It seems like you're discussing a specific cryptocurrency, likely Bitcoin (BTC), given the mention of "sats" (a colloquial term for satoshis, which is one hundredth of a bitcoin). The discussion revolves around block mining and transaction fees. Here's a breakdown:
1. **Less than 100 blocks to mine**: In Bitcoin, it takes on average about 10 minutes to mine one block, meaning that approximately every 10 minutes, a new block is added to the blockchain. If less than 100 blocks are needed to reach your mining target, this indicates a very short period for mining, suggesting either an extremely high hash rate (the speed at which computers can solve mathematical equations to validate transactions and mine bitcoin) or perhaps a misunderstanding in the context of how "blocks" is being used here.
2. **Less than 200k tx to mine**: Transactions per block (TPB) have varied significantly across Bitcoin's history, with spikes during periods of high activity and adoption. A figure like "less than 200k tx" might relate to an expected number of transactions within a certain timeframe, but without context on the time frame or the specific network conditions, it's difficult to directly interpret this.
3. **2 sats/vb to get your tx mined**: Transaction fees are calculated in satoshis (sats) per byte of data. A fee of 2 sats per byte is considered very low in today's Bitcoin landscape. The cost of including a transaction within the next available block has increased significantly since Bitcoin's inception, making transactions more expensive as the network became busier.
Regarding your question about UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) count plateauing and whether spammers ran out of sats or if another wave is coming:
- **UTXO Count Plateauing**: The UTXO count refers to the number of unspent transaction outputs in Bitcoin's blockchain. This can plateau for several reasons, including a decrease in transaction volume or an increase in transaction consolidation (where one large output replaces multiple smaller ones). However, if it's plateauing because spammers ran out of sats, that would imply a specific scenario where users are no longer willing to pay the required fees due to high costs.
- **Wave Coming**: Bitcoin often experiences fluctuations based on a variety of factors including global economic conditions, adoption rates (both individual and institutional), technological advancements (like improved mining efficiency or new consensus algorithms like Proof-of-Stake being considered), changes in regulations, and more. Without specific context, it's challenging to say what exactly you're referring to by "another wave."
In summary, the conversation seems to be about aspects of Bitcoin's blockchain and its dynamics under current conditions. However, without further details or a clearer understanding of your question's context within these discussions, it's hard to provide a more precise answer or insight.
