Haakon Nilsen aka Norbert ⚡️ Activate CTV + CSFS

This faketoshi cryptocult leader is back to launch an altcoin. He's picked up some tricks from Craig Wright, such as the three-piece suit and getting angry when asked to sign. Will you allow him to be your arch angel?

@PakoVM "Look what you're making me do 😭"

- "None of this would have happened if Core didn't push for v30" Core is not responsible for you being a little bitch.

@calibrated_lies @volpeLP @bitcoincoreorg On top of that, there are minor releases in between majors, changing the code every few months. And I heard that in the git repo, they change the code EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Satoshi weeps.

@bitnorbert @volpeLP @bitcoincoreorg There needs to be changes to the code every six months? Really? Is this Windows?

A new release candidate of Bitcoin Core, v31.0rc1, is available for testing. This is a new major release, and follows v30.2. Work-in-progress release notes are here: github.com/bitcoin-core/b… Binaries are available here: bitcoincore.org/bin/bitcoin-co…

@Sayzryn @BTCsessions @Coinkite @COLDCARDwallet It's an elliptic curve calculator

@BTCsessions @Coinkite @COLDCARDwallet That looks sick If only I knew what it was

Something just arrived...

@volpeLP @bitcoincoreorg There's no rush; major versions of Bitcoin Core are released approximately every six months. v30 was released in October, so v31 is due in April, a target it looks like they'll hit. More on Core's software lifecycle here: bitcoincore.org/en/lifecycle/

@bitcoincoreorg Why the rush out of the sudden?

@notgrubles Arch's reputation for breaking down left and right is like Bitcoin's reputation for constant wild price volatility. It was true at a point, but that was a long time ago. I don't have patience for tinkering. My Arch just works, for years. (But if it ever breaks, lord help me)

Fedora with GNOME is just really good now. Ubuntu fell off in recent years. Arch is for when you have infinite time to fix broken things.

@Arthur_van_Pelt If you're bringing the Van Pelt Gang back together, count me in.

Some collect designer watches, stamps or vintage cars... I collect rare antique pistols and revolvers. A few highlights from my little museum. Revolving tromblon from the late 1700s

Most traders think: Fewer miners = Less security. WRONG! If the remaining hash power is more distributed, the network can actually be healthier at a lower difficulty. The Adjustment is the fail-safe that ensures the network outlives the miners.

@nitesh_btc @ThePrimeagen "The productivity is through the roof, yet nothing really happens." Nails it

If you're a developer using AI, watch this @ThePrimeagen video. I have started experiencing this lately and I think it's making my life worse. I have come to a point in life where I prompt before going to bed and wake up early morning and prompt before brushing my teeth!

@BlueDavid @theonevortex @philip_dath Satoshi made Bitcoin programmable money.

@theonevortex @philip_dath Money should not be programmable, not in the settlement layer.

BIP 110 is the first intentional protocol downgrade in bitcoin's history, actually making it a worse money. Think about that.

@Centbee I agree that your journey has not been credible.

After an incredible journey, we are closing the doors at Centbee Wallet on 1st April 2026. Please ensure you transfer your BSV to an alternative service before then so your funds remain easily accessible. Thank you to everyone who believed in us and supported this vision.

(03:05) - What is its impact on everyday Bitcoin users? (06:21) - How does the mempool work today? (11:52) - Current mempool heuristics and issues (16:37) - Censorship resistance and economic demand (22:56) - Practical implications for exchanges & miners (26:12) - How does cluster mempool work? (29:29) - Transaction clusters & mempool dynamics (37:27) - Should mempools align across the node network? (43:47) - What about other implementations of Bitcoin? (48:17) - Other interesting areas for bitcoin development (52:11) - Closing thoughts

Join Brink in celebrating Niklas Gögge’s (@dergoegge) four years as a Bitcoin Core developer at Brink. Niklas has persistently (and quietly) made Bitcoin harder to break by breaking it himself. We’re grateful to have him doing it...

