toxic bitcoin maxis scared off vitalik to go build his own chain and now eth is only 22% the market cap of bitcoin. bitcoin does less and is more valuable because having no features is the feature. Core vs Knots is not a tech problem. it's an economic problem.

@joewinke @unclebobmartin the readme needs screenshots

@unclebobmartin Uncle Bob the challenge of handling more agents scales exponentially. Someone had to rethink the IDE - so I built JAT. It allows you to handle easily 10+ agents in an organized IDE with tasks, git, source, files, etc. github.com/joewinke/jat

I'm keeping two Claude windows open. One making changes to the source code. The other helping me to plan future changes. This uses my time better since I spend a lot less time waiting for Claude to finish. The two Claudes are in two different directories, both have git repos of the project. The planning directory has rules that prevent source code changes. Only planning is allowed. I manually pull and push changes between the two.

@bcherny love the product your team is building! it would be great if claude chrome could talk to claude code

👋 Hi I'm Boris and I work on Claude Code. I am going to start being more active here on X, since there are a lot of AI and coding related convos happening here. Feel free to tag me with Claude Code feedback or bug reports. Love to hear how y'all are using Claude Code, and what we can do to make it even better.

@ericphillipsusa @Square check here btcmap.org

Bitcoin payments are now live 🟧🚀 squ.re/acceptbitcoin

@hodlstack @Square restaurants should add themselves to btcmap.org

@Square will there be a simple way to find restaurants that have this enabled? that would be excellent!

@start9labs @Atlas63573102 Yes. None of the latest models are supported. AI moves quickly

@sat_engineer @Atlas63573102 We actually have an update coming today/tomorrow. Is there some issue with the current version?

Options 1: open-source LLMs, self-hosted on personal servers using cheap, powerful accelerators and accessed over private networks. Option 2: slavery.

@start9labs @Atlas63573102 FreeGPT on StartOS hasn’t been updated since February. Any idea when the next update is? Umbrel seems to get updates as they come out

@Atlas63573102 FreeGPT (Ollama + Open Web UI) has wonderful UX. The problem is performance. The current hardware only allows for small models, and speeds are not great

@TheBTCBreakdown @shocknet_justin what don’t you agree about and why? just looking at spark and its single account, even if you trust the provider to delete the spending key, you give up a ton of privacy. seems like it gives you worse bitcoin for faster tx speeds than on chain

@shocknet_justin I don't agree with most of what you've said here. And LN symmetry also requires covenants.

Fake L2 scams like Ark, Spark, Citrea, Drivechains, and others are Shitcoins 2.0 The are exploiting the same incentive dilemma with Lightning that Bitcoin faced with Shitcoins 1.0 stacker.news/items/1272421/…

thank you satoshi

@ReLeomerda @satellen3 good money is 1. a store of value (ie a safe) 2. a medium of exchange (people using it as money) 3. a unit of account (people measuring value with it)

@satellen3 ignorance at its finest: - "We are using it as a store holder of wealth." - "Get paid for “doing stuff” on Bitcoin". Bitcoin isn't thought to be a "safe": if people don't use it, it will die cause miners will be starving.

@JeanSimB623 @satellen3 core v30 is the one that is changing things. bip-444 is the de facto status quo

@satellen3 you make up a narrative. Bitcoin maximalist say: don't fucking touch Bitcoin, leave it alone. ossifier says, don't fucking touch Bitcoin this mean NO FUCKING FORK the only thing you'll achieve is creating a new shitcoin à la Roger Ver

PSA

@gladstein @paulbrigner anyone who is “shilling” you bitcoin is trying to save you

@paulbrigner a) I think zcash is unnecessary and I think activists can achieve really good privacy in Bitcoin today using cutting edge tools and techniques without having to be someone else's exit liquidity b) I am evil

@Angeredspy @ReichardKonige @FieldNas knots config > advanced > peers > disable clearnet

@Angeredspy @ReichardKonige @FieldNas just run knots over tor and you’ll get incoming connections

Knots runners! OPEN port 8333 & fight spam more directly. Do it now. Accepting inbounds on Knots = Spam Killer Extraordinaire Outbound only nodes aren't slicing & dicing nearly as much.

That sure was an enthusiastic applause for @GrassFedBitcoin at @LuganoPlanB today. Gives me hope in bitcoiners 🙂

@saifedean deflation isn’t even always a bad thing. the classic gold era saw both deflation and quality of life increases. deflation is good when caused by productivity increases. bad when caused by collapsing credit markets

The WSJ finds the scariest way of describing economic growth and abundance.

gold may not have lost those properties because it’s the cleanest shirt in the laundry, but other commodity based monies such as cattle and barley would have. humanity has tried a lot of different things before it settled on gold. something too scarce isn’t good money anymore. price signals would be ruined in a barley money based system if there was a famine. bringing it back to bitcoin, the blockspace is a consumable that can be used for non-monetary data. too much non-monetary use could make blockspace too scarce. it’s not just NFTs, it’s also video and music players that are being stored with ordinals. i imagine bitcoin’s steady state will be predominantly monetary usecases with some non-monetary usages similar to gold. fees are one way of deterring spammers and culture around what is the identity of bitcoin is yet another way to deter spammers. bitcoin core seems to be okay with the definition of bitcoin as a decentralized p2p blockchain protocol while knots supporters use a definition of money. 100kb op return by default is saying bitcoin welcomes arbitrary data on chain, which i don’t align with culturally. defaults matter a ton because most node runners won’t change them and these txs will be able to flow through the network easily

Gold didn’t lose those properties because ancillary usage does nothing to diminish scarcity, fungibility, divisibility, and verifiability. It doesn’t matter if there are better conductors, corrosion-resistance makes it essential for unshielded contacts in circuitry. Mass amounts of it are also used by jewelers. The only truly non-monetary use for Bitcoin that I’m aware of is sticking data in blocks - typically jpegs. While this uses blockspace, and NFTs in general are a dumb concept IMO, it doesn’t choke out the monetary demand for or usage of Bitcoin itself. Ordinals, by definition, attach data to a single sat.

Anyone saying they are not bringing Ethereum to Bitcoin is 100% lying to your face and gaslighting you.

gold didn’t lose those properties because there are better conductors such as silver and copper. enabling the lightning network makes bitcoin better money. unfortunately it also introduced ordinals and inscriptions, so it appears to be a double edged sword. there’s not much info to go on in the screenshot but i have reservations about people wanting to “build everything” on top of bitcoin. feature creep can lead to diminishing monetary premiums. see ethereum

Good money is scarce, fungible, divisible, verifiable. Gold lost none of those properties when it gained tangential use in electronics. Regardless, the enhancements to Bitcoin are not even tangential, they are to support monetary usage. Bitcoin did not lose any monetary properties when SegWit removed tx malleability and enabled the Lightning Network.
