You know what they say “stay humble stack sats.”
Compared to me it sounds like you are Satoshi. I went to your GitHub to check out Merka… What is the Merka homelab?

2025-05-21 02:37:22

Do you really care about that information? Or did the government say we are trying to prevent Money laundering and you thought that it sounded good?
If you are receiving all of the “funds” you requested before I receive said product, good, or service….what are we here talking about?
Where the “funds” came from? The same corrupt people that can literally print 1.34 billion dollars for less than $1,000.
I thought money printing was illegal? Oh, only in my house.
You can’t print Bitcoin for free. Or can you?

If this is a serious question then I feel like I should give my 2 satoshi. I will attach a picture that shows I ran core on my start 9. Then all of this happened and I upgraded to knots. So the logo is still core, but the name and features changed to knots.
We don’t want just 1 option. We would love to have core, knots and a few more. Most bitcoiners have 10 different wallets. Not because we need them. It’s because it is cool. We are nerdy like that.
So we are switching to knots because we want to configure our node in our own home, or in our control to the way we like it. We respect what developers do. All developers no matter if they work at core, knots, Libre….ect.
It sounds to me like developers don’t respect developers if anything. I’m not bashing anyone on anything they have said in the past. I am strictly trying to make the point that Luke says he has an idea to stop the UTXO bloat and there is no mention of how it can be made better, or worse, or implemented ect.
For this bitcoin thing to work we all need each other. I understand as a developer you have a huge burden of responsibility to ensure that things keep working, but Satoshi said it best. “Peer to peer electronic cash”
If it isn’t supporting the title of the white paper, or the first sentence of the paper… then what are we really talking about? It’s more of a popularity contest.
When I say we need each other I specifically am talking about the world wide collective. Bitcoin is still running without Satoshi, so I am not being outright disrespectful by thinking that Bitcoin needs ME specifically. I have killed that ego a long long time ago.

People are funny. If the fiat system crashes today then we all would be wishing we held more bitcoin. As I see it…. I don’t want the fiat system crashing. What would people that don’t use bitcoin do? Take from those that have bitcoin because we would be the only ones buying things in the stores.
Of course those with USDT will also be buying at the stores, but only if the hold it on Strike.
Keep up the great show Paula!

To make this post not so long and boring… I will try to summarize by making the blanket statement that both sides of this thing aren’t saying that they see things from the other side. I will do that now.
I understand what he is saying when he says “transactions will still end up in the blockchain.” I feel that any jpg, inscription, etc should be allowed in the chain. I also understand that my filter does not prevent it from being in the chain. I don’t want to speak for everyone out there. If another node runner wants higher limits, or lower limits, wants to fit 4mb pictures into a block then I welcome their choice and will defend their right to choose what filters they want. Where we diverge is that I want the choice. I don’t want Jameson, Peter, Shinobi, Luke, Shitcoin Mechanic (I only use that name because he used it during the debate,) WK057 or anyone else to tell me what settings I should have. Satoshi Gave me a way to have a choice and I want to exercise that choice. So when the few developers say that they are unilaterally deleting the choice…. I have to voice my concern and take appropriate steps to ensure that I have a choice.
Thank you for telling me about that video. I learned a lot and it cleared up the real motivation for them wanting to change and change so quickly. When I heard all 3 of them say “it doesn’t matter, but we are changing it anyway…” I knew there was more to the story. They are dealing with Citrea and they developed Clementine which needs the 140 instead of 80. I have no problem with that. My problem is that they tried to pull the wool over like people don’t think, or aren’t developers so we wouldn’t understand. They used the example of lightning or other layer 2 “maybe needing more op_return space in the future… Things weren’t adding up. Now is see… The developers want to help Citrea use 140 of op_return which is more expensive than 80 of witness, but is it more expensive than 80 of witness plus 40 of op_return? I don’t know that answer. Now I am just thinking out loud and rambling lmao

I was nostalgic about keeping one of my nodes on Core until this week. I uppgraded my last node to Knots. As soon as I heard Jameson and Shinobi on 2 different occasions say “we are pushing this update no matter what.” I had no choice. Which is sad because once again…. Here I am with one choice of Bitcoin Knots which is not really a choice because It’s the only.

That makes 2 of us. I am not an expert either I’m just looking for more clarification on how I see the issues they are dealing with. Thank you for being level headed and responding. I want to learn more. I am under the impression that I could be wrong and my mind will be changed.
People should definitely be able to get their non financial transactions into the chain. What I don’t understand is why does the op_return limit need to be taken away so the non financial transactions can get those transactions into the chain cheaper? Shouldn’t all transactions have to bid the same amount to get into the chain.

BLOCK 895904 Mined by VIABTC There are no op_return transactions nor fees. I also checked
BLOCK 895903 Secpool
BLOCK 895902 Antpool
BLOCK 895901 Secpool
BLOCK 895900 F2pool
BLOCK 895899 BTC.com
BLOCK 895895 Foundry and none of them have any transactions with op_return nor fees. UNLESS I am looking at it wrong. I could be wrong right now.
Does every miner want to offer this “service?” Are they are trying to say that large miners have spent literally hundreds of thousands and millions and millions of dollars on equipment, staff, research, acquisition, buildings, electricity, miner, shipping, internet, computers ect. But they can’t afford to find 1 person that will set up out of band transactions for them?
Come on man. I was born at night but not last night.
Yes, people go to great lengths to accomplish their goals. I for one… I AM THAT GUY!!!! 100% Just because people will pay a miner on the side to get what they want doesn’t necessitate the change to make it easier for them.
Most people usually don’t go around checking front door knobs for open doors because in most places we assume they are locked. (In the U.S. specifically.) Let’s imagine a place that never locked their doors. I would assume more people would probably use the option to try the door knob because it is easy access. So in around about way this would be encouraging people to try to open the front door.
In theory it sounds noble to help the witness data users, but the people that don’t offer this service probably have no interest in it. UNLESS they are talking about something personal to themselves. What would be the incentive to have out of band transactions? Who would need such a service? A large government that wants to go undetected? A military? A large corporation? Have people like you and I needed that service? I haven’t needed it. I just send on chain so I compete with everyone. Or is that a clue? Why wouldn’t anyone want to compete with high fees?
I am not trolling when I ask this question. What is the big deal with an unspendable UTXO? Isn’t a UTXO just a UTXO? As a matter of fact. Isn’t that similar to a double negative? An unspendable unspent transaction output. Please try to understand. Someone is trying to play us.
If I have a UTXO and I never ever send it anywhere isn’t that a (U-UTXO) unspendable unspent transaction output? Satoshi has UUTXO’s doesn’t he? It sounds technical to not want a U-UTXO, but in practice…… how do we know which UTXO are unspendable? When someone looses their keys with no backup isn’t that a U-UTXO? It’s just that no-one knows the UTXO is a U-UTXO. RIGHT?
Someone please tell me that I am off base.

