gm, the food taste so good... And what a luxury to be able to have more than one piece of fruit per day!
I know some of you may have a lot of questions. I won't have all the answers.
Let me chill for a bit. Then figure out the next steps. There are always more opportunities in the future than there were in the past.
I want to thank everyone for your support. It meant a lot to me, and kept me strong in the darkest moments.
A few quick updates/thoughts:
Giggle Academy has been going well, and will be a big part of my life for the next few years.
Will continue to invest in blockchain/decentralized technologies, AI, and biotech. I am a long term investor who care about impact, not returns.
I will also dedicate more time and funding to charity (and education). I have some rough ideas.
Still working on my book. About 2/3 done, I think. Writing a book is a lot more work than I anticipated, but will see this one through.
Oh, @binance seems to be doing well without me back-seat-driving, which is excellent. Every founder's dream!
Stay tuned. See you at the conferences.
@quantum_drops Grabbed a couple. One of the non recycled collections on fractal. Thanks for injecting some actual art on the fractal market not just dick biting other collections like most of the market. Bravo๐
We received some user feedback regarding the incomplete filling of blocks on Fractal mainnet. We immediately launched an investigation.
Hereโs more details on what happened: Miners generally prioritize high-fee transactions and are subject to two block size constraints: 1) the maximum block size in bytes, 2) the maximum number of SIG operations. When faced with a large amount of high-fee MULTISIG transactions, blocks can reach the SIG limit of 80,000 and can no longer include more transactions.
๐ธ Typically, a Segregated Witness (SegWit) transaction consumes 1 SIG, allowing a theoretical maximum of 80,000 transactions in a block (80,000/1=80,000). This far exceeds the norm, so the SIG limit is rarely observed in practice.
๐ธ A transaction that includes MULTISIG consumes 84 SIGs, meaning that if a block is fully filled with such transactions, the maximum number of transactions in a block would be reduced to 80,000/84 = 952. This results in blocks bytes not fully packed.
We observed that certain random blocks were fully packed because they included low-fee transactions that were not MULTISIG. These transactions filled the remaining 75% of the block space, leading to an approximate 20% increase in the total block fees.
Such occurrence is a result of the existing mechanisms on the BTC mainnet and not a bug with the Fractal explorer. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and work on improving network connectivity and performance.
