I'm (back) here to learn

[raindogdance @raindogdance]

Deactivated my account and apparently those get deleted completely after 30 days. Good to know. Back here to check on the bitcoin circus, and to keep my handle for nostalgic reasons. Restarting from zero, let's go!

2026, the year of the forks

BREAKING: New Bitcoin Fork

I am helping create a **new Bitcoin Hardfork** -- dropping this August, called "eCash".

- Your coins will split. For example, if you have 4.19 BTC, then you will get 4.19 eCash.
- You may sell your eCash -- or keep it. Or ignore it!

Vegas:

- Yes, I will be in Vegas next week.
- No, I won't mention this, on stage -- (that would be rude).

Our L1 Node...

- is a near-copy of Bitcoin Core.
- is Sha256d mined.
- forks via a one-time difficulty-reset -- to its minimum value. (So, mining will be crazy at first.)
- Yes, we will change the seed nodes, the name, the network magic, etc.

Codewise, the L1 will remain compatible with Bitcoin Core:

- We will continue to merge their changes (even the bad ones).
- The L1 will activate Bip300/301 via CUSF -- the core untouched soft fork. So, no lines of code will be changed, on the L1.
- The activation client will be published periodically (link below).
- We will do several bug bounty contests this summer.
- The client will be frozen 30 days prior to the fork.

Yes, there will be Drivechains:

- We have 7 in developement right now.
- Users can also submit their own.
- Drivechain is a vision of "competing L2s" -- this avoids the "dev capture" problem.
- These L2s are all Merged Mined. Miners automatically get free $.
- Our L2s are already capable of planetary scale, and onboarding 8 billion users.
- We also have a zCash-like L2, with strong privacy.
- Other L2s: Truthcoin (Prediction Markets), CoinShift (Decentralized Exchange), BitAssets (NFT etc), BitNames (Identity), Photon (Quantum Resistant).

Unlike BCH (the 2017 fork):

- There is no "Bitcoin" in the name. New name, new brand.
- You are getting advanced warning (4 months).
- We are replaying all txns (at first). We will release a coin-splitter tool.
- This is a permanent & sustainable fix to Bitcoin's problems (instead of a 1 MB to 8 MB temporary fix).
- Back in 2017, the BTC tech stack was strong, and expectations for Lightning were strong. Today, it is the reverse.

Video to follow.

Wouldn't have happened with bitcoin

[⊹ ࣪ ˖✨Sparkle ⌞VSleepie⌝ 🐾⊹ ࣪ ˖ @SparklezPawz]

Today I learned why I don’t do stupid things like burping for perverts.

Some guy gave me 110 USD just to burp in a call, and I found it funny cause it was easy money to help me with the new apartment I moved into

Now my PayPal has 2 disputes to fully refund him, I’m rlly upset. That money was for food, and I even spent a little to get art for future merch :(

I learned my lesson though, PayPal will be in the negatives for a tiny bit now :/

[raindogdance @raindogdance]

Wow, BIP361 is not even activated yet and it already works

[Sani | TimechainIndex.com @SaniExp]

All these old coins moving before getting 361ed

[raindogdance @raindogdance]

Wow strong signals here

[raindogdance @raindogdance]

If you're concerned that v30 will kill Bitcoin, just skip ahead to v31

[Murch @murchandamus]

@coinjoined Irrecoverable

[raindogdance @raindogdance]

@intangiblecoins Thanks BIP-110

[raindogdance @raindogdance]

@peterktodd @adam3us You're just salty that you're not Satoshi anymore 🙈

It's oke, you still can be Graig Wright

@BitMEXResearch "vessels are given a few seconds to pay in Bitcoin"

Looking forward to the first RBF scenario here

On a long enough timescale, everyone will have been Satoshi

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Bitcoin’s founder, Satoshi Nakamoto, has remained hidden for 17 years. A trail of clues — and a year of digging by our reporter, John Carreyrou — led us to a 55-year-old computer scientist in El Salvador named Adam Back. https://t.co/s6Jy00IDdk

[raindogdance @raindogdance]

@coinjoined Maybe I could accept that, but the Rechtschreibreform was one of the biggest blunders in Germany's Geschichte. Just look how they massacred my boy ß

In a world of Saylors, be more like zender

[Luke Dashjr @LukeDashjr]

@Loriss65 @zndtoshi zender is an anarchist who actually wants Bitcoin to be illegal because he's deluded himself into thinking people will run it anyway and ignore the State.
