Post something I can zap the fuck out of

I don’t recall Satoshi asking for anything.

That is a slippery slope ..

THE CORE DEV DILEMMA: SATOSHI'S GHOST VS. MODERN PAYCHECK PATREON CULTURE—A TALE OF TWO BITCOIN ERAS. 1️⃣ SATOSHI’S WORLD (2009-2011): No Grants, No Begging: Code was written by: Cypherpunks (after their day jobs). Anons who believed in the mission (not the ROI). BBS Parallel: You paid to host your board because freedom wasn’t monetized. 2️⃣ 2024’S HUSTLE-CORE REALITY: Devs Now Expect: OpenSats donations → "Or else we’ll quit!" Corporate sponsorships → Hello, Chaincode Labs-flavored "neutrality." Unspoken Truth: Many aren’t cypherpunks—they’re career open-source mercenaries. 3️⃣ LUKE’S WARNING (DECODED): Translation: "If you don’t pay us, we’ll get bribed by Blockstream (again)." Irony: The very "decentralization" they preach relies on centralized funding. Bitcoin was built by people who burned midnight oil, not by grant-chasing devs with GitHub sponsors. The second group works for Bitcoin. The first group was Bitcoin. P.S. Next time a dev cries poverty, ask: "How many of you still mine with a GPU?" 😏 (The old guard built. The new guard bills.) ₿⚔️💻 BONUS HISTORY: Hal Finney ran Bitcoin nodes while dying of ALS. Today’s devs won’t code without a 401(k) match. Let that sink in. View quoted note →

Ain't nobody got time for glowdell and OpenSats. Just make up a lie about being hacked and get lemmings to send you donations. Problem solved. View quoted note →

Dude thinks opensats isn't a bad actor, SMH.

I was just checking out the site and wanted to see if you accepted lightning, and it was so quick and simple that I had to donate 1k sats 😂 only a dollar, but it was so genuinely satisfying that I did 100 sats more and made a video of it

Turns out I completely forgot how to use kdenlive and this took waaaay too long lol

They*

To be clear, I'm not affiliated with OpenSats myself

Yea, that was a bad typo lol

How much influence does Jack have over your development if he funds you?

Satoshi didn’t stick around and help maintain the protocol. Didn’t show up for its 5th, 10th, or 15th birthday. Technically he’s the deadbeat dad of bitcoin.

"if you love something set it free"

He went out one night to get milk and never came back.

If I was Satoshi I wouldn’t want to be around when the Feds first showed up either 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes I believe that was his last post to the mailing list. “Getting for stuff for dinner. BRB babe 😘.”

😂😂

Left Andresen as a single mom to raise a protocol when the heat came down. Just like the rest.

He did the right thing by not being around when the Feds started to realise what had happened. Hopefully he managed to have a spare wallet that nobody knew about and is living the good life on some beach somewhere! :)

Smartest thing they could have done

That’s what you get for trusting someone who puts pineapple and jalapeños on pizza.

Yeah with his new protocol. What’s her name!? “I’ve moved on to other things.”

The first of many 🚩🚩🚩🚩

Hope he’s happy with this new life on the beach. Who’s putting this protocol through college? Not Mr. Nakamoto.

Bitcoin just got out of kindergarten ffs

Sir, that math ain’t mathing.

Yes it does

thanks for the work 🫡

Step Up Peeps. This is a call to meaningful action!

I love Knots but the latest update crashed it. Running it on Umbrel ( I am a pleb without programming skills) I had the Blockchain in a different Drive and am not finding how to fix it I was able on Core with chat help to move the Blockchain to the other drive and the switch to Knots was easy. But struggling to fix it on the new version Most likely will have to reinstall everything from scratch and on a single drive Would be very helpful if one could select the storage device on the installation process. Specially thinking that many will have to upgrade de drive to larger ones at some point in time

The last update to Knots was in March... Sounds like this is an Umbrel-specific issue.

There is probably a bug. Every time I open the live transaction viewer it crashes after some short time. But when I start Knots and do not open that live transaction viewer it runs like forever, months without problem. At least thats my experience. I use Debian based Linux system and just use the qt binary from the latest release.

Lightning Network is a superb, lightning fast, robust way of strong privacy anonymity global payment system. And easy as pie. Soon enough the normies will undestand that too.

It probably is. I will keep digging. We’ll make it work … Hard though for regular Plebs ..
