My wife and I, with the help of some community members, have started a crowdfunding campaign to buy supplies to donate to Venezuela. We are two Venezuelans living in Spain, and it breaks our hearts to see the tragedy that has unfolded in our country and to feel completely helpless. We wanted to donate, but since we have been living exclusively on Bitcoin for quite some time now, it has been impossible to find an NGO that accepts Bitcoin donations. Because of this, we decided to take matters into our own hands. All the funds raised will be used to buy the items that are needed right now: Non-perishable food Medicine and first-aid supplies Hygiene products Flashlights and batteries Everything we manage to buy will be taken to a collection center, where they will handle delivering it directly to those affected. Here is the link for anyone who wants to lend a hand: pagos.dinerosinreglas.com/ap…

Wait, iPhone users didn't have this shit until now? Lmao

Imagine living before the invention of gravity

Bro believes the universe uses Rasterization instead of Ray Traced Global Illumination.

Two years ago I became a rabid Bitcoin maxi because I believed in the cypherpunk ethos. Today, I'm not a rabid Bitcoin maxi anymore because I believe in the cypherpunk ethos.

Governments can't stop Bitcoin because they can't stop math. Bitcoiners can't stop spam because they can't stop math.

Venezolanos en España ahora mismo #apagon

Closing your eyes improves traffic at rush hour

My fucking god

Today I saw the most amazing Bitcoin product I've seen in my life. It's called Wesatoshis and it's a new kind of hardware warm wallet, it can do off-line self custodial Lightning (through @Boltzhq atomic swaps), Rootstock and on-chain Bitcoin payments by connecting to other Wesatoshis wallets that are online around 500m. Spec wise it's just an Arduino board with a screen, a camera, and a few buttons running a full SPV node. I saw the thing work with some testnet sats and saw it understand an LN invoice in less than a second and I was blown away. I've never been so blindly bulltarded on anything, not even Bitcoin itself, and although it's still rough, there are so many possibilities for this thing. If this is what the future of Bitcoin payments looks like, I want to live on it now! Nobody is bullish enough on this thing!!! Thanks to @manuferraritano for the pictures and videos, I was so excited about it I couldn't even record anything.

They lost Szabo!!! 🚨🚨🚨 I repeat! 📢📢📢 THEY LOST SZABO!!! 🚨🚨🚨

LOL

Why not Linux? Just pack it as a flatpak and it would be installable everywhere.

I just installed Knots and changed the datacarriersize to 1MB. What are you going to do to stop me?

Today I chose to be happy, you can do the same thing Anon.

The Lion does not concern himself with the legal risks of running a Bitcoin node.

I'm officially running Core.

I don't know who needs to read this but here it goes: DON'T READ THE BITCOIN STANDARD

Why would Core remove a guy who calls them malware, bad actors, rapists and pedophiles? Have they lost their heads?

Reminder that Bitcoin will die forever in less than 2 months if you don't run Luke's implementation, mine with Luke's pool, donate to Luke, and buy a t-shirt that says "Run Knots Save Bitcoin" for 35$ not payable with Bitcoin.

In the end today was not just a good day, but one of the best days in my life so far.

Why am I not surprised that the people who mistook Bitcoin for a lifestyle are the ones mad at Gloria? You guys are going to have a bad time when Bitcoin doesn't shape the world in the ways you think it will.

"Nobody is going to run v30" "Knots is the reference implementation now" Now that they lost this battle as well, what's the next line of distributed cope?

Knotzi’s in an alternate reality where you have to ask their permission to use permissionless money

BREAKING 🚨🚨🚨 Guy in formal attire stock photo said something about #Bitcoin THIS IS HUGE! 🔥

I have no proof, but please trust me bro. Bitcoin has been captured bro, use my pool, run my client and buy my merch bro, we have to protect Bitcoin from being captured bro. PLEASE, I SWEAR!! I'M TO BE TRUSTED AND NOT DOUBTED ON THIS! pls rtweet so we can take down evil Core!!

