I haven't seen this mentioned on any Space or tweets, but if you generated your seed on an impacted ColdCard but later moved to a different vendor and imported that seed vs generating new, you're still at risk and should act accordingly.

When I was researching my week in review this morning, came across this: Open Bitcoin Metrics by Diego Llanos. I don't think I've seen it mentioned here but thought it was cool and would share.
Hopefully one of you super coders can turn this into a Start9 package to run on nodes.

"Today we are announcing that OCEAN’s backend will be upgraded to follow multiple chains independently in the event of a BIP 110 chain split. If a split occurs, DATUM miners automatically continue on whichever chain their own node enforces, and OCEAN will credit rewards to a split share log for that chain, subject to the chain’s continued operation and to our Terms of Service. OCEAN will effectively operate as two pools from the split point.
Updated Terms of Service addressing split handling will be published before block 961632. We are building all this so our miners can receive rewards based on their own actions without adversely affecting other OCEAN miners."

It definitely seems like it was an overreaction to the announcement of the out-of-band offerings like Mara's SlipStream.
Was it really encouraging it though? Or was it hoping that those misusing other, non-pruneable fields like witness data would take the olive branch and move their data use there so at least it could be pruned by those not running full archival nodes? Again, probably another overreaction that came out of the temporary Ordinal craze.

Being personally disgusted is not implying anything.
He is very open that he believes the sole purpose of marriage is to bear children. Everything referenced are his words. Unfortunately, there are multiple states in the US that allow 15-year-olds to wed with parental or judicial consent. So if he still believes that a 15 year old is of standard marriage age, his statements are pretty clear.

This is something we both can agree on. I do wish we would see more Bitcoin node implementations and I've held that belief for quite awhile.

Best solution? You can make a case that implementing BIP-110 turns one problem into two or more.
Currently: "Spammer" creates one TX and puts data in op_return. Data gets pruned by non-archival nodes.
BIP-110: Instead of one TX with that op_return payload, they chunk it across multiple transactions and/or even worse, use fields outside of op_return.
Result: While you were aiming to save archival node bloat, you now introduce bloat elsewhere. First, if they use other fields like witness data, you now have UTXO bloat for data that cannot be pruned. Second, by forcing additional transactions to do the same work, you ramp up CPU/Memory overhead bloat, which could stress fringe (older hardware, RasPis, etc) endpoints.
Fees also likely increase because more transactions are being submitted driving up costs for those monetary transaction users. Look, do I want Bitcoin used for this shit? No. But do I get the technical realities and what Core hoped to accomplish? Yes.
If you believe I'm wrong with the above line of thinking, by all means set me straight.

There is some irony in your first statement based on the actions towards several Core developers over the last year. At least in their case, what they did (sic: their lifestyle) wouldn't constitute illegal activity.
As for the rest of your statement, that is a matter of opinion. Core ended up with v30 because non-monetary use cannot be stopped without a hard fork and completely redefining the script language. Luke has been working on the "spam issue" for 12+ years so if you have an actual solution, I'm sure he'd be all ears.
Miners started offering out-of-band services to include "spam" in blocks. This could make mining less fair and more centralized as people will just skip sending it to the entire network to have the opportunity to mine. Byproducts of everyone getting the opportunity means faster speed and more accurate fees.
Finally, everyone loves to throw out Bitcoin being permissionless and censorship resistant but certainly don't truly believe that. I'm not interested in centralizing development to one fucking lunatic so he can strip away what actually makes Bitcoin valuable.
TL;DR: Bitcoin's permissionless design, consensus rules, economic incentives, and the flexibility of its data structure and scripting system make it impossible to make eliminating "spam" a technical reality.

2026-07-12 03:22:14 CEST

Some disgusting tweets by Luke Dash were unearthed that I had never seen before last night. While there is very little probability this BIP-110 effort is going to be successful, if he ever gets in control of Bitcoin like Knots/110 supporters want, I think I may have to move on.
I also never want to hear the CSAM talking point again.

Start9 is saying it should work fine and my OS isn’t current. I checked that first and it said current so I may have bigger issues with my node.
May need to completely blow it away and reinstall from scratch.

