Impressive!

I’ve definitely gotten some pushback for my take on BIP-444. But I still haven’t gotten any answers to two basic questions: 1. Who will monitor the blockchain? 2. Who decides when action is needed?

That’s a good question. I don’t think it requires a majority of notes, but I do think it requires a large consensus. Maybe larger than it has now?

Ok I get the soft fork bit. But I don’t follow who makes the call and scans for the material and sets everything in motion when necessary.

Fresh TWiB! Last week, I asked if the US government shutdown was impacting Bitcoin. Boy did I get my answer! Also thought on BIP-444, the supposed whale selling, and more. Enjoy! 🍻 https://fountain.fm/episode/WOslYaeXHkGPni8BznUK

GM. Stormy sunrise on the farm. I always hate leaving the homestead during a big storm. Anyone else feel that way?

Ok, WTF Is going on with BIP-444? Is this a prank? BIP-444 proposes removing entire blocks if there is toxic content immediately, but who decides what is toxic content?

How do people post video on Nostr? I tried both Zap.Stream for uploading a video, and nostr.build. Both puked in ugly ways. Is there another service I am missing that works?

I watched the FOMC meeting so you don’t have to. And it’s rate cuts, but with a gotcha. Plus the two companies working on a Bitcoin line of credit and why I think they sound terrific, and a lot more! https://fountain.fm/episode/tpO39owhO8Nv1arT5lrQ
