Love it: “If miners are in control, if devs are in control, it just turns into a shitcoin. The people in charge have to be the users running their own nodes.” ✌️😎

[Cedric Youngelman ⚡️ @CedYoungelman]

Bitcoin Mechanic on who actually controls Bitcoin:

"Miners are employees of the network. That's the end of it. The nodes are the boss. People are very worried about what miners think, and not at all worried about what nodes think. But nodes are more important. They're higher up in the hierarchy. When miners get out of line, it's nodes that give them a slap.

This was the fork wars. We let miners have a say in whether we got SegWit, and they said no. So we fought a war over it, we won, and we slapped the miners and put them back in their place.

If miners are in control, if devs are in control, it just turns into a shitcoin. The people in charge have to be the users running their own nodes."

My attempt to protect users from scam apps on the @AppStore has gotten my Apple Developer account flagged for termination - ironically, for "dishonest activity".

Unless it's reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow Wallet will fail, and development on macOS will end.

The context: since 2023, more than a dozen fake "Sparrow" apps have appeared on the App Store, as recently as April this year. Users have contacted me after losing their savings, in some cases their life savings, to these impersonators.

I'm the developer of the real Sparrow Wallet, a desktop app, and I hold the registered US trademarks for the name and logo. I have publicly warned @Apple and the community about these fake apps from early 2024, but they keep appearing.

The app @Apple flagged was a placeholder that was never published. Its only purpose was to warn users that Sparrow is desktop-only and that other "Sparrow" apps aren't mine. This approach may have been misguided, but there was nothing dishonest about it.

I'm confident this is an automated misclassification that Apple would reverse on review - but I may be terminated before a human ever looks at my appeal. The cost would fall on @Apple's own users: blocked installs and no updates for a tool people rely on, which opens the door for more fakes.

If you value Sparrow, a repost would help. @AppleSupport

@OficjalneZero Rację ma Mentzen 👍 Giełda to nie bank⚠️Na giełdzie się kupuje i sprzedaje. Po to są głównie potrzebne i na tym też zarabiają. A konsumenci mają wybór i ponoszą odpowiedzialność za niewiedzę.

Hi. Professional C/C++ programmer here. The open-source code I can find written by Adam Back and Satoshi Nakamoto don't look remotely similar.

Back's code looks typical of academic Unix programmers who also hack their code to run on Windows.

Satoshi code was written by a professional Windows programmer who also wrote for Unix.

Stylistically, they look nothing alike. There's not enough time between 2005 when I can find the newest Adam Back and January 2009 when Satoshi published Bitcoin/0.1 to account for the change. Both are perfectly competent programmers, but stylistically, they are completely different.

The NYTimes tried to compare their English language in posts/emails. I'm compare their C/C++ language in their open-source code. The NYTimes merely points out they both use C++ as if that's another corroborating detail, when the actual code seems to disqualify Adam Back.

Everyone’s freaking out about the #Bitcoin bear market, JP Morgan FUD and “new risks”.
I’m working, stacking, sleeping well.
5–10 years from now, the same banks throwing FUD may be running on it ✌️😎

@Andrzej_BTC Jest jeszcze trzeci problem, być może największy: ile czasu Ocean będzie mógł kopać łańcuch, z którego nagrody nie będą pokrywać nawet kosztów? 🤔 A w zasadzie to pytanie dotyczy udziałowców puli, którzy musieliby w większości na to przystać.

[pldmachine @pldmachine1]

@Andrzej_BTC Racja. Na razie jednak nie za wielu developerów na Knots.