2026-07-03 22:27:28 CEST

An interesting anecdotal tidbit on the whole Core vs BIP-110 saga, especially if you use Start9 OS.
As you can see in the first screenshot, I do not have Knots installed. However, they are displaying it on the Updates tab which should be for installed packages only. They also don't allow you to update past Core 29.3.1. If you want to run a newer version, you are forced to sideload. You're telling me you couldn't ready a distribution package for something that has been out since October 2025?
Considering Start9 is basically the defacto recommendation to run nodes, suppressing default service versioning while recommending a non-installed version is antithetical to self sovereignty and freedom tech. "Start9: Sovereign Computing" is their tagline after all.
It also makes me understand why there many be so many Knots v29 nodes showing on Wicked's dashboard that haven't signaled for BIP-110.
Will definitely no longer recommend Start9 at the Vegas Bitcoiners https://blossom.primal.net/346b4f76765848329bcc111609c59ab5c95bc129bb18d2d11b22b2759e10ebfd.jpg meetup as I have for over the last two years. https://blossom.primal.net/65cd3e3e9abeaec2962b74f331953636d6a72271fa79cbefa9ad4c1d1d630d39.jpg

First, let me preface by saying I've long said Bitcoin should be money only. Now, I know you think what you're saying sounds good in theory, it's simply technically not feasible without massive structural changes.
Bitcoin's design prioritizes permissionless, censorship-resistant transfers of value, which inherently allows flexibility for data. That wasn't introduced with Core v30 -- that started with the Genesis block.
To get it done technically, you'd need a hard fork where you'd have to redefine the script language entirely. You'd have to rip out taproot/segwit, remove opcodes and other fields where arbitrary data can be stored, create very strict templates (basically just to, from and amount).
If you don't do this, you are chasing the problem forever. In doing this, you also lock Bitcoin to that 200-220 million transaction throughput without revisiting the block size wars. There is a reason why this is a "temporary soft fork" -- because a permanent solution doesn't exist.

2026-07-02 22:00:31 CEST

- reply

Technically, miners do have a reason if they are completely self-serving. The "deterrent" could actually lead to them collecting more fees.
Someone posed a nonsense question (how much for a 101kb transaction) to me on X that I did the math on -- chart below. First, that never happens:
"Essentially 0%, overall and since Core v30 (Oct 2025).
Stats Sep 2025–Feb 2026: ~24.4M OP_RETURN txs, only 396 (~0.0016%) exceeded old 83B limit. Those averaged ~5.3KB; 10% >10KB. No 101KB+ seen (historical max ~80KB). Fees keep large ones rare.
But second, as I also said in response, Bitcoin is the only chain in the world that matters. If someone wants something stored in perpetuity, they're going to pay whatever the fee is to make it happen in the rare case. Now, they'll just chunk it out so it fits under Mein Führer Dash's permitted size limits.

One of @nprofile…w2ua Ego Death investors handwaved it away on X saying: "They’re using a minuscule amount of data inside the original OpReturn limits, to store a tiny fraction of data that ties to a hash that verifies the validity of very important information. It’s a massive service to validate real world data. There’s nothing “arbitrary” about it."
So as long as the arbitrary data fits according to the BIP-110 overlords specifications, it's okay. Apparently it only magically becomes "spam" when it is of a certain size. And to think... she told me it was a good size.

2026-06-30 02:14:40 CEST

Which is still non-monetary use. Luke, Mechanic, et al have publicly stated multiple times Bitcoin should not be used for non-monetary transactions. They've also stated on Spaces they will continue to squeeze until they find a working solution. So they are the judge, jury and executioner of how block space can be used?
The ultimate point is BIP-110 solves nothing. Now instead of having the ability to prune that data out of the larger op_return, "bad actors" will be forced to chunk it across multiple fields/UTXOs which will then be immutable. I lose optionality as a node runner. So if they truly believed the CSAM talking point, they now guarantee it will exist.
Finally, it also keeps the same core issues they point to with the larger op_return field: 1) greater fees; and 2) blockchain bloat. When you mention this, they state the fees would then be the filter which is exactly what non BIP-110 people have been saying about the current implementation.

2026-06-30 00:54:32 CEST

Either it is non-monetary spam or it's not. BIP-110 was explicitly designed to restrict non-monetary (arbitrary data storage) transactions on Bitcoin.
You don't get to be a proponent and then fund companies that are using the blockspace for non-monetary use cases.

Hey @nprofile…w2ua Since you are now supporting BIP-110, has Ego Death Capital divested from Simple Proof? After all, they use op_return to store the hashes and other data for digital documents and records. Seems like arbitrary data and not a monetary transaction, no? #bip110

It was expensive a couple years back when Ordinals, Inscriptions, et al were the shiny new toys. Then people realized all of it was garbage and fees went reverted back down to where we're at. But they paid it.
By moving it out of op_return, you will force them to chunk it across multiple UTXOs which will push fees up again. If they deem it important, they will pay it again.

2026-06-27 17:21:01 CEST

Incorrect. The data migrates into fake public keys, spendable scripts, or whatever else they can code to accomplish the task.
BIP-110 devs have even stated this which is why they have the 1 year timebomb in their code. Luke's own words say it is a forced deadline/window to develop and deploy a better, longer-term solution.

