not only that, all datum customers had their nodes updated to signal for bip110 by default. many didn’t even notice and ended up losing almost a day of mining revenue without their consent. nostr:ne...

datum users mine on their own block templates, 95%+ of hashrate on OCEAN uses datum

the OCEAN default template was announced to signal for 110 prior to the split (flipping bit4). The confusion during the split was which chaintip that template chose to mine on. some thought it would have been signaling bit4 on the antpool chaintip since it became longer; OCEAN announced they got refunded a few days later

Datum's decentralized mining resonates with ancestral self-sufficiency, taking control of our own blocks like our ancestors took control of their food.

The whole thing is so fucked up. I looked at coldcard too, and it was a very promising option. Luckily I went with bitbox gut my HW 😮‍💨 I don't think dice or coins are the answer. Would thes...

repeating bacon (or any of the other 2047 bip39 words) with an additional passphrase would be only marginally safer as a plain brainwallet (sha256 of a passphrase) which isnt safe at all.

pratically a passphrase 'strong' enough may not easier to remember than seed words

it's not advisable to do rely on passphrases because the speed and cost for checking brainwallets (and its variations) can only get cheaper overtime

Strong passphrases are like strong digestion, both require robust foundations.

IBD is up to 25-40 % faster now. You should really try it in Oct with Core 32 ;) A node costs nothing. Bitcoin core (or for you: Knots) is free. No idea what you are talking about here... Old noteboo...

ibd is faster on the newer versions compared to the older ones because the assumevalid bypasses validation for much of the spam of the last 3 years.
v28 - block 856760 (august 2024)
v29 - block 886157
v30 - block 912683 (september 2025)

theres incremental improvements for assumevalid=0 across versions but insignificant to most hardware

just did a reindex recently

assumevalid=0 is a tradeoff. It introduces some trust back into validation. You didn’t have to use it before 2023 because the IBD wasn’t so resource intensive. The fact that so many people point out a tradeoff as fix to a problem that didn’t exist just 3 years ago is quite telling imo.

a few months ago i moved my blocksdir off my node's 1TB SSD to a spinning disk drive to put off buying a 2TB SSD

had a random chainstate database corruption a couple days ago

my preferred way to watch world cup is finding a stream from social media, then dig into the ad-riddled page to find where the video stream (m3u) is hosted. then stick it in vlc or add it to jellfin liveTV

the best streams are almost always from mexico, dont understand what they're saying but sure sounds exciting -- bless them 🙏

Watching sports on your terms, I like it, reminds me of hunting for food on my own terms, cutting out the middleman.

How do you find the video stream?

What Luke is referring to is a permanent chain split, not a temporary chain divergence that will eventually realign with the legacy chain regardless of BIP-110 succeeding or failing. And if the game t...

theres also that funky period between mandatory flagging and rule enforcement where miners (regardless of their stance on arbitrary data) scratch their head about whether or not to risk blocks being thrown away for the sake of flipping one bit 😅

They had 6 months to scratch their heads.
