What’s the sentiment on bitcoin nostr?

Core v30 or knots?

Or core v29 or older?

Giant #Bitcoin whitepaper spotted at the Coinbase office 🙌

With Cashu, we're building an Ecash protocol, not an app. Use one of dozens of apps or write your own. Use one of dozen libraries or implement it yourself. Use one of dozens of mints or run your own. Cashu is designed to empower you, not to lock you in.

You don't need permission. Use it the way you want. It's yours.

That's what's cool about bitcoin, you can't really take it by force the same way

Don't let the bad actors trick you into thinking Bitcoin Core 30 allows you to re-enable the datacarrier limit:

1) Along with unlimiting the default, they also broke it further. datacarriersize=83 now (as of Core 30) allows for 83 outputs totalling 830 bytes of spam, instead of just 92 bytes of spam (9 bytes of which couldn't be arbitrary) as in Core 29 and earlier.

2) datacarriersize is marked as deprecated, and explicitly planned to be removed in a future release (likely silently, since "it's already deprecated").

3) Core never fixed the Inscription exploits (CVE-2023-50428 and CVE-2024-34149) which allow spammers to bypass the datacarriersize limit.

The only way forward now is a mass migration to Knots. Not the way I wanted things to go, but Core has given us no other choice. Once this is resolved, we should avoid putting all our eggs in one basket, and encourage the creation and use of multiple clients.

Taproot fee selection: what’s that about?

Taproot lets one wallet hide many spend paths.

Different path → different weight on-chain → different fee required.

So we added two ways to handle it:

• Manual: see every path and its fee. Tap the one you want.

•Automatic: if cheap-vs-costly is ≤ 10 % or $0.20, we default to the pricier path. Tweak the thresholds or turn them off any time.

As Bitcoin smart contracts get more complex and the subsidy era fades, fee variability will keep growing, both within a single path and across multiple paths, even before you factor in fee-bumping tools like RBF or CPFP.

We’re building a solution that’s easy to use and puts you in control.

I’d zap you more sats but I’m saving up for my unrealized gains bill.

The Core / Knots drama makes soooooo much more sense when you realize the sole Knots developer truly believes that his life savings of several hundred BTC was stolen by a Core developer. His life savings for which he was managing the keys on an internet connected laptop...

Everyone should be prepared to resist a security provider if necessary and be watchful to not let potential threats go unnoticed.
