@bitcoincoreorg Who cares?

A new release candidate of Bitcoin Core, v31.0rc4, 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…

@Matyas44Cook @TomasNajmanCZ @natbrunell So they should simply stop using a payment provider (financial institution). That simple. 👉e.g. btcpayserver.org

@TomasNajmanCZ @natbrunell The majority of shops and restaurants use a payment provider (financial institution) ... so IMHO it is fair to say, the regulation had a direct impact on restaurants ceasing to accept Bitcoin after several years of successful transactions... + creating KYC honeypots

EU regulation killed Bitcoin payments across Europe. Over 1,000 businesses that accepted Bitcoin had to stop overnight. But Prague isn't backing down. @Matyas44Cook shares how the Czech Republic is becoming the most Bitcoin-friendly country in Europe — and why the rest of the world should pay attention.

@JoanaCotar Ich würde digitale Lightning Zahlungen begrüßen.

Die mexikanische Präsidentin gab auf dem 89. Bankenkongress bekannt, dass Barzahlungen an Tankstellen und Mautstellen nun offiziell abgeschafft werden. Digitale Zahlungen für Kraftstoff und Mautgebühren sollen bis Ende 2026 verpflichtend werden. „Unser Ziel ist es in diesem Jahr, digitale Zahlungen für Kraftstoff und Mautgebühren durch die gemeinsam mit den Banken entwickelten Modelle verpflichtend zu machen“, sagte Sheinbaum. „Damit sollen zugängliche digitale Zahlungsmethoden gestärkt und die Digitalisierung des Landes auch in vielen anderen Bereichen vorangetrieben werden.“ So wird es auch bei uns mit dem digitalen Euro laufen. Schritt für Schritt. Lassen wir es nicht soweit kommen!

@jaegerthomas2 Danke für die Einordnung. Ihr Weitblick geht weit über meinen Tellerrand hinaus.

Der Waffenstillstand im Mittleren Osten belegt, dass China andere Staaten (hier Iran) erfolgreich zum Waffenstillstand drängen kann. Das könnte China auch im Fall der Ukraine. Da will China jedoch, dass der Krieg bis zu Spaltung USA-Europa weitergeführt wird.

The most underrated follow for Bitcoiners rn is @oomahq If you don't follow him, don't follow me

@Tiefseher @ScalableCapDACH Bitcoin läuft geschmeidig, wie immer: mempool.space

Meine App von @ScalableCapDACH funktioniert heute morgen nicht. Funktioniert Eure?

Taproot usage on Bitcoin 99% of taproot transactions since 2024 are dust. They are not financial transactions. This was not the expected behavior when we created taproot. Needs to be more widely acknowledged. Details in first comment. Thanks @OrangeSurfBTC for inspiration

@liber_liver @TFTC21 @gladstein @TFTC21 does not like BIP-110.

@TFTC21 @gladstein "just" it was "dropped" 5-6 years ago?

Tadge Dryja, the co-inventor of the Lightning Network, just dropped an update on Utreexo, one of the most underappreciated scaling projects in bitcoin. The problem is straightforward. Every bitcoin node that wants to validate transactions has to store the entire UTXO set, every unspent output on the network. Right now that's 11GB and growing. As more transactions hit the chain, as inscriptions and other data-heavy outputs pile up, every node operator has to store all of it. The UTXO set doesn't get pruned like old blocks can. It just grows. Utreexo eliminates the entire UTXO set from your node. Instead of storing 11GB of data, a Utreexo node stores less than 1KB of hashes and still fully verifies every transaction. It's not a light client. It's not trusting anyone else. It's full validation with radically less storage. The tradeoff has always been bandwidth. Utreexo nodes need to download extra proof data to verify transactions without storing the full set. Until recently, syncing the blockchain with Utreexo took 2-3x the data download of a normal node, pushing into terabytes. That problem is now being solved, new aggregator techniques from SwiftSync have eliminated the extra download overhead. The implementation is still being finalized, but the hard part appears to be behind them. Two things worth noting: First, Utreexo is quantum safe. The accumulator and aggregator are built entirely on hash functions, not elliptic curve cryptography. Whatever quantum computing does to bitcoin's signature scheme, it won't touch Utreexo. At a time when the quantum conversation is heating up, that's a meaningful design advantage. Second, Utreexo directly addresses the tension around "spam" on bitcoin. Inscriptions, BRC-20 tokens, and other data-heavy outputs bloat the UTXO set that every node has to carry. Pruning helps with old block data but doesn't touch the UTXO set. Utreexo makes the entire debate irrelevant, if your node doesn't store the UTXO set at all, the size of it doesn't matter. New releases are out for both utreexod (BTCD-based) and Floresta (rust-based, built with rust-bitcoin). Both are in testing mode, not ready for real funds yet, but ready for developers and node operators to try. This is the kind of quiet, foundational work that actually scales bitcoin at L1. No token. No VC round. No press tour. Just better engineering.

@MajorianBTC The one who attends there is against BIP-110. That simple.

Periodic reminder that the organizer of the Bitcoin Conference, Bitcoin Magazine, is actively hostile to BIP-110 and shitcoin-agnostic.. Why pay more than $500 to attend a conference that is organized by those who are not bitcoin maximalists?

@Tiefseher ... und schon wieder dieser Quanten FUD. 😴 Fazit: Der Bärenmarkt ist noch nicht vorbei.

Obacht 😮 Der Quanten-Härtetest für Bitcoin könnte früher kommen als gedacht

@WKCosmo 🦻

OK, two most interesting results from Moriond:

@ProductionReady @Excellion @jimmysong @parkeralewis @jratcliff 🙌👍

We’re excited to officially announce @ProductionReady, a 501(c)(3) public charity established by @Excellion, @jimmysong, @parkeralewis, and @jratcliff to advance open-source Bitcoin development through education and funding for a new conservative Bitcoin client.

Chuck Norris mined bitcoin with a pen and paper.

@bitcoincoreorg I don't like it.

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…

What BIP-110 will do to non-monetary ‘use cases’ of Bitcoin.

Dennis Ritchie created C in the early 1970s without Google, Stack Overflow, GitHub, or any AI ( Claude, Cursor, Codex) assistant. - No VC funding. - No viral launch. - No TED talk. - Just two engineers at Bell Labs. A terminal. And a problem to solve. He built a language that fit in kilobytes. 50 years later, it runs everything. Linux kernel. Windows. macOS. Every iPhone. Every Android. NASA’s deep space probes. The International Space Station. > Python borrowed from it. > Java borrowed from it. > JavaScript borrowed from it. If you have ever written a single line of code in any language, you did it in Dennis Ritchie’s shadow. He died in 2011. The same week as Steve Jobs. Jobs got the front pages. Ritchie got silence. This Legend deserves to be celebrated.

@wesleybrad060 @GrassFedBitcoin @BitcoinBombadil 💯

@GrassFedBitcoin @BitcoinBombadil "arguing for Universal Basic Income for miners." Good take.

People trying to fix "teh security budget" adding non-monetary use cases to Bitcoin are essentially arguing for Universal Basic Income for miners. As with the idiotic and self-serving politicians that push for such a thing, the cost is obfuscated and the benefit as stated would never work as presented. It's the psychopathic reallocating of wealth cheered on by the economically illiterate.

Hier kommen die Fakten zu den aktuellen Gerüchten.