Paying a 12345 sats invoice from my own @getAlby's AlbyHub Lightning Node to Speed (@speedwallet), while using the wesatoshi's (@we_satoshis) hardware spending wallet and NWC (@nwc_dev) This thing is dope AF.

Luke is raping my node ordiscan.com/inscription/108…

She is behind all of this

The same people telling me for years the Covenants are rushed, now want to rush a soft-fork due to... And hear me out clearly here... LEGAL REASONS! 🤣

These guys don't know I almost got myself killed protesting a communist dictatorship. Legal and moral consequences have never stopped me from doing anything. Fuck these authoritarian retards!

"Bitcoin Core is centralized, only a few developers can merge code, run Knots!" Knots' very decentralized code merging developer team:

Woke up in Las Vegas. Girlfriend by my side. OP_RETURN PR merged. CTV+CSFS open letter from a bunch of Core contributors. Gloria hinting at the importance of consensus changes for scaling Bitcoin. Today is a good day!

Riddle me this orthodox maxi: If "real" Bitcoiners hate Gloria so much and she "has to quit" why is Core v30 the most rapidly adopted version ever and why haven't you achieved anything after 2 years of increasing retardation? Might it be possible that you are a minority?

Todo el mundo dice "si mi me apuntan con una pistola yo le doy unos coñazos al malandro, se la quito y le doy unos tiros" hasta que los apuntan con una pistola. No sea pendeja señora, que con cague no hay cabeza fría.

He who has money is in whatever shape he wants

I decided to put the Covenants Support Table into numbers using a simple pointing system and I got some interesting results. I will start by saying what everyone wants to know, the most liked op_codes by developers according to the system are CSFS, CTV and CAT, in that order. The most disliked so are PAIRCOMMIT, APO, Vault, being these 3 among the least evaluated op_copes so far. Now with that out of the way, let me explain the numbers and how these results were reached: The table presents the next evaluation criteria: Evaluating -Not sure and still evaluating the idea No- Doesn't support Deficient - Okay with the idea, but considers it to have insufficient community support Weak - Better than nothing at all Wanting - Positively likes the idea, but considers it to have insufficient community support Acceptable - It is a workable solution Prefer - The best option all things considered With this in mind the system was very easy to design: There are 3 positive options, 2 negatives, and 1 where the op_code hasn't been evaluated and other where there's no leaning to one side or the other, so I came up with a system of points that goes like this: Prefer +3 Acceptable +2 Wanting +1 Weak 0 Deficient -1 No -3 Evaluating 0 I all ended in a very simply formula that you can do yourself manually: ((P×3)+(A×2)+(W×1)+((Wk+E)×0))−((D×1)+(N×3)) Using this very simply system I got the next results: CSFS: ((17×3)+(10×2)+(7×1)+((1+8)×0))−((0×1)+(0×3)) = 78 CTV: ((19×3)+(9×2)+(2×1)+((4+2)×0))−((0×1)+(6×3)) = 59 CAT: ((16×3)+(10×2)+(5×1)+((1+2)×0))−((5×1)+(4×3)) = 56 TXHASH:((14×3)+(3×2)+(9×1)+((1+8)×0))−((5×1)+(3×3)) = 43 IK: ((9×3)+(6×2)+(7×1)+((0+16)×0))−((1×1)+(4×3)) = 33 CCV: ((1×3)+(3×2)+(6×1)+((4+27)×0))−((2×1)+(0×3)) = 13 VAULT: ((5×3)+(7×2)+(6×1)+((1+12)×0))−((7×1)+(5×3)) = 13 APO: ((4×3)+(5×2)+(1×1)+((18+9)×0))−((2×1)+(4×3)) = 9 PC: ((1×3)+(5×2)+(2×1)+((5+23)×0))−((0×1)+(7×3)) = -6 What's interesting to see is: CTV has more negative points (18) that CAT (15), but it's positive score is so much better that it ends up winning according to the system. PC and APO are the end up so bad not due to the negative reception but because nobody cares about them, PC has 28 meh score while APO has 27 (meh score being those that are valued 0). Vault is actually the most disliked by the system amounting to a total of 22 negative points. TXHASH is less divisive than CTV but it is also less liked, TXHASH's positive and negative scores are 57 and 14 respectively while CTV's are 77 and 18. CCV is the less evaluated op_code with points alone going to "Evaluating" while 4 going to "weak", with a total meh score of 31, paradoxically it performed better than PC and APO. APO and Vault are the only one which Prefer count gets cancelled out by their No count directly. CSFS is the only one with no negative reviews so far. This is not to tell you what OP_Code is wining the consensus war, or what to think, but just to give you a rough idea of what's going on on the developer/technical side of Bitcoin. If you are a developer and have not contributed to the table, please do so, if you are not, keep an eye on it, Bitcoin is evolving and development wont stop, so you better know what's going on.

