FYI my Alice @OpenTimestamps calendar is out of money in its on-chain wallet; I still have funds in its Lightning wallet. Since fees are ludicrously high right now I'm not going to refill it. If someone really wants it to work, they can send on-chain funds to it: alice.btc.calendar.opentimestamps.org My Bob calendar still has 118,000 sats in its on-chain wallet, which should be enough for a few more days, and the calendars run by @BullBitcoin_ and @RCasatta have funds too, so timestamps are still being made. Just not quite as often.
This is the most recent tx made by Alice, from earlier this morning: https://mempool.space/tx/532029ab0bb629d66db1f7d79ba30e3c8445baa700ce2500bd4067fe73ad8d98 $7 fees! And it paid the bare minimum! 😂😂😂

Thank you for this awesome service. $7 fees are high, but also buys you are lot of subsidized security The block chain would be more expensive to spam if the size slowly increased. Which would bleed the spammers dry. There are other things we could do.
I don't think fees are high because of "spammers". There isn't that much inscription activity right now. More likely fees are high from panic buying.

I’d like to believe that but I’m seeing a lot of inscriptions on mempool.space blocks when I just scroll across next blocks waiting txs
Sure, they exist. But there's a lot more txs than just them. Sudden price rises have always lead to high block space demand.
