Bitcoin Puritan BIP-110 #rugthespammers

For the inevitable criticism from techies, I’m happy for someone to do a complete review of what has been built to genuinely see how this system stacks up, especially with security.

This is the state of internet 'regulation' in the UK. Where the incoming head of censorship quango Ofcom has ' “quite deliberately” not met any mainstream tech companies', clearly does not understand how the internet works, and sees VPNs as a 'technical problem' not as an essential tool in the privacy toolkit of every company and individual. We really are cooked, and not just by the weather.

Ord io is shutting down on June 1. Three years ago, we launched our idea for "an Ordinals explorer with upvotes". We had no idea what was about to happen. Since then, Ord io has grown into a platform used by over a million people to explore inscriptions on Bitcoin. It brought us so much joy to ship features like Satributes for discovering the rare sats behind inscriptions and Block Vision for monitoring real-time Runes minting activity. Even simple filters and sorting options took on a life of their own. "Sort by largest inscription" quickly turned into a leaderboard where inscribers competed to create the biggest "four megger". And even the things that annoyed us at the time are funny to look back on now, like when the Bitcoin Puppets community would "raid" other collections so hard that we had to remove the downvote feature. To help preserve some of the Bitcoin culture that happened on Ord io, we'll be uploading the full history of upvotes, replies, and public address profiles to GitHub. That way, if someone wants to build their own Ordinals explorer with this context in the future, they can. Thank you to every single artist, collector, dev, and degen who joined us for this ride 🧡
