Craig is so fucked. This forensic proof that he was sending emails back and forth to himself between two different accounts is hilarious!
The moron took photos of his own computer screen (while pretending to be someone else) but there were icons on the screen showing his face as being the logged in account! 🤡
Pretty much, but a far simpler and more secure protocol.
If a chain split would only cause a divergence between a really old client version and a recent client version, but nobody runs the really old version, has the chain even split?
I'm in the gym, pumping my physical muscles with iron and between sets I'm pumping my mental muscles dunking on Craig cultists.
BSV shills haven't a clue how amusing it is to piss them off. They hurl their best (idiotic) insults my way and I just laugh.
They don't realize that I've been swarmed by actual Bitcoin cyberhornets on many occasions and am now immune to their pinpricks.
Be aware that critical security updates will not be announced in release notes.
Because doing so puts unpatched nodes at risk.
I mostly poke fun at Mastodon, but something interesting happened last week that got me thinking. I received several messages via the protocol that I needed to update my instance to patch a vulnerability.
How did this happen? My instance publicly lists my Mastodon handle as being the admin, so folks could scan the Fediverse of instances for unpatched versions and message their admins.
Last week I was researching Bitcoin node versions and how long it takes operators to update. I realized that the average time to update is increasing over the years. My suspicion is this is a result of more hobbyist node operators who aren't technical and are running a user friendly plug and play node. So they are less likely to be checking the node for updates.
Point being, nostr seems like a great solution for the notification problem. Imagine if you could paste your npub into node / any other server software upon installation. The server could generate its own private key and establish an encrypted DM channel with you. Then whenever an update is available, you could be notified in your nostr client.
Voila, secure and decentralized update notifications for server admins!

Are node operators sleeping on the job? I take a look at upgrade patterns in my latest post:

OK, yet they're bragging about having tens of millions of dollars in activity when testnet coins have 0 value.
Turns out it's the SatoshiVM scam. Fuckers are running a scam on testnet! 🤡
I guess you didn't attend comedy school.
College tuition is an investment into a school's asset management fund with no recourse to get a return on your investment.
Critical Mastodon CVE just dropped!
Larry David got paid in crypto, presumably deposited into an FTX account, for his FTX commercial.
Don't be like Larry!

Another fun day fucking with Craig cultists on the bird site.

10 years ago today we met "Professor Bitcoin" - it's rather amusing to see how poorly his statements have aged.
On the bright side, that's $100,000,000 worth of premined tokens that won't be spent FUDding Bitcoin. Couldn't have happened to a nicer wanna-be CBDC!
