Roger Ver 'calm and politely' calling out Bitcoin Core censorship, even of people who've been around since the early days. He calls out their conflicts of interest and corruption, their deviation from the original version of Bitcoin... And they always go off on these super technical tangents. And they're mean on camera. "Won't even answer a single question". Install Bitcoin ABC, now! (yes, it's still actively maintained) P.S. wow people were young back then

I don't mean to diss OP here, but free market analogies have often misguided people. Sometimes you need good engineering. It really is what led to Bitcoin Cash. But that doesn't mean blindly trusting engineers. You should find out if they really know what they're doing. How to find out? That's a hard problem, i.e. they can't all get on a person phone call with you, some have an abrasive communication style, sometimes a problem seems very simple but take a lot of curriculum knowledge to grok. You can't just trust them either when they say "it's complicated", because that what charlatans would say too. View quoted note →

@Minibits can you add a threshold amount setting below which: 1. You don't send a push notification 2. You don't show the transaction 3. You do collect the zap(s), either in the background or the next online session #spam #zapvertising

Windows is back! Although Satoshi started out with a Windows client, and apparently many miners still use it, most sane developers and security conscious people use Mac or Linux. Over time this led to increasing neglect of Windows support in #BitcoinCore, to the point where some people joked (?) about just dropping it entirely. But it seems there's renewed attention.

This seemed worth clarifying, so I did the thing where I ask a question and answer it myself:

Bitcoin Stack Exchange

Why would anyone use OP_RETURN over inscriptions, aside from fees?

Some (proposed) protocols use fake public keys to put additional data in the transaction output, when it doesn't fit in the 80 byte OP_RETURN limit...

> It is about time that we stop tolerating nonsense and come back to a place where most of us value (proof of) work, ideas, and selflessness instead of overblown emotional reactions, unbacked wild claims and adhesion to various cults. Anyway, in the unlikely event I can restrain myself, this will be my last comment on this topic.

On relay policy and recent OP_RETURN drama

Relaxing restrictions on OP_RETURN is fine. Bitcoiners need to stop being so gullible.

But yes, we need to nice to @Luke Dashjr and his aggressive cult. View quoted note →
