@nvk The world isn't perfect. Having bitcoinhackers.org is still a huge improvement over Twitter. You don't need to solve every problem perfectly, first try.
Everyone will be so depressed when bitcoin will crash -25% below 100k
Mastodon is great but just don't use it for DMs, there is no end-to-end encryption and @nvk can read everything
Let's hope that at least here Mastodon we don't get invaded by discussions about American politics
Make Mastodon Great Again
Glad to see some activity over here again, hopefully this time we get some critical mass to keep this going

“No private entity can claim monetary power, which is inherent to the sovereignty of nations”
Nation states won't give up monetary monopoly without a fight. Probably big corporation are still not powerful enough to directly compete with governments, right now only Bitcoin can do it as it wisely moved the battlefield outside of bureaucrats comfort-zone

Despite their claims, @[email protected]'s hosted mining services are absolutely a centralisation risk, just like any other hosted mining.
If you're going to buy hosted mining anyway, pick a small-hashrate company to provide it, but don't fool yourself into thinking it's comparable to actually mining yourself.
(BetterHash only helps when you physically control the hardware.)
Shit, I just destroyed my Cold Card wallet by forgetting the PIN. I set it up months ago, never put any money on it, now I wanted to start using it but I have no idea what PIN I used
I had no idea it was impossible to reset the device without the PIN
Just published a new article on locks, money and their role to developing large societies
"Locks made large human communities possible and money made trade scale. Bitcoin happens to be an improvement on both technologies"
It must be really annoying trying to build a "better Bitcoin", and having to rely mostly on marketing to achieve it. Altcoiners life looks stressful
Each time I receive the Bitcoin Optech Newsletter I feel like another week has passed and somehow I'm getting older
Now that phones have almost become a commodity, advance privacy features may become one of the few things people are willing to pay a premium for
After reading this I feel grateful for how Bitcoin was maintained, keeping me able to run a full archival indexed node on a cheap laptop without issues
I really like the signet proposal. I'd love to see it integrated into Core, although I'd prefer it without a default signer. For people using this feature I don't think it is a problem to specify a signet identifier parameter in the bitcoin.conf

Does anyone have any paper or document that elaborates on the fact that blockchain analysis are not to be considered reliable?
I am consulting the Italian government for a "blockchain national strategy", and I wanted to pick the occasion to highly the fact that no one should ever be incriminated on the basis of blockchain analysis
