Are you sure about that Bitcoin stuff? Is Reddit really a reliable source. I am looking at blockchain.info and the Mempool still looks bloated, the Cost per Transaction still looks high and the SegWit Adoption still looks stagnant and quite low.
I did a Post-Segwit Review back in December and nothing seems to have changed.
Hi mate, the Reddit story is only this guys making the first purchase via LN and i have no reason to dobut his story as Torguard itself verifies it.
About the mempool and fees, there are blokes still paying 2000 sats/byte, i guess these come from greedy brokers and exchanges who are too lazy to upgrade their estimation . Check this guys feed on Twitter, these guys are on top of it. https://twitter.com/ArminVanBitcoin/status/954581110712827905.
Sorry, haven't been able to follow-up more thorougly today due to some business.
No worries. I appreciate the reply. I will have a dig into this one a bit more myself.
