wallet designers: Do not truncate trailing zeros from the BTC denomination! Always use the same precision!
As a user, I need 15 seconds to figure out whether 0.0000089 BTC is 89 sats, 890 sats, or 8900 sats. It would've taken me 10ms if it was 0.00000890 BTC.

Germany, the country I live in, decided to magically create 100 billion Euros to spend on the war. Entirely financed by new debt. They can never raise interest rates. Nobody cares.
Our fiat world is in an endless spiral of infinite credit, low interest rates, war, and collapse.

I'm extremely proud to announce that I successfully defended my PhD with highest honors.
Looking back at years of fundamental research in academia, I'm excited about the future. I plan to focus on Bitcoin R&D, the most impactful project my skills can contribute to.

Experts say about Bitcoin:
- Distribution is unfair but don't count exchange wallets
- Mining is centralized but don't explain pools
- Energy use is wasteful but don't explain economics of electricity
- Doesn't scale but ignore Lightning
- All speculation but ignore human rights

Idk if people are ready, but I believe the world is. First tests of USD Ecash. Backed by BTC.
Everyone can run a mint. Everyone can make a wallet. USD can be spent anywhere BTC is accepted. Open protocols. No gatekeepers. This is only due to the permissionless nature of Bitcoin.

Every entity holding > 1000 BTC should fund at least one Core developer. If they don't, it's just very poor risk management.

Chainalysis is the biggest sin of the crypto industry. A compliance tool that works completely in the dark. Businesses are de facto forced to use it. Legal action against ordinary people.
Nobody knows how, no methods, no scientific evidence.
Digital quackery. Disgusting.

The time to synch a Bitcoin node is going to drop to seconds, and the memory required for the entire UTXO set is going be compressed to kilobytes – and you will be very happy.
The significance of these projects cannot be overstated. Protect the devs working on this black magic.

Someone just sold a used graphics card for 800k sats using a market hosted on nostr (shopstr). The seller was offline while the purchase was made. The payment was a Cashu ecash token sent from buyer to seller automatically via nostr DM.

Went to a restaurant I found on

that accepts Bitcoin and had dinner there with friends.
Paid the bill for my Udon Noodle dish from my self-custodial Lightning wallet to their self-custodial Lightning wallet. The payment took 0.5 seconds to finalize.

art is complex. I particularly like the nuclear power cooling towers on the skull. Symbolism for the sustainable nuclear-powered abundant future that Bitcoin will lead us to.

I've built a simple program that creates a new Lightning node. The node takes around half a second to start. I will probably implement this into everything I touch, starting with

Bitcoin mining converts electricity to heat and heat can never be converted back to any useful form of energy (in the absence of a temperature gradient).
Bitcoin is not digital energy.

The European Central bank is working on an Ecash system for a CBDC that can only be run by banks. We're working on an Ecash system for Bitcoin that can be run by anyone.

Bitcoin literally needs you.
We need more people writing code, experimenting with it, just having fun. You don't need to start a company. You don't need a brilliant idea. If you don't know how to start, read the code and submit bug fixes for the software you're already using.

Dear wallet UX designer, I'm a hardcore Bitcoiner and I still need 21 seconds of intense brain effort to figure out how much 0.002735 BTC is supposed to be.

I've took the Bitcoin privacy dark pill. We've lost the plot on privacy on Bitcoin a long time ago.
Now that BackRock owns 1% of the supply, I doubt that we shall see a real privacy upgrade ever again.

If you're the reason a pink-haired commie (they/them) doesn't join, use, or develop on Bitcoin, you're probably an enemy of Bitcoin.
You may not think of yourself that way but it's true. You've failed to separate your tiny personal insignificant ideology from the bigger goal.

@nytimestech
1) Bitcoin does not compete for energy.
2) It's not being mined where residential areas are.
3) Bitcoin can subsidize renewable energy production.
4) It's 2022, maybe update your 2013 arguments. I can also get you to bed grandma.

Proof of Work can't be faked which means that if we live in a simulation (i.e. the Simulation Hypothesis) then we slow it down by performing PoW.

This is incredible! Super Testnet just invented a new type of payment channel with offline receive.
It makes use of connector outputs which is a concept introduced by Ark. There is no service provider however. Channels are peer-to-peer.
With 1% the complexity of Lightning.
My latest invention is Hedgehog: a protocol for asynchronous layer two bitcoin payments

Rate these miners.
We had the opportunity to visit the geothermal power plant in El Salvador with the 1 MW

mining operation. No new miners were added since last year. More than half the miners were turned off. They didn't want to share the hash rate nor the BTC mined.

Went to a restaurant that accepts Bitcoin with Phoenix wallet. Paid my bill and Acinq opened a new Lightning channel to him.
He asked why he needed a new channel. He already had one! I ended up explaining channel capacity, balance, opening fees, etc.
This isn't the way... Fvck.

I've implemented a Bitstream proof of concept by
@robin_linus
in
@CashuBTC
for atomic swaps between files and Lightning payments.
Atomicity is achieved via a "Nutbond" Ecash contract which can be challenged if the downloaded file doesn't decrypt right.
