The lengths mETHheads are going to to make their metrics look less disastrous is hilarious. RatioGang.com hides the “lost profits” line in its Fallen BTC Maxi section once ETHBTC drops below 0.025. And now ultrasound.money shows Bitcoin’s supply increase to try and make their failed EIP-1559 effort look like it’s not a failure. Wonder where the goalposts will be tomorrow? 😄

How was it not obvious that their push to even more centralized, less transparent rollups would produce a garbage ecosystem on a garbage L1 chain? 😂 https://www.coindesk.com/consensus-magazine/2024/03/11/where-did-we-go-wrong-with-ethereum-scaling/

Is Breez experiencing an extended outage? I reinstalled the iOS app and restored from backup, and it still doesn’t connect.

Haven’t read too much into #BitKey yet, but am I right in understanding that all three keys are specifically dependent on the continued existence of Block? If Block goes under, and the mobile app is pulled from stores, are you SOL?

Anyone remember what price BitcoinTINA sold his stack (or GBTC) at? Lol

FOMO after the fiat price has surged. Tale as old as time.

Hey dummy, stick to the theme and just call yourself a pruned node.

When I roll my own node in a VM, I prefer to use Bitcoin-Qt and Fulcrum in a live terminal window, rather than installing either or both as daemons. I just like seeing the information and any issues in realtime without needing to check log files or use additional front-end software. Am I stupid?

Bundled node distros are great, but there’s just something about the simplicity of Bitcoin Core and Fulcrum SPV running on a plain Debian instance that just feels… right. Just gotta wait till indexing is finished. 👴🏼

A full LND instance. On your phone. Holy shit!! View quoted note →

Nothing like trying to compile something from source when your level of programming expertise is “Glorified Script Kiddie”. I give up trying to build Fulcrum on MacOS. May as well use Umbrel with a Debian VM where I can just keep rolling back any fuckups. 😅

Are there any Twitter-to-Nostr follower sync services that still work, or did Emerald Mine Baby disable that too? Every time I try to use nostr.directory, the Twitter login popup just vanishes.

Now you can use ConsenSys’s MetaMask to connect to ConsenSys’s Infura nodes and interact with ConsenSys’s L2 rollup. Decentralization is the future!
