I had 99 problems, so I hashed them into 1.
Hash the planet.
@kristovatlas If a miner solves a block before they can process the last block and remove those txs from their mempool, for one.
@kristovatlas Are you saying the F2Pool -> AntPool is recurring? Empty blocks still happen fairly regularly.
@dlogemann @kristovatlas @TradeBlock certainly possible, or their node might have crashed at some point and lost the mempool.
@JonathanVaage I have heard a few whispers about “mempool sharing” as a scalability concept but can’t find any info on it.
@JonathanVaage No need for consensus, though it’s helpful to know the outstanding txs to gauge block contention.
@dlogemann @kristovatlas It seems @TradeBlock lost / pruned a few
Current mempool size (unconfirmed transactions) according to:
Blocktrail: 135,000
Statoshi: 133,000
TradeBlock: 46,000
RT @kristovatlas: I wrote a new blog post containing a few thoughts about conflicts of interest and Bitcoin development. http://t.co/Tc6yux…
@pierebel There is definitely a “Goldilocks zone”
Too few UTXOs and a Bitcoin wallet can’t make multiple txs that get reliably confirmed.
Too many UTXOs and it may struggle selecting them.
