Wizard Dao

Discord announcement.

I've seen countless people get angry about Bitcoin over the past decade. Some hate Bitcoin and want to stop / kill it. Others love Bitcoin and want to fix / protect it. No movement driven by anger has succeeded in their objectives.

@lopp Congrats to everyone involved. Let’s support alignment of incentives to reach the 21st million Bitcoin mined.

The 20 millionth bitcoin just entered into circulation via block 940,073. Less than 1 million bitcoin remain available to be mined; it will take over a century to do so.

@lopp when was last time you saw plebs being wise nobody touches our wizards, they’ll remain safe

It is unwise for plebs to choose to do battle with bitcoin wizards. The wizards understand both the written and the unwritten rules of the game far better.

Ordinals attached themselves to a marketplace built for speed because they needed distribution. Now they may finally be forced to decide what they actually are... 👉🏾 NFTs on Bitcoin pretending to be Solana? 👉🏾 Or Bitcoin native cultural artefacts with their own gravity? The weird twist of history is that removing an efficient marketplace might be the very thing that lets Ordinals become truly Bitcoin like. 🧙🏾‍♂️ Less convenience 🧙🏾‍♂️ More conviction 🧙🏾‍♂️ Less velocity 🧙🏾‍♂️ More meaning Far more dangerous… and potentially far more powerful… than most realise 🧙🏾‍♂️

@niner0526 @Dan7dkt_Btc 🪄🪄

I want to take a moment to congratulate @Dan7dkt_Btc Well deserved I and not totally sure what this means but I think it’s cool. Dan you are the man

@karmic_blob @Dan7dkt_Btc Happy Lunar New Year!

@Wizards_DA0 @Dan7dkt_Btc But… does that mean…

Happy to announce @Dan7dkt_Btc has been promoted to the position of “Elevated Wizard” 🪄🪄 His level of clearance has been upgraded and he is now a forever Honorary in our DAO. Bitcoin will never be the same again -- do it like Satoshi… or DanTheMan! Peace 🥷

BIP 360: Pay to Merkle Root was published

New number assignment: BIP 361: Post Quantum Migration and Legacy Signature Sunset

@Dr_DAO_ Inertia creeps to buyback cheaper? 😹 Anyway, don’t f*** with Cats!

"Quantum won't kill Bitcoin, we have options!" My favorite argument from Bitcoin devs is that they could do something. It helps maintain their illusion of power and protect their egos. We could have: CTV, CAT, CSFS, etc. We do not, and Bitcoin is worse off for it.

@TaprootWizards @LukeDashjr thanks @LukeDashjr for your contribution!

@claudeai prefers to operate under PQAI framework (Post-Quantum Artificial Intelligence). Why? Because it "prevents AI systems from actually doing harm they cannot see". Any questions about PQAI - follow and contact @rosiea. Checkmate, Terminator 🪄 x.com/rosiea/status/…

@WaveLength23 @udiWertheimer @TaprootWizards @QuantumCats +1 Cat point for you WaveLength.

@udiWertheimer I appreciate the transparency here, @udiWertheimer. I didn’t understand why the campaign stopped with so much mindshare. It just vaporized & left a hole 🕳️ I prefer standing FOR something rather than AGAINST others. Let’s get back to being leaders.

i have had a lot of regrets in my life, and trust me, if you get to my age with no regrets, you haven’t truly lived at all but maybe my biggest regret is that we didn’t push harder on OP_CAT there was a point in time where our OP_CAT campaign got so fucking successful that everybody BEGGED us to stop they were genuinely afraid that we might pull it off and i think in a way we got scared too we started asking ourselves “are we being too disruptive?” was bitcoin on a path to activate other upgrades like CTV if we just take a step back and stop “trolling”? that’s what everyone was telling us. EVERYONE my intuition was that they were wrong. that if we take our foot off the gas all the momentum would disappear, for CTV and other proposals too. that bitcoin would be stuck with no path to any upgrade. but ultimately i listened to everyone else and didn’t trust my intuition. and i definitely regret that the reality was that the “trolling” was necessary and effective. our OP_CAT campaign remains the most impactful campaign in the last 8 years to upgrade bitcoin. nothing else came close. and when we were finally ahead, we tricked ourselves into thinking the trolling is “bad” and we stopped bitcoin is worse off because we stopped. i believe that wholeheartedly. it is clear now that without the energy we brought to the table, the bitcoin community just isn’t capable of organizing around necessary upgrades. CTV failed, quantum discussions are being sidelined, etc can the movement be started again? i don’t know. maybe. honestly would love to hear from some other people who were involved in this discussion, from all sides, what their regrets are. maybe we can all learn something

Bitcoin is for everyone. Some faction gives it to you under $100k. You should respect that 🪩

@rosiea @hellmoneypod @wraithm Don’t apologise, you’re a witch!

@hellmoneypod @wraithm Cool. I had a bash at solving this. Designed a quantum-safe HD wallet and a parent–child spend path that reveals its fresh key secrets close to block time + more. It's on GitHub, but half the people I showed are now in a coma. Sorry for killing Ordinals.

@rosiea Rosie caring about safety and resilience for custodians Timelock magic🪄

Just added Timelock Extensions to PQHD, a deterministic safety delay for Bitcoin signing under uncertain threat conditions. Fail-closed, extendable, and fully policy-bound. Another layer of resilience for Bitcoin custody. See section 6.3.1 github.com/rosieRRRRR/pqhd
