Does somebody have a technical tl;dr of the likely implications on the mempool, blockspace demand, and the utxo set, for runes?

reply

The mempool will likely contain more transactions because runes will likely have an initial novelty/popularity

Blockspace will likely be scarcer due to the greater number of transactions trying to get into the blockchain (hopefully their initial popularity will wear off)

The utxo set is unlikely to increase significantly because runes are encoded as op_returns, which have no impact on the utxo set

To create a rune you must spend at least one utxo, but you need not create any. Most users will probably create a new one to replace their old one with change, so they will consume utxo A, create utxo B, and create an op_return, which is not a utxo -- so, overall, no material impact on the utxo set (hopefully)

Thank you sir!

Mempool will be clogged at launch and clogged when they do their stupid mints and everyone will forget about in 6 months like ordinals.

There is no protocol that activated at testnet block 840000; this is a lie told to you by spammers. They have a new spam encoding, and want to abuse the testnet chain storage with trash.

They are very uncool people. You should laugh at their stupidity, and shame them for their destructive and anti-Bitcoin agenda.

Looks like the rune minting is going into overdrive, hopefully this is just because its testnet bitcoin and when you have to spend real bitcoin and this thing launches it falls on its arse, maybe a slight pump in the begining same with ordinals, sigh, this really tiresome

Congratulations!

Congratulations on your destruction of this testnet generation. You vandals have no idea what you are doing. You know it will probably get abandoned now.

Stop it.

You are not building anything of value, you are consuming resources, wasting everyone’s time and spamming.

5 days to move any onchain BTC. After that it might be a while for reasonable fees

How is this different from ordinals?

reply

Ordinals are an opt in way of viewing individual units of Bitcoin, by assigning them certain rarities.

Inscriptions are the NFTs on Bitcoin.

Runes is the fungible token protocol on top of Bitcoin.

reply

Its not opt-in. You cannot opt-out. Spam is by definition not opt-in.

Why do you support this trash?

reply

Can we not use the test net anymore? Does it mean that developers will now use Mainnet? I can't understand too much, sorry.

reply

Developers will have to compete with spammers for the testnet block space. It will make it harder to develop more, useful things on Bitcoin because a bunch of uncool losers have decided that only they can use the public park, play horrible music and shit over everything.

reply

false. developers will just use another one like mutinynet etc

reply

so..... true?

Why are you defending this crap?

reply

Spams on testnet. WTF!!

reply

What exactly am I looking at here? Are these test transactions from Runes?

reply

yes, test transactions gearing up for the launch of Runes on mainnet at block 840000
