In order to fight #BIP110, Mow had to sacrifice his Ω candle that will not show up anytime soon now. Well, you cannot have both, and his reputation is wrecked anyway ;-)

Bitcoiners are working on separating money from the state—while on the other side, opponents are working on separating bitcoin from the blockchain. Misusing the blockchain as a data store and managing bitcoin centrally in banking databases reflects exactly that. Wake up.

If #BIP110 really had been an attack on bitcoin, then I would have expected to see a green relief candle on the chart ;-)

The last battle has been lost, and it is sad to see that the anti-spam movement is now divided into two groups. One group wants to hard fork the chain, and the other wants to continue to defend the existing chain with the available means such as decentralized mining and filtering. The latter seems slower but more realistic, as it is almost impossible to overcome existing network effects. The situation in the bitcoin space may change rapidly, and bad actors may disqualify themselves. Mt. Gox, FTX, etc., are gone; the same may apply to Saylor & Co. With dying sponsors like Coinkite, their supported sinfluencers will disappear as well. In a couple of years, the situation may look different.

How can I collapse the sidebar in #Amethyst v1.13.1 in portrait mode on a tablet? Currently it stays open all the time and the bottom navigation bar is never shown. :-(

Spam filtering is not dead. #Knots 20260508 is currently being replaced by 20260507, as the stats show.

The mining landscape has shifted—e.g., the China mining ban—and may shift again. Furthermore, #DATUM did not die with #BIP110. The war for more decentralization is still on.

Jonathan Bier was a flash in the pan; already long forgotten.

Unfortunately, this battle has been lost. Quo vadis bitcoin? Replicating the network effect with a fork would be almost impossible. So, is holding the status quo by running #Knots 29.3.0 20260507 (without #RDTS) the way forward in the meantime?

It seems that AntPool was completely ignorant (minded 961632 immediately) and Foundry hesitated and mined their first block after deadline (961635) only after 1 hour 26 minutes.

Do not listen to Saylor, but look at what he is actually doing. He sold over 1.6k bitcoins last week. Therefore, he seems to expect price volatility—either through a chaotic chain split or #BIP110 adoption—rather than smooth sailing with no storm. He basically admits that he has overestimated his influence and does not know what will happen next.

Two times 21 is a nice number of #BIP110 blocks.

The price of Ethereum stagnated. Why would an Ethereum-like Bitcoin not stagnate as well? #BIP110

No, Jimmy

It is ironic that the author of a book about how fiat ruins everything is now writing blog posts about splitting coins – which is unpractical without replay protection – in order to sell them for more fiat gains; that is quite a fiat thing to do. Is it consternation that ProductionReady is a stillborn and does not gain traction like #BIP110? Leading a grassroots movement requires conviction and proof of work.

Over 4k Lightning channels have already been closed since the beginning of the month. So much for the "nothing will happen" narrative. One can only hope that mining pools are smarter than that and realize what choosing not to listen to the community means for the future. Therefore, avoid further disruption and adopt #BIP110.

Yes, he is annoying

Exactly, it seems somehow irrational for the miners not to signal at the end:

21 is the number. 21 blocks. That's the signal.

Exactly, and their symbol will be BTS
