That certainly suggests that a soft fork *can* succeed with even less than current support levels. Does that mean you also expect a similar last minute shift to occur for #BIP110? I guess so, since you mentioned there&#39;s no down side to miners to signal.<br/><br/>The picture is starting to come together. Just need to tie off a few more loose ends.<br/><br/>You mentioned that miners can lose up to 13% fee revenue. Is that due to the 13% of RDTS nodes that won&#39;t submit transactions to non-signalling miners? Or is it something else? And if that&#39;s the case, wouldn&#39;t that be a temporary situation, because those transactions will eventually be routed through other non-BIP110 nodes? <br/><br/> 2026-06-24T01:00:17+02:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqqvjjeqa0n94f64dmnmpgktr09ca64qnaxu0gqkq4r0e0pzmj4mczyp26g5xracy2qklpdj09kr3a2yp25r2zk48q6yyhr9umhx8p3x9rxrzl4zl In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsff02clltjfcyq9d6qdxy9vme2e637342l5nkzx6jzma6893qtdcqvy05z2'>nevent1q…05z2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m still missing *why* they would act that way, but it seems like <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqsggcc8dz9qnmq399n7kp2yu79fazxy3ag8ztpea4y3lu4klgqe46qpr4mhxue69uhksmm5wf5kw6r5dehhwtnwdaehgu339e3k7mf0qys8wumn8ghj7mrfvfex2un9d3shjtnpv9ex7mnfw4kkj6fwvdhk6tcf7h34j" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>BitcoinUniversity</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…h34j</span>)</a></span> just posted a video to explain it.

Instead of letting the adblocker inspect traffic itself, extensions now have to hand Google's browser a limited list of filtering rules and hope for the best.

The company that profits from every ad you see also controls the browser most people use, with Chrome 149 being the last version supporting adblockers.<br/><br/>For example, under the new rules, uBlock Origin cannot exist. For millions of people, that extension is the only thing standing between them and a wall of ads, trackers, and autoplay garbage.

