GM Prague!

Not on ossify camp but Saylor has a point. We need to treat Bitcoin like updating a plane mid flight or a running nuclear power plant software. We need to be 100% sure there are no unintended sideffects. It will be harder and harder to change Bitcoin and that's the way it should be and we knew it years ago. Devs/scientists naturally want to have more features to built great stuff but it can't be that we risk to destroy or impair Bitcoin. On the other hand I want Bitcoin to scale and as many people as possible need to be able to self custody Bitcoin (at least at layer 2). But as said, there is no way we risk another bug that gets exploited slipping in. It's hard to accept but we can't risk the whole network.

I love this place and community. 🧡🤣

Looks like the Iranian presidents helicopter was Stuxnet'ed?

About one year ago today the UTXO size was 5.6 GB, today it is 11.3 GB. - it took ~14 years to get to 5.6 GB - thanks to ordinals and friends it took 1 year to double that - you can't run a pruned node (and BTCPay Server) anymore on a cheap 20 GB VPS Tell me how it is just degens gambling and not an attack. We not even talk about how the exploit can be used to cause controlled fee spikes or degen fuled long time high fee phases harming normal monetary transactions. It is subtle but it is a huge attack vector nevertheless. Just look how Stuxnet was carried out, those are the attacks we need to expect not the obvious short term effects.

The EU will become a surveillance shithole. On the bright side this will hopefully wake more people up and try to escape it. Using nostr and Bitcoin in the self-sovereign way it was intended to, P2P without any custodians. View quoted note →

I see two options: 1. we coinjoin everything and make coinjoins / mixing unenforcable that way 2. we shit our pants, stop coinjoining and can only use coinjoined funds in dark market or p2p What else?

Seems Samourai founders arrested. While not fan of Samourai attitude this is bad.
