> If development were primarily about choice the developers ought to instead just ship a copy of GCC: there tada, you get all the choices, write your own node. :) /u/nullc Jokes aside, it's a good post. https://old.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1kab15o/bitcoin_cores_github_mods_have_been_banning_users/mpou6xb/

Dutch hipster bank #Bunq just added support for buying and selling crypto in collaboration with Kraken. There seems to be no way to withdraw coins, which not even their FAQ seems worth mentioning. It says something about the "crypto" market in general that any company thinks they get away with that. https://together.bunq.com/d/61673-bunq-crypto

My first impression of Bitcoin Core, during the blocksize wars, was also that of arrogance. It's an unfortunate side-effect of people losing patience when having to re-explain something a hundred times. Time they're not spending on writing code, and energy they're losing to remain motivated to write code. The project is run by volunteers who do not have time, and should not waste time, for maintaining useless functionality. Having people in the project that are (somewhat) comfortable in delivering such bad news is extremely important. I've been on the receiving end of that too internally. You do not want Bitcoin Core to be a please-everyone kind of project. That's a recipe for unmaintainable code and really bad bugs down the line. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzqwafhr84szpt6dlwcxz9tvntkp9y0a9gaq66cxx8afp5see7u93rqyv8wumn8ghj7enfd36x2u3wdehhxarj9emkjmn99uq3vamnwvaz7tm9v3jkutnwdaehgu3wd3skuep0qqsx0pehy50ydcg2e8q0djcv05h2ylrjeaapruvejszlj87dkyjf7zcr8na9k

Always great when stuff gets merged after two years, especially after a few months I tend to forget what my code is doing. Shout out to Daniela Brozzoni for the diagram. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzpamvs5te0hrehvy2la54am0l23qehs653dsyczpxhfddzssgvfe3qytkummnw3ez66tyvgaz7tmrv93ksefdwfjkccteqy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qpqjyq5ya7h5v26kgjhlgujdye4xe354jsavg2kas03j73s6hhagq0qkqjsn9

Sorry, but it's time to move to bolt12 and BIP352. Ironically since I replaced my self-custodial BTCPay based zap setup to LNBits, I do still rely on LNURL. Happy to try a bolt12 based self-sovereign setup when there's a spec.
