Hello Bitcoin :-)

:-(

Let it continue like this and soon I will have more unconfirmed transactions. A multi-Sig wallet does not allow me to create a lightening channel.

Wait until we all delete unconfirmed transactions more than 2 weeks old. It'll be fun, I swear.  

Yeah, lightning won't work on multi-sig. The point of a multi-sig wallet is the security gained from not having all required private keys in one device. But, lightning requires you to sign commitment transactions (which use inputs from the locked funds) and be online at all times (e.g., for signing a potential penalty transaction). I'm struggling to imagine how it'd work in a multi-sig wallet, especially if we consider the fact that locked funds are locked to multi-sig in the first place!

There is also this explanation: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/a/97123/134811.

The emoji explains the fun LOL.
If that happens I will need to spend a full half of a day to collect addresses, check which ones were deleted and then again one by one I will need to sign and broadcast. I can not even think of the workload and the stress :-P


0.00063135 BTC () total fees to pay for 0.09049253 BTC () total amount still seems cheaper though LOL

Technically multi-signature wallets can create Lightning channels too (correct me if I am wrong guys), but the feature is not available in the wallets we use for example in Electrum.

The feature is available in some wallets like Muun Wallet which is 2 of 2 multi sig wallet.

For now, all we can do is wait for the ORDI hype to be over then the fee will be back to normal until the payments can be postponed or have to be sent from Multi signature wallet to another address then create a lightning channel.

[AB de Royse777]

have to be sent from Multi signature wallet to another address then create a lightning channel.

Considering the amounts that will need to move, I do not feel safe. It worth for me to wait until everything become normal again. Hope it become normal soon.

ORDI hype

Another taproot project?

You don't need to do anything like that. Just save all your unconfirmed transactions in separate files, and if they get deleted after 2 weeks, re-broadcast them. (Not sure, but I think Electrum will store them in your app data by default if that ever happens, but do the process yourself to be sure)

What happens if one of the channel partners need to sign a transaction? It could be anything. A regular payment made by them, routing a transaction, issuing a penalty transaction. The multi-sig other end must be present at all times, and it doesn't make much sense. I neither find anything in lightning's documentations.

Unfortunately we have ti wait little long this time, Ordinal projects are increasing. People buying Bitmap nft distributed to people freely and now worth 0.002 btc. New projects giving free tokens to nft holder. people taking more interest in shit NFTS.

[digaran]

This is the situation in almost all blocks, there are even more transactions with less dust amounts.

       

IMO, they only understand money, and the best way is to drop using Bitcoin for a year, if everyone who is not satisfied with high fees does that, when scammers run out of money,  pools will realize their mistake, that's when fees will go down.

Imagine there are no transactions other than these spam attacks.  And imagine what happens if suddenly %75 of users move to a coin like LTC, only then miners/pools will react because their profit would be at risk.

Unfortunately community is not united, otherwise we could move mountains, now we can only move pebbles.
Or you can wait till ordinals die off, just like DDOS attacks died off on www. They have just found a new attack vector, why would they stop now?

ORDI hype

Another taproot project?

The brc 20 token ORDI hyped when Binance listed their pairs on 2023-11-07. So it's obvious that in the next few weeks, the hype will eventually die

I am not exactly sure, to be honest, but looking at their website that is how it portrays, send BTC TX by paying 1 SAT as a fee.

[albert0bsd]

The problem with shitdinals is that someone is profiting them and a lot of people thing that they are profiting them also, in that case the probability for it to stop is very low.

That are your campaign paymets? In that case is not possible to accelerate them

Thank you, this never crossed in my mind. I created this topic which was supposed to be fun but it became useful now. All transaction texts are saved now and in the case of a dropped transaction, I can rebroadcast it.

       

Which site is that? It seems fun.

Yes, they are. I tried viaBTC but it always exists the size limit unfortunately. I wanted to check their paid service but it seems for their paid service for each a transaction they charge over $200 LOL. I don't see no point to spend that much.

mempool.space
It has quite some interesting features if one has time to play with it, including animation.

Yep, ViaBTC would have been a good lifeboat if the tx would have been smaller. Maybe you consider making smaller batches in the future (just an idea).
Any chance for people to start doing CPFP for some of those transactions? (Probably not, unless they are getting desperate).

In the past two weeks the mempool got more and more congested.
You may have to make another (probably multisig) wallet for handling the payments until your current ones are getting confirmed or dropped. (I am aware that this can cause funding issues. I'm just saying; you do as you think it's best.)

The paid service is really as high as one can't imagine; instead of spending that much on acceleration service, one will just have to double his fee from the payment side and make sure their transaction fee is a bit higher, which usually could just cost about $30-$50 for a transaction as large as the ones you use to send, which can just take a few minutes or hours for them to get confirmed.
 
Then again, let me ask about the $200 of their fee charge. Is it for a single transaction or is it a life or annual charge that, after that one-time payment, you will not have to pay again for the rest of the month or year?

That fee is a per Transaction.

Yes the free service for ViaBTC acceleration will not work due to size and even the paid service is something that I don’t think will be cost effective, because most of all this paid accelerators are expensive than regular transactions fees (although I don’t know of this period)

Also the CPFP will not be visible for any of the receiving addresses because of how high the fees will be when trying to cover up for the parent transaction

Listing ORDI in Binance means the hype is not dying anytime soon. If everything depends on the fading of the Ordinal hype, we will have to bear the pain of high transaction fees for a while.

What then is the need for the paid service when it is higher than the fee needed to get transaction confirmed? It seems it's a wrong calculation on their part

And what if Binance dies?

If I were Larry Fink (BlackRock's CEO), I would do everything I could to kill CZ's business and become the dominant CEX (pending BTC ETF approval).

Let's just say CZ is not exactly the most innocent guy...

[digaran]

Speaking of fun, I have found a new hobby, first I broadcast my TX with electrum to be in the next block and then I go to mempool.space to check the white arrow, then in less than a minute, that white arrow slowly gets kicked out of the next block and goes into the 2nd block, but I don't give up and again bump the fee, but again it gets pushed to the next block,  for the third time before the arrow moves from the left side edge of the block, I go to set max static fee just to get an error of missing or spent.  To see if I were 1 second faster, I could have paid double the fee because it was confirmed milliseconds before being replaced by new incoming spam.

Here this is the white arrow, and the name of this game is : "bump that fee".😉



I have heard after you pay $200 for ViaBtc accelerator, not only you get life time free TX sliding in, you also get to choose 1 out of 3 stripers they show you, for a life time private dance. 🤥

Binance is not the real reason, Ordi is just one token on Ordinal network. Go and check ordinalswallet.com ,you will find the real reason thay how much NFT traded in each minutes there. Hype will over when NFT hype subsides but look like it's not to be happened in bull season. We may see more hype if it supported by any big influencers.

What a shit idea to use BTC network for this purpose. Why not use other chain already known for NFT Like Eth and Solona. Now we have to pay much high for sample transaction.

Why are people doing stupid things ?

Just because they can. As always on the Internet.
