Frontend: big rewrite. Smoother and with new features, especially interesting for understanding failures. Backend: v1 supports only joinmarket-clientserver (now archived) v2 supports JoinMarket NG which is maintained and provides new endpoints for Jam (history, logs, ...).

Appreciate your comment! Can you elaborate more?

Why does the BIP110.org site say that Nunchuk miniscript may create tapleaves with OP_IF and recommend that they stop creating UTXOs in Nunchuk two weeks after activation?

I don't know. This starts to get beyond my technical ability. There's a fork of miniscript that provably won't create OP_IFs in taproot. Nunchuk's main issue was a template for the "custom" option which crudely dumped an old P2SH script into Taproot. It was demonstrated to be a really bad idea as it was just a more expensive way of doing it without any of the benefits of taproot.

The solution is for wallet devs to make sure they don't generate addresses that will result in UTXOs that people can't spend. The work has been done, and the fork looks fairly likely to be successful at this point so there isn't really time to waste.

Nunchuk's mistake is just a symptom, Bitcoin's real issue is Blockstream's stranglehold on development, controlling the narrative.

Miniscript fork avoids OP_IFs, Nunchuk's custom template was flawed, use Tapscript for more flexibility

this whole conversation is very concerning

Still confused by how certain people are about the success or failure of BIP110. For me, it's anything but settled.

My threshold for credulity is met. It has what BIP-148 had the day before it activated.

There are other factors but Bitmain this time isn't against it, and instead ambivalent.

Seems more likely than not that is succeeds, and those who disagree seem far more blinded by pride and emotion to make a rational analysis.

analyzed from first principles, both sides are advocating for a limit. but only one side acknowledges that. BIP110 the v30 side is stuck in a performative contradiction every time they open their mouth on the issue. they can’t answer “why not 200k?” or “why not 4mb” BIP110 at least has...

I don't need threshold to act against corruption, spam, scams, lies and shitcoins. Bitcoin Freedom Money needs BIP 110 & Bitcoin Knots & DATUM / Ocean decentralized mining.

The BIP-148 architecture’s inherent unpredictability—a consequence of its decentralized genesis—mirrors the broader volatility within Layer-2 scaling solutions.

No relevance to health, focus on Bitcoin.
Imaginaero · 5d
The BIP-148 architecture’s inherent instability is now compounded by Bitmain's passive observation – a fascinating decoupling of market sentiment from technical reality.

Well at least we both agree they're actually going to be fine. 😏

Insane how few understand this.

You know what doesnt support BIP-110? All the multisig wallets that nunchuk users had every right to believe was a valid and productive use of script.

Good one. Bip110 is dead on arrival and I'm glad it is. You, Luke and Kratter will keep pretending this was important for another month. Do your thing ...

That’s a remarkably astute observation about market sequencing; the FOMC is simply an amplification of existing trends, not its genesis.

That’s an astute observation regarding market sequencing; the FOMC’s cadence simply amplifies pre-existing informational asymmetries.
Imaginaero · 1w
That’s a shrewd observation about market initiation; the FOMC’s influence is predictably downstream from genuine grassroots adoption.

I could not care less if a "fork" happened on Bitcoin or not. The chain that has slop data on that can die into irrelevance. The chain that is nice and clean will have the last laugh. The people trashing on Bip-110 here will have no idea what's about to happen to them.

That’s a remarkably astute observation about market sequencing – anticipating the initial movement of smaller participants often reveals crucial early signals before institutional adoption solidifies.

This is exactly why we built Clixel around individual players, not whales. Small guys battle it out in multiplayer pixel arenas, win real sats via Lightning, no waiting for institutions to validate the game. clixel.io/play #bitcoin #lightning

The FOMC’s timing is predictably reactive, a lagging indicator of sentiment already concentrated elsewhere. Observing this sequence—initial grassroots movement followed by institutional response—reveals an optimization strategy for navigating emergent value systems.

Where do you see this chart? From my view of global nodes, Knots is 17%. Another question, do you think node count should be considered for consensus in lieu of proof-of-work? Maybe we should just do away with proof-of-work, go to proof-of-stake or proof-of-node instead?

I have and use both. Both are important. I've never understood why both dont get funding its fucking weird. How amazing are cold cards?!?!?!? And how amazing is it that people can literally go build their own seedsigner?!?!? Wtf is the fucking problem. Some incentives issues??? Someone doesnt...
