This morning, I watched my node synchronise to the Blockchain. I watched the process from block 441200 to 442000. And for a brief moment in time I thought it was finished synchronising, it showed “Synchronized 100%” which would’ve been weird because at this moment we’re at block height 931.514, and it only took around 22 hours to synchronize which is pretty quick. So I knew something was off. Upon refreshing, it immediately came with new blocks, new numbers, the correct numbers 🫣 449348 down, approx 482.166 to go. 14.62% synchronized. The saga continues 💪🏻 ps, I knew it was coming. I just felt like writing a bit about it 🤷🏼‍♂️

While my node is still downloading… I tried setting up the @YakiHonne wallet, for temporary usage. If someone could be so kind to send a small itty bitty test zap, that would be nice. ✌🏻 #zaps

The numbers aren’t right for some reason. But after 12 hours, I’m at 7.6%. @Umbrel ☂️ #bitcoin #core #noderunner #umbrel

So… I messed up, redownloading the whole thing again smh #bitcoin #core

@Umbrel ☂️ I don’ know how or why. But for some reason I can’t seem to view anything in rhe #mempool anymore… tried reinstalling the app and all, but without success… If anyone would have an idea what I could do to fix it? #asknostr #bitcoin

GM decided to take my @Relai 🇨🇭 #coffee mug with me to work today, let’s see what happens 😄 #coffeechain #stacksats #bitcoin #relai

GM! ✌🏻

First GM of 2026 ✌🏻

Here’s something the mainstream media won’t talk about: Exactly 17 years ago, the Bitcoin Genesis Block was mined. Happy Bitcoin Genesis Day everyone! Some of you will probably know this, I don’t… But is it a coincidence that the embedded message came out as “Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banksyyyyy” Is there a connection between those two? Probably not… right? ₿ #bitcoin #genesisday #studybitcoin

Good to read about this! I’ve always wondered.
