:D French put in a decent fight in the first 40' though.

French really ran out of steam after that second scrum penalty. What an effort in the last 20'! That Stormers backline was fire again too.

Great episode!

Yes :)

Didn't expect this today: The bitcoin kernel API is now in Bitcoin Core's master branch! A decade of effort for various contributors and three years from myself: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30595 Looking forward to an ecosystem of implementations, full nodes, and tools being developed around it!

Not as a daily driver, but we've been testing it out in Bitcoin Core to make CI and dev environments more reproducible. A few tools were migrated to nix recently.

Nice episode.

I haven't used java in a very long time, so can't say I have :P

Since v25: Cutting initial blockchain download time in half, encrypting p2p communications, making lightning safer and cheaper to use, allow immediate bootstrap with assumeutxo, shipped better miniscript and descriptors support, easier compilation with cmake, fixed a bunch of CVEs that have been present since a long time, complete obfuscation of on-chain data, better coin selection, the mining interface for easy home mining with stratumv2, better and safer localnet hole punching with natpmp and pcp, and a whole bunch more. You can read all about it at https://bitcoincore.org/en/releases/ .

Would be cool if you guys could work with it too! I think even if you have little interest in it as a replacement for your own consensus code, it might still be interesting as a tool to improve robustness.

Two projects I know well, liana and the bitbox02 firmware, are written in rust and have reproducible builds setups. But maybe you mean something else?

rustc does reproducible builds.

Mmh, I'm planning on adding coin lookups, then you can program that yourself.

Some actual movement happening here too!

Yeah, shaky reasoning at best.

Indeed :)
