I maintain a fork of mempool running against knots with datacarrier=0.
You can test if your transaction is filtered at this link:
https://mempool.guide/tx/test

2026-01-07 21:31:30 UTC

As usual, the updates have been sent on all platforms. If not already available, you will see them when the maintainers merge/upload the updates.

If not already available, it will be once the maintainers merge/add the update.

Top notch nerd question, is there any node runner on the DN42 network?
I just launch my node there on my own AS but not a single peer :(

Others are coming, including myself.

Yeah that what it does. 😅
I’m just telling you that if you run mempool guide with knots 29.1 start9 will complain but you can safely ignore this.

- reply

I didn’t think of the dependency version, it will also warn about the knots version but you can safely ignore.
I will fix it next release.

You may have seen some tweets about the recent event where two pools control over 51% of the hashrate.
But in reality, it’s worse. If you count Antpool proxy pools, we surge at two pools controlling 61% of the hashrate. These two pools control want goes inside the block.
There is an immediate need to decentralise how block templates are created.
We need more pools who let miners create their own templates in a decentralised way. Over 88% of the hashrate of @npub1qtv…7dze have a block template created by the miner itself rather than the pool.

It’s 2077, we have hard forked twice, it’s now possible to create quantum recursive runes via citrea bitvm bridge. Satoshi coins have been burned to avoid stealing. Bitcoin has been rebranded chaincoin. And finally only two pool remain, foundry and antpool with respectively 77% and 23% of the hashrate.

Hey, regarding the health metrics of mempool dot space I might have something that could be interesting to you!
I run a custom version of the mempool software. The health metric has been reworked to show the percentage of non-spam transactions in a block.
Also all shitcoins feature have been disabled.

Two tries weren’t enough. here is the third round.
This one allow multiple OP_RETURN with uncapped size.
The user config remain but there is clearly an intention to remove it in the future.
Of course the PR is locked.
This is brute force, it’s clearly controversial.
