This Week in Bitcoin • Listen on Fountain

This Week in Bitcoin is an independent, investigative podcast covering Bitcoin. A high-signal news podcast focused on analysis you'll find valuable.

Working with ChatGPT is like working with an optimistic colleague who takes one step at a time and takes feedback really well. This is me and ChatGPT writing a little Rust program that calculates the final seedword for a set of 11 or 23. The draft was straightforward; if the code failed to compile, I would poke back and get these replies. It is funny how it would say, "You are slicing..." when the code was written by ChatGPT just five minutes ago. However, with a bit of tweaking, I got a working program. - Ah, good catch! That’s due to a change in the crate structure in the newer versions of bip39. The MnemonicType was moved or renamed. - Ah yes — another subtle change in the bip39 crate! - Ah! Got it — thanks for catching that. The issue here is that in the newer bip39 crate versions, Language is an enum, and its word list is not accessed via .wordlist() anymore. - Ah yes — this error means you're slicing a string (&bits[..entropy_bits_required]) at a character index that doesn’t exist. Let's break it down...

Wenn ich richtig gerechnet habe, dann beträgt die Masse aller bisher ausgegebenen Bitcoin zusammen um die 30 kg (

Wie schwer ist Bitcoin? – Bitcoin Weesen

GM - I completed the new backup project using the proxmox backup server software running on a supermicro hardware (this plus Bitcoin = peace of mind 🧘‍♂️)

Today, I analyzed the Ethereum blockchain and found that about half of all bits are zero. This just cannot be sound money.

I could use some help. Every time I try to sign into a new app using nos2x-fox, I get 12 pages of signing requests from yakihonne.com. What is happening, and how can I get rid of it?

My feed here on Nostr is the most intellectually honest stream of info apart from DMs.

GM 🍀 friends - my coffeemaker takes about 20 minutes to get ready - enough to fold stacking sats into the morning routine

I asked ChatGPT to estimate the likelihood of the following opcodes being merged and deployed in the next five years: OP_CTV, 50-70%, simple, well-reviewed, useful for scaling. OP_CAT, 30-50%, more general-purpose, but not urgent. OP_VAULT, 30-50%, niche use case, but useful for security. OP_CSFS, 10-30%, powerful but complex and controversial. Are these reasonable?

intelligent people are sometimes hard to understand because for them, everything that is easy to understand seems obvious and thus not worth mentioning - leaving humorous or higher-order observations; as can been seen here on nostr 🐬

What do you Bitcoiners think of tailscale? Is this software I should consider as part of my Bitcoin setup?

Router died last night - MindlinerTre down, Mountainlake services down 😑, need to upgrade my setup a notch , sorry for any trouble ( https://amboss.space/node/02d695b01c7a6909e716c863fb39bc5fb7bbdc3824b7fdce53adc593e5be080e73)

"Imagine being an expert in the very fields that overlap Bitcoin and getting it wrong not once but continuously over several years in front of a large audience - and costing your family generational wealth along the way. Although bitcoin proponents often carry bias-inducing bags of bitcoin, bitcoin critics often carry much bigger bags of lost opportunity. But unlike bitcoin proponents who can sell their bitcoin for fiat currency at any time, bitcoin critics can't unload their opportunity costs. It's too late. They'd have to change the past. Opportunity costs, like diamonds, are forever." - copied from "Resistance Money" by @Andrew M. Bailey, @Craig Warmke, and @Bradley Rettler

Finally reading "BITCOIN: EVERYTHING DIVIDEND BY 21 MILLION " by Knut Svanholm as the weather allows for it -

Studying Bitcoin has been one of the easiest learning trails to start understand the driving forces in today's world. That is amazing and quite counter intuitive. It is the analogy of throwing babies into the pool to "teach" them how to swim.
