Mining decentralization is a big priority for us too. We’re funding @plebhash’s work on Stratum V2, @johnnyasantos’ work on P2Pool V2, and training fellows like @jayrmotta on Mujina and @VCestarii on IPC work that interfaces with mining projects. Looking forward to collaborating with Localhost in yet another area.

1/2 Three months ago we announced the resurrection of FIBRE. Today, we take our next step. Localhost Research has established a Mining Unit: a group of contributors working full time on reducing centralization pressures in Bitcoin mining.

Teaching Bitcoin has been such a refresher for my educational duties at the University of Brasília. Let's make it worldwide!
Bitcoin Education Institute@BTCedu

Dr. Edil Medeiros (@edil_medeiros), an associate professor at the University of Brasília, teaches a Bitcoin Protocol course, now in its second edition, with a third planned for 2026. The course combines low-level protocol mechanics with conceptual discussions, comparing Bitcoin to other cryptocurrencies. About 50 undergraduate students from engineering and computer science programs participate each year, covering topics from transaction semantics to cryptography, blocks, and proof-of-work. Students engage through weekly lectures over 32 weeks, four homework/programming assignments, and a final project. Dr. Medeiros emphasizes understanding why Bitcoin works, not just how it works, preparing students for real-world technical challenges. The course is available online in Portuguese and English, including lecture recordings and MIT DCI materials. Dr. Medeiros also serves as Head of Research at Vinteum, a nonprofit supporting open-source Bitcoin developers. He aims to build a Bitcoin protocol education pathway and establish a network monitoring lab to support global research initiatives. His teaching bridges practical development, research, and the open-source Bitcoin ecosystem. Dr. Medeiros has agreed to speak at the BEI Annual Conference in Washington, DC, on July 31st. Register for the conference here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

yeah maybe I should adjust my expectations but I also can't ignore that @OpenAI + @AnthropicAI are only allowing us to use their beefy models at such low prices so they can get us hooked, and jack up the prices later so either way, local FOSS models are the future of agentic development

@plebhash @luisschwab_ @karpathy Been enjoying deepseek v4 as well! On the local/FOSS workflow, it's the dream, but it doesn't seem to be feasible to have anything near as good as the commercial models yet. @AkitaOnRails has a good blog post on that in case you aren't aware.

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

@luisschwab_ @karpathy deepseek4 is my new best friend, with gepeto as fallback for the heavy stuff I'm soon gonna get some hw beef and I dream of having a purely FOSS/local workflow very soon

I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out. I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really). It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely. The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture. We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying. I worry.

SRI JDC can connect to any template provider that serves Sv2 TDP github.com/stratum-mining… has a working implementation (which used to be maintained by Sjors) that maintains feature-parity with Bitcoin Core v29 there's no one actively maintaining it, but I'm sure it can be used as inpiration for a Sv2-Knots port SRI JDS depends on IPC (therefore v30+) but there's primitives for RPC alternatives
