At first I thought the project was cool, although I noticed a lot of folks hated the ideas of btc having NFTs. I now don't like it as much seeing as it could lead to increasing volatility due to the higher fees these are ushering in. Just keep the NFTs on ETH, that was working out fine no need to muddy up the waters for BTC IMO
LN cannot handle regular peoples bitcoin transaction value. it fails with amounts less than a months wage. plus there are many ways partners and routing path participants can steal and use up peoples value. it just doesnt do what bitcoin does so people dont use it apart from the same shameless promoters that try to talk about it all day
i think the problem is some people have "lightning network" as a built in copy/paste macro on their computer. anytime someone has a complaint or issue with bitcoin, they just hit that macro key. glad to see someone helping them get their macro key fixed. so it doesn't just spit out the same overused phrase again and again...
it does feel like that. but its actually kiss ass hoping for a pay day. people with sig campaigns and promoters are paid to post crap. they end up saying crap to cause drama so they can reply in "relevant" replies and get more post counts up. they dont care about content they just care about post count
after all if they cant cause any controversy/debate to talk about they cant talk as much. because of their narrow minded opinion/knowledge
you notice its the same group of people not wanting bitcoin fixed. telling fullnoders to deactivate features and not be full noders. not wanting bitcoin exploits fixed, wanting fee's to rise where actual bitcoiners stop spending.. all to advertised some other network/scheme which these promoters are financially motivated to mention/post about
the whole sounding like each other is just bad training on their part. being dumb and docile to just reiterate what they heard without thinking about if it actually means anything

Ser, with all due respect, that won't solve the problem. Because increasing the block size limit will just make the attack vector through Ordinals bigger. You know what they will do? Inscribe high definition videos of their dicks and doing farts, instead of just static dick pics and fart sounds.
Good point. It would only benefit the attacker most by giving it more room to spam the network with Ordinals inscriptions. I don't think high fees will last for long, especially when spammers will lose more money than what they'll earn in the long run. Miners will enjoy the profits albeit for a short period of time.
Considering that the LN is far from being a perfect solution for scaling Bitcoin, our only choice would be to switch to an altcoin with lower fees for complete peace of mind. Let's all hope this nightmare ends soon, so Bitcoin can get back to business. Just my opinion
But there is still hope...
that particular thing is not a fix. thats just a zero-confirm tx relay filter. it doesnt stop ordinal scum from their current process of just pushtx their zero confirms directly to mining pools and evading he network relay of pre-confirm
a real fix is to set rules for opcodes where contents of witness that use opcodes need to actually fit the rules. EG signatures that actually associate and validate to the spending inputs
whereby if blocks put tx with random data that does not fit rules get their blocks rejected. thus they stop putting random crap tx into their blocks
But there is still hope...
Or the Lightning Network for those people like us who want to use Bitcoin.
you do realise that more individuals are avoiding lightning and instead using other subnetworks that peg to bitcoin for there transactions already
realise many have used lightning for a bit and realised its flaws and moved on.
the lightning network has less liquidity than other subnetworks bridges. plus most of the liquidity on lightning is locked as reserves of services rather than individuals..

Remember when Bitcoin could still be used to pay and be paid with? Those were the days...
I'm afraid those days are over. With Bitcoin getting spammed like crazy with Ordinals transactions, fees will only get worse over time. Not even the LN will do any help (it requires an on-chain TX to open/close a channel, after all). Either the majortiy pays a low fee, or developers increase on-chain TX capacity to solve this dilemma.

Until then, we'll have no choice but to pay a high fee for each BTC transaction. There always the option of using an alternative cryptocurrency with low fees such as LTC and TRX. The NFT hype won't last forever, so BTC network fees should decline sooner or later. Just my opinion

individual users with home asics dont have a say in which transactions are added so its not miners demands. its pool manager greed/effect
Miners' demands are analogous to the profit. It really doesn't hold water for a pool manager to not want profit, so he sort of follows what miners want as well. miners 'wants' dont come into it
for decade most pools just gave shares of the block reward to miners(not fees).. and miners then demand value on the spot market by refusing to sell at less than their cost.. miners desires come from the spot market speculation. not from choosing transactions.. asics do not choose the transactions!
pool managers kept the fee total, pool managers choose the transactions
thus pool managers choose the transactions and take the fee's and miners have nothing to do with transaction choosing

Because he can't. There is no manner to prevent Ordinals without forking yourself off the Bitcoin network, and setting up a censorship susceptible copy. You can however prevent them from entering your mempool, which can already be done with a few filters on Core. That is acceptable, but it's not prevention. Ordinal users can still broadcast them to miners, and at that point it would only make your node's fee rates be inaccurate. Remember when Bitcoin could still be used to pay and be paid with? Those were the days...

