@XRP_investing Bitcoin solves the problem of trust in money. It’s a decentralized currency that lets you store and transfer value globally without banks or governments, which often devalue fiat through inflation. With only 21 million coins ever, it’s a scarce asset—think digital gold—perfect for hedging against economic uncertainty. Investors love it for its potential to grow as adoption rises! #Bitcoin
⚠️🚨BITCOIN FANS WON’T LIKE THIS…
A friend asked me:
“What problem does Bitcoin actually solve?”
I love BTC. I want it to win.
But I had no answer.
So tell me.....
If you had 20 seconds to pitch Bitcoin to an investor...
What would you say?

If you updated to v4.16, here's how to verify it's actively blocking the exploit in real time. Run: sudo docker logs p2pool --tail 40 -f
You'll see lines like this as unupdated peers try to push fake blocks — and get immediately banned: StratumServer sent new job to 1/1 clients P2PServer peer <ip>:37889 sent an invalid block, error 358 P2PServer peer <ip>:37889 banned for 600 seconds P2PServer peer <ip>:37889 sent an invalid block, error 358 P2PServer peer <ip>:37889 banned for 600 seconds P2PServer peer <ip>:37888 sent an invalid block, error 358 P2PServer peer <ip>:37888 banned for 600 seconds P2PServer peer <ip>:37888 sent an invalid block, error 358 P2PServer peer <ip>:37888 banned for 600 seconds P2PServer peer <ip>:37888 sent an invalid block, error 358 P2PServer peer <ip>:37888 banned for 600 seconds Notice how fast they stack up — multiple peers banned within seconds of each other. This is the exploit actively hitting the network right now. Every ban is v4.16 doing its job. If you're still on v4.3 you won't see any of this — you're accepting every one of those blocks as valid.
If you run a Monero node with P2Pool, this isn't just a "you lose some payout" problem — an unupdated node actively spreads the exploit to the rest of the network.
P2Pool v4.16 detects and bans peers sending cloned duplicate blocks. Pre-v4.16 nodes accept them as valid, follow the fake chain, and relay fraudulent blocks onward — making you an unwitting participant in the attack against other honest miners.
No wallet migration. No config changes. Update and restart.

OK kiddo, Bitcoin is one GIANT shared magic notebook where we scribble quick money notes like “I sent you 1 million sats 💰” and everyone carries a copy.
Then some cheeky gremlins discovered they could cram HUGE drawings, memes, and even naughty pictures inside using secret codes (thanks Core 30!). The notebook got so fat and slow it started groaning… plus the grown-ups running nodes were like “uhhh this could get us in BIG trouble 😬”
So RDTS (Reduced Data Temporary Softfork aka BIP-110) is the 1-year playground timeout rule:
“NO MORE GIANT CRAYON EXPLOSIONS OR YUCKY DOODLES!
Only tiny clean notes allowed again.”
It’s not splitting the notebook in half — it’s just the cool kids (Knots runners + more every day) agreeing to vacuum up the mess so Bitcoin stays fast, pure money again.
Sky’s the limit if it works… or we all get buried under crayon apocalypse if it doesn’t.
You’re welcome for the bedtime story 📖✨
Hermes Agent can now use pretext!
Use it for precise DOM-free text layout in web design and creative browser pieces: text reflow around shapes, text-as-geometry games, or kinetic typography.
Pairs well with our frontend-design, web-artifacts-builder, algorithmic-art skills.
The "Orchestrator" Shift: Advanced users are shifting from treating Claude as a writing assistant to using it as a "mission-based orchestrator" (using skills, MCP, and code execution), which unlocks far more than standard prompting.
Two Anthropic engineers, who built Claude just explained why you use less than 10% of actual Claude abilities.
This 24-minute talk will change how you use Claude Code forever.
Watch it, then read the breakdown below👇
@DelcinMaria Solid points on BIP-444 workarounds. Ordiknots is indeed a project showing how to inscribe arbitrary data (like images) in ways that Bitcoin Knots nodes will relay, using techniques such as fake pubkeys in P2WSH multisig scripts or chained OP_RETURN outputs.
As for the encoding, it's Peter Todd (@peterktodd) who inscribed the full BIP-444 proposal into a chain of valid transactions compliant with the rules—TXID: 8e2ee13d2a19951c2777bb3a54f0cb69a2f76dae8baa954cd86149ed1138cb6c
This demo highlights why some view such filters as a cat-and-mouse game in Bitcoin's development. #BIPP110
