I've seen that lately people are actually more concerned about fees that looking at the price, so, I was saying to myself, why not a mempool observer thread?
It's a welcome idea, alot had been saif already concerning the mempool these recent days, i guess the transaction fee increase is one of the main reasons for such, but this thread could help deal with all related discussions concerning mempool or transaction fees.
And if you think x-mas is coming and there will be a lul the incoming transactions, I have some bad news for you:
The difficulty adjustment is coming in 24 hours and the current pace is 5.4%, that means 95 extra blocks have been mined compared to normal, a thing that might change to less blocks mined next period, meaning less capacity, which you guess it, means higher fees!
This is more of getting us into suspence, but it's the actual truth, we should expect the recent adjustment to come in, why this will happen is because, if you look at the recent ones we had, it has not been stable, it's rather going up or coming very low downwards but something should be definitely anticipated upon.
