Someone's lying to you

Core changed theirs to 80, but 40 is what the standard was.

If they don't want to comply, that's fine, but blaming me for their decision not to is dishonest.

No, this is a bug in Samourai's implementation.

Other conjoin implementations work fine afaik.

Your node has limited impact by itself, but the more people who fix this, eventually yes

Yes and no

By the byte, yes

But they also enable miners to make the blocks larger (which is a second bad effect)

Replying to nobody

Hey nostr:npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk this is the first I've heard of it. Thanks for putting this out there.

Is Bitcoin Knots a drop in replacement for core or do I need to build a different config and redownload the chain?

Drop in replacement

PSA: “Inscriptions” are exploiting a vulnerability in #Bitcoin Core to spam the blockchain. Bitcoin Core has, since 2013, allowed users to set a limit on the size of extra data in transactions they relay or mine (`-datacarriersize`). By obfuscating their data as program code, Inscriptions bypass this limit.

This bug was recently fixed in Bitcoin Knots v25.1. It took longer than usual due to my workflow being severely disrupted at the end of last year (v24 was skipped entirely).

Bitcoin Core is still vulnerable in the upcoming v26 release. I can only hope it will finally get fixed before v27 next year.

Currently 10 TBC (0.01048576 BTC)

Planning to make it configurable

8 times the current difficulty, so each share should be on average paid in 8 blocks

TIDES is basically PPLNS as it was originally supposed to be, with a very long N.

PPLNS today has become something very different, so we picked a new name to avoid confusion

Maybe a basic AF question but:

If my machines are offline when Ocean finds a block do I get paid for previous shares completed?

As a home heating miner I have quite variable hashrate.

Yes, until there's 8 blocks of work done after it

If you were waiting for me to publish my new "master" OpenPGP key announced at #FutureOfBitcoinMining, it should now be available from keyserver.ubuntu.com along with signatures:

- master key signing codesigning key (used for Knots v25.1)

- master key signing security communication key (for email about security issues)

- codesigning key signing master key

Master key: 93CB4961F69A65082D4410802CBA8253089655C3

Codesigning key: 1A3E761F19D2CC7785C5502EA291A2C45D0C504A

Security comms key: FAC098FE8DF9975F902418813666E2B1782A18E1

There was a minor issue with one of the three main features that we promptly fixed. 🙄

The known-late feature (better spam filtering) was not advertised yet as it wasn't/isn't ready.

Only part right now. Hopefully the rest eventually
