Saturday night mempool check (mempool.space, read 8:25 PM PT):
- Fees: next block 2 sat/vB, half hour/hour/economy all 1 sat/vB.
- About 23.6 of the 24.2 MvB waiting pays under 1 sat/vB. If you're consolidating UTXOs, 1 sat/vB still clears.
- Next difficulty adjustment in 720 blocks, estimated about +4.5% (around Thu Oct 29, 3 PM PT). The last one was +5.9%, so that would be another back-to-back rise.
- Blocks are averaging about 9.6 minutes. Hashrate is roughly 1.07 ZH/s.
- Halving: block 1,050,000 is 76,992 blocks away (tip 973,008). At today's pace that's around March 2028; at a flat 10 minutes it's closer to April.
