Y'all saw me build Mario Kart: Double Sats in public and take it to events globally. I've been met with an overwhelmingly positive response, and now I need your support. Asking for help is always vulnerable and scary, but if my work has inspired you, let's team up to push education forward! 🍄 Please consider supporting me in bringing joy, knowledge, and of course bitcoin to the people who need it the most! ⚡🌍 image 🔗 Donate:

Planning on coming to @TABConf 8 - Oct 12-15, 2026 ATL and competing in my Lightning-enabled Mario Kart tournament? Besides glory, the top 3 players will walk away with exclusive merchandise designed by @Brianna HD of @Evento! 🏆 No buy-in is required to play, but the latest feature I can't wait to share with you is (optional) in-game betting! ⚡️🤯 💰 image RSVP here:

Earnest question: If we adopt BIP177 (which I already have) and start expressing sats as integers with the ₿ symbol on the left, what’s the best way to handle millisats? Showing them like ₿0.001 feels too confusing right now. Any ideas?

I have upgraded Mario Kart: Double Sats to reflect the changes outlined in BIP 177. 🫡 image

It’s rad/mystical to me how Zeus allows for circular payments but lncli does not. I love it @ZEUS 😍

Sometimes I wish I was a raver. It seems like such a fun subculture. And the people seem extra friendly. But I do not like the music. 🤔

Why I'm for loosening the OP_RETURN limits ⏎ - In practice, OP_RETURN is already unconstrained: see Carman's OP_RETURN bot or Portland's Slipstream. - Encoding arbitrary data via OP_RETURN is far more responsible than doing so in witness data, as it's 4x more costly. - OP_RETURNs are prunable and do not pollute the UTXO set, making them vastly preferable to faux outputs that burden every node indefinitely. - Mining non-standard transactions that bypass mempools undermines decentralized transaction propagation, disrupts fee estimation, and increases block propagation latency (especially when compact block construction fails due to missing transactions). - This latency disproportionately impacts smaller miners and encourages direct submission to large, well-connected players, widening the profitability gap and increasing centralization. - Layer 2 protocols are especially sensitive to fee miscalculations, making transparent and measurable fee behavior essential to their reliability. While I share the distaste many have expressed toward tokens, inscriptions, and BitVM (when used as a casino), I care deeply about minimizing harm to bitcoin’s base layer. Allowing larger, standardized OP_RETURNs is a pragmatic step in that direction.

I regret to inform you all that moving forward I have reduced my Damus default (non-custodial) zap amount from 1,337 to 21 sats per zap. ⚡️

image Update: Okay. Mario Kart: Double Sats now streams you sats in real time for every second you're in first place. This may be the coolest thing I've ever seen. 😭 Thoughts: - Writing Python is so easy, it feels like cheating - I don't vibe code—writing out every line is too much fun (plus, vibe coding can cause issues later...? Also, AI can't fully figure out stuff like making this game yet) - Sending glitches to the game over Lightning (like I did with Super Mario Sats) I have not figured out yet, and I'm not sure how practical it will be - Who wants to play this with me?! In person first before I put it online
