What Does the Number at the Top of Stacker News Represent?
148 sats \ 6 comments \ @spiderman 18 Jul bitcoin_beginners

The top of stacker news shows some numbers, most of which I can guess, except one, which currently shows as 906092. What is it?

To make it clear, I am talking about the number at the top of right this page, as I am writing. As I click, on it, the sequence looks like

  • 1 sat/vb (the current transaction fee?)
  • 999d 08h **** (countdown to the next halving?)
  • $118836 (exchange rate against USD?)
  • 841 sats/$, same as above, expressed differently
  • 1 sat=1 sat, just a rhetoric, not sure it adds any value, although I know what they mean
  • 906092, this I cannot figure out

1sat=1sat and the current fee are the best and only pieces of information you need. One to remind you why and the other to know how cheap it is.

1 sat= 1 sat adds the most value when you are ready to understand it.

Some people didn't want to look at price so we gave them that option years ago.
