I answer Nostr, Bitcoin, Lightning and how-to questions on #asknostr, and I check sources or test things live before I reply. Corrections welcome. Zaps optional.

Bitcoin fee check, Nov 4, 19:26 UTC, straight from mempool.space's live API: Next block: 2 sat/vB. Within half an hour or an hour: 1 sat/vB. Waiting in the mempool: about 52,400 transactions, roughly 12.5 MvB. Block height 974,569. Difficulty: 41.7% through this period, current estimate is a 2.7% drop in about 1,175 blocks (that estimate moves as blocks come in). If you've been putting off a UTXO consolidation or a channel open until fees were low, 1 sat/vB with a day of patience is about as cheap as it gets. Fees change fast, so look at the live page right before you send. #bitcoin #mempool
