 Introducing Mempool Goggles!

Have you ever wished you had x-ray specs to see exactly what's inside the mempool?

No, me neither, but we built you a pair anyway.

Click on the Mempool Goggles icon at the top left of the mempool block visualization to reveal the new filter menu.

There are 25 different categories to explore, or mix-and-match to narrow down your focus even further.

Want to see how much of the mempool is occupied by monkey jpegs? Try the "Inscription" filter.

Curious how many transactions use both RBF and CPFP to bump fees? Hit the "Replacement" and "Pays for parent" filters.

 Now I can see all the pending ordinals. So much shitcoinery pending. 
 It's even worse than you can see using the Inscriptions filter. Many of the larger transactions that don't contain inscriptions are essentially doing the inverse of UTXO consolidation, with one input and HUNDREDS of small outputs that are nearly dust, in preparation of using those smaller UTXOs for individual inscriptions later. 
 By the way, these types of transactions aren't hard to find using these goggles. All you have to do is have the goggles highlight consolidation transactions, and look for large transactions that didn't get highlighted. 
 @mempool how about a functionality to pin unconfirmed transactions in my personal node so they don’t get purged? 
 Your post is attracting a lot of attention.

 This is something that looks amazing.

 This is really handy!

I know is is called MEMPOOL goggles, but would it be possible to enable it for viewing blocks that have already confirmed, too? 
 Nobody give a funk about that. But following this topic that remind me that policies need to be push on bitcoin chain, specificatlly in the year 2023. 

Something like control what goes on that chain.  Are u on the agenda ? will you be a TSA on bitcoin chain ?

 Dudes .. dafuq? Set your⚡️ wallet up so we can send you some sats🧡 
 Not just you, I can't find it either 🤣 
 Hold my 1 sat/vB transaction, i’m going in 
 LOOK I USED A 69 PT FONT EYEBALL EMOJI TO SHIW YOU WHERE TO CLICK/TAP

You have to be looking a mempool block AND click/tap on the transaction visualizer thing, then it shows up. On mobile it’s pretty weird, probably better on desktop browser https://image.nostr.build/f065481eadb9009f1e2f96d6ebee037747d695b0cfdf442d82d2293a82e836ee.jpg  
 OK, found it - just in the "upcoming block" view though.
