9.38% spam in blocks and it keeps dropping. Just yesterday that percentage was over 65%. With filters only at 57% deployed. It looks like you don’t even need a supermajority of filtering nodes to dramatically reduce on-chain spam. Everything the bad actors repeated for nearly 4 years got destroyed in 48 hours.

You were saying? Mind you, this was in 2019. It’s even easier in 2026. You only need to call two pools (Foundry and Antpool) and convince/coerce/pay them to do it. Thankfully, CZ is not important enough to go this far at this point. But imagine it was Coinbase instead of Binance, and these coins were Saylor’s or worse - BlackRock’s. View quoted note →

🚨PSA Upgrade to Knots 29.4.3 before block 979,920 (expected around this time tomorrow) Miners: Upgrade before activation. If you're still on an older version after block 979,920, your blocks are likely to be rejected under the tighter CBM consensus rules. Pruned nodes: Upgrade before activation. If you upgrade after that height, you may need to resync the entire chain history from scratch. Full Archival nodes: Upgrading isn't required, but you'll miss the new spam filters included in this release. View quoted note →

As as result of the raid adoption of the new filters, spam on the XBT chain dropped from 65% to 18% in less than 24 hours. Filter deniers in shambles. View quoted note →

53% of reachable nodes already updated their software that includes the new 180-days rolling CBM and the new spam filters.

XBT Node Census

Every reachable XBT node, counted hourly: software versions, sync, and how new releases spread.

Earlier we got proof that the USG was running an XBT node. Here's proof that Binance runs a Knots node too. As a result, they kept their Bitcoin and only got their Spamcoins stolen. They split their coins but never listed XBT. I guess they enriched themselves at their clients' expense.

“Not Gonna Node” hats sums up BTC perfectly. This used to be Ethereum thing. View quoted note →

Guys like him steered BTC from money to a stock and said they’ve done nothing wrong. This whole space is a complete clown show. View quoted note →

🚨🚨 BREAKING!!! SHOCKING!!! YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS!!! 💥💥 RENEGADE BITCOIN DEV CAUGHT RED-HANDED... LISTENING TO USERS 😱 Knots 29.4.3 is out, and insiders are reeling. Luke has MERGED PR #468. He didn't write it. He personally disagrees with it. He publicly concept-NACKed it. So why did he merge it?! Sources confirm the motive is even more sinister than feared. Out of a whole pile of competing proposals to extend the 100-block coinbase maturity, this one had the strongest community support (or at least the least screaming). 🤢 But it gets WORSE. In a move experts are calling "deeply unsettling slippery slope," he openly DISCLOSED that he has a personal financial incentive AGAINST the change. In writing. Voluntarily. Without a subpoena. 😨 Let that sink in. A maintainer of his OWN project merged something pushed by the non-technical unwashed masses, at a cost to himself, and then TOLD YOU about his conflict of interest. Where are the backroom deals? Where's the "trust me bro"? Where's the merge-it-and-ignore-the-NACKs we've come to expect from respectable software developers?! Textbook dictator behavior. Obvious shitcoin. Avoid at all costs. 🚩🚩🚩 SHARE BEFORE THEY DELETE THIS!!! 👀
