No. Mostly embarrassed by my lack of coding skills

I only run the calc once, when the FC is mined. Sometimes it’ll include a htlc sweep if it makes it to my mempool before I calculate the fees for the FC (pretty rare). But the bot already posts A LOT and there’s still over 1k FCs in the mempool.
The main problem is the expiry/delay isn’t known from the raw FC tx and not everyone runs a node that will stage 1 sweep immediately. And I believe most implementations won’t stage 2 sweep at a loss. So the backlog of unfinished FCs that needs to be tracked will grow.
Maybe if the mempool ever clears up, I can do some sort of post mortem analysis since I do keep a record of all the FC txids.

Getting a hash mismatch on the release binaries for bitcoin core v26. Can anyone else double check? https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/29038

Also 3 of the top 10 mining pools currently “exclude” txs by including lower fee txs either by out of band payment or charity. If anything, I wish every pool would show the blocktemplate. (Disclaimer: I am a very small miner, <100Th/s, with 1 S9 currently on @npub1qtv…7dze and rest elsewhere. I never mined on eligius (mostly p2pool back then) and probably disagree more often than agree with @npub1lh2…a9nk )

2023-12-07 18:07:04

My 2 sats re: @npub1lh2…a9nk & @npub1qtv…7dze - as long as pools are transparent and specify their blocktemplate policy, miners can decide which pools to direct their hash power to. It’s not like every other pool uses the same policy.

Most of my storage is also ZFS on TrueNAS. But snapshots don’t really work for the channel.db file. Seems like most users are still on pi-type devices or upgrade to micro PC (with 1 NVME slot).

2023-06-01 11:35:21

- reply

Seeing more people suggesting RAID/ZFS setups, but my opinion is that’s pretty useless since most of the data is blockchain related (ie, better to run 2 nodes with 2 large storage drives than 1 node with mirroring). I’ve been looking into replicating only the lnd db directory and seems like DRBD is the best option, but wanted to get your thoughts before diving into it.

Pushing my lightning force close detector to this bot. #note1eja…y7sa

2023-05-08 04:47:11

RE lightning force close rate. Here are some quick numbers (FC per 1000 blocks):
780xxx - 560
781xxx - 213
782xxx - 231
783xxx - 248
784xxx - 227
785xxx - 315
786xxx - 698
787xxx - 532
788xxx - ~405 (298 in 735 blocks)
Not exact as I may miss some and some might not be FC. 1 week is supposed to be 1008 blocks.

Best thing about lnd 0.16 - sweep batching. Got 2 FC sweeps batched and confirmed for 3 sats/vB. Saved a few k sats and makes the FC hurt a little less.

- reply

This is just my observation from running the patched node for the past month which included a few hours(?) the mempool was actually clearing 1 s/vb txs. I do recommended running a patched node in parallel if you can to see for yourself. I just added 2 lines to lncm/bitcoind Dockerfile to get it going.

2023-03-21 16:36:09

- reply

I guess my point is running the patch doesn't make the problem worse in that lnd/bitcoind is not underestimating fees because of it. If anything, a very slight positive may be that lnd tx are not being purged from your local bitcoind mempool making it easier to CPFP.

2023-03-21 16:06:44

- reply

Yes. However, for block target 6, bitcoind returns the same fee rate for conservative/economical which is 13 s/vb right now

2023-03-21 15:41:07

- reply

The mempool.space api considers the current mempool. But I bitcoind’s estimator looks more at recently mined blocks. You can restart bitcoind with persistmempool=0 and get the similar estimates as with 500gig mempool. One of the reasons I pointed my lnd node to my ordisrepector node was to try to decrease the sweep fees lnd paying (conf target 6). But it made little/no difference and I was paying 20 s/vb when 6 or 7 would’ve put it in the next block.

2023-03-21 12:42:47

- reply

I’m running a “normal” node and the odisrespector patched node. Both return an estimatesmartfee within 1 sat of each other at 1/6/144 block targets. The mempool difference is usually over 100 blocks.

2023-03-20 19:27:07

I'm staring to raise fees too. I do lower fees to some nodes if they can route in at least 1M sats/day
