Braidpool is: 1. A DAG-based chain with PoW-based conflict resolution 2. A mining pool with 1000x faster blocks 3. An "instant payout" mechanism for miners 4. A decentralized hashrate derivatives market 5. Making bitcoin more decentralized!

@aeonBTC @DMND_Sv2 @ocean_mining @braidpool just got our "Audit Mode" PR. You'll be able to use Braidpool with an upstream pool like DMND or OCEAN (there are good business reasons for that) and prove to creditors your hashrate. We can all get along.

Congratulations to DMND! Everyone should be using either DMND or OCEAN until Braidpool is online. But, you shouldn't 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 to build your own blocks. Because someone else on the same pool is building a less profitable block than yours. Braidpool will fix this.

.@zaidmstrr is awarded starter grant for @braidpool - decentralized mining pool where miners handle share accounting, payouts & tx selection themselves. He’ll spend next 6 months hardening reliability, improving coordination logic & advancing scalable, verifiable mining infra!
Congratulations to Braidpool contributor and @bitshala_org grantee @zaidmstrr on getting his second PR merged into Bitcoin Core! https://t.co/7MpRXjxKWr

✨New follow-up bitcoin-core change opprotunity✨ 📢mentioned in: #32821 rpc: Handle -named argument parsing where '=' character is used https://t.co/IzQ504Ahnq "> I'm wondering if there's a different way we can go about this without adding another table of arguments that need

With 5 very good interns this summer and our own dedicated AI coding project, Braidpool is still not using AI coding agents to any large extent (except code review -- for which we end up throwing away half of its suggestions). This is why.
My expectations of coding LLMs is growing far faster than their capabilities. I can run gpt-4o equivalents locally now with a dozen open source models. That's great. I no longer want that. What should I do? Suggestions encouraged.

Cc: @blocks and @spiralbtc for Braidpool sponsorship, @summerofbitcoin for @shashankss1205 for sponsorship, @goose_oss who should take a look at this and hire @Shashankss1205 😃

This summer Braidpool helped mentor 5 Summer of Bitcoin students working on AI coding tools. Here is one of the main outputs of that work by @Shashankss1205: an MCP tool to give your coding assistant a knowledge graph of your code. Give it a try! https://t.co/IdAYSZDgId

Braidpool endorses this statement. Tx relay filters don't prevent txs from being mined, but do cause blocks to be slower to verify while nodes download missing txs. Filtooring/Knots is a net negative for the network and these devs made the right choice https://t.co/t6YILgtzLn
Here is a statement, published on https://t.co/46iyRGtpS5, signed by 31 contributors to Bitcoin Core, on their views on Knots vs Core. https://t.co/2BE12riUT5

Just dropped a new blog post diving deep into lessons learned from building @braidpool with Rust, Tokio, and async programming. Check it out for insights on async challenges and solutions! #rust #tokio #async

Have you ever considered that the Knots/Core debate has an entirely out of the box solution? Or are you busy arguing turd sandwich vs giant douche?
Bitcoin transactions in braidpool will go through a 6 stage process of confirmation: 1. Mempool (bitcoin's) 2. Staged (adding it to future shares) 3. Committed (mined in a share) 4. Block Staged (scheduled in next block) 5. Mined (in a block) 6. Bitcoin confirmations

Zero DMs. One donated S9 destroyed by customs in India. Several BitAxes purchased (one donated). Donations needed! We're launching soon!
Braidpool is entering testing soon. We're looking for some generous folks to donate old mining equipment. If you have older, unprofitable equipment lying around, we'd appreciate it if you could ship it to me so we can make Braidpool work out of the box with more hardware. DM me.

I don't think @grassfedbitcoin is interested in decentralizing mining. I can't imagine the reason he blocked @braidpool? #fixthefilters

Don't work on Braidpool. You might be an unlicensed money transmitter. https://t.co/xO8NiOvP2W
In a major win for DOJ, Samourai Wallet developers have plead guilty to unlicensed money transmission. The charge had been heavily disputed, described as an unclear application of the law. The developers face fines and up to five years in prison. Full story👇

Our testnet in the next few months will be CPU mining using a Bitcoin testnet fork called CPUNet. Run this to catch a few coins! But keep your BitAxe on mainnet for now. Sorry your pool options are shit, we're working on it. https://t.co/BUF5s9ENyi

We have been developing Braidpool using BitAxes from @SoloSatoshi. Thank you @SoloSatoshi and follow @braidpool for our mainnet release! https://t.co/jbotFIMZvN
To our customers, how has your experience been using Solo Satoshi for your home mining needs?

We support core and will follow their decisions and try to avoid a tx selection war. This decision requires us to do more engineering, but it's not insurmountable. The people working on Bitcoin core are the most experienced, dedicated, and smartest engineers we have.
We were hoping Bitcoin would go a different direction and compromise on an increased OP_RETURN in the 100-200 byte range. Large transactions are a negative for Braidpool. They will increase variance and increase the hashrate of the minimum viable miner. https://t.co/DePzbHZgSo

Maximizing revenue and minimizing variance are conflicting constraints. Can you come up with a hybrid tx selection constraint that does a reasonable job at both?
