fees have been extremely elevated for the past couple of hours due to a large number of data-carrying transactions

unfortunately it's impossible to tell what's inside these #op_returns , what's causing the influx, or when fees might return to normal levels.sorry!

does anyone else find it suspicious that Ocean has quietly accepted bribes to fill their blocks with rune spam for months and now they claim that merely revealing the illicit "#Runestone " messages they've smuggled into our blockchain is an attack on #Bitcoin since the halving, 69% of all transactions mined by Ocean have contained runestone messages.
these #Runes符文 transactions occupied over 40% of #Oceans blockspace, and paid 31.5% of their total fee revenue

New OCEAN DATUM block constructed by miner "#JustForBitcoin " 👀

This miner probably built their template using #Bitcoin Knots, as it permits small amounts of op_return data but excludes #Inscriptions .

they've figured out you can mint #BRC20 and #runes in the same transaction to save on fees.

genius.

before now, the DoD handed out auth tokens to its adversaries for free.

but following Private Lowery's paradigm-shifting insights, now they can *charge sats* for access to critical military infrastructure.

we're going to build a big beautiful firewall and make North Korean hackers pay for it 💪

fees are currently elevated because #Bitget dumped a batch of large consolidations in the #mempool at fixed fees of 1 million #sats each.

although they only use about one block's worth of space, this sets a floor of ~27.1 sats/vb to get into the next block until they clear.

the fixed 200 sat/vb rate will never not be hilarious in this fee market

New block by mystery #bitcoin miner 1P79Qfz4HvzyfSUriCk8LcphEJY3NZExHZ

They've mined 7 blocks in the last 4 months, and never spent a single #satoshi of the rewards.

This mystery miner is still going strong, with a surge of luck and/or hashrate in recent days.

They've mined at least 16 blocks so far, earning and hodling just shy of 60 BTC in rewards.

⚠️ ~$7K stolen mid-flight from an exchange withdrawal to what seems like a low-entropy or compromised address. Bots sniped the funds within milliseconds, triggering an #RBF fee war that burned the entire balance to miners.
Possible causes?

#SecPool just mined a strange block🤔totally empty, but also the coinbase scriptsig shows "AjygqEUdE8LLYbnAq2VsS3D39iCpmdHyhGEeg5Hwpump" in place of their usual "Mined by SecPool" tag.

This is a contract for a #pumpfun token on #solana thats #BTCAI