UASF taught the miners that they don't control the network. SPAM wars will teach the nodes that they don't control the network. Nobody does, if you think your faction (or someone else) does, you are in for a very frustrating lesson.

Filteroors back to hating Gloria for the sake of hating women who code because they don't have a single technical argument. All that's left is attacking people, arbritary morals and culture wars.

These guys already have GSR while we are fucking discussing Covenants for 3 years in a row.

The absolute state of HODL culture. "Lazlo didn't understand Bitcoin" "Spending Bitcoin is incredibly foolish" "Money is not for transacting, just storing economic energy" Saylorites really have absolutely no idea of what makes Bitcoin special.

Let me make this joke just once more: Blocksize wars - Any% speedrun (World record)

So this just happened lol

Como se nota que en Latinoamérica no hemos visto a un ultra derechista en la puta vida.

Fight me

Everyone forgets basic Bitcoin stuff once their idea of what Bitcoin is gets tested by reality.

Liar

Ok guys @BitBoxSwiss who sent me 40 kilos of printed booklets? Not funny! I'm taking these babies to this year's Watch Out Bitcoin conference @Wo_Bitcoin and I'm gonna give them out for free, lets see how you like that!

Can any of the filterbois explain sub sat/vbyte summer to me? 99% of the nodes are filtering those transactions and they are still getting in, and it isn't more expensive because it's actually cheaper.

All these claims are the exact same claims Bcashers made. The big difference is Bcashers had the balls to fork off to their own chain that does what they want it to do.

Bitcoiners when a database that's fundamentally designed to grow with usage grows with usage

Come como un camionero ✅ Está flaco ✅ Está pelado ✅ Dice aupa ✅ Definitivamente es vasco

All I need to outperform this guy

If you fear the state so much why even use Bitcoin? Just comply with laws and use FIAT.

If Carman joining Taproot Wizard isn't the ultimate signal that Bitcoin culture is shifting completely and that the chain wont ossify, I don't know what is.

Just used eCash for the first time. It's just custodial Lightning but your account is a private key (Nostr style) instead of your email. Is this really what people are hyped about?

If you want the spam to stop there are 2 very simple solutions: 1) Outbid it 2) Change fundamentally how computers work so you can get rid of stenography It isn't that hard to understand.

Aside from the salary being a Bitcoin Core maintainer must be a terrible job. -Everyone things you own the project but you can't do anything actually -Every subgroup thinks you have been captured by every other subgroup -Constant insults from people -Nobody is happy with your job

You fucking lying machine!!!!!! YOU CAN GENERATE PICTURES!!!

Ok guys, you have to pick one, either Core devs are blue haired woke trans virgin furries or they are massive gigachads who bang their interns and give them responsibility positions in order to keep banging them. They can't be both things at once.

Are you ready for the suitcoiners crashing Bitcoin after they try to get a 12% compound weekly yield on a derivative or a derivative of a derivative of a debt based instrument of a derivative of a yield farming scheme on top of paper Bitcoin held by 32 trusted custodians?

Can anyone believe it? That after 2 years of everyone in the anti-filter camp explaining repeatedly that the only solution to "SPAM" is forking and trusting a 3rd party, the head filteroor is seriously considering forking and trusting 3rd parties? WHO COULD HAVE EXPECTED THIS?

