I’ve rarely seen someone play Quasimodo (a game I wrote as a kid) as well as this YouTube gamer.

It can be downloaded for free on 8-bit gamer sites and runs on any 6502 assembly emulator.

RAM originally required to run: 16KB ;)

Can't really get much closer than that today. It looks pretty bad but I'm really impressed by how such an old building could resist this well

!!!

This isn't talked about enough:
Storing your mnemonic seed alone isn't enough, you also need to store the derivation path.

Ledger Live software is generally unusable on my (Debian Sid) system. It does enable RBF when creating a tx, but it doesn't allow you to bump the fee.
Had some serious issues when importing my seed into Electrum until I found out it was using an incorrect derivation path. Only when I (manually) fixed that, I could see I had > 0 satoshis.

Write it down to avoid panic ;)

This thread is interesting about a very old case which has now been brought to light; Silk Road 2.

Does anyone else remember being super-suspicious about how Blake Benthall basically seemed to have gotten away with it?

@jon Should be of interest to many node runners, but do remember, it's your call whether you ban peers :)

Btw there is a `listbanned` command line option for bitcoin-cli for checking status.

Techie friends: if you haven’t started using Mosh (vs SSH) yet, you should. The short version is that it’s SSH over UDP, so it’s connectionless and you don’t get disconnected whenever your IP changes (like you walk into work and your phone jumps from LTE to Wi-Fi) or your laptop goes to sleep. It also has much better interactive latency, especially on slow mobile networks. “The user pressed ‘A’ and isn’t in Vim’s command mode. I’ll display a proposed ‘A’ then unless the server tells me not to.”

There is currently an interesting discussion ongoing around coinjoin+hw-wallet signing+PSBT and related. afaik Greg Sanders kicked this off a while back on the mailing list and it's been a point of discussion ever since. Now Trezor is getting serious about coinjoin support, the discussion is moving there:
