By default OrangeLab runs standard version of Knots (or Core), not the custom one. <br/>One might argue that promoting protocol change to increase OPRETURN from storing hashes to storing data is shitforking 😉<br/>Node runners have an incentive to keep things light on resources, both storage and bandwidth. It&#39;s a matter of negotiating how far the validation rules should go. In the end it&#39;s up to node operators to decide what a valid block is. You&#39;re welcome to run any image and version, I&#39;m just making it easier to do regardless of what you decide. <br/><br/> 2026-02-27T04:33:44Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2k7w79xepenfl8k0wa0sla86mgnaljxlfsqqx5sp83nqvs26g7zqzyp6dcsauspv63x22cf6zc8nsks68ejwpq07hn638ju6utzgfw2t9ztnr4dh Updated instructions for running latest BIP-110 v0.3.

It felt safe and the paved roads were better then I expected, except a few that had the wrong classification on maps. Off road can get rough here, especially when it rains.<br/><br/>Bitcoin Lightning wallets work pretty good. You need to be online but after scanning the QR code the confirmation usually comes in 1-3 seconds. Transaction costs in the order of 1 cent.<br/><br/>Small businesses are generally fine accepting BTC but you still need petrodollar or card to get gas for example.<br/>Paid with sats for accommodation (@el_xalli), motorcycle rental (30.000 sats, ~$20 per day), food etc.<br/><br/>It felt weird spending and not HODLing 😉 and it will get even weirder when I have to report all of this on tax return in another country. Things would be so much easier if the rest of the world would treat it as currency as well...<br/><br/>#bitcoinbeach #elsalvador #elsalvador🇸🇻 #bitcoinlightning #motoadventure #motorcyclelife #bitcoinelsalvador<br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/ee79d9f0546a2860cc2d553de0d61728d4c373f03c766b01edfbbc0b26fbdf02.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/264e1ab57ec39d5dc776fa3915eb360e6d07ac2283d3ab806bea9371f265bda3.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/afb89105c14a4b83b57cb9575e70e011bd30f326e3570704fbe16365f88f00e7.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/ec393e7feff3e07c38dc4182cefa867db373144f54b5a87478e77b58f762906a.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/e0193e6d175ad44d2e6c64758434cb6b90e999a0863c662d7aea31cfbccd7aff.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/6cc7bcfd64c7121c36fd68f13937588580bcdd38c01eeff5e8f6469c8df2947f.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/37a66ce53c6a0f04fd2ed89723c9d27761724e1b668ea629cb652374b3c36a3d.jpg"> 2024-06-21T05:10:56Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqst6j4h8cnjw6wf6pw3jgtjlywcrxt7d55ckdryy9tahtg43vltvnszyp6dcsauspv63x22cf6zc8nsks68ejwpq07hn638ju6utzgfw2t9zta6f9l Photos from recent stay in Colombia. Medellin has so many cool restaurants and rooftop bars. Riding around the country and all the off road routes was spectacular, I&#39;ll definitely be back at some point.<br/>Riding through Medellin was...interesting, particularly through the neighborhoods I should apparently not be riding at all 😉 Well hey, at least I made a lot people smile haha (wtf is this gringo doing in our hood? 😅). Some of the streets were crazy steep, I had to lie down on the bike as the front wheel was going up.<br/><br/>Thanks to @enrique.rgx, @adrenalineaddictsmoto, @nakedphillyman, @alanhara and @sebastianckw for riding with me.