The people telling you that Bitcoin will die if someone puts CSAM inside the chain, will put CSAM just to scare you off into trusting them with control over your node software and your hashrate.

Maxi drama of the week: People who don't use Bitcoin Core are mad because somebody opened a PR they didn't like to the Bitcoin Core repo. They already forked Core years ago.

I am PakoVM and I am addicted to arguing with retards who will never change their opinion even after being shown proof and empirical evidence on the internet.

People you disagree with being able to use Bitcoin in ways you disapprove of is a feature not a bug. You know what? It's not just a feature, it's the whole reason for the system to exist.

To those who are super salty about Saylor being now a "crypto guy" instead of a "laser eye'd maxi", you deserve this level of disappointment and worse. You were never here for Bitcoin, all you cared about was your lifestyle choices being validated by someone with money and influence, now that the guy validating most of your dogmatic views has shown his true colors you will find another dogmatic guy to validate your views who will betray you as soon as he is popular and "untouchable" enough by the dogmatic cult-like lifestyle you dug yourself in. Nice weekend, stop being retarded.

You guys have never met a latina IRL and it shows

Trump just told people that the anti-estate, cypherpunk dream is dead and they all applauded it, wtf is wrong with people?

By Shadow being absolutely peak, that's how.

>I was acting as my own custodian for my LN Address. >Lights went out last night. >@getAlby's Albyhub lost count of the sats held in my isolated connection. >Sats still in node but not credited to pakovm@getalby.com I successfully rugged myself.

Later today, I will submit a new BIP proposal for public review: Redefinition of Zero-Confirmation Transactions to "NotYetInaBlock" (NYIB) Abstract This BIP proposes renaming "zero-confirmation transactions" (0-conf) to "NotYetInaBlock" (NYIB). This rebranding aims to instill confidence that such transactions are pending but reliable for settlement. By reframing 0-conf with a positive, forward-looking name, this proposal improves user trust and accelerates adoption for payments. Motivation The term "0-conf" implies incompleteness and risk, discouraging its use in commerce. "NotYetInaBlock" reframes NYIB transactions as pending inclusion rather than incomplete, promoting trust and usability. NYIB conveys optimism and inevitability, helping users and merchants view these transactions as reliable while still technically accurate. Specification 1. Terminology Update Replace "0-conf" with "NotYetInaBlock" (NYIB) across wallets, APIs, and documentation. 2. User Messaging Wallets should present NYIB transactions as reliable for most payments with messaging like: > "This transaction is NotYetInaBlock but nearly settled!" 3. Visual Branding Add a positive icon (e.g., progress checkmark) beside NYIB transactions in wallets and explorers. 4. Educational Campaign Promote NYIB through slogans such as: > "NotYetInaBlock: Basically There! Rationale 1. Usability "NotYetInaBlock" reassures users they can accept payments confidently, accelerating commerce. 2. Optimistic Framing NYIB avoids "0-conf's" connotation of risk by emphasizing pending success. 3. Perception Management A better name reshapes how users see Bitcoin’s settlement process. Perception drives adoption. Addressing Criticism What about double-spending risks? While NYIB doesn’t eliminate risks, confidence-building terminology mitigates hesitation. Vibes matter. Won’t this confuse users? "NotYetInaBlock" is intuitive, self-explanatory, and far friendlier for newcomers. Backward Compatibility For Developers: Update all tools and docs to replace 0-conf with NYIB. For Users: "0-conf" will still function as legacy terminology during the transition. Implementation Timeline 1. Phase 1 (3 months): Introduce "NotYetInaBlock" alongside 0-conf. 2. Phase 2 (6 months): Fully replace 0-conf with NYIB. 3. Phase 3 (12+ months): NYIB becomes the sole term in use. Conclusion Renaming zero-confirmation transactions to "NotYetInaBlock" (NYIB) reframes settlement delays positively, increasing trust, usability, and adoption. NYIB makes Bitcoin simpler, friendlier, and more optimistic. After all, it’s not about confirmations you lack but the confirmations you’re about to get.

