I wanna do some xmas caroling this year, if anyone can send me events in austin that need altos please hit me up!

love it or hate it: jack dorsey sponsoring luke’s pool was the biggest accelerationist act of the decade in terms of moving the chess board forward for bitcoin protocol design around tx relay and block construction

watching the price run and god damn do people love to feel like they’re part of a larger thing than themselves (that’s moving in the right direction)

one time i worked at a really great coding camp, and we had an off week without students i decided i wanted to clean out the coat closet and turn it into a cozy spot for meetings. the space was an open floor plan and meeting spots were in high demand. i spent the majority of the week moving stuff out, coordinating give aways of leftovers, another coworker painted it, i rented a car and made hardware store runs for supplies. while i was doing all this, the majority of my coworkers hung out and had important conversations about how to improve the space. i dont think anything they planned or discussed came to pass the cleaned out coat room was well loved and saw a few different makeovers before the org moved to a new location conversations are important, but action matters more

it sucks to know you’re building the best thing you can and that people are probably going to feel threatened by that

grateful to have lived through the btc -> sats transition

coindesk named me one of bitcoin’s “most influential” this year so of course i took the opportunity to rebrand the lightning work Ive done on “dual-funding” and splicing as Lightning v2 lol 🤣

Lisa Neigut: Reinventing Lightning to Reinvent Bitcoin

The Blockstream developer has been working on what she calls "Lightning v2" since 2019, and it's poised to launch by year's end.

day 3 of being off twitter and i find myself working on an absolutely unhinged bitcoin-core PR 😭

lil video of @Base58⛓🔓 LARPing around with bitcoin tx at the @btcplusplus Mexico City last December #btcpp #base58 #worldfamouslarp #decentralizedmayhem #noderunners #lfg

i really shouldnt shit on Swan because they’re so hapless rn but I’m laughing so hard about them moving custody to the same firm that’s been holding the WBTC stash for half a decade and calling it innovative

regular reminder that the way bitcoin wins is by bitcoiners holding cashflow positive businesses

new website (with talks and an agenda!) is up for bitcoin++, dont miss it!
