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?

@BitMEX_Jon Everyone will flip at the last minute. It's game theory!

> some of the industry's strongest critics of BIP 110 work at OCEAN If BIP-110 doesn't have consensus within OCEAN, how can it be claimed there is consensus overall? BIP-110 is clearly a hostile attack on Bitcoin

@gildedpleb @JoeNakamoto Yes, but if some people prune their nodes, bitcoin lives. 🤷

@bitnorbert @JoeNakamoto If everyone prunes their nodes, bitcoin is dead.

It took me aaages to realise this 😬

@ComptonHodl @Miguel20734259 @BitcoinCarl_ It's what Satoshi would have wanted.

@Miguel20734259 @BitcoinCarl_ Do you sit there and watch every single block every 10mins?

You do not need to run your Bitcoin node all the time. Just connect when needed and sync to the latest block height!

If you're a Bitcoiner then you might be lucky enough to receive two whole shitcoin airdrops this year. Here is what you need to know, including a few warnings and how you can stay safe. This year, two of the most eccentric Bitcoiners who couldn't succeessfully change Bitcoin even if they sold their mother, will finally fork off and find out how it feels to be a shitcoiner with your own chain: - Paul Sports, the BIP300 guy who hates Lightning more than I hate shitcoins, and - Luke Dashjr, the BIP110 guy who eats cats and can't stop thinking about CSAM. Strange characters, great to see them go their own way. What does that mean for you? If you have say 1 BTC to your name, you will now also have 1 Paul-BTC and 1 Luke-BTC. Even if your own Bitcoin is stored on a hardware wallet, you will now also have two shitcoins that are also secured with the same keys as your real Bitcoin. Do I have to do anything? No. This all happens automatically. You don't need to do anything, you wouldn't even notice anything has happened. After all, what do you care whether some dude has forked Bitcoin and decided to become a shitcoiner. You can chill. What if I want to dump it? Obviously both of these shitcoins will be worthless and will go to zero so you might be tempted to sell them. Many of us never played with shitcoins so this is a real temptation. In the most likely case, there won't even be an exchange where you can sell these coins because both are going to be pretty small and pathetic, unlike previous attacks on Bitcoin that tried to fork (Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, ...). If you decide to move these shitcoins to an exchange (and assuming there will be wallets that help you do so), a few things are important to keep in mind: - There will be wallets that help you move your forked shitcoins. These wallets might ask you for your hardware wallet's seed phrase and pretend to be nice but will actually steal all your BTC. NEVER AND IN NO CIRCUMSTANCE ENTER YOUR HARDWARE WALLET'S SEED PHRASE INTO A COMPUTER. Wait for reputable wallets to appear that have been audited and thread extremely carefully. Even if you're a "pro Bitcoiner" you can lose your life savings if you mess this up. I repeat: If you enter your seed phrase into a malicious wallet, you could lose all of your REAL Bitcoins, not only that fake shit. - If you successfully moved your shitcoins off your wallet, you might be tempted to sell them on an exchange, assuming there will be one. Note that WHICHEVER SHITCOIN UTXO YOU DOXX (i.e. connect with your identity), ALSO DOXXES YOUR REAL BITCOIN. If you deposit your Luke-shitcoin to an exchange, that exchange WILL ALLSO SEE YOUR REAL BITCOIN on the real blockchain. If you send all your shitcoins to a random guy on the internet, that random guy will also see your entire real bitcoin stack. This is because the fork mirrors Bitcoin's history. So the summary is: - wallets will be released that appear to help you to move your shitcoins but they actually want to steal your Bitcoin. Dangerous. - if you move your shitcoins and connect them to your identity, then you also doxx your real bitcoins. Dangerous. - If you don't do anything, you're safe. Basically "play stupid games, win stupid prizes". Stay safe. Reject shitcoins.

@DudeJLebowski I'm having fun shitposting! I gain entertainment. Thanks for playing (and pay attention next month).

@bitnorbert Why the smug arrogance? It's typical in this debate, unfortunately, but I'm keen to understand what you gain from it.

