Can you explain this? My transactions were stuck for a while, not processing even though there were blocks being mined. Empty block with no transactions?
Fortunately @9492 came through!
I want transactions! Am I being foolish? Please enlighten me!

All the minority SHA256 chains are being merge mined by this amorphous "token company":

Ah, interesting. Thank you for this information. I don't like it. I wonder if there is some market mechanism for getting it to be where transaction processors actually process the transactions. Higher fees? More transactions? Lower cost bandwidth?

1. Convince HathorMM that validating TXs for fees is rational
2. Feed competing miners enough revenue to outhash HathorMM
3. Disallow 0-value UTXOs (not "market" driven but suggested by @205 )
@40 has compelling reasons why #3 is a bad idea. I'm not sure.

Interesting! Thank you. That gives me a lot to consider.

For the record...I'm not against disallowing 0-valued UTXO's to be spent. I'll accept. I'm all for experimenting and letting the free market decide.
I'm pointing out that 0-valued UTXO's start a slippery slope and reducing the demand for Satoshis.

Important clarification, thank you!

Ethereum has 0 ETH txs, infinite inflation, zero scaling solutions and a market cap 17x higher than Bitcoin. That says: "Let's focus on utility and ease of use!" to me, not: "Let's argue the merits of imposing new artificial constraints on Bitcoin miners!"

Interesting! Thank you for sharing.

Never seen a free TX on Ethereum, and the inflation rate still approaches 0% over time.
