1st prize in #chainhack @ lisbon! Lighting HW wallet prototype. Thanks guys for a crazy weekend!

Nach einer kurzen Pause sind wir wieder da. Bitcoin Socratic Seminar Online #19. Mittwoch, 25.03.2026, 20.30 Uhr Den Link zu Jitsi findet ihr in der Leseliste: bitcoinsocratic.de/2026/03/25/onl…

@kixunil Very cool proof-of-concept, thanks for that! Learned a lot reverse-engineering this. But for now, it does not seem to work any more, because @MARA slipstream blocks this: "all transactions over 1 KvB are subject to review before entering the Slipstream mempool."

Oooops, my contiguous image file got misinterpreted as a transaction WITHOUT OP_RETURN by the Bitcoin network and now it's forever contiguously stored in the chain! knotslies.com (BTW, I only logged in to post this don't expect me to use X again anytime soon.)

Test binaries (release candidate 1) are now available for Bitcoin Core v31. Please test them, along with your own software & integrations, and report any issues you find. Multiple rcs are expected, with a release around April 10th.

@callebtc Bonus points for calling it HAL. 🔥

People don't understand how insanely useful AI agents will be in your work force. It's due to a lack of imagination and the courage to experiment. However, in just a few months, the economic reality of the efficiency gain will force everyone to see what we're already seeing, using, and deploying at @ClawiAi. Ignore the hype posts about Mac Minis, agent coordinators, virtual offices, all of that influencer nonsense. I'm yet to see anyone create actual value. Here's the real signal. I have an AI devops engineer who's observing our entire infrastructure 24/7. Sends me regular updates. Debugs issues proactively. Proposes fixes. Properly isolated and permissioned. Can't break anything. I talk to our infrastructure in english. The agent is faster than any human, has endless patience, and has incredible domain knowledge. This is the job of what used to be a person making 200k a year. It's now just one of many Clawis.

@MandelDuck Awesome!

My 4-year-old got rejected from Japanese school last week. Feedback: “Practice more at home.” So I spun up an AI assistant on an old Mac mini and now it generates fully tailored Japanese books featuring him + his brother, tuned to specific grammar gaps. Built a whole book from Telegram at the vet today.

Self-directed learning through AIs is an autodidact’s paradise.

I think the main struggle bitcoiners have right now is; bitcoin has won and out grew bitcoiners. We, the crazy ones, were always meant to be forgotten. Our legacy is bitcoin winning.

Computer science is returning to the hands of physicists, mathematicians, and electrical engineers as LLMs automate much of what is currently defined as software engineering. The center of gravity is shifting away from manual code writing and toward deeper theoretical, mathematical, and systems-level reasoning.

5/6-bit ECC has NOT been broken by a quantum computer. 1. The answer was provided to the compiler to build the circuit 2. The circuit was too deep to run on real hardware 3. The results are indistinguishable from random noise Cc: @lopp @brian_trollz @nic_carter @stevetipp 🧵

The Knots movement is a dead end. Your forks won't activate, and the ordinals won't stop. Following Luke, Mechanic and Kratter down this dark path will only lead to your mental derangement. I truly hope you all come to your senses and break free from this cult, just as I did.

A summary of the experimental arguments for crypto-relevant quantum so far: > construct an experiment that successfully turns firewood into ash > we have proven a generalizable mechanism to transform matter > alchemical transformation of lead into gold is 3-5 years away (VCs, governments, and conflicted academics say) > AI's going to help us figure out the rest, all that remains are engineering details

@DefiantNews @EFDevcon @VitalikButerin .@vexl called. They want their glasses back.

It’s ETHCon Day in Buenos Aires! @VitalikButerin opened with a revisit of why he built Ethereum: “It all started because I was extremely into DAOs.” He was then met with a question about ossification: Is Ethereum ossifying, and should it? “Ethereum’s ossification isn’t binary; it’s a gradual process, and one that can strengthen the protocol over time.” Around that theme, he reflected on the experimentation spirit from 10 years ago and how today’s ecosystem has shifted toward L2 activity and more accessible ZK development. He also noted that if Ethereum were redesigned from scratch, it would look a lot like the Lean ETH roadmap.

Buenos días Ethereum! The Defiant will be reporting live from Devconnect @EFDevcon in Buenos Aires all week 🌞 Bookmark and save this thread so you don't miss out on the biggest news and themes from Ethereum's World Fair. 👇

Bitcoin experts watching the Knots movement “building their Bitcoin version”

Bitcoin and Gold will outlast any other currency

Honestly all of the scammy Zcash astroturfing is distasteful. None of those people actually care about privacy. It’s all a money grab.

Bitcoin Core has an unrivalled track record. Many years of constant uptime and a very reliable product with extensive testing and review, both in the lab as well as in the wild which is a very adversarial environment. Second place for Bitcoin base layer implementations goes to libbitcoin. But it is a very distant second. All other base layer projects with any amount of use and maintenance are just forks of Bitcoin Core, including Knots. They all fundamentally depend on Bitcoin Core for all the nuts and bolts.
