I wrote a guide to critiquing Bitcoin for nocoiners.
I will create a LN store on my fund's website and sell these for ~$3 apiece. they cost me exactly $1.82 per die so I will need to cover mailing costs too. I have exactly 500.
Why isn't blake2 used more...
Merged PR from jnewbery: Remove accounts rpcs https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/14023
maybe I should get around to figuring out why I have a balance discrepancy between trezor and my full node. perhaps I didn't derive+import all the correct addresses... I wish it was easier to import bip44/49 wallets, right now I have to use a script...

@jb55 Right, first it was #craigwright and #calvinayre splitting off, now #cobra has added his hat into the ring, with another fork proposal. So there will be three different #shitcoins going.

it finished syncing
took somewhat longer than expected because it had to restart from scratch on nbd instead of a sd card (which is buggy at the moment), but it got there without further issues that's neat
A bit nitpicky but mostly fair criticism of The Bitcoin Standard. https://twitter.com/twhirty_/status/1031576875678801920?s=19
Announcing LNvis alpha - A Lightning Network visualizer https://medium.com/@jb55/announcing-lnvis-a-lightning-network-visualizer-7706c7f330c0
uhh whatcha doing there CoinOS?
Worked on LNvis a bit more tonight, a lightning networking visualizer. Here I'm playing with different ways of visualizing single and dual channels between nodes:
Think I'm going to use this account for all bitcoin/lightning related content instead of a mixing it in with functional programming / other dev stuff.
