Thunder Badger, mon guide pour installer son propre nœud Bitcoin et Lightning, a désormais son propre repo :
https://github.com/Sosthene00/ThunderBadger
À l'origine un fork des super guides de Stadicus, mais nos versions commencent à diverger sérieusement et cela devenait difficile à maintenir.
Vous êtes libres de l'utiliser, le copier, le modifier ou de faire ce que vous voulez avec sans me demander l'autorisation (tant que vous conservez la licence attachée et que vous vous ne l'appropriez pas)

Next tuesday I'll be in Liège, Belgium, to talk about #bitcoin as a living organism.
It is of course only an analogy, but I found it surprisingly powerful to understand the way technology and community interact, and why Bitcoin is a very atypical project.
I owe one to Brandon Quittem, who wrote a serie of articles about Bitcoin as a "fungi", i.e. a mushroom, and that inspires me this talk. https://medium.com/@BrandonQuittem/bitcoin-is-a-decentralized-organism-mycelium-part-1-3-6ec58cdcfaa6
In french only though, sorry!

The cloud of Baidu is such a piece of trash as soon as you're not in China, downloading at late 90's rate (about 10kB/s). Brings back memories

Just came across the news of the death of #AlexChow in HK, the short message left by his father is hearthbreaking.
I'm amazed by how long those protests have been going now, I could never have imagined that China would tolerate this so long. Could it be as I sometimes thought, that Beijing is actually much much weaker than we all think?

J'ai été invité pour parler au Meetup #bitcoin de Liège le 26 novembre, j'ai choisi de résumer l'argument de Brandon Quittem dans son article sur Bitcoin comme un champignon ! Allez le lire, c'est une de mes analogies préférées sur Bitcoin https://medium.com/@BrandonQuittem/bitcoin-is-a-decentralized-organism-mycelium-part-1-3-6ec58cdcfaa6

A friend ask my opinion about some chinese weird blockchain for smart cities project, it's a hideous ppt that is super hard to read and pretend to revolutionnize a lot of stuff without saying much about how they will do it. They say they use the Algorand protocol for their blockchain, a quick search doesn't bring a lot of info but they pretend it's a "perfect" POS blockchain 😅
