I'm at a huge music festival in Kyiv, and they just auctioned off the back fin of a downed Russian shahed drone to a military charity. Winning bid was the equivalent of $1700 USD. Probably enough money for the military unit to kill something like 0.1 more Russians. 😂 image There's charity auctions for every single act. I wouldn't be surprised if this one event leads to the deaths of a dozen Russians from that alone. The event is held at a mall because they need a space big enough to serve as an air raid shelter. In this case their underground parking lot: ...and or course, in the parking lot a dozen different military units have booths for both donations and recruiting. Hard to say. But if another thousand Russians are killed from that effort I wouldn't be surprised. Not bad for an event with a turnout of something like 5000 people.

😂😂😂 At the beginning of this guy's set he shouted "DURING THIS SET A COMMUNIST [Russian] WILL DIE!” Half of the festival had to be cancelled due to an air raid on Kyiv, so not surprising the audience cheered to that. The whole event was a fundraiser to buy more drones for the military of course. image

image Good to see this finally getting some mass media attention. Russia's widescale hunting of Ukrainians civilians with drones is truly evil. You have literally thousands of drone operators who have personally seen unarmed Ukrainian civilians on their camera displays, and dropped grenades on them for the express purpose of killing off a population so they can steal the land. And they know exactly what they're doing. Hell, they were disappointed when they missed – Russia uses this as a way to train new operators. Russian culture needs to be exterminated.

New Libre Relay Geyser fund goal: reducing the minimum relay fee limits. Both minrelayfee and the incremental relay fee (for RBF). The Bitcoin price (and value) and more than 10x'd since these limits were set. Also, block reward has decreased, which in theory reduces the cost of stale blocks, and thus the minimum value per byte of transaction data. Pragmatically speaking, miners are mining sub-1sat/vB txs and RBF increments. So if we relay them, they will get mined.
