Sun day activity, digitize a 20-year-old mini DV on macOS. Easy task!

If you think Bitcoin's blockchain is for storing arbitrary data you are failing to understand it at an astonishingly basic level. 85,000 nodes storing gigabytes of crap that has nothing to do with Bitcoin with the various tools they'd use to defend themselves getting removed is…

Pay 50% in taxes and contributions when you work Then pay 20% VAT when you buy anything Then pay 30% on interests if you manage to save something Then your children pay 20% when you die Come to Europe!

I had a dentist appointment this morning and casually mentioned the Bitcoin circular economy we’re building here in @BTCComoxValley . Dentist was stoked and asked me if I could help set up his clinic (which also happens to be the biggest and best in town) I’m paying today’s…

Ready to mine like a true cypherpunk? We’ve put together a complete guide to help you connect your Bitaxe or Nerdqaxe to the @ocean_mining pool: A low-fee, non-custodial, Lightning-enabled pool that puts you in full control. Learn how to configure block templates, reduce fees,…

When you put a webserver up on the internet. anywhere, hosting anything, you will see "the background radiation of the internet", and it looks like this:

This is a boost in usability for the @ocean_mining miners, LSP + lightning node that is not CLN + lightning swaps! nothing better! Solving Lightning inbound capacity and rebalance in a single tool Great work @getAlby

One of these pools is not like the others: Their relay settings don't matter, because they don't even run the Bitcoin node on behalf of their hashers.

Inscriptions and runes are so worthless now that the apologists are trying to get people to relay near-zero fee transactions so that old, worthless ones can be consolidated by the thousands into single utxos and new ones can be minted for mere pennies. Run Knots to send the…

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…

What better time to make a release than during #bitcoin ATH 😉🚀 Alby Hub v1.18 is now live! 🔩 BOLT-12 offers (yes, you heard it right) 🔁 Integrated Swaps (both ⚡ to ⛓ and ⛓ to ⚡) ⚡ Lightning Addresses for sub wallets ⚖️ Channel Rebalancing (beta) 📱 New (AI) Apps in App…

Coming soon on node distros!

As predicted, due to the lack of sane relay limits on arbitrary data spammers and not transactors are the ones taking the most advantage of sub 1 s/vB relay. Every tx in green contains arbitrary data of some kind:

Seems many are intent on YOLO-killing two more filters. Min tx relay and consequently the dust filter. I'd rather not make dust attacks infinitely cheaper than they already are.

2025: The year of getting rid of spam filters that "weren't doing anything anyway."

Check the date. Monetary maxis scrapped the absurd 1 s/vB minimum feerate way before it was cool 🤷‍♂️

I haven't seen anything like this in startup/entrepreneurship before I don't think. 🪢Bitcoin Knots has had 700% growth in 100 Days. 🥊Under the most adversarial conditions 🚂At a standing start against a moving freight train. 🤏With 1/1000th the capital injection. There's no…

Tor playing the exact same games as Core. Stop blindly trusting open source devs. Of course important FOSS projects are considered high value targets by malicious actors.

"it doesn't matter because you can grab OS info from CSS anyway" = "it doesn't matter, miners can just include those transactions anyway" Same exact game.
