Back in September I publicly offered to enter into a wager with anyone who was claiming that Bitcoin Core v30 was going to result in a massive node crash / network outage. Nary a Knotzi took me up on it, to my great chagrin.
Today I'm making a similar, but better, offer to BIP-110 supporters. I propose we enter into a trustless fork futures contract. I'll take the side that will make the deposited BTC only spendable if BIP-110 fails, you take the side that's only spendable upon success.
Minimum 1 BTC wager to make it worth my time. Come take my coins and show us your conviction! Who will have the guts to put their money where their mouth is?

Comedy gold. After missing out on bitcoin gains for 15 years, the guy behind the Buttcoin account on X has launched a memecoin.
And in typical Buttcoiner fashion, he's so far behind the curve that he launched in a bear market. What an idiot, he won't even get much out of this grift.


As a security engineer, I thrive upon being attacked. Novel attacks, while scary in the moment, pose interesting challenges to devise defenses against.
Not being attacked is boring. Bring it on!
This is some great security advice that almost nobody ever talks about. These are accounts you should create in order to prevent malicious attackers from creating them with leaked info.

Should we worry about Bitcoin's security budget? I won't worry unless miner revenue drops epoch over epoch.
1st epoch: $0B
2nd epoch: $2B
3rd epoch: $16B
4th epoch: $46B
5th epoch: $27B so far
We're on track for miners to earn slightly more revenue than in epoch 4.


The best Superbowl commercial this year was for prostate cancer 😬


WTF was that Coinbase Superbowl commercial
The final accessory needed to complete one's sauna experience.


Went to an art show today and a few pieces really spoke to me...
