Parmesan is the best cheese.

We have 141 contributors to bitcoin core in roughly the last 12ish months for github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin going back to v24.1 I just realized I'm denoted as one of them on the 26 release. 😅 Many like me may only have trivial commits, but it's still pretty cool to be associated along some very talented people. 26 contributors are active on 3+ releases in the 12 months. I'm planning an award ceremony at @TABConf 8 - Oct 12-15, 2026 ATL this year to help bring to light some of the hard work done behind the scenes for Bitcoin and related projects. Starting the tradition this year.

Let's try to see if I can put Nostr to work: I'll send sats to every valid suggestion. If you were giving out 3 awards for bitcoin that were technical in nature, which categories would you come up with? Bonus sats if you come up with 4 candidates for your proposed achievement categories.

I would really like for a bunch of hardcore nostr hackers to come to TABConf this year, please spread the word, and show some love give a follow to our TABConf account. @TABConf 8 - Oct 12-15, 2026 ATL

Inevitability needs action to become reality. Don't sit on your hands and do nothing, come build the future you want to see. October 23-26, we will have a focused builders conference in Atlanta GA. please don't make an arbitrary excuse not to come. We also have a grant program for those who need it.

@npub15wak...2evu Get tickets, and plan your trip this weekend.

1. Miniscript is pretty amazing. 2. I want you and me to start working more with Taproot. 3. I want to start working more on Nostr. 4. Profit.

See you Oct 23. @TABConf 8 - Oct 12-15, 2026 ATL

Zap Me Bitch!

Random nearly useless #Bitcoin Blockchain trivia Part 4. The first block to fill over 99% of the maximum space, 1 MB, was block: 228,538. (2013-March-29). It wasn't until, block 363,270 (2015-June-30), over 2 years later, that a perfectly full 1,000,000 byte block was mined.

Random nearly useless #Bitcoin Blockchain trivia Part 3. Block 2,513 was the 1st with a timestamp (ts) behind the previous block. Block 2,512’s ts was 10s ahead. This is allowed as ts must be > median of the last 11 blocks and < NetAdjTime + 2 hours.

Random nearly useless #Bitcoin Blockchain trivia Part 2. Block 2,817 was the first block to contain a fee, 2.01 BTC. The next block to contain a fee was 12,983, nearly 3 months later!!! This block contained 0.03 BTC as it's total fee.

Random nearly useless #Bitcoin Blockchain trivia Part 1. Block 32009 has the highest hash / least difficulty out of any Bitcoin Block. Target to beat was: "00000000ffff...." hash of block was: "00000000fff9e..."

I just posted an article on @Stacker News on my thoughts of Nostr in it's current state.

Stacker News

I changed my opinion on Nostr \ stacker news

Initially, I was quite skeptical about Nostr, mainly because I didn't think it could scale or develop a good uX around a global feed. I was also so...

I think polls on nostr would be cool, anyone working on this? @primal @Amethyst @Damus @npub1sn0r...jtws @UNCLE ROCKSTAR @Coracle @Terry Yiu @Jameson Lopp I saw something about it through nostr.how that lopp posted, but unsure how to do them.

@npub1wz8v...4qjt implemented #NostrWalletConnect #NWC

correct me if i’m wrong, right now alby doesn’t give their users a nip05 or populate any kind0 data for their users?

Is there ever a time that someone has a lud16 and it doesn't match their nip05? Can anyone point me to a user like this?