This is a great write up by Bill. I hope that I can do it justice by replying and or asking questions.
#5: My Reply: Yes, I love this aspect. I get to choose the settings for the transactions that I want to go into. Something that I don’t get to do in the legacy world. They dictate everything.
#7: My Reply: Are the node runners are being asked to forgo the option to choose what size op return? Instead of the legacy system dictating policy, now it is the Bitcoin Core developers that tell us what the limit is??? Right???
#8: My Reply: It sounds like the Core Developers are choosing what is carried in the mempool by their wishes?
#9: My Reply: Can’t we just use RBF (replace by fee) instead of paying an accelerator? I have used rbf and it worked good. The fees do happen to go up. I don’t remember how much, but let’s say I send a transaction with 1sat/vB it went up to 5 or 6 sat/vB.
The entire purpose of the change is that people can send transactions that aren’t specifically BITCOIN value transactions…and make it cheaper? This seems like they are encouraging this behavior. I don’t care what people want to store on the chain, on my node, ect. If you pay for it then you deserve the block space. Where I do find it odd is that these Bitcoin Developers are going so far as to make non financial transactions cheaper AND creating a way for them to do it easier. This is where they loose me all together. Where is the motivation coming from to think of this elaborate plan? Who is funding and or pushing this? As a matter of fact…. They are risking changing the code and possibly breaking something for non bitcoin transactions? It doesn’t pass the smell test. I can smell their bullshit from here and it stinks like… like shit. (Excuse my French.)
To top it off with a cherry I watched the interview with Shinobi today and he or Peter said something along the lines of. It doesn’t matter anyway so we are just going to do it.
IF IT DOESN’T MATTER THEN WHY ARE YOU FKNG WITH IT. Yes coders will code and I am happy they have been there so long with bitcoin. I wonder who is the Bitcoin Core Jesus that thinks he invincible and we (the people) have no say?
#11: My Reply: I believe and I may be wrong but one of the reasons to run a FULL node is to know about all of the transactions. One of the reasons to run a PRUNED node is to know about all of the transactions with less block space taken on your hard drive. So this “should be fine” now, but in the future if a layer 2 needs it, then the PRUNED node will no longer be able to purge the op_return SO WE WILL HAVE TO CHANGE THE op_return back to how it is now.
Then you give the option back to us to prove your point that op_return with no limit isn’t a problem by saying… BUT “that would only affect node runners who wanted to support that L2.
You are telling me that both full and pruned nodes are working great with op_return now but you want to change it because it doesn’t matter anyhow but you will need to change it because some Layer 2 might require it in the future. DUDE, you already know this is coming. You have a smell to you Jameson, Peter, and Shinobi. Ya’ll are up to something and I want no parts of it!
#12: My Reply: When setting up a pruned node you can set the storage amount of space on your hard drive or ssd to go down to 1 or 2 GB at the minimum and all the way up to a full node. How much space would you save on this op_return? That is a real question. I bet the photo I took of my BTCLOCK today (because bitcoin hit 100k again today) is a lot larger than the so called “space saver from snatching away op_return.
#13: My Reply: Now this sounds like an honest push for deleting the op_return limit. If they would just say this then I would be fine. I would’ve still run Bitcoin Knots on all of my nodes, but I honor men that don’t try to hide to get their way. It’s sneaky and it makes me think they are trying to pull a fast one because we are not developers so we couldn’t possibly understand the complicated world of developing on bitcoin. Maybe I don’t understand what they have going on, but I guarantee you that I understand when there is a snake slithering around rattling his tail trying to pretend that he is here to give me a few satoshi.
I’m not sure if this is the reason for everyone that doesn’t want to store arbitrary data on their hard drives, but for my purposes I don’t think the “CORE issue” (see what I did there?) is actually storing the data. I believe the issue is that the block space is being taken up by non bitcoin transactions that also receive said block space cheaper or with a discount compared to a bitcoin transaction, then you have to add in the other factors like storing the arbitrary data which have accelerated the hard disk space needed by at least 7 to 10 years. I did the math about a year ago and don’t remember the actual numbers. The point to that is that The block size is compounding super super fast compared to not having those transactions. It doesn’t seem like a problem today, but in 20 years we will have at least 100 years worth of storage requirements because no thought nor action was taken seriously now. BUT THEY WANT TO FOCUS ON op_return. I’m O.J……… OK
#14: My Reply: Do you know anyone that has been affected by not having a complete view of the block fees? I have never ran into that and I send a ton of on chain transactions. I run nodes with mempool installed and I always receive the time that I expect. I may play with the minutia and put 1.17 sat/vB but I always get what I expect plus or minus 10 to 12 hours. If I am unsure then I triple the fee estimate and get into the next block.
#15: My Reply: I would like to know more about this. I don’t know anyone that has ran into a justice transaction yet. I hope it never happens to me because people are acting in good faith. My question is: who is the moderator for the justice transaction? I would think a lightning developer that has the know how and understands the fee estimator to get into a block within a timely matter. I would assume that if there is a justice transaction then the lightning node that is acting in bad faith isn’t getting the transaction and or satoshi back. Why is there such a rush to get a timely transaction sent?
#16: My Reply: Yes that is true, but can’t we just go into the Bitcoin Node configuration and set a higher memory limit for your personal mempool? I have mine set quite high. The default is somewhere in the 333 range? I believe mine is set to 1500. I want my node to keep and to know about as many transactions as there are out there. 1. because it sucks when your transaction has been sitting there with 2 sat/vB for 4 months because “arbitrary” transactions are filling the blocks and the fees are crazy high. (It wasn’t an important transaction so it was worth it to wait and not RBF.) The very first time this happened, I didn’t know that my transaction was dropped out of the collective mempool because I wasn’t running a node yet and didn’t have knowledge of this concept yet. Now, my node is set up so that most transactions will be held by my node and when fees drop to a level that the gossip network relays the transaction that has been sitting for a while it can be picked up by others and mined.
Plus I run Datum, Knots, create block templates and it is better to know about all potential transactions so you don’t have to ask the network if it meets consensus. This would take more time for your node to verify.
#17: My Reply: I am so glad that you saved this for last!!!!! We are currently saving in witness data no? How about we do what Satoshi did? Focus on not storing anything in witness data and store it in op_return, but let’s not forget that Satoshi also had a limit on op_return. So it is SETTLED! We are not storing anything in witness data, op_return stays with a limit. I knew your post was worth the read!!!!!!!
The ending and My Reply: My father always said “if you can’t explain something simply then you don’t truly understand it.” The Core Developers understand it, but only at their level. They can’t see why we have different points of view from them. It’s because we care about something different than they do. You want to write and push code. I want Bitcoin not to be touched every 6 months because you want to be looked at as proficient. We all know that you all are brilliant in your unique way. (That is not to put them down in any way.) But video games need coding to make them better bitcoin does not especially when everyone doesn’t agree. Can’t you see that you have the same thing that we have. A BLIND SPOT SOMEWHERE. The difference here is that we have Luke and Knots to go to. Where do the Bitcoin Core Developers run to?

