My Satoshi Probability Chart

How's that Git on Nostr thing going, guys? Starts to feel more and more important.

If you’ve never been to Lugano, Switzerland for the Lugano Plan B Forum I HIGHLY recommend you do so…

The city is unreal, and the conference is insanely high signal: Bitcoin and freedom of speech.

Shoutout to the whole Plan B team — it was amazing to be back again.

Is this an official signal press release?

Just finished editing my video for Wallet of Satoshi self custodial mode.

This was my first experience using and learning about Spark as a Bitcoin layer 2.

My key takeaways:

-everything worked seamlessly

-no need for lightning channels or liquidity management

-the switch from custodial to self custody is simple (a few clicks)

-options for traditional seed or encrypted cloud backup

-still learning about Spark trade-offs, there is some trust involved, better than custodial, not as good as full self custody on chain

-Unilateral exit is possible but tools seem sparse in these early days

Video drops tomorrow!

Not to say I'm with Luke. Neither camp seems sane at this point. May be time to ossify until folks have a chance to grow up.

Bitcoin is not a finished product. We may be on a detour to address spam, and part of the crisis did originate with (mishandling of) the Segwit and Taproot upgrades - but to improve the world, we still need more functionality. Stopping all improvements forever ("ossifying") is fatal.

Part of addressing the issues with Core needs to be ensuring we don't repeat the same mistakes: if an upgrade introduces unforeseen vulnerabilities, those need to get addressed in a timely manner. All protocol changes require support from the entire community, so we developers are going to have to earn that reputation back.

There are fairly simple, low-risk softforks like CTV, or even a consensus cleanup (though I have reservations about BIP 54), that should not introduce vulnerabilities, and could be a starting point to regain confidence after Core is out of the picture.

The next step up is probably native zero-knowledge support, BitVM optimisations, and similar. This is when it *might* make sense to start considering Bitcoin L1 "complete", and capable of handling further improvements and even scaling on true trustless sidechains. We have a long road to get there still, and every step will take consensus - possibly quick mitigation of unforeseen outcomes - but we shouldn't lose sight of the end goal: a decentralised currency that nobody can undermine, and hopefully one day onboard the entire global economy.

It's possible to accomplish, but we will have to work for it.

Outside of Bitcoin life, I race triathlons.

I came in 19/204 in today’s race, and 2nd for my age group.

Feeling pretty good about the performance, as I raced just 36 hours after getting off a flight from Tokyo to New York.

Let’s gooooooo 🚀

lets play a game

guess the usd bitcoin price exactly a month from now

sep 26th 2025 - 0414 UTC

closest guess will be zapped 5555 sats

only guesses made within the next 24 hours qualify

(if i think you are a bot you are disqualified)

How about 1 sat per #nostr post? To a LN channel controlled by a pool of Relay runners? ⚡️

We would actually love to come!

This drier is a prototype and hard to ship but we'll see if we can hash up something a bit smaller...

Also. Took a mental note. You sir are now on our "organic pre-orders" list 😅

JUST IN: "You need to decide which is more important to you: censoring spam, or having Bitcoin remain uncensorable. I know where I stand," says Adam Back.

#Bitcoin has stange side effects.

Every time I buy something, but especially when tax is stated explicitly, my stomach turns.

Just they idea they can take my money and spend it on things I absolutely disagree with to the point it actually hurts me or is used to limit my freedom, finance wars....

It is disgusting !

He's not making excuses. He is acknowledging his wrongness while shifting goalposts.

Do you find it concerning that one mining pool found 8 Bitcoin blocks in a row this weekend?

Android wins over apple again. Lol

NEW: "Every week, there is a Bitcoiner, at least one in the world, who gets kidnapped, tortured, extorted, and even worse.

We have seen cases of kidnappings for as little as $6K worth of crypto, and people murdered for $50K in crypto," says SatoshiLabs founder Alena Vranova.
