datum users mine on their own block templates, 95%+ of hashrate on OCEAN uses datum
the OCEAN default template was announced to signal for 110 prior to the split (flipping bit4). The confusion during the split was which chaintip that template chose to mine on. some thought it would have been signaling bit4 on the antpool chaintip since it became longer; OCEAN announced they got refunded a few days later

repeating bacon (or any of the other 2047 bip39 words) with an additional passphrase would be only marginally safer as a plain brainwallet (sha256 of a passphrase) which isnt safe at all.
pratically a passphrase 'strong' enough may not easier to remember than seed words
it's not advisable to do rely on passphrases because the speed and cost for checking brainwallets (and its variations) can only get cheaper overtime

ibd is faster on the newer versions compared to the older ones because the assumevalid bypasses validation for much of the spam of the last 3 years.
v28 - block 856760 (august 2024)
v29 - block 886157
v30 - block 912683 (september 2025)
theres incremental improvements for assumevalid=0 across versions but insignificant to most hardware

theres also that funky period between mandatory flagging and rule enforcement where miners (regardless of their stance on arbitrary data) scratch their head about whether or not to risk blocks being thrown away for the sake of flipping one bit 😅

2026-05-30 17:01:51 UTC

- reply

without rdts in a contentious scenario (bip-110 doesnt die immediately) nothing stops that legacy node from throwing away those blocks if for whatever reason bip-110 blocks gets longer. something as benign as insane luck, edges cases for being offline too long, or not hearing about the legacy chain from ill-timed peers etc can trigger this
since the reasons to throw away already-validated blocks can vary, it would happen seemingly at random with little to no notice to the user. This makes the node unreliable as it has to redownload and revalidate invalid/legacy blocks while being unavailable to validate and relay new blocks/transactions from that chain. with enough unreliability from the nodes running invalid/legacy chain; it can lead to wipeout and replacement by bip110 as it wipeout scenario only goes in one direction.
tldr; without rdts theres no mechanism for nodes to hold onto the invalid/legacy chain other than living with perpetual wipeout risk for the sake of jpegs 😅

wouldnt you be able to lean on torrents' infohashes to make sure the data remains the same?
why not pay people bitcoin to perpetually seed torrents? wouldnt that effectively be the same thing without all the technical limits of misusing the bitcoin blockchain and the overhead of validating blocks with irrelevant data for this use case?

some taiwanese still follow folk religions with traditions with historical record going back to the 16th-17th century. (for comparison, the Catholics in Taiwan didnt get to stick around until the 1850s, Matsu worship is probably the closest) In donggang district they have a cool exhibit called the King Boat museum.
https://img.tarounagi.tw/blossm/f61178aa65785759bf7402db42ab97b3c215d0e25121fbb7ca0e7813e7fcbe1e.jpg
The king boat refers to 王爺 which is a deity that wards off disease that is also celebrated in Mingnan provinces of mainland china and throughout southeast asia too (vietnam, Philippines, indonesia, etc). Oftentimes when people talk about Taiwan's "ancient" historical ties to China it's referring to these sorts of traditions which is only a subset of what has been followed around the island across history and certainly unrecognizable to People's Republic of China of modern times
in taiwan, every 3 years they construct beautiful ships as a tribute to the deities only to burn them when completed. Set a giant wooden ship on fire every 3 years as a measure to suppress epidemics 🤭

since DATUM became available, economics of buying hashrate has improved marginally by removing some of the opacity in pooled mining. rather than keep track of work/shares on a pool's dashboard (trusting them), users can figure out reward splits on their own from their own block templates.
previously the only way to buy hashrate and minimize these arbitrary costs and risk was to lottery solo mine but not enough legitimate hashpower has ever been available to consistently find rewards so that hashrate went to larger pools instead.
Cloud Mining scams basically sat in the middle between hashers and pools, it never made sense because those services add an arbitrary cost on top of pool fees. The opportunity for the scams come from preying on customers who dont know how to check if they got what they paid for. (and some of those scams never actually mined)

today went gravesweeping for my great grandmother (1887) which ive never met.
During gravesweeping season there are many to go to, but i look forward to this one in particular because the view is great. its an old site overlooking Tamsui River toward the sea that sometimes hard to find because of overgrowth, and alongside 4 decades of wear, has destroyed most of the paths to it. However a unique pair of angels help mark it. There are angels instead of the traditional guardian lions because she became a Christian late in her life.
the view has changed a lot and the path up here has gotten harder, but the great weather today make it worth it

