This is how I ended up working on bitcoin. Following people I "disagreed with" changed my life. Do it early, do it often.
It's a good idea to follow some people you disagree with. Otherwise you risk ending up in an echo chamber. Resist the temptation to tribalize and segment yourself, and instead focus on building connections and strength-testing your ideas.

I think wallets should show fees in sats per Weight Units. It's intuitive even for beginners. You can imagine transactions have weight, and that has a unit. Makes sense. "Virtual bytes" on the other hand? Your first thought is wtf is that and how is it different than a byte? 👎.

I'm just going to come out and say it, using the â‚¿ symbol for displaying wallet balances in satoshis and letting go of the sats naming and visuals is cleaner, simpler, and more directly understood by most everyone. Goodbye sats, it's been a slice.

Contributing to the maintenance of one of the most important codebases on GitHub is no easy task I'm sure, and Gloria does it well. Take time to read her thoughts. Top quote IMO:. "Bitcoin’s long term success relies on us frying some much bigger fish than mempool policy defaults".
I posted a full writeup for the #32406 merge decision on the PR. These changes go into effect in v30, which is scheduled for release in October. The PR changes the defalt value of -datacarriersize. You will still be able to use -datacarrier and -datacarriersize options in v30,.

I'm a simple bitcoiner. I see an effort to build consensus around covenants, I retweet. It's time we get this show on the road.
On February 28th, 2025, I will endorse a covenant upgrade plan. If you don't care what I have to say, that's fine. But a variety of folks have been asking me to weigh in, and I do not want to be in the position of gatekeeping the formation of consensus. I don't personally plan to.

I was trying to decide what bitcoin conferences to go to this year and wasn't able to find a clean, simple list of them. So I just built one. Hopefully it's helpful to others. There are probably a ton missing; help me fill it out!.

BDK is central to bark, our Ark client implementation. It enables us to quickly and easily build a fully-fledged bitcoin wallet, literally doing everything out-of-the-box. We’re looking forward to the upcoming 1.0 release for that added stability!.
