Did you bag any wild turkeys.

My Father-in-law liked hunting them.

No, I didn't get a shot...my brother was with me and he got one on Saturday which was Spring Gobbler opening day for Virginia.  It was lots of fun to be out in nature for the weekend.

Yay for the random block confirm!

Our 461074 block, although it was a ~full block, it was also quite small transaction fees 0.24BTC, 1 min 55sec, but not a lot of good fee transactions available.

Kano, this seems like the new norm, where there's a good chance another miner will confirm our zero fee transaction for mature block payouts. Has this ever happened before that you can remember, besides the one from a week ago?

yet 21.co persists with a stupid suggestion that we suppose to pay 140sat/byte.
BS, 22 sat/byte should be fine right now if you can wait 2-3hr. Slightly higher and it confirms almost immediately.
A couple of days ago, though, 24 sat/byte was not picked up by anyone, including kano-san.
Why not? You pay zero tx cost from the pool (which i totally support, BTW), but don't include 24 sat/byte?
Picky-picky  .

Yes it's happened before, rarely, but I don't keep track of it.
I guess you'd have to check your payouts vs our blocks.

I just use 13.1 Core with minor changes - blame core?
Though I'd guess the fact that the blocks are usually full is the reason.

Our (zero fee) transaction I force in - and I'm not gonna do that for anything else, and not stop doing it for us.

yeah, i indicated support for this in Edit.

Meanwhile, since people are throwing random ideas out there, I did suggest a change many years ago that would 'logically' increase the block size by a number of times