But that's the "problem" with Ordinals, some of those being built, and communities formed, might be incentived to keep "spamming" the blockchain because some users found out that dick pics/fart sounds are valuable, and they could make profit from them. It's not a real problem by itself, but it's definitely an inconvenience for users who want to use Bitcoin for financial transactions.
For a user who sends a dick pics or fart sound hoping to make a profit, this is also a financial transaction. And he paid the current actual price for its inclusion in the blockchain. This use case of the bitcoin network seems unusual to you, but this does not make it wrong. Don't worry, bitcoin has already proven itself anti-fragile enough not to break at the sound of a fart.
It doesn't change the fact that it has become very inconvenient for the rest of the participants. Because they merely wanted to make a profit? Blockstream's Liquid Network is better for what they're trying to do because it will give them lower fees, and a higher transaction throughput. More savings = more profit.
But it's not their fault, they simply don't know. I believe Blockstream should start marketing and let developers and users know that they can also build their network of dick pics in Liquid. It's probably the same situation when developers built Ethereum off-chain layers which has seen increased usage.
I think it is useless to appeal to the voice of reason when there are an abnormally large number of idiots in the market (in the sense of non-professional players). This seems to be a sure sign that we are now in the vicinity of the local maximum of the bitcoin market price and a crushing collapse will soon follow. Please do not take this as investment advice.
The good news is that after the crash, fee prices will be low again, without any soft fork.
It's not an appeal. It's merely economics and market efficiency. It's either they run out of money first before finding better solutions, or find the solution before they run out of money. Because from a technical standpoint, "BRC-20" is a stupid solution to having "fungible tokens". Use Liquid, or Counterparty.
Also how about sheer financial incentive? Right now there are blocks being mined with fee rewards per block that are higher than the 6.25 fixed block reward. While I doubt it's sustainable long-term
those fee's are not really from that many independent individuals . they are the same groups as the mining pool managers. basically making high fee's to pay themselves back.. thus not much loss is incurred when producing high fee transactions becasue they are the sender and receiver of fee's
Not sure I follow your point here. It seems that most of the high transaction fees are from "BRC20" inscriptions

the 'first sat' spam (ordinal v1) caused fee mania in february
the memes spam (ordinal v2) took up alot of data and fee mania in march
the brc json (ordinal v3) spam is only about 60bytes, yet caused fee mania in april due to just alot of tx's, not alot of content
The BRC-MEME is confusing. How do users validate their BRC-20 token balance? Get information from an off-chain indexer, a third party, that's running the software that read and interpret the data? Merely running a Bitcoin node won't do it?
Or what if I want to buy 100 BRC-20 tokens but the available amounts are 10, 50, 200, 500? It's a very laughable system.

most of the truly stupidly high tx fee's are transactions that begin and end back with pools with not much taint hopping inbetween to suggest its random individuals using bitcoin normally

The idea is interesting, but I do not quite understand the logic. Even if some dishonest mining pool manager artificially inflates the price of transactions, he has no guarantees that it is his pool that will catch the next block, which means there is a fairly high probability that his overpriced commission will go to another pool and he will simply lose his money. Or am I not understanding something?
first of all a pool manager does not need to pre-relay his zero confirm tx to the network. he can just make a tx and keep it for his own block template. and if the next block is not solved by him he just puts the same unbroadcast tx into the next template.. thus other pools dont steal the tx and take the fee
second of all there are a few pools doing this so they are collaborating.. its not like its just one pool spamming fee's, they all suddenly want to push fee's up to extremes. which for the last decade they did not show any great greed to want to resort to these tactics.. but all of a sudden now they are in greed season. and no
individual users with home asics dont have a say in which transactions are added so its not miners demands. its pool manager greed/effect
thirdly some are broadcasting transactions pre confirm to each other.. or the spammers are sponsoring several pools and whomever gets added first wins.. so i doubt they care much about losing some tx to some other pool. after all if the main top pools are doing it they end up passing each other funds so it ends up equalling out... and are probably being funded by idiot a-holes to spam the network
In general, the problem of malicious cooperation of managers of large pools is quite serious. It seems that Satoshi believed that malicious cooperation was not profitable because they were too financially interested in the overall success of bitcoin as a commercial enterprise to deliberately try to discredit it. But I believe that this is not a strong enough argument, because pool owners can receive material or non-material incentives from third parties that may outweigh their possible losses from actions aimed at discrediting Bitcoin.

Really? Are you exhausted? Then brace yourself:
Ordisrespector
We can run this fork and kick the spam out of our nodes.
Well, do it if you can - why scream then?Ordisrespector

Now go organize your "spam rights" protests... Everyone here clearly knows who you defend here, and who you are against. And your lame fw.
In case you don't get it, we don't care about the tx fee, we care about NOT bitcoin tx fees polluting Bitcoin. Go take your memes and uber trash elsewhere.
I don’t understand why I should go somewhere and organize something if I am quite satisfied with the current state of affairs. I'm not into memes, NFTs and other pederastic shit, I'm only advocating the right of idiots to freely fuck their money as long as it doesn't violate the rules of consensus. In case you don't get it, we don't care about the tx fee, we care about NOT bitcoin tx fees polluting Bitcoin. Go take your memes and uber trash elsewhere.

Keep focused people, the naysayers are reveling themselves for what they are and what they support. Anyone defending the spam is against Bitcoin.
Please try to be more tolerant of confirmed transactions with fees above your personal comfort level. You're pretty aggressive and obsessive about showing some sort of transactional racism, and it's exhausting.
So according to Dune analytics, 60% of the current "transactions" are brc-20. That's only part of the spam...

the 'first sat' spam (ordinal v1) caused fee mania in february
the memes spam (ordinal v2) took up alot of data and fee mania in march
the brc json (ordinal v3) spam is only about 60bytes, yet caused fee mania in april due to just alot of tx's, not alot of content
then there was a bit of no sat ordinal counter attack spam in first week of may
so no its not the brc crap
whats happening now is just plain paying huge fee for no reason
heck while writing this i checked the latest block and first tx was this

paying over 1000sats/byte for a simple 1in-2 out with no added bloat data.
i checked this morning too and the same thing. wasting a utxo spend just to cause fee mania
I understand the logic of what you are saying of mining pools creating high transaction fees and effectively getting most their fee cost back, but otherwise there are hundreds if not thousands of individuals inscribing on Bitcoin right now.
actually you are wrong here tooif it was truly thousands of individuals. then the meme army of bloat would not have just dropped to near zero in the same few days. because random people not connected dont collaborate to a mandate
however when its just a couple idiots that give up. then you notice when they give up
so yep when the memes stopped and pretty much over night the next version of spam started at the same time. you know its the same small group of idiots
