Physicist turned bitcoin developer aka "shadowy super-coder", author of Bitcoin: A Work In Progress

Notes (8)

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 https://youtu.be/dUxXGmgv5mo

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. nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzpp59a0hkv5ecm45nrckvmu7pnk0sukssvly33u3wwzquy4v037hcqy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgewaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8xurjdamx7mmnwshxump0qqstac4p6x0qethuhec2p9a62ln0x0d6mkwgnq23v48gsvwxx3s02asx75yle

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. image

> 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. https://antoinep.com/posts/relay_policy_drama/
