A must watch~! I have been running my own node since 2017, and I have learned a LOT from this video. Also, the comparison with Core is fantastic. Knots is the pleb node, by far. More choice, more aligned with Bitcoin as money. Core is run by technocrats.
youtu.be/Ck4Rf1hX2is To my fellow node runners! Don’t fear the settings — own them. I made a video that walks you through what mempool policy config actually is in Bitcoin Knots (on my @Start9Labs server, but it applies everywhere). Learn how to filter transactions, set…
They should have thought about it before shipping the industrial base to China just to break the back of the working class in the US, and the social movements that demanded dignity and justice. Now AI is poised to rug pull yet another generation. One word: untrustworthy.
Mike Rowe: “We’ve been telling kids for 15 years to learn to code.” “Well, AI is coming for the coders.” “It’s not coming for the welders, the plumbers, the steamfitters, the pipefitters, the HVAC, or the electricians.” “In Aspen, I sat and listened to Larry Fink say we need…
A new legend/meme is born. #InterspeciesDiplomacy. Thank god I left @Gemini years ago. Way to build a reputation @tyler, @cameron. Keep it up!
This is how I responded. I don’t think they even read my letter. 🥺
Just got my dolphin card, thank you @AquaBitcoin! The card designs are very cute. Will be trying this out in Argentina and Japan soon.
The world's heart breaks for Gaza. This will not be forgotten.
Ambulance sirens are sounding simultaneously across the #Gaza Strip in a coordinated distress signal, highlighting the escalating famine and the collapse of the healthcare system. (Source: IG: mohammed_fayq) The world is about to witness the mass death of thousands due to an…
It's seed phrases all the way down!
Not only can you create a BIP85 child seed from your parent seed (or 2³² (4,294,967,296) of them), but each and every one of those seed phrases can also create BIP85 children, and those children can beget more children...forever.
This is the accomplishment of the decade imho. What other developments in Bitcoin in the 2020s is greater than giving us a chance at decentralizing block template construction? I want to know!
Almost every OCEAN block is DATUM now. Only three in the last month were made by us. Every other block was constructed by the miner locally and broadcast to the network without third party permission. This has been talked about for 14 years, but making it happen finally is a…
Highly recommended watch!
DATUM rocked the mining world when @ocean_mining released it last year; at btc++ mempools edition 💦 in Austin this May Jason Hughes @wk057 finally gave us a walk through of how the protocol works youtu.be/FJ0Hye52Ib8?si…
"They basically re-defined OS spoofing to hide what they actually did" (which was to remove OS spoofing) What TOR devs are doing is eerily similar to what Core devs did, which was to change a definition to make the ordinals exploit/bug go away. youtu.be/3wlNemFwbwE
All time low! They are stealing from your wages and #Bitcoin is the canary in the fiat mines. The big one is going to hit soon. #Bitcoin is the only way out of the burial chamber.
🚨 BREAKING: the USD hits an ALL TIME LOW as 0.1 #Bitcoin now is $12140.96🚀 As long as fiat exists, Bitcoin does not have a top‼️ Keep stacking sats. 💪 ₿
I could live a few more lifetimes and never come across someone IRL from my social and professional circles who understands this stuff. #Bitcoin has been a blessing in understanding and diagnosing the fiat malaise.
Take this from a former market-maker in US 30yr Treasury bonds at Salomon. This is a ticking time bomb, swept under the rug. We used to talk about the disaster that would ensue if ever there was a "MISSED AUCTION" in 30yr bonds. A missed auction means that there were not…
It's crazy to think that without Bitcoin, Proton might have ceased to exist in its infancy. Bitcoin is a lifeline, and has saved me as well in more ways than I can count. #ThankyouSatoshi
when proton was born the traditional financial system tried shutting us down because we received $300k in donations from people who wanted a privacy-oriented internet and then people reached out wanting to donate bitcoin and that's why we're still around 11 years later
4th of July in Boston. 1st: Snapped this photo of the old State House, now overshadowed by a modern building that belongs to a bank. Very apropo. 2nd: Geometry.
Listened to a "bitcoin Spaces" earlier today with many of the most popular™ podcasters and influencers I almost threw up 🤮 The Spaces was supposed to be about a completely different topic, but they couldn't stop derailing and changing the topic to talk about how great their…
