Ok so where can I find Bitcoiners here on Mauritius?

Has somebody built an @Amber equivalent for iOS? 👀 iOS native app ideally. ✌️

A perspective on bitcoin governance

The bitcoin approach to decentralized governance

A perspective on how governance in bitcoin is supposed to work, or at least what my understanding is of the governance approach that has made bitco...

🧵 I published my perspective on Bitcoin governance. Where does Bitcoin derive its censorship-resistance from? And how do we preserve it? Sharing some frameworks I've found helpful 👇 The main insight: Bitcoin's unique value comes from censorship-resistance, and the two magic ingredients to achieve it are: ✅ Free users ✅ Free software -> Censorship-resistance requires free users -> Free users require free software Traditional governance asks "who decides?" These systems are easy to co-opt and can therefore never preserve censorship-resistance. Bitcoin governance asks "how do we preserve free users?", and this is they key to preserving censorship-resistance. For developers, this means: -> Optimize for user agency -> Default to user choice over "optimal" outcomes Remember: we're building infrastructure for freedom. These are just my current thoughts - governance philosophy evolves with experience - but it's clear to me that censorship-resistance is a derivative of free users. There is a leap of faith required in bitcoin’s governance model. We must trust that when users are given genuine freedom and access to good information, they will make choices that preserve what makes bitcoin valuable. Users who want bitcoin to remain censorship-resistant will choose software and rules that maintain that property. Users who prefer other properties may make different choices, but the network’s evolution will reflect the aggregate of all these individual decisions. When we take the leap and trust that free users will make the right choices, Bitcoin succeeds. I would love to hear perspectives from builders, users, and researchers working on or thinking about these problems.

One downside of running a bitaxe is that I don't hear the mosquitoes sneaking up on my ear any more

Who remembers the Lightning Hackdays Istanbul? 200 devs came together in Istanbul Turkey when it was impossible to come together in Europe, organized by Fulmo team @calle learnt about e-cash from Eric Sirion Burak learnt about Lightning and went on to design Ark And last but not least, the chad team from @Alby was conceived there Watch out for @btcplusplus this September!

Good nostr clients / apps that allow user to connect their own wallet with NWC? already tested Amethyst, Flash and Damus

No more prizes for predicting rain. Only prizes for building the arks.

Recently I heard @ODELL celebrate Elon's X takeover, saying "he's absolutely crushing it". In reality, Elon is helping governments crush the voice of dissent and opposition. The X block of Istanbul's mayor is coming after his imprisonment by Turkish gov last month.
