottery first (in future), if Comb becomes popular then they have nothing to lose by doing so and if the coin is valuable then they stand to gain by claiming the block reward, as well as it creating a market for fees and everything else. It would make sense if the developer was a miner or affiliated with them or something, I personally don't believe it's just one person and a random 'interesting' project. Whoever released that whitepaper isn't just some random, in my opinion. But we will probably never know
actually the bc1 tx is only for mining burn tip, meaning only when attempting to claim. but in the wallet when you want to send the comb somewhere, (and im assuming liquidity stacks as well) the tx's it asks you to send the 546 sats to fund for transfers ARE NOT BC1 addresses.
so its VERY probable that it has something to do with comb, it would make no other sense for SOOO many 546sat txs surrounding one specific address. or even generally 546sat specifically.
i agree on the idea that exchange has nothing to lose by adding this, and most likely would have such ideas since they are at the advantage for claiming.
what im curious about is if we can see when was the FIRST real claim of comb, can we trace it to AFTER the release of the wallet? if so then its fair game. but if by anychance there was ACTUAL comb claims BEFORE the release, then that would make the project lose credibility.
another interesting point is how under the table this whole project is at the moment. seems like there is not much reason to really go out and make it public, as that would DRAMATICALLY increase the competition. it would be way more advantageous to keep this more under the radar for the time being, to accumulate more while less competition and higher rewards.
trulying hoping that the release of the wallet was the first known claims and everything is honest. in that case, im predicting a quiet under the radar accumulation time, and then possibly more attention as more development is created.
ofcourse nobody knows and it could be nothing happens at all.
non the less there is potential for something great here (aslong as the release was completely honest and NO claims before the wallet release/ann thread)
if anyone has any ideas on how to help the project in the future, we can put our minds together and help out if needs be. though for now it seems to accumulate for cheap while we can is a better strategy, because if this actually adopts it will be VERY competitive and can easily be too expensive for any regular user to even attempt claiming.
when miners start to claim, it will be impossible for anyone other then the miners to claim. at that point the ONLY way you can get comb is buying from miners or previous other comb holders.
for now, anyone that is willing to spend 1-2$ can easily attempt and even successfully claim several times a day.
its most easy to claim when blocks are being found faster, as hashrate increases and difficulty poses to go up, blocks are being found faster, and not as many bc1 new outputs are even sent to the network, making cheap claims very possibly.
some of my cheapest claims are as low as 25sat/byte with total of under 6ksats for the total tx.