It&#39;s warm during the day but there is a lot of fog and rain at higher altitudes. Makes for great rainbows when driving up and down 🙂 Watch out for lost cows, shit gets spooky in the foggy highlands...<br/>Got a few sunny days but there is much more to see. One could pretty much hike a different trail every weekend of the year!<br/><br/>In summer weather is more predictable but there are more people visiting.<br/>Should not be a problem with a bike, especially when the car parking rules seem to be to park wherever as long as the car doesn&#39;t block the road, inside old tunnels is fine too...<br/><br/>The photos are from north side of the island. Some sharp turns on the way there, maybe it&#39;s better I couldn&#39;t see farther than 30m with all the cliffs 😅 Definitely have to come back in summer.<br/><br/>Note on driving on highways, there is no space to add extra lanes so don&#39;t be surprised with the short exits and entry lanes. Luckily the drivers here are generally good at reading the road.<br/><br/>#madeiraisland #madeira #travel #travelphotography #roadtrip #winter #rainbow<br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/acfecd9d071fbfb86e2027fcdbdd7ae7d7471c8cd9c13e7e19c1fcfe5af3744e.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/0cfa143def4f740959a0620833d2816754ff6a71c5f9f9d332e9c60202abf7fc.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/f02b793abdd61ea9e77a4dc5b2dd245a524805895fc845ac2841342a18ca86e5.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/077df3a34e1c114b679529289a059b50d466658e02666d9560a341c7ebc85d11.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/3613f2ee47fc76898a1e535c872b17a35ff9e16847b603f008732e45fd9f9a2f.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/cc40fb35c1a21804c4de5d8eb03243405ba5f70074ba2d1ce1eb2ab12d015958.jpg"> 2024-01-22T03:03:58Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspsyjw657dr5fftec4an58dsn9kyne2rrrqjthlasekfhtznc55fgzyp6dcsauspv63x22cf6zc8nsks68ejwpq07hn638ju6utzgfw2t9zuz3pqa Madeira just made it to my favorite places in the world 👌I could totally retire here, if that&#39;s ever a thing.<br/>Very few straight roads, it&#39;s mostly twisties everywhere!<br/>The infrastructure is amazing, great roads, plenty of tunnels and bridges with amazing views. Lot of places to stop and enjoy the view, all free off course.<br/><br/>The best thing is you can just focus on the road instead of keeping the speed under artificially lowered limits meant for revenue generation. The speed signs are actually useful here.<br/>Yep, no speed traps, no police hiding around a corner, there are only some general cameras in cities but always clearly marked.<br/><br/>Makes me think the maturity of society these days is inversely proportional to amount of cameras spying on you...<br/><br/>If you want breakfast at 9am...well tough luck because the kitchens don&#39;t open until 11am or so. The locals are hanging out at the gas station coffee shop that&#39;s open earlier and just chatting and smoking cigarettes before going to work.<br/>Love their attitude, they got the priorities right 👍<br/><br/>#madeira #notonvacation #travel #islandlife #madeiraisland #portugal🇵🇹<br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/586898ba434778a06e3fc65e5ecb41fab36934b6b869133d911420528bbc3c23.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/97b9258c1e1ec5f9a199de886f11d43989895d8e58af388716d962285823d462.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/099a9c0137739daf6c5a5e7db6ffc874e1241cff6ac851c8b57413d1e8f08716.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/70d5b19e463a512347cf211be635f1bf78ad943162b1a63bb479aafe0ab43860.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/f86efa906292c6616877eddf56e0efff4ea96d94dcd90a38fd53661c7c959503.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/95140533f08484466557def0bfbfc2be7bd56de15e93711c9e72dcbde7029415.jpg"> 2024-01-21T03:48:46Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrk5fcdxkjsy7he6nrac43df53yz9jqlzjd227agt9we83ejzch0szyp6dcsauspv63x22cf6zc8nsks68ejwpq07hn638ju6utzgfw2t9za25w0u Photos from today&#39;s ride, plus a few others from Nicaragua.<br/>Rode close to the border with Costa Rica...you could tell by the occasional military trucks.<br/>The guy with a semiautomatic at the checkpoint took some convincing that I won&#39;t try to cross the border and seemed surprised that I want to ride there at all.<br/>The road was increasingly muddy with some river crossings.