Android matters because it's open source and allows sideloading without Google's permission. That's why Nostr apps, FOSS tools, and freedom tech took root here.<br/><br/>#GrapheneOS works because it preserves that ecosystem without breaking continuity. But now Google's forcing developer KYC for the Play Store on certified devices. The choice becomes: KYC to Google or start over.<br/><br/>This is what breaks mobile in a way desktop never broke. On Linux, you can run open-source and closed-source software on the same primary system. On mobile, once the app ecosystem is gated, custom AOSP ROMs don’t get that role.<br/><br/>The result is a split by design. As I predicted—for the foreseeable future—stock Android becomes the primary device for most. Privacy ROMs get relegated to secondary use, not because of capability—but because of access. <br/><br/>For those whose threat model demands it, privacy ROMs remain the primary device. For everyone else, they become secondary—appealing to those willing to sacrifice convenience for privacy and security, but not the masses.<br/><br/>Obtainium dying on stock Android is the warning. After this, the rest is just enforcement.<br/><br/>The catch now, however, is that with custom ROMs you’re rebuilding the entire app ecosystem from scratch.<br/><br/>On Linux, you can still install closed-source software. On mobile, once you step outside the Google/Apple ecosystem, you’re not just losing a store—you’re losing the distribution, licensing, and services stack a lot of the apps people actually use are built around.<br/><br/>That’s Linux on mobile, but without an easy way to carry over the apps people already paid for, depend on for productivity, and use every day.<br/><br/>That’s the challenge in front of us right now.<br/><br/><a href="https://keepandroidopen.org/">https://keepandroidopen.org/</a><br/><br/>#IKITAO </blockquote> 2026-02-26T16:09:55+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs00rwlg3vx5r3d87pc2pxkmfft7cpljj4j2cwrs2v3zfa3ay84k5qzyp26g5xracy2qklpdj09kr3a2yp25r2zk48q6yyhr9umhx8p3x9rxwqefuh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxxf4x8288t262mpupcv0c2wlvj3gcx4fhe9ts82z8m5pzh3r5fyspxfmhxue69uhkcmnzd968xtnsv9cx2unnv968xtnfduhkummnw3exxmrfv4h8gtmpwp5j7a339aex2mrp0y48hku4'>nevent1q…hku4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Customers <br/><br/> 2026-02-24T17:45:00+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsf87cycmf9xhnwrzz7sl9f59kyuvtjjw6ek76agemz257ltczxtkczyp26g5xracy2qklpdj09kr3a2yp25r2zk48q6yyhr9umhx8p3x9rxz3myua In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0vfr7j69x8rj2hk30uz5q877l4y2xll3rkvdk4g79lsrg9x23g5gtglq8e'>nevent1q…lq8e</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Thanks for getting me to figure out how to set up zapping ⚡😎 <br/><br/> 2026-02-24T15:15:39+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2ersmlykwutj6em3q4k75xq23gpwa6a5s3jzfm9jqf065vpn73gczyp26g5xracy2qklpdj09kr3a2yp25r2zk48q6yyhr9umhx8p3x9rx4ylycd In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqe0l2gq2qxux74kv2c5cwaz7cth2kfs2fk3x4kzx4kq0t4874yzscjgfgm'>nevent1q…gfgm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Something that allows me to zap (for example) a Bitcoin Tech Talk post to get access to the subscriber version of that post.<br/><br/>Brain storming: Dunno if it&#39;s possible, but maybe DM articles to npubs that give sufficiently big zaps.<br/><br/>Rationale: I don&#39;t get around to reading all of the BTT posts, and definitely won&#39;t support Substack, but would probably end up zapping a bunch of individual posts for subscriber level access. <br/><br/> 2026-02-24T14:55:25+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsrp4u8a2a5wse8nxepvhc77nvehw98waf9hlgsenvrt6majr9d9gszyp26g5xracy2qklpdj09kr3a2yp25r2zk48q6yyhr9umhx8p3x9rxlc9fcc In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrd06ug8wxqzgfjrm5ueje0j4xayu90vcev9d2m4lkdtmstcdstqs2g9fve'>nevent1q…9fve</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yes! #ForkCore29 <br/><br/> 2026-02-24T14:12:09+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqdehn9vj0mvhzyf674msh7ncdk2g8ze056qgp5cthp97mqw2xccgzyp26g5xracy2qklpdj09kr3a2yp25r2zk48q6yyhr9umhx8p3x9rxu2vwqp In the government bureaucrat&#39;s mind these hacks and leaks mean we&#39;re just one more law/regulation away from everything being perfect.

