Some bitcoin script porn for the Nostr fam: 
I made a PR for mempool to do script visualization after chatting with @wiz, check out the pull request for all the details!

Who will be the first to collect @ODELL ‘s 100k sat bounty of clipping me talking about “risk free yield” in the context of dumping a fork of bitcoin?
Get paid freaks!
For those out of the loop, if OP_CAT was reactivated, getting a sense it would enable drivechains.
For those of you not on Twitter, within 90 seconds of making a transaction with an appropriate fee, F2Pool took my transaction out of band and mined a block.
Consensus is King!

Guys, miners aren’t going to take double digit % losses because someone does an optional pull request. It will take a day of dev work and coordination and all the ordinals degens will bypass the new mempool and get their transactions in blocks. The mempool though, will die, removing the ability of users to do fee estimation.
Additionally, in the short term it centralizes mining since any new/small miner will no longer be able to use the mempool to ascertain most profitable blocks. Only those with the out of band connections could survive.
This ironically is solved by stratum v2, where the miners as rational economic actors will just put jpgs back in their blocks.
The hubris to think one can out design greed and Bitcoin game theory is astonishing. View quoted note →
Over on Bitcoin Twitter, people are saying you can have a self custody setup without running a node. Have a feeling that Nostr better understands how Bitcoin works.
I'm shocked at the amount of people in bitcoin proposing mempool policy changes without understanding second/third order consequences, or even worse, thinking they know but are wrong.
Merry Christmas Nostr Fam!
