Two-factor authentication in Bitcoin multi-signature setups is a powerful, modern security method that Blockstream pioneered years ago. In this release, 2FA (on Android) is faster to configure, easier to recover, and more clearly organized improving security while removing

We've released v29.2. If you're running a 29.x release, and not upgrading to 30.0 (waiting for a 30.1, BDB removal, API changes etc), you should consider upgrading to 29.2. A 28.3 release will also become available soon, likely later this week: https://t.co/kXgZAvFH0S.

Backports: ci: Properly include $FILE_ENV in DEPENDS_HASH #33581 Plus the changes to finalise v28.3

@Miguel20734259 @NickSzabo4 @adam3us @colbyserpa @csuwildcat @ocean_mining no one is saying that im commenting that v30 default limit change isnt opening up some new thing possible in bitcoin, but in fact it has happened

@NickSzabo4 @adam3us @colbyserpa @csuwildcat @ocean_mining nick @NickSzabo4 also, here are the very deliberate scripts that need to be run to decode witness data (already standard and widely used) and op_returns (what we are apparently fighting about now) its hard to see how there would be a legal difference here https://t.co/duOe1ag1g4
Ok, so according to @GrassFedBitcoin and @mattkratter this is illegal: ``` bitcoin-cli getrawtransaction 8c9fe58186c199fa9f8d72c121a45270f70d3854e67238f3c7c319989a50921b true | jq -r '.vout[1].scriptPubKey.asm' | cut -d ' ' -f2 | xxd -r -ps | base64 -d > /tmp/tada.png && open

"opreturns are more damaging than inscriptions because inscriptions are obfuscated!" ok, here you go ``` bitcoin-cli decodescript $(bitcoin-cli getrawtransaction 26482871f33f1051f450f2da9af275794c0b5f1c61ebf35e4467fb42c2813403 true | jq -r '.vin[0].txinwitness[1]') | jq -r .asm

@NickSzabo4 @adam3us @colbyserpa @csuwildcat @ocean_mining here is an article about the content already being stored in bitcoin https://t.co/dU41R0jM5L

@NickSzabo4 @adam3us @colbyserpa @csuwildcat @ocean_mining but nick, arbitrary content is always possible with arbitrary scripting capabilities, which bitcoin has had since 0.1

Many mocked when I said thousands upon thousands of lines of code difference over a single config file parameter...but I was not exaggerating
@start9labs @callebtc The Knots 28.1 tag differs from Bitcoin Core 28.1 by 1,370 commits and 28,511 LOC (+25,871, -2640) across 550 files. If you were aware of that and think that "infinitesimal" is a good description of that patch set, we’ll have to agree to disagree. Sauce: https://t.co/r6dVLi3oxG
