Anyone know what was the highest bitcoin fee in sat/vbytes for medium priority in mempool that occurred in the past? I'm asking to guage if 40 sat /vbytes is high.

In Amethyst, the relay section shows many icons and some trigger on and off. I could not find documentation about it. What do they all mean?

#[0] I was wondering if you hash images you host to find duplicates and reference them to a single copy? Saves a ton of space.

If you want Bitcoin to succeed, think about running a full node. With every new node the network becomes more decentralized and secure. You can run a full node at hone with an old computer that you leave running 24h/7. This site is a directory of those nodes

Bitnodes

Bitnodes estimates the size of the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network by finding all of its reachable and unreachable nodes.

You are an Umbrel Bitcoin node user and you want to help citizens in countries blocking Internet content? Install the Tor Snowflake add on. It's ready to help fight censorship right away.

If you have 10$ to spare each months and are a Tor user, you should definitely run a tor relay node to help speed up the network. To setup your relay on Ubuntu (Linux) I followed this blog:

I just had the worst fucking experience in my life with Intuit Turbotax online. Fuck them and their lobbying.
