Not fixing the bugs that are enabling the abuse of the Bitcoin time chain and rewriting the documentation is the dangerous precedent here. Framing it the other way around is just Orwellian newspeak. Hackers do not have rights to abuse the system that have to be protected by the community.
Being able to set up your own Nostr relay for storing your posts is a powerful expression of your digital sovereignty.
The datum gateway from Ocean was really the missing part that brings together mining equipment and your full node in an easy and modern fashion.
Solo mining without constructing your own block template somehow misses the point. Configure datum gateway for solo mining to be a real sovereign solo miner.
"Four Horsemen" is a documentary movie with a collectivist mindset and therefore it seems not appropriate to cite it positively in an anarcho‑capitalist bitcoin context.
On the ground, the Knots vs Core debate is clearer. The applause during the Lugano panel — and if you talk to people — suggests that support for Knots is stronger than what the internet discourse implies.
@Samuel Kullmann The canton of Bern could also deinvest from some of its company like BLS, BKW to buy bitcoin. Those companies do need some competion as they are not really costumer friendly and efficient anyway.
Why is Stephan Livera moderating the Knots vs. Core debate in Lugano? He is clearly not neutral and independet on this topic.
Paying the stay at the hotel in Lugano with Aqua wallet with a liquid Boltz lightning swap almost timeout out, but finally finished just in time. In terms of amout it was certainly a higher one I did so far.
I have chosen my seat carefully for my travel to plan B forum in Lugano
Bitcoin only endures when its community follows the mantra “Slay your hero”. If the bitcoin social layers bows to the authoritarian technocrats bitcoin has failed. Think for yourself and unfollow corrupted people. We already have lost many once leading people on the path and more may fall in the future.

A zap is a microtransaction and somewhat a better appreciation than a like. As
@knutsvanholm still denies the usefulness of microtransactions he should consequently not have a zapping address on his nostr profile. 😉
With more than 20% running an alternative client this pipe dream about an homogeneous mempool has failed.
What will be next major version number of Bitcoin Knots? 30 seems to be a tainted number now. From now on only minor numbers? That would also reflect the ossification process.
Taproot may well turn out to have been the last soft‑fork on Bitcoin. The way the core developers handled the release of version 30 — and that was not even a consensus change — could effectively have closed forever the window on future soft‑fork proposals.
These books printed by Amazon with large margin and fine print font size are a disgrace and basically wastepaper. It is a shame that such books are also sold outside of the Amazon website.
Not many have upgraded to Core 29.1 yet. So far only 332 did. Will Core 30.0 be even worse? Somehow reminds me of SegWit2x.
Bitcoin as a whole is larger than the ego of any of its developer. Long forgotten are Gavin Andresen, Mike Hearn etc. So will be the current ones that still resist to listen to the community and still doubling done with their narrow-minded technical arguments not seeing the social economic dimension of Bitcoin.
It’s somewhat short‑sighted of some Bitcoiner to claim that the ongoing debate is not important and that Bitcoin will be fine anyway. In fact, the very people who care enough to point out the current issues and put in the work are the ones ensuring that Bitcoin stays fine.
