- If #Bitcoin confuses you, it's important to remember that we're trying to change *accepted social norms*. That's weird, slow and confusing. In my Linux days we were dealing with "that's not how you construct software", Bitcoin is "that's not how you construct money". 1/7
- Speculating on Satoshis identity is not just a way increase someone's risk of violent theft attempts: it also pointlessly disrespects his clear desire for privacy. Be classy: keep your fantasies to yourself.
- Repricing #bitcoin in sats is sensible, overdue and a hard challenge. I'm impressed we're taking it on. Remember: there will only ever be 2100 trillion sats!
- The most damage to #bitcoin development was done by altcoins and their successors. The noise and scam feedback loop made the entire space anathema to most FOSS devs, our natural allies. That's why I have zero tolerance for alts.
- Just in time for my week off, my sample arrived! Get yours now, to celebrate #Tether buying a chunk of @Blockstream …itcoin-celebration.creator-spring.com/listing/blocks…
- Finally, Lightning Spec v1.0 tagged! Special thanks to all at @acinq_co @lightning @Blockstream who pulled together, and of course @tdryja and @jcp for starting the snowball. github.com/lightningnetwo… There's no pause though, we're accelerating with 1.1!
- Replying to @rusty_twitOf course, then you will never make the next generation understand how radical the now Normal Thing was, now their perceptions have shifted. I'm just astonished that I get to do this *twice*. I'm really not even that clever, I'm just amazingly lucky. 7/7
- You may disagree with how #bitcoin was designed, but you should understand it. Genuine apologies if this is discomforting news, but this needs to be part of our base knowledge. Longread.
- My @linuxconfau "Future Bitcoin Tech" video is up at youtu.be/VABppufTdpA notes at docs.google.com/document/d/1iN… aka 24 Coming Bitcoin Technologies Everyone Should Know: #4 Will Surprise You!
- Finished my 4000-word dense summary of ~20 proposed #bitcoin enhancements. So much awesome! Facing impossible task of creating brief accurate summaries for non-bitcoin devs: many of these were 1hr talks by themselves... rego.linux.conf.au/schedule/prese…