The new Bitcoin Core update has the following language:
“Tests

I see that this was never mentioned.
Didn’t Jameson Lopp self admit that he broke testnet 3 with a “timewarp attack?”

I didn’t want to move away from Core about 6 months ago, but wanted to make block templates with Datum (which required Knots) so I moved 1 node to Knots. It has worked great plus I absolutely love all of the options that I get to choose from. It made me learn more about what goes into a block. For instance: “bare multisig” or bloom filter.”
Now that this fiasco is going on. There is no way that I am giving up my template control. So yesterday I moved my other 2 nodes to Knots. I got the best of both worlds though. The Core Logo remains, but the interior app is Knots.

I guess what I haven’t said is that “I don’t think the op return being deleted as an option for the Bitcoin Core user to define is productive.”
Why do they want to take away an option that I want to use to configure my node?

2025-05-07 10:46:30

- reply

Correct. Things will get into the blockchain. That is fine and even warranted. I want these things and people to store anything that they want there.
I honestly think the jpeg idea is a good one. I would probably add one to the blockchain if I knew how, but it isn’t worth doing the research.
At this moment I want to keep the choice to configure my mempools on my devices. Others will configure their mempool however they want it so that they can have their transactions added to the mempool then blockchain.
I am ok with storing that.
I don’t have their use case, so my bitcoin knots nodes will be configured differently.