Consensus has two meanings, network protocol consensus rules, and consensus on the development direction of a single project like Core. Neither of them are voting. Neither of them are a democracy. People who think they are, you are very, VERY, fundamentally confused about what Bitcoin is and how it works. Consensus rules on the network is not voting. It is anarchy. Anyone, at any time, can run whatever consensus rules they want, and form a network an interact with anyone else they want. You CANNOT force anyone to join your network, enforce your rules, or do anything they don't want to. It is 100%, on every level, opt-in and voluntary. Whatever consensus rules you choose to enforce, whatever network you choose to be a part of, is entirely your voluntary choice. No one can force you, they can only make their own entirely voluntary choice. If you don't like them, crying doesn't do shit, go pick different ones. But again, _you can't force anyone else to come with you who doesn't want to_. Pure voluntary, opt-in, non-coercive anarchy. You have no one to cry at except yourself for anything. Now consensus as far as what a software project does, that is not voting, or democracy either. You as a user, have one simple choice: use the software or don't. Not cry at developers to build what you want, not harass individuals over personal things totally irrelevant to the software (THAT YOU DON'T EVEN USE), use it or don't. For years though, that wasn't enough. This entire time, people could run whatever they want, whenever they want, but instead they engaged in non-stop constant harassment of people building software that none of them even use. Lastly: Technical consensus, on what is the right course to go, is not voting. Technical consensus (an actual defined thing: datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc72…) is arrived at when _all ACTUAL concerns have been addressed_. Read: real technical criticism, grounded in logic, not emotional, irrational, or nonsensical bullshit. There is technical consensus on this issue, end of story. If you can't understand why that is, then that is your choice at this point. If you want to intentionally choose to be ignorant, it's your life, have at it.

@coinjoined The letter is dated 2026-02-23, but its QR code leads to a website at a domain that was registered 2026-03-07 🤔 The letter says it's an emergency, but the website says it's about "tomorrow's quantum threats". The signs are there – this might be fake!

It's crazy well made, it even has a physical postage stamp 🤡

🚨PSA: Just received a "quantum emergency update" letter at our business address. Nice try, scammers. Two red flags: 1️⃣ Asking me to "upgrade my seed security" 2️⃣ The email is way too polite to have ever been written by @nvk Stay safe out there. 🧠

@knutsvanholm If there were a button you could press to magically make OpenTimestamps go away forever, would you press it?

Any "bitcoiner" who wants Bitcoin to have more than one use case is just a pathetic shitcoiner scammer larping as a bitcoiner. Don't trust anything people like this say, all they want is to take your money.

@0xGrug @brian_trollz @Lfg0x1 @opnetbtc Great, a lesson in protocol design from the people who photograph their monitors to take a screenshot.

@brian_trollz @Lfg0x1 @opnetbtc You can still open the documentation to read this properly: docs.opnet.org

These are the people pushing BIP-110. To REMOVE things needed to build more Layer 2s, to scale to more people. Talking about "problems in the future" being ignored, as they scream demanding to neuter the entire protocol and cripple our ability to SCALE. THE problem.

@CoinControversy @rodpalmerhodl They're just ultra prepared to accept anything that supports their preferred narrative. Remember when they (Mechanic?) raged that there was a secret mempool policy meeting he wasn't invited to? It was BPI's 2025 Bitcoin Policy Summit.

@rodpalmerhodl it explains why cults and scams work

knotzis are the dumbest fucking people alive lmao

@CatoTheElder17 @murchandamus Yeah. Let's hope Luke doesn't merge Cluster Mempool into Knots.

@murchandamus So does it give Citrea and similar companies better visibility to spam the mempool and also Bitcoin? It sure looks like it.

Cluster Mempool is foremost a local node improvement. It optimally sorts unconfirmed transactions, which makes it faster for your node to process transactions and build blocks, and it optimizes fees from block templates—regardless of what transactions you admit to your mempool.

@zndtoshi @felipecreate Wrong. Eight of them are on nostr.

@felipecreate Yes

All my friends that I convinced to buy Bitcoin have no idea about the bip110 drama. Only people on Twitter know about this. So reckless.

We've past feature freeze for Bitcoin Core v31, which should be released in early April. Headliners include: * Cluster Mempool * Embedded ASMap * Private Broadcast * A new tx output index * Improvements to the IPC Mining interface * More bitcoin kernel progress
