I would agree with bspend in some way
Trump is the first crypto/meme President
Nayib is the first Bitcoin President.

I believe he had rather create his own coin for it.

What MARA does is worrying, although even them couldn't afford to follow all US recommendations[1]. But on other hands, author from link shared by @SilverCryptoBullet recently publish another article which state F2Pool continue to exclude OFAC-related TX[2].


I'd be surprised if Trump does that, without major restriction or violate Bitcoiner's privacy.

Not on mempool, on a website called mempool.space.

If you visit the website's homepage you can see how they represent the transactions in the mempool and in each block with squares of various sizes and colors. Bigger square size indicates a bigger tx size (in bytes) and the colors represent the fee rate. It goes from Dark Green (#557d00) all the way to Dark Pink (#ae005b). If a tx is paying a low fee rate it is greener and if it is paying a higher fee rate it is more red.

You can find the source code of that website on github[1] and the color range I mentioned is from this which I am guessing is the correct part of the code by taking a quick look[2].

Now all it takes is to go through the mempool.space source code, figure out how many rows and columns there are, write a simple script to create and place specific transactions with specific fee rate (all fixed size so fixed square sizes) in your candid block in a way that mempool.space would show a picture you want.

Funny thing is that if the website owner decides to remove this feature or changes how it works (eg. changes number of rows/columns) all this work becomes a complete waste of time and of course waste of blockchain space
That's the problem with using centralized stuff...

See, now this is something I don't like. I don't want more miners to push bullshit like this onto the blockchain at the expense of regular transactions.

Agree on this but guess the won't do that way because they will lose all the visibilità they are trying to achieve by doing it on mainnet.
Perhaps we are witnessing yet another way of advertising?
