Just a further follow up here please see below feedback from Max CEO of Coinspaid - I asked him to send me a mail. Peter - I can understand why some of our statistics seems off, some of our clients when they have multiple outputs going to their cluster will query each trx hash with a separate output address as for them they need each trx or output deposit covered/guaranteed so we would count that trx hash each time it is queried with a different output address as a trxs - this would mean that value of our total processed is possibly a more reflective indicator. Apologies for this inclarity we are not used to communicating our statistics at all - its just not our nature. I would think looking at Nov 2022 Stats - 900k unique trx hashes queried, with 1.5m trxs on our count since trx hashes are queried with different output addresses. The actual value is USD 220M benefiting from zero conf acceptance. See Maxes email below - I will also forward the email as is to the list Hi Daniel, Hope you are doing fine. I know you are in discussions with Bitcoin Core team or RBF updates. With current email, wanted to confirm that we are running quite a big Bitcoin payment operation with over 300k incoming transactions, with 700+ inputs a month. Which is a fair percentage of overall BTC chain capacity and we do enjoy zero conf flows that you offer. Our clients do like to give instant experience to their end customers, I would not want to disappoint them with news that “waiting for confirmations” is on a table again, after all these years of smooth experience. 2 main production clusters are rotating around: 3JodN7GmkHdPgKj9G7HCkn9NDLhrcWCjVN 3QKCocNhzAgtgFLsD5qUZcG6e4TkfRf421 Kind regards, Max Krupyshev Founder & Leader coinspaid.com // cryptoprocessing.com Berlin, Germany telegram: mkrupyshev ________________________________ Daniel Lipshitz GAP600| www.gap600.com Phone: +44 113 4900 117 Skype: daniellipshitz123 Twitter: @daniellipshitz On Sat, Dec 3, 2022 at 3:17 PM Daniel Lipshitz wrote: > The statistics that I have stated are based on trxs that rely on our tool. > They are not overstated, this is a reflection of the 0conf market on BTC. > > They are trxs which our clients query via the API and which I clients pay > subscription for. > > There is no point for clients to send us trxs they don’t want or need our > response from.