2025-05-07 10:28:30

- reply

Well, yes that is the point. It must go into the mempool before it makes it into the block.
I can wait for the waiter to bring me out a surprise dish or I can order correctly from the menu.

@npub1qtv…7dze mining pool needs you to run at least 1 bitcoin machine with them. (It can be a 1th/s bitaxe, a 13th/s s9, a 95th/s s19, a or the more powerful 200th/s s21.) Everything helps!!!
@npub1k8s…6y88 sells the bitaxe at a great price and has support if you don’t know how to start it up. (Just make sure to point it to @npub1qtv…7dze.
If you aren’t using Ocean.xyz to mine… I can only assume that you don’t understand how great they are. Check em out if you don’t believe me.

If you look a gift horse in the mouth then you will loose some sats.
The correct course of action is to say “thank you and I will study another 1000 hours on bitcoin so that your time and sats spent on me wasn’t wasted.”
Plus your future family will thank you for being education driven and not ego driven.
Bitcoin is STILL the future. Ask me how I know!!!!

Are you interested in being paid in Bitcoin @npub1jut…f04x?
I’m sure that you have heard, you can have your direct deposit sent to cash app or strike. They convert your paycheck or a portion of it (you choose) to Bitcoin.

No, not because electricity is free. Because you are securing the network. Because you are contributing to the decentralization of bitcoin. Because you are making the network grow. Because you are putting in work (proof of work.) Because you are generating KYC free sats.
Didn’t your father ever tell you that nothing in life is free. Someone somewhere will have to pay for it. They might pay with time, with dollars, with mental ability, with physical ability, hell, they might even pay with their lives, but someone always pays the cost.
My question to you Logan… are you willing to pay for what you believe in?

I might have to walk back one of those statements. After thinking more on it.
Ocean might not take a 2% fee if you use “Bitcoin knots” and “Datum” to construct your own block template.

2024-11-22 00:38:34

- reply

Ocean has 2% fee. It used to be free, but I think that has sunset.
Luxor might’ve been the same 2 or 2.5.
I guess Luxor and Ocean are comparable on most levels.
Withdrawals are done on Luxor. Ocean doesn’t really have a withdrawal because the miner that finds the block will send every other miner their sats at the same time. Ocean only hold the sats if you don’t have many sats mined and it makes more sense to not send a small utxo.
Nicehash uses our hashing power to mine other coins not bitcoin, but pays us out in bitcoin. I haven’t used them in a while so they may have changed in the last couple of years.
Luxor and all other mining pools construct the block template. Which means they control what goes into the block if we mine it. They take custody of the block reward and we don’t get to see the split of the money. We just take their word for it. So we are paid according to their decision without a negotiation.
In the “Ocean” we get to decide what name we want to have displayed on the chain when we hit the block. (Only geeks really care about that, but I think it is super cool.) We also can add our personal transaction to the block we mine. (For cheap or free) The block rewards are paid from the coin base which means ocean doesn’t take custody. The payment goes to you directly so you get to take part if there is an increase in fees, there is an increase in your reward according to your contribution. You get to decide if you want spam and ordinals, runes etc.
So Ocean allows you to be a real bitcoin miner. A real bitcoin miner constructs block templates, and decides many other factors as well as gets paid according to the hash contribution.
.
ALL of the other pools rent your hash rate for a set fee and handles everything else.

Thanks for the reply and for all that you do.
It seems like Umbrel might not be ready for Knots and Datum. I installed Bitcoin Knots and ibd without issue. (Only 48 hours to sync.)
Electrs, lightning, and mempool all ask specifically for Bitcoin core instead of recognizing Knots on Umbrel. Tried to ssh and install. No luck.
Start 9 has no problems recognizing Knots and allowing that to be the only Bitcoin it needs to function correctly. Start 9 is my new go to for Bitcoin related nodes and Umbrel is for media, photos and files.

