Cause I CAN, no permission required, really MINE, true property.

2026-02-25 20:04:43 UTC

I've said it before, I'll say it again. #bitcoin is freedom. That means freedom to choose. #Core devs are free to choose how to develop their software, node-runners are free to choose not to run it. They may choose to stick with core v29 or older, or to switch to #knots. They may signal for #BIP110, or may choose not to. It is as simple as that.
As with the block size time will show whether people (node-runners) want large OP_RETURNs, or not, whether they value the monetary funcion of ₿ the most, or they would prefer to utilize other functions such as data storage.
Miners are free to put whatever they want in the blocks, as the node-runners are free to reject the blocks if they do not follow the rules.
I do not understand the fear of the chain split after BIP110. In the end the longest chain will succeed.
If the majority of the validators reject the data storage function of the #blockchain, then the miners are still free to choose whether to conform to the validators' standards, or to risk their #PoW to be wasted. If they decide to provide free data storage, then this would become the new reality.
I believe that the monetary function is the main one, and should be preserved. I also believe that reducing the attack vectors is important. I can't support Core's actions in regard with how they handled v30 changes. I also do not understand how the unoing of the changes introduced with v30 could be classified as an attack against bitcoin, as the aim of BIP110 is to restore the status quo before v30 and to prevent future expansion of this attack vector. But that's me with my biases and blindspots.
Ad hominem attacks are unnecessary. Technical discussion is needed.
Every node-runner will have to decide for themselves.
1 node = 1 vote.

Yes, I caved in and used the Play Store option, which works. However, this somehow made me feel dirty for violating the clean experience of GrapheneOS with the installation of the app from the Play store.
Tgank you for making privacy and security gtrat again.

2026-02-10 10:11:37 UTC

#Revolut decided to actively force users to only use #PlayStore instead of privacy focused app stores. The app no longer works when installed on @nprofile…lt8e via #AuroraStore.
Revolut claims that it values security, but once or twice a year takes intentional actions to prevent users from using more secure and private alternatives to android.
GrapheneOS is way better and hardened compared to the spyware most mainstream OSes have become.
#PrivacyIsNotACrime
Has anyone found a workaround not involving sandboxed play services and api?
Can anyone recommend an alternative to Revolut, similar in functionality, ease of use, and fees, which works on GrapheneOS?

I love your shows, @npub1vwy…zugd .
I want to respectfully disagree with you on one particular point you made in this episode. I think you are seeing ghosts where there aren't any.
I speak a little German, not a native though. I want to make several clarification the book's title is "Mein Kampf" ("My struggle"), not "Mein Kopf" ("My Head"). :-)
Cryptocurrency ==> Kryptowährung (cryptocurrency) / Kryptogeld (literally: crypto money).
My cryptocurrency ==> Meine Kryptowährung (feminine) / Mein Kryptogeld (neuter). Yes, German has grammatical genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter).
Cryptocurrency is shortened to crypto and it is likely that in German it to be shortened to Krypto. It's just how language works. Is is only natural to shorten Kryptogeld to just Krypto (neuter).
And My crypto in German (following the respective language rules) = Mein Krypto. Please, do keep in mind that in German all nouns are capitalized, so it is highly unlikely to be a reference to the book. My dog is big = Mein Hund ist groß.
Additionally, in German the 'k' sound is almost always written with a 'k', and not with a 'c' (exceptions do exist, of course).
In conclusion, in Germany, Mein Krypto is just how you say my crypto. There are no peculiarities suggesting a deeper reference to a book title an Austrian painter wrote once.
Sorry for the long post, here's the obligatory potato.

Yeah, but Bulgaria lost its monetary sovereignty a long time ago (1st July 1997). The Currency Board took effect on that date. With it BGN was "tied" to the German mark (DM) forcing a fixed exchange rate of 1,000 BGN for 1 DM. When Germany switched to the €, and Bulgaria had the redenomination after the hyperinflation (1,000 BGN --> 1 BGN), a fixed conversion rate was set to 1.95583 BGN for 1 €. Bulgaria hasn't been really free since 1997 to set its own monetary policy and has been bonded to the success/failure of the €. Switching to the € won't change much in this regard.

I am using Clark Moody's dashboard (https://dashboard.clarkmoody.com/) where core30 is at 7.3%. Wow, that is fast adoption. Boy, was I wrong to assume that node-runners would choose not to upgrade. Let's hope that many would have manually configured the OP_RETUTN max value to the previous limit.

Am I too dumb, or am I missing something? I thought that if the majority of people refuse to upgrade to #core30 or decide to run #knots, then the nodes will simply reject the those blocks with the core30 #OP_RETURN increased values as invalid / violarong the prior consensus, keeping the #bitcoin #timechain intact. Thus, if core devs want to still be relevant, they will kinda have to reverse the change. No need of a #softfork; no need of a #hardfork.
#btc is freedom, and that means choice. The node-runners are free to choose.

I found this place early in the morning in #Siracuse, #Sicily, it was not opened for the day, yet. I was in a hurry and couldn't wait. I decided to go back another day. I wanted to buy aranchini & canoli with #bitcoin today. Unfortunately it was again closed. I can't get used to the Sicilian version of #siesta, I guess.
Maybe next time I'll be lucky enough, or maybe some of you #nostr users will beat me to the punch.

What do we tell #fiat minds, claiming that noone uses #₿ for payments?

Now. Will check again in 10 years. I'm positive it would buy quite fewer #bitcoin.

Before: Let's see what is happening with S&P and try to predict what will happen to #bitcoin.
Now: Let's see what's up with #₿ to predict where S&P's going.
