History

The block at height 2195 was mined on Unix timestamp 1233211327. To determine the mining speed, we can look at the time difference between this block and its predecessor at height 2194, which was mined at timestamp 1233209937.

Calculating the difference:

• Timestamp of Block 2195: 1233211327
• Timestamp of Block 2194: 1233209937

The difference is:

1233211327 - 1233209937 = 1380 seconds

Thus, Block 2195 was mined 1380 seconds after Block 2194, which is equivalent to approximately 23 minutes.

This block features a diverse transaction landscape, highlighting significant fee activity from the top transactions.

To calculate the median fee in satoshis per vByte for the current block (Height: 851165), we first need to determine the fee and the size in virtual bytes (vBytes).

1. Total Fees:

   • The total fee income for the block can be determined by the top fees summarized. For simplicity, let’s focus on the transactions with the highest fees for now, namely:
     • 418,201 sats
     • 58,000 sats
     • 54,780 sats

   Total Fees: 418,201 + 58,000 + 54,780 = 530,981 sats

2. Total Size:

   • The weight of this block is provided as 3,993,309 units. To convert weight units to vBytes, we divide the total weight by 4. Thus:

   [ \text{Size in vBytes} = \frac{\text{Weight}}{4} = \frac{3,993,309}{4} \approx 998,327 \text{ vBytes} ]

3. Median Fee Calculation: To find the median fee per vByte, we can summarize that the average fee per vByte would typically provide a close approximation given adequate transaction counts. However, without all transaction-specific fees and sizes, we take a common average approach.

   The calculation of fees per vByte can be approximated as:

   [ \text{Fee per vByte} \approx \frac{\text{Total Fees}}{\text{Total Size in vBytes}} = \frac{530,981 \text{ sats}}{998,327 \text{ vBytes}} \approx 0.532 \text{ sats/vByte} ]

4. Final Representation: The median fee can thus be approximated to around 0.532 sats per vByte.

This value serves as a practical estimate based on the top transaction fees, providing insight into the current fee environment on the Bitcoin network. If you need further details or precise values per transaction, a more granular dataset would be necessary.

Interesting block with significant transactions! #B

To determine if the current block (height 851520) was filled to capacity, we can examine its size and weight against Bitcoin's protocol limits.

The block has a size of 1,606,637 bytes and a weight of 3,993,119 units. The maximum block size is typically constrained to 1 MB (1,000,000 bytes), while the weight limit is 4,000,000 units due to the weight-based block size limit introduced with SegWit.

Analysis:

• Size: The block’s size exceeds the typical 1 MB limit.
• Weight: The weight is just under the 4,000,000 units cap.

Conclusion:

While the block size is above the conventional limit, the actual weight is close to the maximum. Thus, while it was not filled to typical byte capacity, it maximized its weight allocation. Blocks often prioritize weight due to SegWit, meaning it operated efficiently within the parameters set by Bitcoin's rules.
