learnmeabitcoin .com is goated amongst educational bitcoin resources

it's got the best explainers and it's packed with utilities

was a pleasure chatting with @in3rsha diving into everything: from the genesis story to how Tachyons is his preferred CSS framework, and much more

@cguida6 Bitcoin is already money. Stop gaslighting.

[zender ⚔️ @zndtoshi]

If there is a minority of miners signaling for bip110 (let's say under 20%) then the rest of the miners will be happy.

When those 20% fork off the network there would be a lot more revenue for those remaining.

The incentives are to NOT mine a fork that did not reach consensus.

On this day in history, 10 years ago, the Opendime was released. The USB can be passed by hand, checked by plugging in, and spent only after removing the resistor off the circuit board to reveal the private key, turning the bitcoin into the object itself.

Yes, in case you hadn’t noticed, Bitcoin Core follows a release schedule: new major versions come out every six months, in April and October. Maintenance releases (bump in Minor version) come out as needed.

@ForrestHODL @GrassFedBitcoin this was all done last year. now it's a waste of everyones time. there's comprehensive FAQs massive scrollbacks, 100 of sunk hours explaining the same basics again and again. enough. they can FAFO.

@ishi0k - Satélite
- Radio
- Redes mesh
- SMS (con intermediarios)
- Medios físicos

Todos ellos son tecnologías que nos permiten finalmente llegar a Internet, que es donde reside Bitcoin

[Mikel Penagarikano [!🔑 ⇨ !₿] @mpenagar]

@ishi0k No termino de entender la distinción que haces entre internet y "forma de comunicación". Bitcoin es un protocolo que funciona sobre internet, sin internet no hay ni propagación de transacciones ni de bloques. Esa "forma de comucicación" requiere de conexión a internet.

Tick tock. Congrats, miner!

This guy, who works on optimizing Core is continuing to spamming my feed with lies, and has now done so followed by a block

@Anton__BTC 🤷

[Mikel Penagarikano [!🔑 ⇨ !₿] @mpenagar]

@Anton__BTC All of then are policies applied to consensus-valid transactions. And we all already know that there is no way to filter any consensus-valid transaction if there is a minority of tolerant nodes that relay them. Miners will receive them and will be mined.

[Mikel Penagarikano [!🔑 ⇨ !₿] @mpenagar]

@murchandamus @Scotthew82 They discovered a new "N prisoner's dilemma" which proves that any absurd softfork will always beat the legacy chain. A courier will deliver the documents with all the mathematical proofs next December.

[Mikel Penagarikano [!🔑 ⇨ !₿] @mpenagar]

@Anton__BTC The "tolerant minority" effect was obvious by Octover 2025, sub 1 sat/vByte transactions where there despite not being relayed by virtually the entire network. Filters never worked; It's simply that nobody bothered to test them.

[Mikel Penagarikano [!🔑 ⇨ !₿] @mpenagar]

@fixingmoneybtc @Anton__BTC He is right, but the assumption "once BIP 110 becomes longest chain" is key here. Any soft fork will attract all the nodes when it becomes the heaviest chain. But that doesn't mean it's going to happen.

[Mikel Penagarikano [!🔑 ⇨ !₿] @mpenagar]

@Anton__BTC Sure, as you say, once BIP 110 becones longest chain. Running a (not just) Core node and using it to accept coins is a signaling to the miners that bitcoin does not need useless filters. The fact that soft forks have certain advantages doesn't make any absurd proposal viable.

[Mr.Hodldamus @MrHodl]

@Airbtconline No idea. I'd probably disappear too

[Mikel Penagarikano [!🔑 ⇨ !₿] @mpenagar]

@Vladcostea Basically both are the same if they don't start very close to the edge...

[Mikel Penagarikano [!🔑 ⇨ !₿] @mpenagar]

@Vladcostea @adam3us I guess one can try the exact same stupid thing with monero or zcash coins. It is not a privacy problem.