The 2026 Pingtung Bluefin Tuna Cultural Festival starts April 21st! Planning to visit for the first time next month to see how the tuna auction works.
On April 8, the season's "First Tuna" was auctioned at the Donggang Fish Market, fetching a record-breaking price of NT$10,600 per kilogram (190kg). Definitely inflation in TWD, haha. (0.89BTC)
I started to monitor the pingdong fishermen association for their press releases for fun to get some sense on where food comes from. According to the article, Captain Hung on his 53rd season shared that he wasn't even looking for bluefin! His crew was originally targeting sailfish in the waters southwest of Taiwan when the giant tuna took the bait. After a 30-minute battle to secure the catch, Hung rushed back to port, exhilarated and "unable to sleep" from the excitement. it's great to see how hardworking fishermen are celebrated by the association, more genuine than TV media coverage
The winner of the first Tuna auction went to a local renowned seafood restaurant (佳珍海產餐廳 since '94) who pledged their proceeds of the first tuna of the season to underprivileged children and youth -- what a class act. the restaurant has won the first tuna auction for years, apparently the owner was a tuna fisherman that transitioned to being a restauranteur after a near-death experience at sea. Plan to visit the restaurant this season for Taiwanese Tuna Cuisine 🤤

我自己周圍的人沒有支持國民黨的，但畢竟我住台北，日常接觸的人是有不少支持國民黨的人。
支持國民黨的人我覺得理由很多，50年的戒嚴加上一代以上的洗腦教育可不容易被放棄掉。理論上有些人只能把「中華民國」跟「國民黨」連在一起，所以國民黨以外都是「黨外」或「台獨」也就是說，要中華民國生存下去就只能聽國民黨的話。
今天國民黨黨主席去找對岸的領導人是史上最少支持度最沒職權實力的一位（但有身高啦😂），就是要那些永遠支持國民黨的吞下去。說能說服台灣人相信「跟國民黨才能跟對岸和平一家親」會自己做決定的台灣人不吃這套的。
台灣人觀點有很多種，說只有兩黨（國民黨，非國民黨）一屆比一屆不像。這張用統戰來嚇台灣人，我覺得沒什麼效果。

ive seen people stretch out disk space by moving the large, seldomly-accessed blocks/ folder to a separate disk (often slower) then run bitcoind with blocksdir parameter set so you can keep using your old disk alongside an external drive
i dont know about btcpayserver or albyhub specifically, but imo if you're running a lightning node like LND, you probably dont want to prune your node especially if you have channel states that could fall beyond however long you're pruning for.

another example of philosophy flip-flopping (caveat: Core isnt a monolith -- different contributors now) are the comments Core made on compact block filters.
when compact block filters was announced it was to announce to miners/pools to implement them in order to more closely align with the p2p network. at the time fees were elevated, as some exchanges and pools were stuffing blocks (perhaps to make an argument for big blocks). "follow the <compact block filters> p2p network or risk your blocks being orphaned".
this got turned on its head with the OP_Return PR. "node's compact block filters should follow what the miners are mining"
i think those that throw the word gaslighting around Core proponents is because they arent goldfish 🧐

nope, not a hardfork. bip110 uses existing consensus rules rather than adding new ones making it compatible with all nodes on the network
nodes that enforce bip110 would not ever see the offending block as valid, making the enforcing node only ever compatible with one side of the chainsplit.
nodes that dont enforce bip110 remain compatible with both , but only one side of the chainsplit carrying perpetual wipeout risk. both sides of the chainsplit ultimately cant coexist without a hard fork present
a hardfork would explicitly reject bip110 blocks which would be adding a rule.

