Incentives matter If your a dev and your making a decision on a Purely technical reason but your economically Illiterate and you do not understand what money is. And what kind of properties money needs to have You may make a decision that gives you side effects that are unwanted and i think that is what happened with #bitcoin core v30 I think to a certain extent thats what happened to taproot I wish more technical people in #Bitcoin were more economically literate and i wish more economically literate people where more technical @knutsvanholm@iris.to

October 10, 2025 Gloria Zhao merged a change relaxing default limits on how much non-financial data could be embedded in op_return outputs before a #Bitcoin transaction would become non-standard.The word “censorship” appeared in a public letter defending the change #XBT #Blake2b How did Gloria Zhao become the person who merged that change? How did Bitcoin Core, a project with no company, no CEO, no formal hierarchy, come to be directed, in practice, by a small and unusually cohesive group?

Ask why the wallets, devs on #BTC side making any effort to replay protect btc coin. The only ones providing you with ways to replay protect your coin are on the #XBT side. Ask yourself why every simpfluencer on btc is telling you not to even bother with replay protection.@LapiuPepe (on x)

#XBT #Blake2b #Bitcoin Longer maturity doesn't have much purpose beyond making it possible to cancel payments. And much shorter than 1 year doesn't give enough time to coordinate the cancellations. Ordinarily, all softforks should really be _released_ with a year lead time before activation... ,Luke Dashjr

The #PHP2Shell bug was reported back in 2019. I am starting think that it did not have a whole lot of action causing issues because it seemly got ignored! unofficial it was reported by a user on hackernews "6 years ago it was deemed to be too complex to exploit and therefore not as high priority.",blantonl also Sounds like was also mentioned in 2024 audit just think of all the We have no idea how they got in hacks. This could explain them #PHP2Shell I am interested to see how far back this was possible to exploit. if it effects php5.4 thats already 13 years and i am sure its more then that!
