I'm reading everywhere about them, how they drive up fees, how they are minted in blocks, but I don't understand what are they actually, own chains of transactions or just individual inscriptions, the FAQ from some sites are just to complicated for me nowhere is there some information on those without much technicalities involved for the simple bitcoin user to get an idea?
I saw this site mentioned by a legendary user:
https://ordiscan.com/runesWhat does this even mean?
- There are 41 888 Runes each like an altcoin or a second layer?
- What means minting, not mintable, if it's minting it means one tx for each new mint?
- When these are transferred, it's again a transfer for each rune from one address to another?
Going here, what is now trending according to them:
https://ordiscan.com/rune/UNCOMMONGOODSMint status Minting
Time limit 208,744 blocks until end
Block 840,000
Block 1,050,000
This thing will mint for 4 years runes continuously like a bot? I stopped scrolling because it seems like hundred over hundreds of transactions!
Again avalanche of questions but I don't understand how these things work at all other than the fact that I need to pay 30 times more on my consolidations because of them!
