And at time of writing this post, statoshi.info report there's about 128.3 million UTXO. Although i have no idea how much UTXO growth impact RAM and I/O usage.
Isn't the size of
chainstate caused by all those UTXOs? It's currently 7.8 GB. Ideally, that should all fit in RAM, but my Bitcoin Core uses much less. Except for the IBD, looking up about 2000 transactions on disk every 10 minutes isn't much of a problem.
NFT already possible on LN and various Bitcoin sidechain, it's just almost nobody use it.
Ordinal spammers (or should I say
scammers?) need to use Bitcoin's name to get people's money. "LN" isn't familiar enough, I guess. It would be so much better if they promote LN while spamming LN. Unlike Bitcoin, LN has no problem with millions of dust transactions.