So this thing works in Amazon Spain. Great job @AquaBitcoin

Breaking news!!! Person who couldn't change Bitcoin the way they wanted leaves it. Paint me surprised. But he didn't actually leave Bitcoin and will come back later with a newer, better Bitcoin that can't be spammed (it will be spammed).

CTV: Controversial BIP-444: Not Controversial Yet they think they are not inside an information bubble propped up by social media algorithms.

This is what we wanted guys!!! BANKS!!

I'll be running the BIP-444 activation client the moment it drops because I really want to see a chainsplit at >2T$ valuation.

ES: Feliz de anunciarles que seré yo la persona dándoles soporte en español (y también en inglés). EN: I'm happy to announce that I'll be the person giving you Spanish support (also English).

In Bitcoin we also find him retarded, he is just a very stupid guy trapped in the culture wars pipeline.

Somebody ping me when we start having actually productive conversations, this shit is fucking tiring and a waste of time.

Really happy with what we did for this year's @Wo_Bitcoin, it was awesome and real fun! I'm really thankful for @BitBoxSwiss for trusting me, and @jokoono for being here with me at the booth. I am really thankful as well for finally meeting amazing industry leaders such as @tierotiero, @roy_breez and @michael1011at and sharing a beer and a table with them. And most of all, thankful for @Guerrilla_BTC, @decentralized_b and @espibtc's work on putting all of this together. Next part is in Spanish: Tampoco puedo dejar de estar agradecido de haber conocido en persona a gente como @manuferraritano, @Mariellangsaez, @lunaticoin y @escuelitabtc, además de haber compartido una vez más con grandes como @heptapodae, @tonimoral23, @leoMCY1 , @danielpcostas, @jobe1811 y @GaboHBeaumont y ver como van creciendo poco a poco sus nuevos proyectos, y sin dejar atrás el volver haber visto y compartido con gente como @criptobastardo, @BtcAndres y @LOReBitcoin. Ha sido un evento excelente.

Oh no! They are killing Bitcoin by *checks notes* paying for miner revenue while *checks notes* not breaking any standardness rules and *checks notes* getting into Knots and Ocean mempools. Somebody fix the filters please!

Have you guys tried not being poor?

Hope: is gonna be terrible Dream: People finally migrate to an easy to use and stable Linux distro.

Luke Dash Senior

5+1 maintainers and nobody took a look at that change, incredible.

I won't "sell my Bitcoin", don't be stupid. But I will call you out for being a fucking NgU cultist and all you said you were against not so long ago. Bitcoin will outlive your regardation.

Lopp: "The world will keep changing whether Bitcoin changes or not, so our best option is to cater to well though out changes that preserve Bitcoin's properties despite all else." Song: "I don't want to update my books, it's frustrating having to keep studying stuff.

Using @Breez_Tech's new Misty wallet has changed my opinion on Liquid as a product. I really have to hand it to them, and the team behind @Boltzhq the wallet is awesome, and the UX is undeniable better than anything I've used so far.

33K people understand that fakehistoryporn is a satire subreddit and that the post was actually a joke.

Next time use pornhub like a normal person

Peter, and you of all people should know that Lightning as it is today does not scale ownership, meaning that self-custody is out of the question here, please don't lie to yourself nor others, be pragmatic and stick to reality.

If you're a Bitcoiner and don't fall for the alt-right/tradwife/"traditional values" psyop, Laura's account is a goldmine, the responses from other people are so irrational it makes yourself ask if there's actually people who really think like that in this world.

Anti Lightning crowd in shambles

Amazing how many people hate Ver only because of the blocksize war, be objective people, even if you don't like Ver what they are doing to him is terrible and he should be set free.

Chromatic aberration can look amazing when done well, just look at Shadow Generations.

There are levels of safety for these products, the safer, the lesser the residue. You shouldn't be boiling low safety plastics such as your common Tupperware, but these bags are specifically made for this purpose.
