Always buy medical insurance wherever you go, even in Europe. The smallest accident can get you financially rekt in an instant.
If you’re travelling around Asia, an annual Multitrip policy covering the whole region can be much cheaper, probably €200 or less.
You choose a country of residence and need to return there once every 3 months. Then you can leave the next day and get a fresh/free 90 days of coverage. Rinse and repeat.
An $11,000 coverage limit is pretty low when you factor in serious accidents requiring medical evacuation, major surgery, or extended hospitalisation.

They ask for a bank guarantee (deposit) to participate in a digital nomad program? 🤔Doesn’t this ruin the whole point of being a digital nomad? Or is the program some form of government subsidy scam?

It doesn’t. Yet, the culture in SHA-256 Bitcoin seems laser-focused on everything except separating money from state.
I imagine many of these poor souls were expecting a big pump if this toilet paper act passed. Instead, they got a small dump. I mean, guys, it’s not 2021 anymore. You’ve had 5 years to realise that governments “helping” Bitcoin doesn’t necessarily mean number go up. On the contrary, it probably means number go down, with the added benefit of doxxing your identity, location, and data to scammers and gangsters ready to take all your hard-earned sats without notice.
SHA-256 Bitcoin can no longer separate money from state. You see it in the culture first. Later, you’ll see it in the price as well. If anything, the Clarity act no passing is a good thing because it upsets the stablecoin bros.

The top section shows the cost of renting the hashrate needed to mine 1 XBT. The red figure is the live spot price, so you can instantly compare whether it’s cheaper to mine or buy it. It also includes useful metrics like total network hashrate and the rental price of 1 TH per day.

The bottom section shows the current state of mining decentralisation. The inner circles represent mining pools and solo miners, while the outer circles show whether pool hashers use DATUM to build their own blocks and what percentage of the pool’s hashrate they represent.

Becoming an expert in a particular area makes you both more influential and more effective in that area. If you’re wondering why Luke Dashjr has become so influential, look at what he actually did: he took on software problems nobody else was working on and became the expert everyone had to turn to. Nothing is stopping you from following a similar path.

I’m not on Discord too. I’m in a different channel on Signal. People are talking about block subsidy maturity to be extended temporarily from 100 blocks /less than a day/ to about 45/120/180 days. Currently it’s just a proposal. If Alphapool doesn’t start fulfilling their promises, there’s a good chance one of these mitigation proposals to be implemented.

Apparently, Siacoin used to be worth about 100x more eight years ago. That means a huge pile of BLAKE2b-compatible ASICs were eventually left sitting on shelves, collecting dust.
Then Bitcoin (BLAKE2b) went live.
Suddenly, those Chinese miners discovered that their old bricks could be profitable again by mining Bitcoin. So they flooded our network looking to make a quick buck.
There was just one problem: they didn’t use tools to build their own block templates. They didn’t run their own nodes. They simply took the path of least resistance, because that’s considered common sense in virtually every shitcoin mining operation.
Imagine their confusion when they joined the party with AlphaPool on Stratum V1 and Bitcoiners immediately started pointing guns at them for attacking the network.
They were probably thinking: “WTF, guys? We’re just trying to mine. What the hell is wrong with you?”
And therein lies the problem: they didn’t understand what this chain was trying to achieve.
The entire point of Bitcoin BLAKE2b is to decentralise mining. So to Bitcoiners, thousands of machines arriving through a few Stratum V1 pools looked like an attack on a young and vulnerable network.
To the Sia miners, it was simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn obsolete hardware into an absurdly profitable mining operation.
Some YouTube channels were reporting ROI in HOURS.
Not years. Not months. Not weeks.
HOURS.
Classic Tower of Babel. Same network. Completely different mental models.
“If someone is pointing a loaded gun at your face, you don’t need to wait for them to pull the trigger before defending yourself.”
Fortunately, the situation is slowly starting to resolve.
The pool operators eventually understood the problem and put server-side caps in place, limiting how much of the network any individual pool can control. They’re also learning about DATUM, and one by one they’re starting to work on their own DATUM endpoints.
Now comes the harder part: educating the tidal wave of new miners about why they MUST build their own templates with their own nodes.
The language barrier is an obvious problem.
We need educators with a good command of Mandarin and Cantonese to step up and start educating these miners.
If you know such plebs, let me know. Or go directly to the Knots Discord and help get the message across.
I’m looking forward to working with our newfound wayward friends from China. But they need to learn, and learn fast, that this is Bitcoin.
We play by different rules.
We will try to educate them.
If education fails, we will expel them.
Make no mistake about our priorities.
We are separating money from the State.
We need no freeloaders.

NonKYC.io is the third exchange to list Bitcoin (BLAKE2b).
Unfortunately, they currently list us as Bitcoin BIP110, a name we have never used. This appears to be the result of fraudulent emails from an individual calling himself Nathan, who has been falsely representing himself as part of the “official Bitcoin BLAKE2b team.”
There is no official Bitcoin BLAKE2b team, and bitcoinbip110.org is not an official Bitcoin BLAKE2b website. Please treat information coming from this source with extreme caution.
More importantly, two of the three exchanges currently listing Bitcoin (BLAKE2b) have already adopted XBT.
We’d like NonKYC to correct the listing and follow the emerging standard by using XBT consistently across its spot market, API and market data.
If you’re on X, please tag @nonkyc_exchange under this post and ask them to correct the listing. If enough people bring this to their attention, we should be able to get the mistake cleared up.

There’s an aggressive attack happening on another front, likely carried out by Udi. Exchanges that have listed Bitcoin (BLAKE2b) are being contacted by someone impersonating the “official team” behind the project, while directing them to this fraudulent site:
https://bitcoinbip110.org
Be advised that this is a bad actor’s site and exercise caution if you choose to access it. I’d also encourage BLAKE2b Bitcoiners to spread the word and make sure potential exchanges know that these people are not affiliated with the project and are attempting to deceive them.
See their demands:

We convinced @npub10kj…kt0z. Now it’s time to bring AlphaPool on board.
If you have a direct contact with AlphaPool, please reach out to them and ask them to adopt DATUM. Point them to the benefits of decentralized block construction and encourage them to make the switch. Every pool that moves away from SV1 makes the network stronger.
Widespread DATUM adoption is ultimately what separates Bitcoin (BLAKE2b) from Bitcoin (SHA-256d).
No more broken Stratum V1 schemes. We either decentralize mining from the beginning, or eventually end up right back where we started.

2026-09-06 19:52:26 UTC

This is fantastic news: PyBlock, the largest mining pool on Bitcoin (BLAKE2b), has officially adopted DATUM.

It’s similar, but not quite. Bitcoin (BLAKE2b) is still connected to the old chain (SHA256) and transactions made on the old one get repeated on the new one. You need two wallets and two nodes to securely split the coins on the two chains if you intend to sell one of them.

GN anon, did you know Bitcoin (BLAKE2b) has re-adopted the original Bitcoin logo from 2010?
What I like about it is that it actually looks like a gold coin. Felt appropriate to return to it, since we’re on track to become a real cryptocurrency again, rather than a “digital asset/capital/collateral”, or whatever other BS the suits come up with.

The current one, still used by Poolcoin (SHA256), looks more like a MasterCard knockoff. Quite fiat if you ask me. Fits them like a glove, I guess.
