Nothing beats left-side LaGuardia approach on a clear day/night. (This is a wide-angle lens, you’re really right over Manhattan) image

Final reaction: wow, Trump’s team really doesn’t understand bitcoin at all. So much for them being assisted by bitcoiners. View quoted note →

Remember that there are likely to be many Bitcoin Whales in Nashville, making its prime target. Leave your keys at home. Assume your laptop will be backdoored if you leave it alone. Be aware.

For those impacted by the Swan news, I’m sorry. Layoffs suck when you did nothing don’t. But, Spiral is still hiring for LDK engineer(s) as well as the “wizard” role! apply@spiral.xyz

I’m already worn out from Nashville and I haven’t even gone there yet.

A lot of people talk about “attacks on bitcoin”, but they’re usually just people doing something you don’t like. In rare cases, though, these things can have severe consequences for the entire Bitcoin system. This is what an attack on Bitcoin looks like

Curious about this new BIP 353/Human Readable Names thing but don’t have a wallet that supports it yet? Want to see if you set it up right? Head over to to resolve them to legacy addresses! It’s not just BOLT12, either, any reusable bitcoin addresses can go in there (but preferably ones that don’t cause on-chain address reuse)!
