Bitcoin Core question:
Am I missing something here, or?
There is no longer a static example bitcoin.conf, so you have to generate it dynamically using a script (contrib/devtools/gen-bitcoin-conf.sh), but that script is not part of the binary distribution? (right?)
And there isn't documentation listing the meaning of all the configuration options to put into the file (which is what you get by running the above script, I believe)? (maybe I'm wrong? my searching is drawing a blank). As an example of that, see this:
https://github.com/MrChrisJ/fullnode/blob/master/Setup_Guides/bitcoin.conf
.. but that's very old, and obv it's better to be able to create your own.
It used to be the case a long time ago that running bitcoind would autogenerate a bitcoin.conf, but that's no longer true either.
How does someone running bitcoind from the binary distribution, figure out how to set config options?
That’s a fucking good question. Personally I refer to loops config generator tool, but there really should be a pre baked config file with # notes

You are the small pebble that starts and avalanche
Nostr on an apple device is kinda a Larp if you really want to say something bordering the limits of “free speech”
Having the legacy options/parameter clearly defined and untouched while adding a new one seems wise on the surface to me. clearly demarcates the thing to end users. it's somewhat disclosure too. Otherwise you may be mixing legacy parameter behavior and expanding it's scope without disclosure (other than release notes)?
I keep forgetting this, despite running that on my nodes. thanks for the reminder
tongue in cheek. it should more accurately be another parameter, like Dataspam=1 or 0
Datacarrier=3 for removing ordinals and stamps spam

@LukeDashjr what happened to your twitter account?

It is with great disappointment that I write this thread about Bitcoin Magazine.
I personally have high standards for what constitutes a "Bitcoin" conference. I do not want to pay to be bombarded by shitcoiners and their ilk. But last year, the Bitcoin 2022 conference did just that. It was heavily infiltrated by those promoting NFTs, blockchain, crypto, DeFi, shitcoins, centralized yeild farming exchanges and algorithmic stablecoins.
Many of them were even sponsors!
Bitcoin Magazine enabled these 3rd party middlemen, their shitcoins, corruption and products. In exchange they accepted their fiat sponsorship, and then turned around and invested that fiat heavily into Three Arrows Capital and GBTC.
They have lost millions of dollars on these shitcoin and paper IOU trades.
It is extremely concerning to see that now, Bitcoin Magazine is selling NFTs at auction for a minimum 10 BTC each. It's surreal to see them crossing the rubicon into shitcoin-scam city.
Are Bitcoin Magazines finances really so bad that they need to stoop so low as to sell receipts of JPEGs on a centralized standard?
It is clear that they have sold out to the highest bidder before. But this is a new low.
Before they were simply enabling the scammers and being paid for it. Last year's shilling of shitcoins on stage by Novogratz and O'Leary highlighted this. Now they are removing the middleman and going direct as NFT scam peddlers themselves!
It was never Bitcoin Magazine directly doing the scamming. They were just letting it happen. Now they really have their hands fully in the shit.
In conclusion, I urge the Bitcoin community to boycott Bitcoin Magazine until they take steps to promote the Bitcoin ethos and contain the shitcoiners. The community has the power to demand higher standards for Bitcoin conferences and publications. Let us use that power to ensure that Bitcoin Magazine does not promote distractions and subversive elements to the Bitcoin ethos.
Some things you can do is
Organize your own unconference Bitcoin meetups in the area from May 18th-20th.
Don't attend their conference or buy their products.
Let them know your displeasure on social media.
Send a variation of this letter to their email [contact@btcmedia.org](mailto:contact@btcmedia.com) (use chatGPT for a different version of this letter)
Depending on their response, further actions may be forth coming, my goal with this letter is for them to at least stop selling and promoting shitcoins themselves.
If you work for Bitcoin Magazine and also feel the same way as this letter, consider speaking out or getting in touch.
