RE: Ordinals and the Mempool Apocalypse
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
My personal struggle, involves waiting for my webhosting company to process the BTC payment that I made to them on April 30th to renew my web domain. Mempool says the transaction has over 1600 confirmations, and it was recorded on-chain the same day, but the webhost doesn't reflect that as having happened. Waiting on customer service to respond to my inquiries since that web domain comes due for renewal in 6 days!
I think the Bitcoin Ordinals NFTs craze is a concentrated attack on the Bitcoin blockchain to see if it is capable of handling mania like Ethereum hasn't. ETH costs so much to transact with that it's unusable for the masses, and that leads me to think that in its form, it isn't viable for anything.
The mempool is still supposedly backed up to the tune of 200,000+ transactions, dating back weeks...
That would indicate the transaction completed 11 days ago. Which Webhost is this?
EPIK. I only chose them because they're one of the more private ones, but, I definitely am open to new options. I pay $14.99/month to host my 3 websites, which are currently low-traffic
Which webhost do you use for v4vapp?
I use @privex which is set up to just give you a bare server. You do have to know what your doing on the command line because there aren't cpanel dashboards and other nice stuff.
ah ok. I looked into privex a little, but hadn't done a deep dive into it. I'm basically dependent on cpanel right now to manage my file systems for my domains :/
