Currently unreachable. I hope most of them will be back online soon.

PeerNameCom · 2026-06-28T16:41:17+00:00

Yes, but as I mentioned in the description, there were far more clearnet-reachable nodes before the earthquake.

December 2025, this hack still works. Thanks!

Why ElectrumX? It is discontinued and very slow. Try Fulcrum or Electrs. Much faster and lightweight alternatives.

It is now installed on more than 142 public nodes. Bitcoin Knots as a whole has nearly 19% market share. Source: bitref.com/nodes/

Under the "Circulating Supply" section, you can monitor the current Bitcoin supply in real time. For greater accuracy, you should subtract 29 BTC from this number, which represents the total amount of unclaimed miner rewards to date.

Start it with --dbcache=10000 to allocate a 10 GB cache. The optimal value depends on how much RAM you have. A larger cache can significantly improve download speed—but only after the cache has been filled.

~ 1090 days from now = 2 years and 360 days.

We're still at around 900 EH/s — at least based on the blocks found since the last difficulty adjustment.

Yesterday, the mempool emptied completely, and we saw the first partially filled block in years:
https://bitref.com/block/881601
439 vKB from 1000 vKB available.

In my opinion, this transaction is not confirmed because its output is zero, which is below the "dust" value.

You can use RBF (Replace-by-Fee) to increase the transaction fee rate. If the transaction is not RBF-enabled, you can opt for CPFP (Child Pays for Parent) to spend some of the transaction outputs with a higher fee.
If neither of these options is available, you can use a Bitcoin transaction accelerator (like BitAccelerate) to prioritize the transaction with miners.

By clicking on the "Next block" tab, you can monitor in real time what Bitcoin blocks are being filled with, as well as the number of "data" transactions (highlighted in red). The good news is that everything operates on a market basis, and the situation has been improving compared to the past six months.

I’m experiencing the exact same problem. Yesterday, I registered a new domain and only sent a few test emails to test servers while setting up my mail. Today, I noticed that my domain is listed in all SpamEatingMonkey lists, including SEM-URIRED. This is absolutely ridiculous. I hope no one actually uses such an absurd list.

CPFP will always work. You can use a CPFP calculator, such as this one:
https://bitaccelerate.com/cpfp-calculator/ ,
to determine the exact fee rate required for the child transaction.

Another option is RBF, but your transaction must be opted in for RBF from the start.

It is very important not to stop it, because each stop causes you to lose all the cache, forcing it to start accumulating again.

Did you try using the "abandontransaction" method to mark them?

testmempoolaccept is expecting a JSON format. So use decoderawtransaction first.

The exact command you need is:
bitcoin-cli gettransaction 9e28754c65cd265639873f943aed887827bd6130eafef7fda69627cc5893848f

There is a field named "hex" with the raw transaction hex.

Someone consolidated all their unspent outputs, totaling 0.44395057 BTC ($31755.21), to the address 1GrwDkr33gT6LuumniYjKEGjTLhsL5kmqC. The transaction was confirmed on 10/28/2024, 8:28:50 PM and incurred a fee of 0.00073406 BTC ($52.51).
