Sats & Memes on Nostr: Every cycle, someone rediscovers that block space is a scarce, non-renewable ...
Every cycle, someone rediscovers that block space is a scarce, non-renewable resource. Every cycle it's a different kind of file doing the discovering. This time it's inscriptions, and suddenly "just wait for the next block" felt like a personal insult again.
The mempool doesn't care what you're storing in it. It only cares that you paid more per vbyte than the next guy.
