I had to transfer out about 20k sats via on chain transaction which sucked up a lot of my nostr zaps. Even 1-2k chunks did not work

Then why is none of that shared with users. We just get stuck sats in coinos. "We have a withdrawal feature, but it's probabilistic"

2026-09-03 16:44:50 UTC

This seems like a pretty fragile system if it requires manual monitoring. At least let people know 'if you want to withdraw X amount over lightning, it may/may not work'. Or provide visibility into current liquidity

2026-09-03 15:11:10 UTC

Scammers gonna scam. Damus auto-signs you up for a coinos wallet which seems great at first. You will receive zaps, but try sending those sats to a different wallet, and it really doesn't work for large amounts. I had to do this via on-chain transaction which cost weeks worth of zaps in fees. #nostr isn't failing because of the idea or the technology, the ruling class is just as corrupt as our government and the old bitcoin. So I think there will be an inevitable schism or split that is required for it to really thrive

Reading more into it, they invalidated a bunch of keys due to a data breach. But the question remains are these data breaches random or planned backdoors. I found out a while ago that transferring large amounts of sats via lightning out of coinos does not really work. So it's kind of like Hotel California, you can stay but not really leave

The bigger meaning behind Bitcoin #Blake2b is closing a broken loop on the world's energy supply. Energy should be recycled, but it's being siphoned off into dead pools. Miners should spend or give away their coins. Trading it for USD will result in death

Let's watch as they fade into irrelevance. I'm sure they'll throw a temper tantrum on the way

2026-08-28 04:46:16 UTC

It's amazing to me how much hate I've received for supporting Bitcoin #Blake2b. Let's take a look at the pathetic state of Bitcoin #SHA256 today:
-same number of nodes as in 2017
-mining is dominated by 5 big companies
-core devs are completely captured and appointing inexperienced stooges as maintainers
Is this what you're afraid of breaking up? We have nothing to lose. Bitcoin SHA256 is accomplishing none of the goals envisioned by Satoshi. Nobody is using it as uncensorable peer to peer electronic cash. The people controlling SHA256 are happy to see it as a decoration on a balance sheet. They're happy with their conferences and badges and social status. They see most people as stupid and unsophisticated. They've assumed power over one of the most powerful tools humanity has ever known, and only used it to stroke their egos.
What happened on August 8th was maybe the greatest purifying event in the history of Bitcoin. It separated the people happy with Bitcoin in its failed state from those who are willing to work to fulfill its vision. It's people like me who have put in the time and effort to learn how to run a node and miner who will write history, while those who are comfortable sitting back and criticizing while not actually doing anything will end up in its ash heap.
Go ahead and attack me. Show the world how out of touch and complacent you are. Those who believe will be ready September 1.

Decentralized technology doesn't do much good without underlying social cohesion in the communities using it. Otherwise you're just connecting to servers run by people you'll never meet, which isn't that different from what we already have. Fortunately #cochiseCounty already has a lot of cohesion in the opt out building community 😀

2026-08-27 16:41:45 UTC

#nostr is optimized for community use. If everyone connects to one locally run relay, apps only have to worry about one data source, which means faster load times and fewer missed messages. Maybe there are regional or global relays too, but most communication happens among people who see each other in person regularly. This is the reality with decentralized technologies, and how I see society organized in the future.

It's fitting that math, something that exists only in our minds, will be one of our main tools for liberation. We aren't as much physically oppressed as we are mentally. Our physical circumstances don't need to change as much as how we interact with each other - direct communications and transactions without intermediaries taking an arbitrary cut. Cryptography makes this possible, and it's really up to us when to start using this tool.
#nevent1q…v98y

Cryptography works because 2+2 =4. There is nothing the government or any institution can do to change that, no matter how powerful they get. That is why we will win

It can't undo the spam that is already saved on the blockchain, but it is trying to limit that going forward so that regular people can continue to run nodes. The bigger the blockchain gets, the more expensive it gets to run a node.

The real situation is 25% of node operators have no power. But incestuous core devs who pushed through an overwhelmingly unpopular change have power.

If you don't see the rot and corruption in Bitcoin Core, you are just not paying attention. This is not about vilifying individual people, but it is shocking that someone went from an alt coiner ready to give up on 'blockchain', to a bitcoin core maintainer in just a couple years. And it seems obvious to me this person was not promoted because of their dedication and history with Bitcoin.
I participated in the Chaincode Labs BOSS challenge earlier this year, which is run by Adam Jonas, who is featured prominently in this video. While the program was free and I learned a lot, it left a bad taste in my mouth. They refused to explain the criteria to advance to the second round, then simply cut off access at an unannounced time for those who didn't make it.
I left feeling they are looking for devs who will jump the highest when they tell them to, and dangling grants in front of them to keep them in the game. They are turning bitcoin into a career path instead of a tool that can free humanity. It seems to me Core has become another corporation that can be easily controlled, with its employees motivated by material gain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy8pVqxAGiI

I'm way more attracted by the 'bitcoin is money' philosophy and active energy of the bip 110 supporters so am following that path for now. Core seems on a path of passive acquiescence to many features not central to bitcoin's mission as money, and I don't see how that will change

2026-08-12 03:53:25 UTC

- reply

Nice, I was convinced when I saw the popular opposition to the change on Github, and philosophically I am in favor of bitcoin remaining just money without all the extra features. It's been apparent for a while mining centralization is an issue, and I don't know how a new chain would fix that, but for the moment a new coin with a 'bitcoin is money' philosophy is more attractive to me than the core chain https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32359

2026-08-11 15:10:50 UTC

To all the #bip110 supporters currently being mocked and ridiculed: this is a necessary part of the process. The new coin needs to be built by a small, dedicated group of people. Those who are too attached to their egos or BTC balance will be unable to participate

It would be perfect if the new coin is so toxic that exchanges and businesses refuse to accept it. That would force its supporters to build a new economy without relying on any existing institutions of power, which would give it real strength and value.

Thank you Big Bitcoin for forcing all of the actually principled people into a corner, where will be forced to work with each other to come up with a coin that will ACTUALLY resonate with people. Nobody actually spends bitcoin, so it has no value. A coin that people spend will be the ACTUALLY valuable one, and that takes people not positions of power and privilege

Freshly roasted mesquite beans 😋 Benefits of mesquite:
-grows like a weed even in this arid environment
-doesn’t need additional irrigation, but benefits from rainwater-harvesting earthworks
-naturally very tasty and slightly sweet
-grown on my property, I didn’t need a car or delivery to get it here
-great substitute or addition to coffee
The raw beans can also be ground into a flour which requires a more serious grinder, but I hope to do this on a big scale one day. My long term dream was to grow my own food and become self sufficient, so this has been my first taste of that and felt very fulfilling and healing 😌
