Lol , you have no shame in these types of technical discussions . Of course , the assumption in my original statement was that all these tx fees , including what you call spam , exceeded the minfee . Given that scenario , the tremendous waste of node resources still applies . <| sep |> No offense but fuck that ! <| sep |> Yeah I just wish all load outs are accessible at the start . Balance issues make scape goatting more likely . I know ions can wreck tones but still . <| sep |> Bad anger probems <| sep |> Damn that was great <| sep |> Yes , everybody is right censored . In that case the survival curve is a flat line over the period of measurement and you ' re done . I think I would follow up by computing the proportion that failed zero , obviously and estimate a confidence interval for that proportion based on the sample size . You might want to consider if there could be a relationship between implant failure and death or loss to followup , which is where the cases censored before study end could cause you to miss something . Were there possibly people whose implants failed earlier than 10 years who weren ' t enrolled ? That would be something you might want to get into as well .
