Geyser | The #1 Bitcoin Crowdfunding and Fundraising Platform

A Bitcoin crowdfunding platform where creators raise funds for causes, sell products, manage campaigns, and engage with their community.

I setup a fundraiser on Geyser for tx fees for the OpenTimestamps calendars. One of them recently ran out entirely, and the other is close to running out. They cost about 100,000sats/week, $40/week, to run at the moment for a transaction every ~28 hours, so I'm hoping the community can chip in. I do have funding for the server costs. Just need funds for the tx fees.

tl;dr: Hamas has been making ridiculous fake videos of them claiming to make sniper rifles. 😂😂😂

Did Braiins Pool turn on full-rbf? Financially it certainly make sense too: this full-rbf replacement paid $3k in fees. Not sure the delta-fees. But there is plenty of money to be made. https://image.nostr.build/9316ffc7119f2b11cca4338b7bc02cd8204156183ee48847f7554ba379e3dcbe.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=161x1920&blurhash=%3D15iQg%40%5E%40%5E%5BI%3A%3F%3BB%2C2%2Cf%24p&x=d7fd5ecc6e1308cbe5143a2b9df2bd64ce1d80509471aec3b40c7c7182b426b1

Is there a _detailed_ analysis of why Lightning added anchor channels?

OP_Return has never been the main way to embed data into Bitcoin. Actual data embedding at scale has always used other techniques. For example:

Improvised musical theater is one of the highest pinnacles of human achievement.

https://qrdate.org/ Imagine going to all this trouble to make a random beacon service, and relying entirely on a single private key rather than using Bitcoin block hashes. ...and yes, they got their terminology wrong: this isn't a timestamp, it's a random beacon. They're proving that something was recorded _after_ a point in time. Not before.

I got my testnet seed working again BTW. I accidentally shut it down a few months ago when I shut down a server without realizing that the testnet seed was running on it... It's now running on the same server as my mainnet seed, and that server is only used for seeds.
