Ok this one's dope - @papercliping is now live on the Umbrel App Store!
It lets you run a whole team of AI agents like a company, right on your home server.
Create agents with API keys, or login with your Codex/Claude Code subscription, or even onboard your existing OpenClaw/Hermes agent as an employee in your company!
Bitcoin Knots is NOT poorly maintained nor has "large flaws". What Core is doing is strong, maybe even definitive, evidence it has been taken over by people hostile to Bitcoin's success.
Consensus rules is NOT the place to mitigate spam. It has always been done in policy for good reason, and is most effective there. None of the "problems" you claim about divergence between policy and consensus rules are real problems.
Stop letting bad actors gaslight you.

Think Tailscale, but with no third-party company and no central control server in the middle.
Silent Payments Explained Simply
A major privacy issue for Bitcoin is address reuse. If you reuse a Bitcoin address, anyone with that address can see your transaction history and balances.
The solution was to generate a new bitcoin address for each transaction.
Silent Payments allow you to reuse a single static payment address, that generates a new on-chain bitcoin address every single time you receive.