What is IDMerit? A KYC verification company. One designed and promised to keep your data safe.<br/><br/>Welcome to the dawn of AI powered identity verification. Cybernews researchers found a totally unprotected MongoDB database in November last year. With.. get this.. 1 terabyte. 3 billion records with 1 billion containing sensitive personal info across 26 countries.<br/><br/>So what sensitive information? Pretty much exactly what you would want to protect. Full legal names, home addresses and postal codes, dates of birth, national identification numbers, phone numbers, email addresses and telecom metadata.<br/><br/>The USA had 204 million records exposed. Mexico 120+ million. Philippines 72 million. Germany 61 million. Italy and France 53 million each. So is it any wonder kidnappings are on the rise in France? Hell the French tax office is implicated in exposing private data.<br/><br/>This wasn't some sophisticated hack. Not some zero day exploit. It was literally a database being left open on the internet with no password. The companies that are supposed to protect your identity can't even protect their own database.<br/><br/>So yeah, what we get here is not another isolated case. This is a pattern. Let's look at what happened in just the last couple years alone.<br/>Coinbase May 2025: employees in India bribed to steal KYC data. 69,461 users. Government IDs, social security numbers, bank details, transaction histories. Cost: $180-400 million.<br/><br/>Transak 2024: 92,554 users' government IDs and selfies stolen from one phished employee. Signzy 2024: major KYC provider breached, customer data from banks appeared on the dark web. NCX Exchange 2025: 2 million records leaked including KYC documents.<br/><br/>Indian Financial Institutions 2025: 500GB of KYC data exposed through a bad storage bucket. UK 2025: a GB of selfies, IDs, passports, and driver's licenses dumped on dark web forums. Just sitting there for the taking.<br/><br/>Then like just a few days ago completely separate from the IDMerit leak, at Abu Dhabi Finance Week more than 700 passport scans and government ID cards were found unprotected on a cloud server. These were world leaders, politicians, and major business figures.<br/><br/>So yeah, you're talking about billions of records in the last year alone that have been leaked. These are just the ones that have been reported so far. It's really not if your KYC data gets leaked. It's when.<br/><br/>Like every company out there that collects your passport is making a bet. Of course they don't WANT your data to get leaked. But they are just betting. Betting an employee won't be bribed. Their database won't get hacked. But the odds are against them. Every. Single. Time.<br/><br/>But you know what? You can't change your passport number. You can't change your face. You can't change your date of birth. When a password leaks you can change it, but when your ID leaks you're compromised for the rest of your life.<br/><br/>In 2024 finance overtook healthcare as the most hacked industry. 30% of breaches now involve third-party vendors. What did Satoshi say about trusted third parties? Well yeah... here we are. Now owning bitcoin can be dangerous if your data falls into the wrong hands.<br/><br/>Last week I shared that KYC catches less than 0.1% of criminal money and costs 100x more than it<br/>recovers. I showed you how it can be used as a weapon against protesters, political opponents, and legal businesses. Well look at this. It couldn't be more clear.<br/><br/>The data isn't safe and it was never going to be safe. 1 billion records sitting on the internet with no password just again proves that. But this is what I just don't understand. We have the evidence. We have years of it. Breach after breach after breach.<br/><br/>For a lot of you it starts with your inbox full of phishing emails. Your passport on the dark web. But for some it starts with being dragged into the back of someone's kidnapper van with your pinkie finger removed.<br/><br/>What's even more bonkers is that today as I'm writing this, PayPal has disclosed that for more than six months a code error exposed customers' Social Security numbers, names, addresses, dates of birth. How did they respond? Sorry, here is some free credit monitoring.<br/><br/>In 2023 the Swedish police raided Mullvad VPN with a search warrant. They wanted user data. They left with nothing because there was nothing to give. The answer is never better security. It's never stronger passwords. The answer is to never collect data in the first place.<br/><br/>So yeah, if you're reading this and you're thinking like well what can we do at this point? Is it too late? No, it's not too late.

At least in all of the Bitcoin economies I&#39;ve seen.<br/><br/>So your anecdotal data conflicts with my anecdotal data in at least 2 ways. Who is correct?

Not one of them accepts Monero.<br/><br/>That is of course not to say that your claim is definitely false, just that 4 merchants is a really small dataset to make strong conclusions from. <br/><br/> 2026-02-08T22:01:21+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs8lk5jn6gl29pz499xrlz5ypt7y94a8kf63y2jzv98prprun90pxszyp26g5xracy2qklpdj09kr3a2yp25r2zk48q6yyhr9umhx8p3x9rxw4fuaq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsp76lp8gyles88ezar6ky2qpvww5nmrh58ead8x3u262ccnmchvxgmvfwkj'>nevent1q…fwkj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Because that &#34;value&#34; is determined by consumers, and our consumer culture is completely fucked. Reduced to dopamine driven clicks through years of hedonistic glut, spurred on by soulless, money extracting algorithms.<br/><br/>It is we consumers that continue to fail at measuring value in anything other than dopamine hits and (fake) money, and in that way validating attention-gabbing noise as valuable. <br/><br/>Businesses do not have or need any moral compass. That is for consumers to enforce on them, under threat of voting with their wallets.<br/><br/>Consumers are supposed to be the balancing power in the producer-consumer economy. What we have now is a producer-state economy where consumers are mere, impotent spectators. <br/><br/> 2026-02-08T21:48:47+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsx3pnxsp4mu43yw97amtvy9820g5psd07qv23pll0xl53u7nkw85qzyp26g5xracy2qklpdj09kr3a2yp25r2zk48q6yyhr9umhx8p3x9rxkts6tx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrj0850jqsjkrlsg9ykuw8msar3ntfarmurqk4m6t6f7s5zugwx2c8xzzze'>nevent1q…zzze</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Bots on Nostr is fine.