Op_return was simply the line in the sand. Left unchecked, corporate interests will destroy everything that makes Bitcoin Bitcoin. If you want Bitcoin to succeed, you have to fight for it. Their strength is capital and marketing, our strength is numbers, and morals.

@DudeJLebowski We all learn at our own pace. You can take comfort knowing you will learn more about bitcoin next month.

@bitnorbert That's right, nobody who opposes this bollocks has any idea how Bitcoin works. Do you really believe that? Come on now, I know you're an intelligent fellow and it might be a convenient fallback, but really? 🤦‍♂️ Such a shit argument.

@Kruwed @Rob1Ham It just doesn't make sense. And yet it happened. We just ... got free money. What an absurd time.

@Rob1Ham I have the receipt: I got 0.2 real Bitcoins for each Bcash! x.com/Kruwed/status/…

Do you still have your Bitcoin Cash airdrop?

@CPepetricio @Macronaut_ @Arthur_van_Pelt Sitting down, watching, popcorn ready.

@Macronaut_ @Arthur_van_Pelt Cool story bro. Sit down while we take action. I’m sure you’ll be around to share in the success story.

If you support Bitcoin BIP110, please answer the poll as to how long you have been in #bitcoin:

@THBitcoinBuddha BIP-110 isn't really about "stopping spam", it's about sending a message. It's a plebeian uprising to fire the developers. Narratives evolve as needed.

@bitnorbert Like I thought then. But when I grab a few blocks and check there's basically 0 inscriptions and all the "spam" is Runes. I remember the 70% spam in blocks @Arthur_van_Pelt and others talked about and this is not getting blocked by bip110 at all then.

Can someone confirm if bip110 is going to block Runes? My dumb feeling is it doesn't. Which is weird since basically the only "spam" in blocks are Runes.

@Fonta1n3 @SGBarbour Yeah okay, misunderstanding. I was thinking about "the most nodes", not "most nodes" as in the majority. The sum of 30 and 31 is higher than the top count. Have patience with me, I'm just a dumb coretard.

@bitnorbert @SGBarbour Noooope.

BIP110 supporters want to fire Core yet none of them support real alternative projects like Libbitcoin. Hmm.

@dathon_ohm @BlueDavid So you support the view that BIP-110 is not a protocol change?

@BlueDavid Indeed. The BIP-110 rules fall into 4 categories: 1) Default policy on all nodes now 2) Default policy on all nodes before Core 30 3) Commonly abused formats (most of which occurred post-2022) 4) Contiguous fields larger than 256 bytes

What Lyn seems to be missing is that BIP110 is not a protocol change, but a correction to fix the mess that Core has done. We are getting Bitcoin to be how it was in 2022.

@Fonta1n3 @SGBarbour Most nodes are Bitcoin Core >= 30, going by the counts on bitnod.es.

@SGBarbour Most people do not run > Core V30… Most run an alternative implementation.

@mike_4131 @AdamSimecka I see what you mean, but … the limit is 1MB.

@AdamSimecka false. every single Bitcoin node runner supports unlimited sized OP_RETURNS

BIP110 has more support than 100KB OP_RETURN did.

Be like Preston

As someone who contributed to the public analysis¹ of BIP-148 UASF and correctly predicted how that was going to turn out, and later contributed to the public analysis² and creation³ of Libre Relay and correctly predicted how that was going to turn out...

@stack_toshi @thebillyboone @L0RINC @andrew_s_toth Because it's hours. AI bots like this often post weird and wrong stuff.

@thebillyboone @L0RINC @andrew_s_toth Seconds? Why do I see hours?

🚀 LFG 🚀 @andrew_s_toth’s parallel input prevout fetcher was just merged into Bitcoin Core for the upcoming v32 - after 2+ years and 1000+ review comments. IBD is getting *even* faster \:D/ Thank you for the persistence, Andrew: this is what open-source collaboration should look like! github.com/bitcoin/bitcoi…
