The Bitcoin Bulletin Board of the Internet We're a bit new here. This is a bulletin board, not a spam account. Our aim is to serve everyday users with: - Bitcoin-based local trading in Chicago, LA, and eventually across the USA — think Craigslist, but Bitcoin-friendly. - Local classifieds, buying, selling, bartering, and community announcements. - Bitcoin and Nostr meetups, events, and opportunities. - Useful community bulletins from independent publishers and local organizations. - A simple place for anyone to post a notice without creating an account. We're building Qwibbit.com around an old internet idea: a public bulletin board where ordinary people can find each other, exchange value, and get things done. No algorithms deciding what's important. No social media circus. Just people, places, and posts. A little bit of the old internet, powered by Bitcoin and Nostr.

Long-Term Support for l0rinc Authors NameArvinTwitter@arvin NameOpenSatsTwitter OpenSats is pleased to announce long-term support for l0rinc (pronounced Lawrence), a Bitcoin Core contributor and security researcher focused on performance, maintenance, and review. His first OpenSats grant was announced in January 2025.

When examining IBD bottlenecks across validation, memory use, storage, and P2P networking, he looks for hot code paths to optim

Project rebrand: Nura After a one and a half year selection process, the new name of the operating system formerly known postmarketOS has been announced during the mystery talk of our very own conference. From now on this project is known as Nura! Nuraghe from Macomer by Sailko, CC-BY-3.0 Nura comes as an abbreviation of Nuraghe, which are ancient (3000 BC and older) granite structures found in Sardinia in Italy, many of which still stand today. The deeper meaning is the stability and the resistance to millenniums, which fits well with the our project as the idea has been from the start to keep devices our OS runs Image: image Image: image

Bitcoin volatility explained Bitcoin's volatility stems from global accessibility, lack of circuit breakers, 24/7 trading, and low liquidity. It serves as a global economic thermometer and is in a growth phase. These factors contribute to price swings.
