A hard fork WILL be what saved bitcoin, if it is saved. If only because of the 2106 problem requiring it. https://fountain.fm/episode/wMCkDxdDunIOrGA...

Huh? 100x from 2 trillion is 200 trillion. Or roughly 20% of global wealth.

GM. The most reliable relay is the one you don't trust someone else to run.

Gosh its been at least 30 min.

Oooh, chatty seems to be right. It does look to stick with sha256d. Looks like I can sell my coins and use them to put up ordinals too!

Can't help but notice Satoshi's coins are still safe.

Could go with Haven then. Or any relay. It does wonders for performance.

I mean it doesn't have to be Citrine but running your own local relay helps performance a lot. Citrine is just often easiest.

Nah, but probably multisig. Maybe dice -- it was always the coolest feature. But the guide advised using RNG even though it said it required the most ...

It also doesn't entail trusting dice manufacturers. I do think it's probably overkill for a 256 bit key. But with this method you can give yourself c...

If it is you can skew correct and just use one die or coin. Odd odd gets thrown out, even even gets thrown out, odd even is a 1, even odd is a 0. Or y...

People are just looking for someone to blame. So much for sovereignty.

Yea. In general following their paranoid guide was always and still is best practice. And yea, it advocates not just rolling dice but also verifying t...

Sparrow is my go to general wallet; Liana is fantastic for easily accessing powerful miniscript, and bitcoin-cli is the one to go to when nothing real...

I wouldn't trust it to generate a key, but I didn't trust it before to generate a key. And thus, my key is actually safe. I see nothing that changes ...

They work with sparrow, mycelium (eww) and others AFTER they're initialized. Initialization requires Trezor Suite or Trezorctl. https://image.nostr....

If I had to pick one the Trezor would be the no brainer. But I don't, and I trust neither. Being told I have to use their software alone is probably...

Ideally it should be impossible to know what devices people keep coins on.

Yes. How would they know how many coins are on their devices? Is that use of their nodes too?

How anyone can get that data reliably is beyond me. And more reason both brands spook me.

GM, and congrats!

Humans always depend on money. Core is one implementation that doesn't control the protocol. There hasn't been a change since taproot. Don't like ho...

GM!

Roughly 17% of nodes are running Core 30.2 or 31.1. The rest have declined to upgrade at this time or are running something else. I'd not jump to the...

I just wish it'd be done with already. But I am glad that somehow I've got it backeted by a Bitdevs meetup a week before and a week after so I can sh...

If devs could control Bitcoin it wouldn't matter who paid them, Bitcoin would already be broken. Thankfully that is not the case.

54? Seems like a reasonable step to take cleaning up consensus and clean up some attack vectors.
