Hi Sjors.
I can see how you could arrive at this stage, considering the impact faketoshi might have had on the devs.
I can only speak for myself and your integrity is pretty clear to me.
For me it's about the op_return discussion itself. Filtering is important. I think not many people leave their LAN unprotected and get rid of their firewall, just because of some usecase they might miss otherwise. That's an over the top example, but back to first principles, it should make it clear. As a noderunner, I want that freedom to tweak parameters to my liking and just relay whatever ends up there. Putting my foot down is all I want. From there on it's a numbers game and I'm well aware of my little contribution, but I want it to be there anyway.
A principled take. But that's bitcoin for all of us, the human factor is what makes it all work.

Okay, thanks. I was pretty much in the 'let's ossify except for bug fixing and unforeseen future needs, cut off all feature discussions and level up with focus on 2nd layers with a stable base' camp.
This adds to that conviction.
I hope we get there asap.
Clarity - hard to achieve in an open source world...

Hi Sjors, appreciate your explanation, but which 'protocols' do you address here (below)? I mean, Lightning needed a softfork, we tacked on some privacy improvements later, but I'm unaware of other high prio things still being addressed... And if applications need data before spending, why not out of band, like miniscript? I'm very new to this discussion, but insiders that can clarify things to educate are hard to find while there's so much noise...
"Some protocols require certain data to be available before the transaction is spent. Since the witness is only revealed at spending time, it would be too late."

I'm in the camp 'if nuance fits the bill next to emotional outbursts, however well intended by the individuals crying out, nuance probably has more merit' and bide my time. We'll find out later.
If you're one of the last pillars of trust and integrity she can lean on, time will tell if she either got to you too or you both are rocks weathering this shitstorm. Either case, impressed to see you sticking to this as I'm for now still leaning towards nuance.

I don't pretend to have any inside knowledge, but the picture you paint pretty much addresses the complex outings we've seen lately. It became clear she's fighting some internal deamons right now.
There have been many bitcoin 'vips' in the past burning themselves on their popularity and accompanying pressures.
It's the dark side of being an independant thinker in a group that confirms you, while most of us need some stable footing that makes us aware of our own faults. Negative feedback loops are important.

MUSIC... https://linuxcien.nl/static/assets/audio/GenerativePiano01_2025-01-28_1452.mp3
Last week, after more than 10 years, I met with a former colleague and brother in arms on open source and Linux at the time. It was a joy, both older and wiser, but stil largely in line on ideas about tech.
Aside from that, turns out he now produces his own compositions on the synthesizer and I'd like to share one of these here. My teenage years are from the 70's and it has some recognisible vibes.
He calls himself 'Gezz' and if you like to listen a bit further, this is the place: https://gezz1.bandcamp.com/music.
He's discovering Nostr now too, dunno how far yet, but please welcome him when he does get his nsec ready...

Hiya. I'm trying to find a post abt a 'normal' sentence based private key and some critical fee remarks on Coinbase I believe was yours, but can't find it.
It might have been from someone else though... then don't bother pls

MSTR is a fiat game on top of bitcoin. Hodl and playing this game too is a nice way to ensure there's some extra fiat on the table to hodl more. A mini Saylor play for the plebs. I like it.

Every fork upto now failed, because the assumed unforkabilty adds value. There are always ways to handle perceived corruption on other levels.

All financial parasites looking to be the 1st, thus THE #bitcoin ETF provider, got their hand forced by Blackrock. As Blackrocks proposition is not too good for their customers, there's room to come with a better product and still win. Whatever they end up with, not much left over to be mined. If this gets serious, #bitcoin adoption will get a boost.

2023-06-09 20:59:19 CEST

#Bitcoin adoption needs the money to flow. Find new diamond hands and keep stacking sats.

Not an official one. It says so in the site faq

#bitcoin adoption increases the value
With 90%+ mined, it needs to be used.
Keep stacking & find diamond hands

Are there plans to read a single 100 dice throw in a 10x10 grid to scan as a fresh private key in SeedSigner? 6**100 just covers the 2**256 requirement... looks like a fun extension to the "scan a photo as private key"..😁
I tried to program it myself, but got a bit lost in the base-6 calculation toward binary..🤔 A few base 6 digits is easy, 100 needs an algorithm
