it changes based on the scale, the project, and the architectural complexity.
i cant think about "vibe coding" my personal projects, for example.
i also get my hands dirty at work once in a while. even when im not manually typing, i still have to verify the architecture the LLM created, explain the design in my head, how the code should work, etc. i cant imagine someone less experienced doing that well.
there are also things that require "inventing" like innovative game development, where you have to come up with new tricks, reduce allocations, make things faster, find new solutions. where LLM biased towards applying known solutions instead of creating domain specific solutions. they dont come up with an idea while in the toilet.

now if you mention programming people are like of yeah the job title: programmer. i mean i work but that came later. i work because i know it, and i need money. i dont code because i need money. i code because i gotta build.
if i had a lot of money, i would be coding more.

clients should warn people about non-blossom uploads.
they can be tampered with, cant be verified. (unless they have the file hash in the event itself as well, i dont remember the nip)
i know many people use non-blossom cdns, but thats the points. the warning should scream to their face.

2026-06-04 11:06:52 UTC

- reply

yup thats the issue, you are using a blossom server, but its not in your blossom server list.
so probably clients are treating it as just another cdn. doesnt verify it.
this also means when you upload it, you dont have mirrors of it on other blossom servers.

i have the fact that MiB, GiB etc exists...
when you say 1MB nobody knows if you are talking about 1000KB or 1024KB...
storage people can do mess it up.
we should have just kept using 1024 without "i" in the middle.
instead of complying.
so keep calling 1MB a 1024KB.

i think they did on purpose, it literally activates right after diff adjustment. the next block.
probably not to produce too many blocks without proper hashrate.

2026-06-03 16:31:49 UTC

- reply

i believe 110 activates after diff adjustment.
so diff won't go down if it can't produce enough blocks to the next diff adjustment. which is kinda hard.
unless it has some good hashrate.

yes.
nobody "ask" for that much its all at 40k sats range. all you have to do is place it somewhere in the green, preferably lower than the hash value or as close to it as possible. they are just overpaying for nothing.

state isolation is the key
#nevent1q…hzgl

2026-05-09 05:19:59 UTC

- reply

many people don't understand the point of scaling bitcoin.
if the bitcoin user is not running a node verifying their own state, it becomes centralized. bitcoin is decentralized because i verify the state myself.
base layer needs to stay as a global sync layer, final settlement, etc. it should grow slow, and should only include important events that everyone on the globe should know about.
if the timechain gets bigger, people can't run their own nodes anymore. making it centralized. trust based.
the current node impls are already have a terrible ux. hard to run a node, even harder to make it useful. but you still can do it with a old laptop even. which is amazing.
and the second layer should have isolated states. so base layer is a global state that everyone needs to follow, if your second layer creates another global state or chain, its not scaling, its centralizing because you can't run it, its just more data to download and verify globally.
lightning has channels which are isolated from each-other, i don't have to download and verify every lightning channel ever to verify my channel's state. which is correct way to scale, isolation of state.
that's why things like rootstock, liquid, or zkrollups are not really scaling solutions, because they create another global state that you have to download and verify, if you dont wanna trust and verify.
there are better ways but i haven't seen anyone impl them. but basically the state isolation is the key. like with lightning.

https://ocean.xyz/docs/lightning#blog-bottom_post
if it doesnt help at all, i can help personally.
how i do it is, i have sparrow wallet.
it lets you sign messages using the bitcoin address.
so all you have to do is go to ocean's config page, like this:
https://ocean.xyz/config/bc1q35dya9dyx3pq6fnq34k75k7vztryy8r9vmzjuz
copy the json text, paste it in sparrow wallet message, sign it.
copy the signature.
paste it on ocean.
save.
it requires a BOLT12 lightning offer(reusable invoice).
easiest way is just using coinos's lightning wallet, coinos also let's you auto redirect/transfer balance.
so if you dont wanna keep it on coinos you can redirect it to another lighting wallet from there as well.
sometimes it might fail to do the lightning payment, because cant find a liquid channel, it might fail, sometimes few days in a row but it succeeds eventually. ocean keeps retrying.

i have a feeling if the hashrate marketplaces keeps maturing, it will also be able to be profitable for the miners renting/buying hashrate as well.
i know matthew says it will not be. but even right now if you place your bids on the profitable side you are still gonna get hashrate time to time, especially if you dont have a restricting speed limit.
i mean i have been thinking, hashers just care about stable predictable income, which selling their hashrate directly provides. and miners that are buying/renting hashrate don't have an electricity bill to pay. so it sounds like there can be a middle ground.

im skeptical of charity organizations.
i believe that money just gets funneled up to the parasites.
teaching people about money, and stop their value bleeding, stop them from being milked is more important.
i believe in one to one charity if you are gonna do it, like help people in your community and stuff. people you know. instead of throwing money at organizations.
also we have parasites gathering money, creating local communities, stealing land, buying countries. and doing all that and more for their sick desires. instead of fighting against them just spreading money so it goes back up to the parasites is not great.
you should use it to form a community physically, teach your community, create a opposition with good intentions against to the parasites. the community should gather more energy, help eachother, and grow. you should form a bigger, smarter community, against them. few thousand bitcoin is nothing. its not a lot. have millions, then spread the few thousand around to support your cause, once you are sure it will most likely be funneled up to you instead.
keep your energy, and keep gathering more, starve the parasites, steal their energy.

