1 year #Bitcoin onchain resumé of #Ordinals:
The trend of a faster growing blockchain I pointed out 1 year ago did not stop. Even tho according to some bitcoiners the ending of the hype would make it go back to normal.
In the past year we expirienced an increase of around ~91GB (Messured Feb.23 --> Feb.24) .
Before we had an stabil increase of ~65GB (Messured Feb.22 --> Feb.23).
[Source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/647523/worldwide-bitcoin-blockchain-size/ ]

Its clearly increased with the launch of ordinals in february 2023 and caused an additional ~27GB load per year. Thats an increase of 40% !!!
Funny rock pictures don't hurt anyone. So why does it matter?
Bitcoin's biggest asset is its decentralisation. Meaning that all users should be able to run their own fullnode and verify transactions them self. Not having to trust others.
However not everyone is able to run a big data centre like amazon. Some don't have enough money, others might have bad internet. Ideal would be that even in the most remote village in africa in an totalitarian state a poor guy can run a fullnode via tor.
But that only works on 2 conditions. 1) The totall size is not too big, so they can store it on drives which are accesable (lower end of size)and affordable. And 2) The incoming data is not bigger that the amount the can download per second.
Its easy to throw of the ones that have the worst conditions. But generally speaking every increase will throw off another lower layer of people, a level of decentralisation, with each increase. With 40% increase the ordinals protocoll however is no small increase.
We might see these results in ~4 years when nodes pass the 1TB (a common drive size). But maybe we won't even notize it since most private nodes run behind tor.
We can't really undo the activation, because lightning got so far. However we can standardize to prune Ordinal data. So we don't throw of new and existing fullnode runners.

I believe so. Never used them with bold's app.
But you can setup these cards on your own ln node. Completly uncustodial. Lnbits has many features suporting it.
You can also get these cards from the company: plebtag. They even have glowing laser eyes (LED's charged by NFC).

2024-06-14 12:35:36

sure. normal lightning tx. Via offline NFC cards (like eg by bold). Via bills (like eg icynote) or opendime. Via ecash. Via liquid.
etc...

Ethical #Bitcoin question:
If I would have generated purposely a badly secured private key, with Bitcoins on its corresponding adresses, how should I handle it? Not knowing if the coins were lost in the first place.
Take it and hand it back to a better secured adress (via signed OP_Return communication)? Ask for a security fee? Take it all if after 6 months if noone reacts?

With just one line of code you can start getting #lightning #bitcoin donations for your website.
Just add this to your header:
<meta name="lightning" content="lnurlp:YourLNadress@example.tips"/>
Everyone with a browser extention, eg @GetAlby, pouchin or tippin, can now send you sats.
Still many don't have it yet(/Or dont want it | fine as well): eg. JamsonLopp , @npub1tjk…s9w3, Darthcoin ...
Some allready have it added tho:

Or its making sure that the bitcoin community keeps growing organic.
So the community doesn't get diluted. And only self-taught bitcoin maxis join. Increasing the "survivalbility"/ "porportion of maxis" for hardforks.
Bitcoiners toxity acts as selfprotection.

I've been there and have good friends living in Michigan. And don't watch/follow CNN or FoxNews alot. Both are brainwashed political media.
Accesability is one important point. Yes, state terrorist are always able to bypass the law and are able to get a gun. But its about the average people that have range attacks, mental issues etc. that have extrem easy acces to guns. And since everyone then carries a gun even somewhat harmless situations escalate so insanly.
Guess why you have so many school shootings and killed people...
