Didn't enjoy Tombstone

Great contest. Van den Berg brought so much momentum.

Great contest, Kolbe was huge!

Got around to updating my mining setup: bitcoin-node-> pool_sv2 -> bitaxe This is _so_ much better than a year ago! A lot of engineering going into many different components to make this happen.

Scoreline doesn't flatter them, but Stormers did well with a half stacked crew.

New fall of civ 😊

v32 is shaping up nicely. landed: - Removed libevent - Removed boost signals - Added support for BIP 434 and 323 - A >30% improvement in IBD and validation speed - Improvements to the txospenderindex, shrinking it by 20% and making its creation faster - Continued p2pv2 rollout - A host of improvements to the ipc mining interface likely to make it: - OpenRPC specification for automatically creating and documenting RPC clients - Proper mempool based fee estimation for avoiding over-estimating fees - Support for caching RPC responses - Fixing a bunch of RPC and REST denial of service bugs - Reducing txindex size by over 60%, as well as making its creation faster

Cash on the internet. No auto-updates.

Took an evening stroll over the hills and saw the ISS rise up from the Jura.

The notion that the filter split wouldn't have happened with more alternative clients is ill-conceived. There are many alternative clients. To my knowledge exactly two of them (core and knots) allow significant policy tweaks. Exactly one of them filters aggressively.

'n proper klapping

Bitcoin Core now tracks the ability to compile the script interpreter to a bare metal target. This allows for transaction script validity checks in constrained environments, be it embedded, enclaves, or proof generation engines.

One of my goals doing maintenance the past half year was trying to get through a lot of the pull request backlog. Managed to get through a good chunk of it, but the rest seems to require increasingly more effort. The project needs to find a better way to reward and surface good and dedicated reviewers. Review work is tedious, often boring, and not something that can be easily measured. This makes it hard to both surface to the public and for developers to build their prestige around it. I am curious how I can improve my leadership in this respect. I found the pull request review club not effective in this regard. The amount of effort spent on preparing it usually did not pay off. We need to find some way to better reward review.

Looks like v32 will ship a big improvement in block validation and ibd speed.

Really didn't expect Bafana to pull through anymore.

Got rid of libevent. That leaves just the boost multi index headers as an external dependency for bitcoind.