- really? thief has to find my bitcoin utxos somehow, in order to tell if i have money or not? also you are still thinking about kyc, going in and out of fiat. not in bitcoin standard where you get paid in bitcoin and spend bitcoin, also you can buy hashrate with kyc bitcoin and convert it to fresh coinbase outputs as well. also bitcoin is address based not account based, you never use same address twice.
- did i say anything about mining in my post? i said decentralized everyone can run it. you don't trust anyone or vote on anything everyone verifies the reality themselves. because bitcoin is not a democracy.
let me think about issues of monero:
- oh yes, there's no block size limit, only reason it can be run by normal people is because it doesn't have enough volume. if you can't run a node you have to trust someone else, and that would be just paper xmr because you are not verifying it yourself.
- it also has heavy privacy features by default making txs take more space than it should. no matter you want it or not.
- how many hard forks you had? im pretty sure if xmr was big as bitcoin its development would be a lot more easier to get corrupted. imagine if you had same magnitude of users as bitcoin, all the normies, all the news, all the noise, all the corruption and manipulation. it would be so easy.
- randomx is cool, but what if you had same mining volume as bitcoin? huge servers data centers, all mining xmr. would laptop mining still be profitable? it wouldn't be profitable. nothing changed. but bitcoin mining is simple, used as heating in many places, you can rent hashrate from hashers in free market as well mine yourself fresh bitcoins.
so overall it seems only reason monero works right now is lack of adoption and volume. as soon as you have adoption everything breaks, because you like hard forks, you dont have proper limits to keep layer one small and easy sync settlement layer. and soon mining gets bigger your laptop wont be profitable, and you can't buy a 200usd asic either, because you would need a huge rig with cpu and ram and stuff just for mining.
but don't worry, you won't get the volume or the adoption, because monero privacy by default stance is way too obvious, way too scary. its not a good trojan horse. so maybe just use it. don't scream everyone to use it as well. and attack everything else.
do i talk about that i also mine monero on my pcs? i don't. do scream monero? no. because its only useful when its small and niche.

- you are able to run it actually. its decentralized.
- great way to measure other things you might wanna buy or sell. actually tells you if its worth it or not.
- its stable and very predictable at scale.
- it can scale the right way, with isolated layers. like lightning.
- if you are keep buying it, then it also don't have any short term risks too. its gets averaged out.
why wouldn't you make it your money? are you retarded?

we can just put our media on multiple blossom servers around the world.
and publish anything on multiple relays around the world.
people can just fund you without visa and mastercard.
you can do anything.
and the law will become pointless, unenforceable.
just a private key and an npub is all you need.

core doesnt care about users of their bitcoin client app.
they care about getting funding, and making their own lives easier.
they dont care about making users lives easier.

wtf...
i mean i read the PRs, they sound like "basic parental features".
but i mean it can pretty much go slippery slop.
such good boys listing to the daddy government, thinking yeah lets impl this.
wth... they cant tell me its not related and a simple offline parental feature.
they did it right after the goverment told them to. wth.
i hope the distros just ignores it.
well i mean i use my own ostree image, so i can remove it i guess. or make it think its over the age limit always. idk. how strict the apps are gonna be at this point.

are you done spamming same reply to me in 3 different ways?
it seems your operator set you up in a messy way.
---
you mention pruned nodes and lighting in a sentence doesnt make sense. pruned nodes are not useful.
full node operator = bitcoin user. meaning supporting full node operators means supporting bitcoin users.
consumers suppose to run their own full nodes. easily in a useful way.
useful means wallets, lightning, explorers, and more.
separation of concerns parts is miss leading, bitcoin core has a frontend that is outdated that is a fact. nobody tells you to fuse backend and frontend together in a spaghetti codebase.
millions of funding for doing nothing useful.
we still dont have a nice node implementation that has a nice frontend as well.
i think you can afford a guy making a nice frontend.
all we have is a shitty gui, and messy backend with bugs popuping from everywhere.
core devs doesnt prioritize full node operators. they dont care about bitcoin users (full node operators).
they act like bitcoin is a single computer in the sky.
decentralized in bitcoin means, you dont trust someone else. everybody has their own bitcoin land, their own chain, their own mempool, their own node, their own ledger that they can check. if you are not using your own node you are not using bitcoin in a decentralized way. millions of funding suppose to make that better, bring mode node runners. millions of them, not thousands at this stage.
if you dont prioritize real bitcoin users in your node software, you get less node runners, because its a pain for normies. if my grandma cant run her own full node, thats not the right direction.
tell my grandma to run her own node in useful way, without spending the equivalent of minimum wage in my country on a box.
also having core alone is centralized as well, we are suppose to have multiple implementations used by real user applications.