Posted this on my X account so just dropping it here, too.
1) If BIP-110 does block spam (by their definition) by restricting arbitrary data at the consensus layer, does that actually eliminate spam or does it just mean those "bad actors" will chunk the data across multiple UTXOs?
2) If said bad actors do this, doesn't this mean that said UTXOs could potentially cause bloat since it will cause increased UTXOs to accomplish the same task while losing the OP_RETURN prunability?
3) Finally, since CSAM is used as the defacto illegal use case, does this also mean all nodes will now store said data with zero ability to remediate?
I believe the answer is yes to all three of these questions which renders BIP-110 as a technically insufficient solution. Look, do I think Core mishandled the rollout of their changes last year? Yep, most of the devs have the situational awareness and emotional intelligence of a banana peel. They placed zero value on social consensus and it has led us to where we are.
That said, I fully support BIP-110ers in their right to fight for what they believe in and to push for its implementation... if that’s what broader consensus in the Bitcoin ecosystem ultimately wants. BUT, be careful what you wish for, especially for those that have advocated for this solution via the CSAM angle.

Works for me. I've sold every other fork so I'll get to stack some sats for free because of this moron.

Yessir! We have our happy hour (open to everyone) at 6:30pm right down the block at the Circa Legacy Club. I would definitely be interested in meeting before hand as they do not have food and I'm a growing boy.

This is what Nostr shitpos... err, I mean "Proof of Work" and a Bitcoin circular economy looks like. At our weekly happy hour, we have a free Bitcoin/Nostr swag table.
Our swag table has been looking really sparse as of late:

I took all of the zaps I've received for the last year and forwarded them over to @nprofile…37j2 who hooked it up! Look at all of this ooey, gooey Bitcoin goodness:

Looking forward to looking at all of the newest drops tonight!

Just finished up the Vegas Bitcoiners Week In Review for tonight's happy hour. Pretty diverse set of news headlines over the last 7 days. What do you think was the biggest $BTC headline this week?

Been pricing out a new machine myself for like the last year. Wish I had pulled the trigger before RAM shot up to the same price as a Dodge RAM.

Watched Schwab's CEO talk about launching their Bitcoin buying. Now they've since announced they will be undercutting everyone on fees and will be offering teen accounts. If their spreads are competitive, Coinbase and other exchanges could be in trouble.
I know Bitcoiners don't like it, but 2026 is going to be the year of tradfi really showing up to Bitcoin. We've now had 3 major banks announce Bitcoin initiatives, products or services in the last couple weeks between this and the Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs ETF products.

Even if you don't have the time to consume the whole thing, reading the "15 Top Takeaways" from Stanford's Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence department is time well spent. Will be interesting to see how the industry tackles the physical roadblocks that are in the way -- namely hardware manufacturing and energy constraints.

Curation, content discovery, and this:

If you're not sure what that means, what was your "the relation between an individual and society" phrase because that is precisely what that is defined as.

2026-04-17 16:05:36 CEST

Sure, but that value doesn't necessarily have to be worth anything monetarily, or rather, would be assigned a very low monetary value if it is a non scarce output.
What you said, though, is the response to those that come back at those talking about AI job loss asking "what will people do with their time?" -- They would be able to focus on "doing what they love" and not be constrained by chasing 1s and 0s in the tradfi ledger provided their basic needs are met.

I've listened to a lot of the AI leaders and experts and they have all explicitly stated that the social contract will have to change in an AI-dominant landscape.

2026-04-17 15:52:37 CEST

So what is the realistic alternative if the future tech stack does live up to the hype? Corporations will shed people-related costs and there will not be 1:1 job replacement. If there truly is massive abundance in non scarce goods and services, it doesn't really make sense to create new businesses centered around those, either.
This sounds like it leads to Government intervention and massive overregulation of the tech to protect the pre-existing social contract/societal norms.

Were they giving odds on one of the neckbeards or Karens being outraged?

FYI: If you're coming to Vegas and want to partake in the Bitcoin shake Steak 'N Shake announced yesterday, only the Fremont Street and Cannery locations (franchisee owned) take Bitcoin. The South Point and Oyo locations (casino owned) do not due to Nevada Gaming Commission regulations.
The optimal solution is to grab one before you head over to #NosVegas on Tuesday night since you'll already be downtown on Fremont. You are going to NosVegas, right? RIGHT!?

He sent me a picture of some funny looking beige vegetable. Sorta looks like a deformed carrot. Is this the same thing?

I'd be willing to bet they've nerfed so they can put compute toward Mythos and what they consider higher value work. I'm on a free plan and I only get one prompt now before I get rate limited. I used to get at least 10-20 pretty elementary questions before.

Nostr search is absolutely worthless with the X crossposting that are just dead npubs. Making content discovery even more difficult. Didn't think it was possible, but it has become an even more frustrating user experience.

If you're planning on hosting a side event in Vegas during Bitcoin 2026 week, Tuesday is jam packed with 4 major events going on in the evening. Surprisingly, Monday night is still wide open though.
