Happy to see the jet trails dissipating quickly. The sun appears to be too strong for the fly pot ash spreaders to think they’re making a difference.

So Andy, how are things going for you in No.10? Already firefighting and management by exception? Well, that worked so well for his predecessors, buckling under pressure for every policy change. I’m seeing a general election in the near future. Also, standard “next heatwave” warning. The world is literally burning, so might as well have a barbecue!!!! Note, not on the side of the toerags in the photo.

Gm nostriches, maybe feeling a touch of a blood loss hangover from yesterday (compare to similar days in the clearly noughties, easy street), but feeling ready for the day. Maybe a bike ride with the small people (ice cream from a van not off the table to motivate them for some exercise). #coffeechain kicking in well, start9 maintenance beginning, and love listening to @npub1cn4t...3vle , my staple Tuesday morning companion……. If I wasn’t “on holiday”, there is definitely a piece worth writing on the state of play, whether coldcard, bio-110 or more generally……. The last few pieces I’ve written are certainly coming together well. Run pre v30 , support independent miners, ditch your corporate “Bitcoin holdings”, roll the fucking dice, and be your own hero, no idols freaks. No one followed best practice, so time to step up! Multi vendor, passphrases, multi sig, but also with records of how it all works. https://fountain.fm/episode/kh4oAVTb6l0aJDKMtloc

Gm nostriches, into the fiat mine this Monday, a bit of marking but before this giving blood, meaning no #coffeechain to start things off with.

“Endeavour to persevere.” Josie, why did you come back? I don’t have anywhere else to be. What am I going to do when #bitcoin fails? Don’t know, haven’t got there yet, so until it happens, staying here, fighting everyday, improving my understanding. I haven’t got anywhere else to be. The Outlaw Josie Wales

Life goes on, Sunday morning #coffeechain and pancakes for the kids. And yes, that’s “super” cluedo in the background……. Ffs, also are these the memories I’ll look back fondly on?

It is not about BIP-110, it is not about the money, scratch that, it is about the money, because Bitcoin is not just a database, but it is also about sending a message, holding the line, maybe downgrading from knots29.4, but taking agency and setting your relay policies in line with what you considering appropriate for a money network. Bigcoin has not won, core has not won, the more nodes that push back, the greater the impact the nodes can have on the bottom feeding, non-node running miners and corporates. Can’t get them to change by force, how’s about getting them to change by continually reducing their profitability 1% at a time.

Gm nostriches, great show @Daniel Prince , the genetic modifier injectable rabbit hole is a wild one with dr. Jess Rose, can very much relate after reflecting on the third injection I got and what I thought was the mother of all hangovers that lasted for days post a Pfizer vile…. Happy that is now pushing 5 years ago so hopefully most of that crap has worked its way out. Face palming when a slightly younger (fat) colleague tells me he’s still getting “his jabs”. “I’m going surfing again” now that’s what we all need to do. https://fountain.fm/episode/3Qt8FiXnFGe9PMWtdVXj

Bio-110 mandatory slgnalling may not have worked, big corporate miners did their thing, there probably wasn’t even a thing where they got the call, the pool they hash for kept on using their v30 node. May sound like cope, but consistent with this piece, while you could keep running bip-110 and wait for a change in POW change, you could also reinstall v29 or pre #bip110 knots to stop relaying large op_returns and slow blocks with sub 1sat/vB transactions. Node is law, exert our power and hamper those miners (and pools) who are pro spam. View article →

What a time to get a slow block!!!

Don’t make movies quite like they used to. #superman2

Gm nostriches, happy Saturday freaks, coming around after a strangely long sleep, while late to the party, the Matthews walker book is very good, although the sleep is lingering longer than I’d like. Enjoying a morning patio with #coffeechain and #theweek, loving the Jason Arda, Cambridge prof saga, like them not checking CSW’s speaking engagements before him saying he’s lost work due to what @hodlonaut said. As an academic, this all stinks and the fact he turns it around to race as his defence is low. Maybe he’s so “divergent” he can’t separate truths and lies would be a better defence. Hope all those Cambridge professors questioning the EDI appointments have received apologies. Doubt such things will ever happen with my employer, the straight white man will continue to be given shit. Ah well, not what happens but how I react. Keep plugging away on the thankless tasks, knowing the integrity will see me through. Hopefully get a little bike ride with a kid today after some serious upgrades to her bike from the garage parts bin!!!

Made on the 4th of November 2025x but until I shared it. Signed were there long before #bip110 emerged and bigcoin circled the wagons around their golden goose that would allow them control of the protocol……. “Well technically, it is simply a database, so all data that conformed to consensus and pays fees is valid”. 🧐🤦‍♂️

Really looking forward to @Simon Dixon connecting the dots in this exploit, but also the behind the scenes characters who fund and are set to benefit, well, outside the suit coiners, but also those behind the scenes beyond blackrock…… well, beyond my 19 minute scribblings.
