Please promote this far and wide. If you are on Twitter please post on Twitter and any other online forums you use. https://gist.github.com/michaelfolkson/92899f27f1ab30aa2ebee82314f8fe7f
If you support ST (Speedy Trial) proposal please ACK this so we can log the level of support for this proposal https://gist.github.com/michaelfolkson/92899f27f1ab30aa2ebee82314f8fe7f

New Taproot activation proposal on the mailing list "Speedy trial". This looks like it could progress in Core. If your top priority is getting Taproot activated, I'd encourage supporting this. If your top priority is LOT=true over getting Taproot activated I can see why you might oppose this. Personally my top priority is Taproot activation. https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2021-March/018583.html
If you support a BIP 8 (1 year, LOT=true) UASF please join ##uasf on IRC. Fighting through the obfuscation, politics and ego wars is torture but we do need to finalize a timetable that everyone is happy with as soon as is possible. And I'm directing all the noise to other channels to keep ##uasf relatively noise free.

Just to reiterate in relation to Gab getting hacked, I’m not aware of any vulnerabilities in Mastodon at the moment and based on what I have seen in their code modifications the vulnerabilities they have are the ones they themselves introduced (along with never porting security patches from us)

I2P network support was just merged into Bitcoin Core for the upcoming v22 release, adding a second privacy network available to users / nodes (please test it and report any issues). 🥳

As it stands, I will be running the LOT=True alternative release.

the documentation for setting up authentication for Tor V3 onion services could use some improvement
i managed to figure it out but had to use a some python snippet from a gist, and manually created various extra directories and files, i could understand if many users run into trouble

At Wednesday's Bitcoin Core review club, we'll continue our review of the Python implementation of Minisketch.
Put on your mathematics cap; computational algebra with the Berlekamp Trace Algorithm is on the menu.
Thanks to Pieter Wuille for hosting!
