Ordinals are now BIP-110 ready. github.com/ordinals/ord/p…

Inscriptions now have social media image previews and it only took three and a half years 😅 ordinals.com/inscription/a4…

My attempt to protect users from scam apps on the @AppStore has gotten my Apple Developer account flagged for termination - ironically, for "dishonest activity". Unless it's reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow Wallet will fail, and development on macOS will end. The context: since 2023, more than a dozen fake "Sparrow" apps have appeared on the App Store, as recently as April this year. Users have contacted me after losing their savings, in some cases their life savings, to these impersonators. I'm the developer of the real Sparrow Wallet, a desktop app, and I hold the registered US trademarks for the name and logo. I have publicly warned @Apple and the community about these fake apps from early 2024, but they keep appearing. The app @Apple flagged was a placeholder that was never published. Its only purpose was to warn users that Sparrow is desktop-only and that other "Sparrow" apps aren't mine. This approach may have been misguided, but there was nothing dishonest about it. I'm confident this is an automated misclassification that Apple would reverse on review - but I may be terminated before a human ever looks at my appeal. The cost would fall on @Apple's own users: blocked installs and no updates for a tool people rely on, which opens the door for more fakes. If you value Sparrow, a repost would help. @AppleSupport

@rodarmor If only there was a BIP number they could refer to

Cool protocol for inscribing BIP 47 payment codes as inscriptions. And they say inscriptions aren't good for anything 🤔

New ord release, with a fix for a crash bug which can be triggered by a malformed child inscription! Huge thanks to @SagaKrypto, who found and reported the issue! github.com/ordinals/ord/r…

Casey @rodarmor's reaction to @kanzure's disrespectful closing of the Ordinals BIP

Ord 0.27.0 is out! This includes two important changes for galleries. 🧵 github.com/ordinals/ord/r…

Not merging the Ordinals BIP is a mistake. The BIP process is supposed to document ecosystem conventions, not gatekeep them. If widely deployed standards can't be specified as BIPs, developers are left guessing when the process even applies. The cost of that ambiguity is high. For the microscopic benefit of excluding a single proposal the editors believe should not be a BIP, we risk discouraging future contributions. Fewer things that should be BIPs will likely become BIPs. Immediately, I am now considering not submitting some in flight work of mine as a BIP.

@kanzure @xstoicunicornx The more you tweet, the more you fit this definition. As one open-source dev to another, you should really find a different profession. Maybe focus on your designer babies, playing God seems what you like to do.

@xstoicunicornx No such explanation is owed to anyone.

No one is entitled to space in the BIP repository, people can create their own documents and have.

@jonatack You really shouldn’t be touting your performance in these threads. It’s not a good look when a BIP editor can’t even provide clear reasoning for closing a BIP PR that has been going through active revisions for over 3 years.

Called it. Trolls are a waste of time. x.com/jonatack/statu…

@rot13maxi @jonatack @kanzure @rodarmor I know, it wasn’t event worth pointing out because that guy just likes to use misdirection when he’s losing an argument.

@jonatack @raphjaph @kanzure @rodarmor cat pr to core, or cat bip? the bip is there: github.com/bitcoin/bips/b…

BIP editors @jonatack and @kanzure were incapable of telling me the reason for closing the Ordinals BIP. Maybe the other editors could help them out and enlighten us why and how this decision was made.

@jonatack @kanzure @rodarmor You're deflecting again. If you can't handle twitter then at least provide the reasons on the BIP PR on github. Otherwise you're just proving that the BIP process is unaccountable and can't even follow it's own rules.

@raphjaph @kanzure @rodarmor Not with this behavior, sorry.

Sorry for being inflammatory today. I don’t like being so negative on the TL. But Bitcoin core devs and BIP editors have proven that the only thing they respond to is flame wars (ex: @nic_carter & quantum, knots guys & BIP-110) They have created this dynamic themselves.

@jonatack @kanzure @rodarmor You're deflecting, just tell us the reasons... If it really just is "I don't like it" like @kanzure so be it. At least we then all know how you guys reason and think.

The reasons, no matter how valid, are often unacceptable to the supporters. I gave reasons for closing the Cat PR. Didn’t matter. Some will still screenshot, troll and grandstand over it. In this case, there was more group discussion than most would want to read and it would only be used for more trolling. One day, one camp is angry with you. Another day, it’s the opposing one. Another day, it’s a third one. It’s the nature of the thing.

@kanzure @jonatack @rodarmor They can be closed but should provide a clear reason for doing so, otherwise the whole BIP process comes off as capricious. That specific PR has gone through many rounds of revision and even had tacit acknowlegment from previous BIP editors.

@raphjaph @jonatack @rodarmor Oh, BIP PRs can't be closed? You're quoting the closed state for an actual Bitcoin improvement proposal not for a pull request to submit to the repository. One of us is confused.

@kanzure @jonatack You're saying a lot of words but it seems like the ultimate reason was that you don't like it. @rodarmor has consistently provided feedback and updates. You closing this PR is a clear violation of the BIP-3 process

@raphjaph @jonatack I made the decision to close the pull request. The reason why is because I wanted to clean up the open pull requests. This one had been open for 3 years. I also don't want that BIP in that repository.

Ordinals BIP rejected 🤬 "A BIP # is not an official endorsement and it is not officially a plan to add something to Bitcoin Core." Just a bunch of political bullshit.

@kanzure @jonatack @karmic_blob @thatwagmigirl @rodarmor this u? x.com/realizingerin/…

@raphjaph @jonatack @karmic_blob @thatwagmigirl @rodarmor Maybe bip110 should be rescinded.

Hey Ordinals fam @kanzure just closed the proposal and refused to assign ordinals a BIP number! But the BIP 110 did in 3 months! WTH? What’s your reason Kanzure? @rodarmor even submitted the ordinals BIP almost 2 years ago.
