There is some exciting news about Ocean Mining

Their measured hashrate for the past 24 hours as well as their self-reported hashrate both place them as a top-10 mining pool

I think this is the first time both metrics put them in the top 10

Keep adding hashrate! Fight the spam!

If you’re begging for the state to surveil and criminally prosecute people who disagree with you, you’re on the wrong side of history.

yes

The Bitcoin Core vs Knots debate is framed as “pro-spam” vs “anti-spam.”

This is obviously a false dichotomy.

Core isn’t “pro-spam” and running Bitcoin Core on your node does not make YOU “pro-spam.”

Anyone who frames it as such is either purposefully gaslighting or retarded.

Absolutely. Keep building and defending the good 🫡

The incentive at the root of evil is to destroy and twist what is beautiful and good, because the evil side cannot create things like the good side can.

You see this with Marxism, they build ugly buildings, break apart families, only loyalty to the state is allowed, no pleasure even. Nothing of the GOOD that God intended for people. They also change the meaning of words to accomplish their goals.

It’s a framework of humanity explained in the Bible, the devil rebels from God out of frustration, pride, and envy. The devil then starts twisting God’s creation into things that the devil claims as is own. The devil tries to make the things as ugly and terrible as possible so that God will not take them back or forgive them. (God wins in the end because Christ sacrificed himself for the ugliest and most terrible anyway.)

I’m not sure of the secular analogy.

To me I don’t see another way these core devs could be so flippant, dismissive, and arrogant about the most important software project on earth, with very little sense of humility or stewardship.

Either way- many are not consciously doing harm, the truth will wake them up sooner or later.

Hasrate secures the network. Not just against 51% attacks. Mining is what builds and confirms blocks. The security of the chain is based on proof or work. We are in agreeance. Miners must comply with nodes. Yes. Your mempool is not your node. It's just the memory of your computer set aside to hold unconfirmed transactions. It has nothing to say about what does and doesn't get mined. That would require a concensous change. A hard fork if you will. Something like removing opreturn entirely or rolling back Segwit.

Nope they just launch into paragraphs of Marxist redefinition technocrat babble instead.

Yes, and we’ll see how the reception of v30 goes. Defaults matter.

Imagine having to tell our kids:

We had this great opportunity to be free from the fiat criminal system that aligned banks and governments against us and made it able to control us and take our wealth, fund everlasting wars with it, and so on.

We didn't have to turn to violence to break this system, putting unimaginable numbers of human lives at stake, we only had to start using this new money, a system given to us for FREE....

"But daddy what happened ?"

Well we let it taken away from us since some thought it was nice to embed JPEG's and other bullshit onchain.....

Yes, and look at no response from the technocrat. Can’t even address the actual complete case study on BSV.

That's factually right. It's in the fucking whitepaper... Hasrate and proof of work are what secures Bitcoin. Miners are beholden to nodes ultimately. If the nodes change concensous the miner must change to the new fork or risk mining tokens nobody wants.

Miners secure Bitcoin. Miners are beholden to nodes.

Spam can be filtered from YOUR MEMPOOL. You cannot prevent a consensus transaction, no matter what your mempool policies are. As it should be.

You're so uninformed... ordinals don't even use OP return...

Wyd kind of response is that? I can prove knots has not stopped any transactions from being mined if they are in concensous. Your "proof" is some vague memes and the decision of one miner to do a certain things.

Where? Because I've proven you wrong. I can show you on chain.

Yes, that's the motivation right? Do you hear yourself?

Just did some research on the current Bitcoin Core Dev team. I'm out, it's over. Just updated my profile. I'm pretty sure I'm liquidating everything soon.

I am simply shocked at how asleep everyone in Bitcoin is. I'm doubly astounded how the whole thing rests on 5-7 Devs. Triply shocked when examining the new individuals on the Core Team. Why am I even having to talk about other human beings ... in terms of MONEY.

It's all been a lie .... the code is ALL HUMAN and it's been changing and CORE 30 is the end of the game.

Bitcoin is so interpersonal I want to bathe in acid and scrub with a wire brush for hours.

Next target 1 million 🍻

Poor brainwashed ignoramus 😔

You loosen shoe strings to take your shoes off. You don’t loose your time.

He said there was a CEO of Kaspa. Who is it if this is true?

Cause if a ton of garbage lands in the blockchain and the fees gets really high, people will be forced to use blockstreams Liquid BTC

Of course it isn't

Bitcoin lives because it is decentral - this is an attack on that.

My node and many others may disappear if one of these blocks hits the chain

A smart slow death spiral

Personally I like the line in the sand approach

The sub reddit has sucked for years

Run a node. It’s not hard. You can use a crappy laptop with sufficient storage even. No need for fancy os or hardware.

💡 Bitcoin Wisdom #3

Myth: Bitcoin is too slow

Reality: Bitcoin is designed for security and decentralization, not raw speed. Its base layer is robust and programmable, built to last. On top of it, layers like Lightning , Ark, Spark and Liquid enable instant, low-cost payments at scale.
