Gents, I'm going to need tutorials on how to get a blake2b rig rocking and rollin. We are talking start9, datum maybe or other mining software, wallet, how to not mix Bitcoin with corecoins that I may or may not still have, ect. Somebody get Paul Lamb on the line. We need you Paul

2 more roughneck blocks!

Dam Oceans hashrate is close to the same on legacy/bip 110 chain because there was a large drop on the legacy side. Is it because luke left for the HF? Are miners saving up for the PoW change to mine on that one? What an interesting time to be in Bitcoin. So much experimenting and learning we are going to do in the coming weeks and months. It's going to be really exciting atleast. Bitcoin is definitely not boring right now

As the dust settles from the events of the 8th, I’ve been reflecting on where Bitcoin stands. Some are concerned that Bitcoin is already captured and that node operators have lost control, but I prefer a glass-half-full view. We won the block size war in 2017; this fight isn't over. Supporting Luke Dashjr and others on the hard fork initiative is crucial to saving Bitcoin, but we need a multi-front approach. While Bitcoin isn't a democracy, perhaps a 20% consensus threshold is no longer sufficient to drive the changes we want. Did the previous BIP lack the teeth necessary to rally support? Was the conservative timeline—expiring in just a year—a turnoff? Personally, I thought the CAT proposal was a strong, compelling idea. We need to attack this problem from every angle, including proposing new BIPs from the inside to curb spam and restore a sound-money culture. This project is simply too important to abandon. While I won't be buying more BTC in its current state—and plan to trim my holdings on pumps unless a real cultural shift occurs—we shouldn't give up just yet.

Dam almost 7 EH/s on the bip 110 chain rn. That's quite amazing. There are really a lot of people who care and still believe. Amazing go see

Excited for 0930 when the market opens in the US to see what the price of Bitcoin will be in USD. That seems to be what matters now and who gets to move it

Wait till you see what monetary maxis are about when freedom go up is removed. Pump my bags

Curious to see where we go from here in the next month or so. I'm not going to pretend to be technically advanced enough or creative enough to think of how we salvage this. I guess I'll just keep my bip 110 node and mine with my bitaxe for now. After that if nothing comes of it, I'll probably just turn off my node and bitaxe, wait for near or around all time high to sell most of it and diversify. Maybe keep some in cold storage and some in the etfs. Why bother holding a coin in self custody when the coin itself is captured anyways. Sorry so doomerish, it's just how I'm feeling right after all this. The only positive feelings that energize me about this is just thoughts of it still going up and selfishly getting rich just because the instutions are now ready to let it go higher. It would no longer be about freedom go up or destroying the central banks. Maybe it was niave to think we ever could

I'm about number go up now. Freedom go up is dead. Change my mind

Jesus Christ roughnecks you maniacs

Any ideas why the price didn't even move after the CC hack? I think we can at least definitively conclude that it is just hardcore holders and institutions left. The question remains to be seen whether who controls the network: institutions or sovereign node runners. I think bip 110 activation is going to be a real test of who is actually in charge.
