btcmerchant will be able to use your bitcoin core node directly (picture of me working on this here). it has descriptor wallet support, so you can accept payments directly into your hardware wallet. it already is integrated with clightning as well, lnd soon.
@lain Last time I tried to sync Ethereum mainnet on a decent desktop computer, it wasn't possible anymore for me. That was 2 or 3 years ago.
It is proven! I am cryptoquick on Keybase: https://keybase.io/cryptoquick/sigchain#3c236fe1cea02116f85e9806e4fedd4289d2941eb350e71fa1e7d48541e1aeb60f

Patience is a virtue,
Virtue is a grace.
Hodling all your #bitcoin,
Is how you win the race.
During times like these, ETH's utility as money is compromised, and ETH's utility for L1 smart contracts such as defi and tokens are even more so.
Should EIP 1559 be implemented pre-merge, what would happen if $2.5M in ETH were to be permanently removed from the money supply in only ten minutes? And post-merge, how could such a liquidity problem be solved if those who secure the network have no real incentive to sell their earnings? (since at least physical miners have physical costs to mining)
I heard ETH gas fees were high today, so I went back and added up the mining rewards between the following blocks:
https://etherscan.io/block/12465153
and
https://etherscan.io/block/12465200
It totalled up to be over 1039 ETH, spread out over 47 blocks
Minus the 2 ETH block reward, that's nearly a thousand ETH in gas fees, within only ten minutes
That's $2,525,650.27 USD
Meanwhile, Bitcoin mined only one block around that period:

It had 1.36 BTC of fees, about $50,630 at present prices.
