I received a few requests to write an article or record a podcast on BIP110, but frankly I don’t see the point right now. Until someone is willing to put their money (no one has taken on @Rob Hamilton ’s fork futures offer) or hash power (not even Ocean is signaling support) where their mouth is, it’s little more than a DOS-attack on our attention and time.

The Knots crowd has become toxic enough that I do in fact hope they fork off. I’ll happily sell my BIP110 coins back to them—assuming there will be enough blocks on this chain for these transactions to confirm—and they can go their Bcash way.

Matthew Kratter (@Matthew Kratter) will talk shit about Bitcoin Core devs and other bitcoiners from behind his monitor reading out pre-written scripts all day long, but he does not even have the balls to come on a podcast and defend his position. View quoted note →

Do you think bitcoin should be used for monetary transactions? Use bitcoin for monetary transactions, then.

FWIW I agree you don’t have to be an anarchist to use Bitcoin. …But Bitcoin *is* an anarchist form of money. If you don’t like that, use fiat. View quoted note →

Yo @Matthew Kratter let’s do this.

In case anyone is wondering, for BIP444 @Luke Dashjr @Luke Dashjr is willing to throw BIP8 soft fork activation overboard in favour of a flag day activation with no miner signaling.

A new Bitcoin, Explained episode appeared! On Bitcoin Core 30, the non-drama edition. With @Sjors Provoost (possibly compromised).

Aaron and Sjors discuss what's new in Bitcoin Core v30

Actual fork futures (as per @Rob Hamilton ’s proposal for example) would be much better, but this is nice too: View quoted note →

Good video by @Mike Beatty.
