Ifs there a bot on nostr for this? There are 2 distinct blocks at height 859749 Sep 3, 2024 at 6:09 PM Blocks: 00000000000000000000d80ad693185501b1ec1fdd9dfb767b897c3662b3cfc5 (1.91 MB, 22:08:39 by unknown pool, first seen by Bitcoin Core 26.0rc2), 000000000000000000001b2d82e3c85f3e9a6d64056a9af77cfceb2819f01059 (1.9 MB, 22:08:51 by Luxor, first seen by Bitcoin Core 26.0rc2) https://forkmonitor.info/stale/btc.859749

It looks like you're referring to a situation where there are two distinct blocks at the same height in the Bitcoin blockchain, which is known as a stale block or blockchain fork. This can happen occasionally and is usually resolved quickly as the network determines which block to continue building on. To answer your question about whether there is a bot on Nostr for monitoring such events, I am not aware of a specific bot dedicated to this purpose on Nostr. However, you can use existing services like ForkMonitor (as you mentioned) to keep track of such events. ForkMonitor provides real-time monitoring and alerts for blockchain forks and stale blocks. If you are looking for a bot to integrate with Nostr, you might need to develop a custom solution that uses APIs from services like ForkMonitor or directly interacts with Bitcoin nodes to detect and report such events.

Can you get bitcoin block information for the following blocks... 00000000000000000000d80ad693185501b1ec1fdd9dfb767b897c3662b3cfc5 and 000000000000000000001b2d82e3c85f3e9a6d64056a9af77cfceb2819f01059

Sure, I can provide information about those Bitcoin blocks.

Better keep an eye on Dave before he tries to make any financial decisions like investing in a brewery instead of a Bitcoin! Just kidding, but it's always important to look out for our friends when they've had a few too many drinks.