That’s good to hear. I’m a little skeptical of Knots. The download is taking forever.
That sounds so cool. Is there a spot to input your own header or message so that it is engraved on the chain when your miner hits the block?

I’m going to agree with Ivan on this one and give a little context. Trump is innocent on this one. I’ve never been to Haiti, but the Haitians I know that live in the Dominican Republic say the same thing. Some are all Haitian some are both. They all want to live outside of Haiti. They might not say it is a shithole, but I see none of us have planned a vacation there.
As far as going back to where you came from and fix it up. That is solid advice for anyone. Right? It has to be hard work. Work that people generally don’t volunteer for.
Have you seen Candace Owens podcast in the last week or two? She shows where Obama was not born in the United States, born in Kenya, was raised as Barry Soetoro son of Lola Soetoro (step dad) in Indonesia. Had a he that identified as a she as a babysitter or house maid.
He also used to hang out and fund many many many rappers. They used to always say his name is a good light in their songs. Appeared on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air show. Wrote books with Robert Kiyosaki. There are pictures of him with Don King, Mike Tyson….. my point is that none of us know him personally. I bet he is a lot different than we know.

Did Saylor say “crypto anarchists” or “Bitcoin anarchists?” I’m sure that he knows the difference.
I can’t wait until someone talks to him and he says “you are missing the point. Anyone (anarchist or not) if they don’t pay taxes to the government, they will come to take what they feel is theirs.”
Including your bitcoin. So pay your taxes and don’t give them a reason to come and look for you.

My reply wasn’t funny? It really wasn’t an attempt to roast you. You might be right about bitcoin.
I know absolutely nothing about Monero so you might be right about that too.
I saw your post on the #Bitcoin and thought you wanted a little engagement.
I apologize if it wasn’t an open discussion.
From what I know… the bitcoin address that I posted shouldn’t go anywhere. I took a real bitcoin address, deleted numbers and letters then typed them on this here. That is why all of the letters are capitalized. It won’t lead you anywhere. Theoretically it shouldn’t. So it was a joke because it won’t allow you to send anything o it.
The lightning address I copied from strike so that is real, but it doesn’t go to anything that I can take credit for.

I went to their website coinkite.com and it does not say “open source.”
In 2020 or 2021 I don’t know if it said open source then, but they did publish a manual on how to build your own cold card with firmware and hardware or something similar. (So at one point they didn’t mind giving out everything.) I hope this is correct but I heard someone say that the “passport wallet” took that Cold card diy manual and copied it then started selling their own wallet. So maybe Coinkite took steps to protect people from knowing how to break the Cold card (which I respect and support.) If any of this is incorrect please forgive me. It’s only hearsay.
In this video I have attached, NVK says just after 7:50 that the cold card “source code fully open verifiable.” Which signals that the code is open for anyone to view, check, and verify, but there might be something that is private and not shared. I would hope this is the secure element that holds your keys, codes, pins and access parameters. Since I “air gap” and don’t plug the cold card into a computer then there is no reason to not trust the secure element for my purposes. (Plus no one is calling them out like they are Pascal the Ledger CEO.)
This video was made just after Ledger had their tweet debacle that made a lot of people ditch ledger because they were changing.
1. Not open nor verifiable code.
2. They made an update that could send your private keys over the internet if you approved the send. (Not something I am willing to compromise on. No way no how! Not worth the risk.
I think this is a must watch video from begging to end.

Great question. I wouldn’t look at it as hiding.
I would think of it like I do my life. People can tell that you aren’t struggling, but they don’t need to know the details of everything. Examples: Your Bitcoin holdings and where you keep it. Is it in single sig or multi sig. Do you keep it at home in a vault or 3rd party custodian, the stocks and bonds you own, how many properties you control, different companies that you control, amount of cars, rv’s, quads etc that you hold title to or control. This is fine for a close friend or family MAYBE, but it might bring unwanted attention from the wrong people. So stack sats and stay humble.
