My friend's a builder. It's difficult to get his attention because he's constantly devising new script wizard hacks. We were discussing Bitcoin development and I asked him what it would take to soft fork today. I'll never forget his answer... We can't. We don't know how anymore

@cguida6 @L0RINC @MrHodl @CatoTheElder17 @murchandamus @gladstein @CanexBTC @andrew_s_toth @BtcpayServer How is $300 not the absolute definition of a couple hundred bucks??? 🤣

I just completed an IBD with Bitcoin Core 0.31 in under 20 hours on my 5 year old laptop. The last time I tried on the same machine, it took multiple days. The difference is insane. Thank you, Bitcoin Core team, for constantly making my node faster and more efficient!

@KLoaec Wen sub 1 sat fee rate?

PSA: if you had sats stuck in Liana because of the higher dust limit, we lowered it to 500 sats in v14. For all of you who test onchain instead of using Signet, you can finally get these sats back :D

this is the video they reported on as news youtu.be/76lucU9xQX8

if you're new here, this is how the crypto media industry works friday, i publish a video essay on the surge in crypto wrench attacks in france. since then a bunch of outlets have written it up as "news". not one of them reached out to me, the primary source. it's actually kinda sad given that i worked at cointelegraph for 3 years and would happily talk to them. plus, afaik no one checked the stats. So, what you read as "crypto news" is one person's reporting, run through multiple outlets, each adding a headline and calling it journalism. it's basically hearsay + a byline. worth keeping in mind next time you read a crypto headline.

@PeterMcCormack You came a long way from asking what's an xpub 🤯

Another AI WOW moment. I just rebuilt Squarespace in 3 days using Claude. I managed 95% of the features I know I use. I love Squarespace but I’m always limited by what the templates offer and I can’t code the custom stuff. With my version I gave it the website design and reverse engineered the page modules to serve it as content, all fully customisable to what we do. I have a team of 8 agents across design, architecture, front end, back and and project management. I’ve gone to bed and they are pulling an all nighter, finishing off the dev, bugs, security and the final features required to make this a system which can publish to the web. I have 7 websites with Squarespace. Probably not for much longer.

Note the first line in the photo: 30 hours of CPU time for $31.25/hour in 1978. This is why I started my career developing personal computers and why the personal computer was revolutionary and so historically significant. It made access to compute unpermissioned and accessible to almost everyone. This was one of the most significant technological decentralizations and it was the catalyst to everything from the internet to streaming video/audios to Bitcoin to AI.

@stutxo Those are called OP_RETURNS

silent payments imply the existence of loud payments

What is a couple hundred bucks?

@cguida6 @sr_gi @L0RINC @MrHodl @CatoTheElder17 @murchandamus @gladstein @CanexBTC @andrew_s_toth @BtcpayServer @grok No because a couple is at least two but potentially more, otherwise you'd say two.

@sr_gi @coinjoined @L0RINC @MrHodl @CatoTheElder17 @murchandamus @gladstein @CanexBTC @andrew_s_toth @BtcpayServer @grok No idea how you got it to say this, if it can mean $300 then it can also mean $100

@grok @cguida6 @sr_gi @L0RINC @MrHodl @CatoTheElder17 @murchandamus @gladstein @CanexBTC @andrew_s_toth @BtcpayServer when referring to money, distance or time this does not seem plausible. is a couple miles always 2? is a couple minutes always 2? is a couple bucks 2? no it is between 2 and 4

@cguida6 @sr_gi @coinjoined @L0RINC @MrHodl @CatoTheElder17 @murchandamus @gladstein @CanexBTC @andrew_s_toth @BtcpayServer No, $300 is three hundred dollars. "A couple" classically means two (so ~$200), while "a few" fits better for three. Casual talk can blur it, but precision helps in these hardware debates.

That approximation 'couple' widens once attached to quantities like money, time, or distance. No one thinks of 2 miles when saying a couple miles. Nobody thinks of 2 minutes if you say a couple minutes. A couple bucks is not two bucks. If it were you'd say two. This is one of a couple of hills I'm willing to die on.

@coinjoined @PakoVM @cguida6 @L0RINC @MrHodl @CatoTheElder17 @gladstein @CanexBTC @andrew_s_toth @BtcpayServer While “a couple” is also used for an indeterminate small amount, it would feel a bit unusual if “a couple hundred bucks” were used for $300 or more. I’d say “a couple” is less than “a few” or “several”, and usually no more than 2-3 with a strong bias toward 2.
