Who's gonna tell him?

@Vitor Pamplona Is there a way to get Amethyst to remember the last known note/position upon reopening the all? I enjoy the animations and transitions of new notes loading but frustrating to have to scroll back down to find the last thing I read? (I prefer to scroll through chronologically)

I regret to inform you that shitcoins are still out their doing their thing. I've been having email discussion with an American company about when they'll accept #BTC for payments after they announced they'd be adopting a BTC treasury. They then released this today: I responded with this: I received this in response and just can't bring myself to engage further. Anyone want to take a crack at it? #asknostr #bitcoin

Song boost! Props to V4V artists being better than most fiat slop on the radio these days, even when I don't particularly like the genre

I was already running Knots and Datum for my miners for true solo/lottery mining. After the last two weeks following the debate on Twitter and podcast I just can't see any good, consistent reason for maxing OP_RETURN size AND nuking configuration options. It's clear they want to homogenize all mempools which makes mining centralization even more of a problem. Need to get back to original vision of nodes being in control and nodes/miners being more coterminous.

Knots is not maintained by "just one guy". This is a misunderstanding. Please have Bitcoin Mechanic/Grassfed Bitcoin on to get the other side on this. The real issue is mining pool centralization, which is what Stratum v2 was trying to solve, but now Datun has basically solved, and you run that along with Knots. Fix the mining pool issue and you the "spammers will be incentiized to go directly to miners" argument becomes moot.

Shinobi is like Bitcoin's version of Reddit atheists and lolbertarians doing a "well akshually". The fact that he admitted he can't steelman the opposition tells me everything I need to know. Doing that is histrionic moralphagging, "It's so absurd I can't even...they must be crazy!"

After seeing the announcement in January that Heritage Distillery (https://heritagedistilling.com/) was adopting #BTC standard for their Treasury, I added them to my list of preferred (BTC-adjacent) vendors. However I noticed they didn't accept it as a form of payment. Yesterday I used their online form to ask when they plan to accept as a form of payment. The CEO responded to me within an hour or two. He was very curious about my thoughts on BTC, why/when I would use/HODL, and if my friends did the same. Was a very productive conversation. Below is a screenshot of the end of the conversation. They are on the path to implementing it. I even pointed him to one of Parker Lewis's articles and recommended Zaprite (@ODELL @Marty Bent let him know) It turns out you can can just do/say/ask things.

Bitcoin adjacent products are mainly there for institutions that can't hold Bitcoin directly or for tax "advantaged" 401ks/IRAs held by us wage-slaves. When I'm getting %6 match from my employer you better believe I'm putting all that towards Bitcoin ETFs or MSTR. So long as the fiat gains track with Bitcoin AND the system doesn't blow up, there's a good path to one day cash that out and convert into Bitcoin, then live off it by using BTC-backed loan products, inflating away the fiat debt so long as BTC CAGR outpaces the interest. Of course, all other take-home pay goes directly into BTC. These products have their niche, and I think that's what Saylor and Mallers are tapping into
