the coinbase compromise was way worse than they made it seem

apparently offsite customer service reps had full database access to transaction history, including bitcoin addresses, home addresses, phone numbers, emails, and bank info

"Monetary activity will out compete spam for block space."

This is a baseless assertion made by the moderates. (They are moderates because they are at least prepared to admit spam exists and that it is bad).

You can get 85 thousand computers to store your data for free. Forever! Or at least until they get sick of doing it.

Unless Bitcoiners work *extremely hard* to make leeching off the network as cumbersome and expensive as possible, spammers *will* turn Bitcoin's blockchain into a mechanism for storing unwanted data on the computers of unpaid volunteers.

The fact that we can't even update spam filters without a fight tells anyone paying attention that Bitcoin is being stewarded by people who don't understand how it can be attacked, let alone how they might go about defending it.

JUST IN: $9.3 TRILLION VANGUARD TELLS BLOOMBERG THAT THEY STILL DON'T PLAN ON OFFERING #BITCOIN TO THEIR CLIENTS

"WE DON'T THINK BTC IS A GOOD LONG-TERM ASSET" HISTORIC MISTAKE 🔥

Someone remind me, was the name “sats” for the base unit ever defined in a BIP?

Of course it wasn’t. And we don’t need one to change it now.

Never trust self-appointed “experts” to do the grassroots work of the plebs.

GN 🌙 PV 🤙

Stop taking American unit suggestions seriously otherwise we'll rename sats to football fields or Olympic swimming pools or something

holy fucking fuck. he still doubles down on his stupidity.

Nobody should. Nip-04 is trash and most apps need to fully delete it.

I have to decide on how to handle this edge case in the rely framework I am building:

1. a client sends a REQ

2. a client sends an EVENT that matches the REQ

Should I return the event or not? The following is a screenshot of a khatru relay, that returns the event.

I think there is a real world pattern in support of returning it: a lot of people follow themselves to have feedback on whether their posts were successfully stored on the relay.

I still dont get it. lol

if it does do anything, and people who are doing inscriptions won't use it. and even with the limit people still bypass it. then why are we removing the limit?

Are we trying to encourage some people to use it? but they won't.

what is this stupid limit, why does it exist, and why are we removing it? lol

was part of the 1% of holders that voted yes. :,(

We get it & we’re here for you 🫂

Find your people.

Come to a Meetup!

I can't tell which is worse, if a government runs a surplus or a deficit

Surplus means they stole so much fucking money even the government couldn't spend it

Yet many people point to a surplus as some kind of fiscal responsibility

This thing can buy 13 Bitcoin.

Is there a good steelman of removing the byte constraint?
