The more you learn about Bitcoin security, the more you become a SeedSigner (or more broadly a general-purpose air-gapped computer) maximalist: generate the seed entirely offline with dice or other analog entropy, and ideally never load it onto a device that remembers or stores it.
Even when you spend, use a stateless device so the seed only exists temporarily in RAM and is wiped on power-off. Add a strong dice-generated passphrase and/or a geographically distributed multi-sig quorum, and you have ironclad security for your stack.
Single sig. did not fail at all. What failed were pk generated by the wrong function.
The era or device-generated seeds is done.
Long life to human generated entropy.
Watching the BIP110 crowd complain about their fork is getting embarrassing.
Lads, nobody cares. Go activate your fork today, switch the PoW as soon as you can, and move on.
Nobody is going to follow you.
The rest of us have more important things to do.
I wasn’t around for the Mt. Gox disaster, but what’s happening with
@COLDCARDwallet
today is a catastrophe.
Self custody just took a serious hit.
Wen CTV?
I am wondering how a company that makes money securing bitcoins, did not run a stupid LLM against their hardware wallet firmware to look for bugs.
Also, why the hell do ColdCards have a fallback insicure element that generates entropy wtf.
#BIP110 people when the image is split into two pieces
#BIP54 (Consensus Cleanup) fixes 4 old Bitcoin consensus bugs:
- timewarp
- poison blocks
- Merkle quirks
- duplicate coinbases
I built a small dashboard + interactive simulator to explain them:
bip-54.com
Do you already know how the consensus cleanup works? #asknostr #bitcoin
"The question isn't whether a proposal reduces spam, improves efficiency, or changes OP_RETURN limits. Those are implementation details."
Huge pivot. It literally is about exactly that. You/others argued the technical albeit poorly for months but let emoytios and clouded judgment interfere, and now that they went against you, you're suddenly against "implementation details."
"The real question is: who gets to shape Bitcoin's future?"
No. The real question is whether the network is robust enough to fend off an attack that lacks consensus. The answer is yes. You and every BIP-110 supporter are enemies of the neutral protocol.
No bitcoiner cries harder than a former fighter pilot in spaces
Strategy buying BTC and adding it to the large pool at Coinbase Custody does absolutely nothing to spread Bitcoin adoption, and actually helps build the honeypot for a future 6102 attack. Real Bitcoin adoption looks like self-custody of real BTC, plebs running nodes, plebs buying
Imagine how dangerous it would be for Bitcoin if a minority could impose a fork on everyone.
What makes you think Saylor and Larry won’t try something similar, for example, to ban certain transactions or blacklist addresses?
Pro 110 should consider both sides of the coin.
Time preference is the most important concept nobody talks about. Hard money lowers time preference. Lower time preference builds civilization.
"Big Bitcoin" is just another way of describing the economic majority. And because that economic majority is sufficiently decentralized, it's incredibly difficult to coerce into adopting a contentious fork. That's one of Bitcoin's greatest strengths.
The shitcoin market has been milked so much there isn't a single drop of milk left to drain lmao
Stripping the emotion from the 110 fork debate, the proposal is technically useless.
No protocol should patch one specific issue that can be replicated countless other ways.
We have far bigger problems focus on what actually matters.
Average pleb bought BTC in 201*, held, smoked weed, and is up 700%+. Memed hard, wrote “few” like maniacs, and fucked through the pumps.
Saylor & crew spent $60B trying to own the protocol, now down 50%, and still lecture us on what Bitcoin is.
Fucking losers. We shit on you.
How to defeat the newly created Bitcoin cartel?
- Keep pushing SV2 & Datum
- Plebs running their own nodes
Would you take a vaccine if you knew the virus could still infect you through another route?