ultimately without a coinciding ursf to bip110, the chainsplits cannot coexist.
its just the same utxo set.
functionally, you're not going to be able to interact with the network(s) properly as there would exist no mechanism to prevent your tx to not replay on all networks.
the idea that a stalled bip110 attempt creates an opportunity for proponents to forward bitcoins to detractors is wishful thinking 😅 or possibly pure avarice

2026-02-08 05:41:01 UTC

its not, bip110 blocks remain compatible with exisiting nodes on the network which is why there exist the possibility of wipeout (however small). the wipeout risk wouldnt be solved without a solution like your checkpoint, which is a forced upgrade.
ursf to bip110 isnt a softfork

im pretty sure chinese teacups have no handles because of their generally smaller size and unique shape which makes handles unnecessary.
non-fermented tea (green tea) lightly fermented teas (oolongs, aged white teas) are often brewed at higher too-hot-to-handle temperatures 90c-95c which some choose to enjoy at to get the full spectrum of flavor.
the design of a good tea cup have thin flared edges for faster heat dissipation which isnt present in coffee mugs or western tea cups. there's also a specific "three point grip" to enjoy freshly brewed tea.
so chinese tea cup is less about teaching patience, more so teaching how to enjoy tea properly using physics 😂

random tea fact: in taiwan tea leaves grown at higher elevations are sought after because the leaves are more nutrient dense from growing slower, but there is specialized tea called oriental beauty (東方美人) which despite grown at lower altitudes holds high demand because it undergoes additional natural fermentation with bugs that feed off them leaving compounds that make the tea unusually sweet on top of the fermentation-drying process in oolong tea 🤓

today drove out to miaoli, taiwan where they farm mitten crabs. mostly known as a delicacy in shanghai cuisine, these crabs were mostly known to be from the jiangsu province in china

mitten crabs mature in seawater and spawned in freshwater. during the fall months the mature crabs make their way back to where they come from.
taiwan has it's native hairy crab species, but for a couple decades the entrepreneurs in miaoli decided to farm the more sought species from across the strait.

up until this year ive only bought these at markets and for most of my life only had these crabs in fancy restaurants. fun to enjoy food where it is being produced 🦀

i was on a cooking book binge awhile ago. i learned a lot from a book called "ratio" (ruhlman) which i have saved as an epub on my phone along with others from libgen.
instead of looking up recipes from search engines which are almost always terrible slop, i search the book(s) instead and keep digital bookmarks 🤓

in the core vs knots context, datacarrier encompasses more transactions in Knots than Core
in the only-looking at core v30 context, datacarrier now allows multiple outputs instead of one to be treated as standard transactions to relay across the network as unconfirmed transactions (among peers that also acknowledge those new standard rules)

if you feel a way about the spam, take the time to learn how to apply the patches
it's good homework 🥳

im referring to the code comment change to datacarrier in v26 which limits datacarrier to outputs (meaning input-styled arbitrary data storage schemes like inscriptions would not be in scope)
on another note, v29.1 has the minrelay fee changes (reduced from 1 to .1) backported

so users should just stomach the datacarrier code comment changes in exchange for security patches?
what if users simply dont want to relay garbage (inscriptions, stamps, large op_returns, etc) as unconfirmed transactions to their peers? shit out of luck?

i wonder how they prepare crab there 🤔
my only reference is a lobster platter i had in baja california, mexico like a decade ago that came with beans, tortilla, and salsa

depends on the crab.
these freshwater mitten crabs are mostly farmed, its sustainability comes down to economics as mitten crabs technically are invasive to Taiwan (taiwan has its own native species of hairy crabs 毛蟹 so ecological damage is somewhat limited)
ocean crabs have size requirements to meet and there are harvest quotas throughout the year -- there are even times out of the year where females aren't sold
🤓
...and then theres imported seafood
