I am a community-paid #Bitcoin developer working on Bitcoin Core & many other parts of Bitcoin. You can help fund my public Bitcoin work by: 1) Sending me bitcoins - contact me for a Bitcoin address! 2) GitHub Sponsors: https://t.co/nj4ojT48Iv 3) Patreon:

BIP-444 UASF is a MUST because, 1) SMALL DATA makes bitcoin node LIGHT for INDIVIDUALS to operate. 2) ECONOMIC PARTICIPANTS (wallet, exchanges, mining pools) do not need to take LEGAL RISK of transferring CSAMs. (like or not, it's REAL risk) No reason not to support it.

This is a completely ridiculous and fallacious argument, that reeks of Bitcoin Cult thinking, anthropomorphising Bitcoin nodes, as if they’re in a strange way sentient, and in their operation form a “hive mind” of some sort. Drivel right out of a cheap science fiction novel. The

If Core was remotely serious about “matching Bitcoin policy with consensus” then they would have proposed lowering consensus limit to something very close to the Op_Return policy limit, not raise the policy limit to the higher 100kb consensus limit. Directional signals matter.

My fellow plebs, BIP444 won't create new coin, it would be the coretards who will be creating new coin with their URSF...!!! Must watch video from @GrassFedBitcoin...!!! THERE IS NO DOWNSIDE IN RUNNING UASF BUT THERE IS 100% DOWNSIDE IN RUNNING URSF. CORETARDS ARE GOING TO

Anyone have any experiences with ryokan in Hakone? DM me please 🙃

In 2017, it really looked like bitcoin's fate was going to be decided by a group of powerful people getting together in an invitation-only, closed-door meeting. What that episode taught us is that bitcoiners decide what bitcoin is. Not Core, Citrea, miners, etc.

@tom_martykan The devs propose what spam is by writing various filters for it Then the people decide what spam is by choosing which filters, if any, to run

hey @github can you help me understand why my account was suspended without any notice? this is extremely disheartening! 💔 I'm funded by @Vinteum_org to do Bitcoin FOSS on the @StratumV2 project, so my github account is primordial for my livelihood.

Interesting how Adam Back, Shinobi, GMax, and other Spam Apologists demonstrated a fairly solid holistic understanding of Bitcoin in the past. Wtf happened?

@adam3us @soloyopee @Jethroe111 @shesek @0xLalice @SteveSimple @coryklippsten Core's position is consensus and policy should align. That's nonsense, but BIP 444 gives them a way to do that.

The scary part for me now, compared to the blocksize wars, is back then everyone was fighting to make bitcoin better money (albeit with vastly different ideas on the how) while this time one side is doing that and the other side is fighting to make bitcoin better for other stuff

How dare Google threaten you??? /sarcasm

Bitcoin 'tyrants,' so to speak, fear a UASF that gathers large amounts of support. They will try to gaslight you into believing UASF is a theoretical tool with no track record of success, but UASF de facto activated SegWit and won the Blocksize Wars.

@d0mesticblend even though he posed this a rhetorical question, he's using a demoralization tactic to convince people to not try defend bitcoin as money

I've been blocked from the Bitcoin Github... for the crime of .... something? I posted that they seem to be moving quickly to rush this change, and pointed out that the maintainer of the DNS seed is currently unable to comment (per the quoted thread)... and I'm blocked. No

Core doubling down on being bad actors (yet again) My DNS seed has always had a policy to lag eligible node versions a bit. Other seeds have even set static node IPs. They're not all supposed to be uniform, just fair. https://t.co/HsqBxUNdtN

More lazy censorship from the “open technical dialogue” bitcoindev mailing list. This was blocked and marked “off topic.” 🤦🏻‍♂️

37% of Bitcoin block space is now non-financial data (~0.58MB/block). The tx fees spammers pay are very low for getting their files stored forever on someone else's computer. They're essentially free-riding on a $2T network built and secured for payments. And v30 was just

Some education seems needed... Bcash and BSV were altcoins with airdrops, NOT hardforks. Softforks and hardforks don't result in multiple tokens. Hardforks do, however, require EVERYONE to consent and upgrade, otherwise (even with inaction) the attempt fails and turns into an
