Today the BIP110 people made a list of economically significant people and groups who currently support or plan to support bip110. Such a list is definitely useful. Sadly it looks like this one is largely a bunch of made up nonsense. Review the list here: v0-bitcoin-companies-table.vercel.app

Possibly the biggest news of the last five years, imo: Lightning Dev Kit might have just fixed the lightning problem where your payment fails if the recipient is offline. They not only have a protocol spec, but code + a guide for adding support in wallets:

That tx spends money from a Nunchuk wallet I made based on a sample miniscript policy they provide in their wallet. As you can see, it has OP_IF in its input script, and its keypath is disabled. BIP110 would break this address and others like it.

Miners at Ocean produced a record number of blocks that signal for bip110 this month redblocks.supertestnet.org

Ocean is now a top 8 mining pool - more miners are discovering how to make their own block templates - and that Ocean pays out more than other pools, since it has lower admin fees - plus they offer LN payouts - and, for large miners, coinbase payouts

Yesterday after the second AI Hack for Freedom in Nashville, I found a group of 20 bitcoiners at a bar that doesn't accept bitcoin. I convinced 8 of them to join me in a mutiny and we all went to Steak n Shake. It was awesome. Hey merchants, when bitcoiners unite, we are mighty!
