1 sat/vB BTC transactions are being mined

If you have lots of small inputs in a BTC wallet (expensive to spend when fees are high) today could be the day to do some defragging.

Send yourself a transaction with many small inputs and they get combined into a single input.

Each input uses 148 bytes (less for segwit) so any dusty bits in your wallet over 296 sats could be worth including in a 2 sat/vB defrag transaction for example.

Here's where to keep an eye on the mempool.

Next Thursday difficulty will go up ~20%, the mempool will grow and fees will rise.

Note, only combine together small inputs/UTXOs: there's no point combining two UTXOs of 1 BTC into a 2 BTC lump. Large UTXOs also mean large change when you spend, raising privacy issues.
