I'm just reading about knots grabbing 20%of the network. I don't think supporters all know that #Bitaxe really took off last year. In order to mine to datum, to your own node, you have to be running Knots, it won't work with Core. A good number of #Knots node have liquely sprung up just for that reason.

@rafael_xmr @npub1hlty...j4k2 @npub12ggp...0294 @Cyph3rp9nk Could you please help me figure out how anonymous atomic swaps can be ? If I exchange BTC for XMR using it, my utxo goes to a regular seller of xmr doesn't it ? Thanks guys for helping me figure this out.

I've decided to run a m#Monero node now next to my Bitcoin node. How many years will it be relevant if I make it 500Gb SSD compared with 1Tb ?

Very good warning by Charles Hoskinson on the power grab by western governments over our individual rights. Twisting Churchill's famous quote, "never in the history of human kind has so much power been given by so many to so few". https://www.youtube.com/live/mFiLJasSNmM

BIP 110: "It actually increases rather than reduces legal and regulatory risks. By attempting to filter "bad" data it actually invites more regulatory pressure - if government authorities believe that Bitcoin can be changed by pressuring a few entities, they will almost certainly try to do so. Neutrality protects the network - selective censorship doesn't." Jameson Lopp. Imho the most important point raised by critics of BIP 110.

Was running Knots so I could mine to Datum with my #Bitaxe until recently. I switched to Core now as I subscribe to @npub17u5d...t4tp 's view that you can't censor spam, you can only incentivize it's obsolescence. Change my mind! #Core
