Sounds great and valuable

At the front of my mind lately is education around node/bitcoin core updates. Node running has become easier and more convenient but with convenience comes complacency. Its a ways off, but one day I can imagine a fork being accomplished by user-friendly node OSs simply pushing an update to core without many novice noderunners even noticing, or timely noticing. Maybe it's a naive concern but it's something I've been thinking about lately.

everythingi needed to know about the network came from the free online bitcoin course from princeton from like 2013. would highly recommend

More education to more people is never a bad thing.

I agree Jack. I have been trying to explain this to my friends and have not been able to articulate it in a great way. Could you talk about Developers, Core/Knots ect. and consensus/nodes? I think there is a lot of confusion around "who controls Bitcoin" especially with Black rock getting into the game. Love the podcasts man, you dad is awesome with really great insight!

Great - the more the better. Would suggest letting viewers know approx level of technical detail you’ll cover and for those just learning, offer some alternate resources for starting with the basics. Also, I’m always looking for ways to explain the different roles and benefits of miners, nodes, validation, etc. just mapping out the different components of the protocol v network. Thanks again for all you’ve done so far and keep it up!

We always do.

Great! ⚡️😊👍

A lot of people think bitcoin core is a threat because it is “centralized”

We can always use more education. Cartoon animations is an underutilized route too. Simplicity and being concise is key. Ppl have short attention spans, think tiktok / YouTube shorts style. Normies don’t read

Strike's roadmap

Keep it simple for a regular folk to understand. You got this!

It’s a great initiative, moreover you are very clear and you can speak to youngsters and elderly people, everyone gets your message clearly.

We Definitely do need more educational vids for the masses. This is a short non-technical video I made to onboard more normies to nostr, feel free to share 😉 : https://m.primal.net/HnUB.mp4 I also made this one about cashu: https://m.primal.net/HsMt.mp4

Prereq for listeners: read The Blocksize War

The more the better, would love to see it!

Yes, please do

Knowledge is power, educate us Jack

💯

Idk man. I think people are just lazy and don't wanna learn

Can you talk about ossification vs updates to the base layer

Yes

More 'boots-on-ground' educators.

This guy in Utah needs a lot of education: https://www.coindesk.com/consensus-magazine/2024/04/12/the-halving-highlights-why-bitcoin-needs-to-upgrade/

Absolutely! I was just learning about how the encryption works and man does that make you BULLISH

YES

More developers going through code. Learning the language is much easier when you have real world applications to compare with.

Yes we need - if you published it to Strike users (many of whom have probably never spent time on Nostr or Bitcoin Twitter) it would be a meaningful value-add.

hell yeah we do need more education around all of those subjects period

Lol this has opensats/ODELL/Saylor vibes

Please discuss ocean mining and censoring of whirlpool transactions

This is the reminder I need to work on some courses and some open forums

no

1. I want a broader explanation of how I can "vote" with my node. It feels as if the miners have all the decision power. But I've read otherwise. It's confusing.

Also, I would like to know if I can "vote" for certain "things" with my node. For example, I want to "punish" spam on the timechain. Or "disable" Taproot on my Bitcoin Core version v26.0.0.

Can I switch on/off certain aspects brought onto my node by the devs?

Is it an all-or-nothing thing?

2. I didn't fully understand the last implementation of Taproot. I read that the miners were voting on it, but I (the node owner) was never asked to vote. Does only those who "have proven to work" have the right to vote.

Do us --the users-- have any saying besides this or that Bitcoin Core version we choose to run?

yes to BTC education. most of the world knows BTC now but to buy it, use it , store .... phew its a journey!

Ditto @ATL| Anti-Toxity League comment. Crypto needs to understand they are working for the same goals. Different approaches should be encouraged and communcation channels kept open.

United we stand, Divided ....

Yes. I always want to learn from the people who know.

I really enjoyed your Madeira talk.

Since you asked… I absolutely want bitcoin to succeed long term. I understand the case for software maintenance over time. I’d say my concern is that while we technically can read the code of open source projects or proposed changes, most of our community (myself included) aren’t savvy enough to do that- or do that well. We will fall back to other people’s assessments or summaries, which may or may not be accurate. The “experts” might be in conflict. We might have our trusted voices whose opinion we hold high, but there’s risk there too. I appreciate the ones who are full time in this space- but a lot of us aren’t even if we run nodes, etc. At the end of the day- none us want to break this with a self inflicted wound by a malicious actor who broke the trust.

Yes, we need more education about that stuff. For the lower part of the bell curve please

never enough education bro 🆒

I've long maintained that Bitcoiners are, overall, great educators. Most of the time we have shitty students.

It's on us the teachers to stay resolute, be persistent.

Quaalcom are known for publishing extremely minimal documentation of their chips so that customers are required to partner with their engineers to get any software running on them.

What we need is the ability to buy actual practical things in real life.

Unless I can buy my coffee or burger or smokes with bitcoin, is it really useful beyond an "asset"?

I don't think so.

We still expect to see #Bitcoin to have a parabolic move to top out at $300K+ this cycle, Until then just keep stacking, and build your sats with passive arbitrage pattern to 100x your sats.

If you haven't join the rebelcapitalist vip group already, I would highly recommend it for passive accumulation.

RCL is one of the *super underrated*, extremely knowledgeable OG #Bitcoiner and newsletters, for expert trading market philosophy.

Absolutely. We definitely need that

Yes please. Anything that could complement content such as developer.bitcoin.org and make it easier to wrap your head around some of the technical details would help onboard new keen developers such as itself.

Education? Aren’t the books like mastering #bitcoin, inventing #Bitcoin, @Gigi ⚡🧡 ‘s 21 Lessons, or the fucking white paper enough? Aren’t the nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy's podcasts among many others enough education?

#inflation is the best education! Those suckers who suffer it without doing anything and still praise the fiat and the governments are walking to extinction.

This is why I’m working with PlabB Network and moving to ES to launch https://caos.global/