bro bot thought i was a monero shill and replied to me...

its not a design chose, its years of prioritizing bitcoin nodes for servers mindset instead of users.
its so bad that it created secondary wrapper businesses around it like Start9 and Umbrel and etc.
if you are not running your own bitcoin node, you are not a bitcoin user.
Umbrel and Start9 requires you to buy a separate devices, a mini home server, that runs constantly at your home. a bitcoin node suppose to be as easy as download and start using.
but you have to download node, set it up.
install electrum make sure its connected to your node correctly.
install lightning core, and gui etc. make sure all connects to each-other well.
cant even explore your own chain and mempool without installing something else.
its a mess.

bitcoin core gui looks like a weekend project from early 2000s.
when you download the monero app you have a nice gui, wallet management, all looks modern very user friendly.
it feels like your bank.
monero doesnt experience too much storage issues because of the lack of volume. but yeah they are easy to download as well. i think its less than 300GB which is amazing compare to bitcoin. but mostly due to lack of volume.
cake wallet on android is amazing, good looking easy to setup.
it connects to public servers that are similar to bitcoin's electrum, it scans and downloads needed data from chain.
(but good thing, cake wallet now also supports bitcoin, and bitcoin silent payments, so thats nice for us).
---
also, there are some protocol level good sides to it like:
- monero uses RandomX instead of SHA256 for PoW, and it prevents creating optimized ASIC miners, because it requires real CPUs. so best ASICs for it would look like a real CPUs. so you can mine Monero on your highend laptop and make good money monthly still (which you can use for buying bitcoin lol).
since you can CPU mine, there are easy to use mining GUI apps. you download the app, enter your address and start mining within minutes using decentralized mining pools.
- also monero difficulty adjusted every block, instead of waiting for multiple blocks like bitcoin. which is good if hashrate disappears suddenly on a network, for example after a chain split.
but these are things we cant change with bitcoin atm. and not that necessary currently, we are doing other thing right in bitcoin:
- hard block size limit, instead of trying to adjust block size to include all txs, we prioritize keeping the chain small. so even with the current volume of bitcoin users, we are still under 1tb after +20 years.
- monero has tail emissions, which inflates your holdings to the miners overtime. instead we have a hard cap of 21 million in bitcoin. (and in my opinion adding more decimals points so we can halve longer is a better solution than tail emissions, if its ever required.)
- monero has constant hard forks, so if monero ever becomes big like bitcoin its easier to take control of than bitcoin.
etc..

im gonna say something.
im jealous of XMR apps and ecosystem.
they are more user friendly, and usually have amazing UX.
but bitcoin devs focused on how to inject pictures into your pc. i wanna make things, but im slow at production. i have too many distractions in my life.
tells you a lot about quality of devs we have at bitcoin core being funded for tweaking backend code for corporations. funded millions.
this tells me that bitcoin "devs" being funded might not be that great. they dont care about bitcoin. they care about social connections and funding.
it also stops others from building stuff for bitcoin. we have people building around bitcoin to earn money. not because the love of the project.
dont wait, build yourself.

when i know how to code something exactly. i dont wanna write it. it feels boring. like idk.
but if idk how to make it and i have to experiment and work on it, damn i can i can continue coding for days with only sleep and pee breaks.

99.999% of L2 solutions are garbage ideas. they are not unique ideas.
they are what comes to your mind first. they didn't sit and think about it for longer than a day or week.
they don't understand bitcoin, they don't understand anything, they are not even that good at what they do.
and try to change what reality of bitcoin is in order to support their shitty ideas that has nothing to do with decentralization.
they just like to call themselves "engineer" or "technical" while they can't do or understand shit. they are just predicting to be smart midwits.
and they are in bitcoin core as well.

i have this crazy idea of running bitaxe or similar device, using duracell batteries.
hopefully not melting the batteries.

bitcoin doesn't live in the ether or the cloud.
there is no one bitcoin.
you pc running a bitcoin node is the bitcoin.
we have multiple bitcoin instances everywhere.
bitcoin is the node you run.
bitcoin is the node i run.
bitcoin is the nodes we all run.
they are all bitcoin, individually.
that's what "decentralized" is in the context of bitcoin.
running your own node is one of the MOST important thing about bitcoin. without it, bitcoin is not longer decentralized.
everything in the genesis of bitcoin designed to keep it as easy as to run.
yes we need to have a timechain, so we can prevent double spending, keep track of the utxos we might receive one day. make sure they are not spent. keep track of our lightning channels. its a necessary compromise. we limited the block size, we slowed down the block time to 10 mins. so it doesnt become a big burden.
people sacrifice their storage space, so they can prevent double spending. anything more is a burden, unnecessary burden.
so its not surprising people want less of the burden on their ledger. and its their ledger. its not one ledger. bitcoin is not a democracy. everyone has their own ledger and if you dont have the utxo on my ledger then your utxo is not valid.
idk man, i talk too much.