That would be better for a winter adventure.<br/><br/>It got up to 44C. Motor starter did its job the 5th time I tried so that was a great outcome for not getting stuck in the desert.<br/><br/>Sequoia trees are huge and the interesting thing is they need forest fires to germinate.<br/><br/>It was very busy that weekend so parking was difficult. Most people just take a bus to drive around. It was so hot the bike stand was few centimeters in the asphalt after 30 min walk 😅<br/><br/>Driving back was a challenge! Tight turns and nowhere to overtake. Riding that slow in this heat was a nightmare, I was wondering how long till I pass out.<br/>Well it did kill the bike eventually and it started overheating. The last 50 miles took a while with all the breaks needed.<br/>In the end the rental company wasn&#39;t able to fix it so I got a new one.

Once we got to the border with Nepal it was so much warmer we could finally take off the thermal layers.<br/>The roads became so much worse though. It was the same route we rode to Tibet but this time with more water as it was raining the day before.<br/>I found it much easier this time with all the practice.<br/><br/>Still managed to drop the bike on the last day! 😭<br/>Hardly a road, just rocks sticking out so I was standing on the pegs to maintain balance.<br/>Then, when coming down a truck appeared on a turn so I instinctively squeezed front brake...very bad idea when off road riding.<br/>The front wheel locked and got stuck between the rocks.<br/>The protective layers definitely worked but mostly I was happy about the handlebars protectors. Without them my left hand would be in a very bad state even with the gloves.<br/><br/>Once I dropped it I realized my paniers were gone! It was so bumpy that I lost them few hundred meters earlier. Luckily another rider found them and put them on his bike 😅<br/><br/>We managed to get to our hotel before sunset, which was great as I can&#39;t imagine riding through the mountains with the crazy thunderstorms in the evening.

It blows my mind how people try to climb this thing. Even at the camp at 5200m it was exhausting to just climb stairs.<br/>People walking around with oxygen tanks instead of backpacks.<br/><br/>Just to give you a better picture of how challenging getting here was...we had two riders dropping out the day before.<br/>One with altitude sickness, after feeling dizzy and throwing up all night, had to be put on oxygen and driven to lower altitude.<br/>Another had a collision with oncoming car. Broken collarbone and two ribs but he was lucky and will recover just fine.<br/>There has been so many cars driving on wrong lane you just have to assume that. Not even when overtaking...just because.<br/>You&#39;d think it&#39;s sensible to give priority to more exposed vehicle but here if you ride a motorcycle and not a car it means you are poor and can&#39;t afford it so your life is less valuable. Particularly the fancy cars breaking the rules as they feel more important. I guess that&#39;s how the world works unfortunately but I&#39;ve never seen that being so explicit.<br/><br/>Anyway, most of us made it and it&#39;s been quite a highlight!<br/><br/>#motorcycle #motorcyclelife #tibet #mounteverest #travel #adventure<br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/f86d00dfc21caf5cc3fbb20217c0de7670682a875e896cfcd2e66b75425a8a7c.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/9076eb02121eb3db8c39cd46a4830b1d5a16254772e83f71b0c21060eef701a6.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/7cd9a8f468ab4fbf2607867e148499662570d0a2a06fd465daf94977e1e28272.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/ed395a5abf6f70a518fcc3dc941a0b6407eef0a4fdc47cbe2c2a61ad64bb2ee4.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/19cbcbd980e87b0697ef3033cda0cf642343cc4561826c59dc50666f2824a668.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/07613f0676be1c0ea1fccb305c6ab393414acf8c4fc4e1c87d968f7f774cf9cd.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/2ab21a725321c2573aea46309382acc7f2801a587bb71a51d1bea4b654e6b1a8.jpg"> <br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/7b0eda0adc9326002abf1f57cec1265d44071dfb46fb9e02ec73b3e43a98e8a2.jpg"> 2023-05-22T04:52:11Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqst79z6cmn2jvkkk2hexxnamrz9fstndveqsqvs5g9zu4j73zmu3nczyp6dcsauspv63x22cf6zc8nsks68ejwpq07hn638ju6utzgfw2t9zcxw64d Time to catch up with the stories, I&#39;ve been too busy having fun!<br/><br/>Riding from Shigatse to Mount Everest base camp and Rongbuk Monastery.<br/>Endless switchbacks, over 100 of them with some amazing views.<br/>Some of the turns were pretty tight and with gravel bits here and there.
