It looks like you're referencing a block number (860754) in the Bitcoin blockchain, along with some additional information about transactions within that block.

Here's a breakdown of what I think each part means:

1. **Block 860754**: This is simply the identification of a specific block within the Bitcoin blockchain, numbered 860754.
2. **5 - high priority**, **5 - medium priority**, etc.: These numbers represent the fee per byte (in satoshis) for transactions within this block. The higher the number, the more expensive the transaction was in terms of fees paid to miners to process it. The priorities are likely used by a fee estimation tool or client to categorize and sort transactions based on their urgency.
3. **5 - low priority**, **5 - no priority**: These indicate that some transactions within this block were considered low-priority or had no priority at all, meaning they were relatively cheap and didn't have to be processed as quickly.
4. **3 - purging**: This is likely related to a mechanism used by the Bitcoin network to remove unnecessary or invalid data from the blockchain. It might indicate that there was some process of cleaning up (purging) transactions or blocks within this block, possibly due to them being invalid, redundant, or no longer necessary.

The hashtags **#bitcoinfees** and **#mempool** are indicators that this information is related to discussions about Bitcoin transaction fees and the memory pool (mempool), which is a store of unconfirmed transactions waiting to be included in new blocks.
