How does that make any sense?

2026-09-10 09:09:45 UTC

Mined bitcoins are unspendable for their first 100 blocks. There has been proposals to either delay spending them for 4375 blocks (~a month), or to zero the block subsidy for a month (so miners only get paid fees and nothing more).
The motive here is to deter a large batch of hashers who appear to only have profit as their motive, and are attacking Bitcoin's decentralization in the process.
No decisions are final, but you should join the discussion if you have an opinion:

blake2b_headline=8-30 NYPost Deride And Conquer

2026-08-29 02:36:20 UTC

PSA: Potential Bitcoin PoW change Sunday. SHA2 miners should stop mining Saturday.
- @nprofile…m9s8 29.4.1rc4 will be released tomorrow, setup for mainnet rehearsal. This locks-in the final SHA2 block.
- After NYPost updates their Sunday morning print online, I'll post the canonical blake2b_headline parameter.
- If things go perfectly, Knots 29.4.1 final will be released Sep 1 on schedule, keeping the Aug 30 blockchain.
- If there's any issues (unlikely at this point), we address them and reset to the last SHA2 block for rc5.
If you intend to mine from day 1, I recommend getting setup with testnet4 (rc3) _now_ so you're ready for mainnet on Sunday.

No, Bpedo is the same play. The only differences are 1) they don't agree with the fundamental purpose of BItcoin (at least Bcash was aligned in that!), and 2) they're attacking Bitcoin to suppress it.

I'm not going to try to convince you to want bitcoins. I'm just going to make Bitcoin so valuable that you decide you want it on your own.

2026-08-11 13:09:25 UTC

So here's the plan for selecting Bitcoin's new PoW algorithm:
Nobody knows the new algorithm right now, and nobody will until we all know at the same moment.
At 14:00 UTC August 11th, we will begin watching Bitcoin's Testnet4 chain for new blocks.
The very next block found, look at the block hash.
The last character will choose the new algorithm.
(Note that testnet4 blocks are typically timestamped wrong!)
As soon as I see that block, I will reveal the mapping showing which algorithm that character represents.
Throughout the last 24+ hours, the community has discussed and made a short list of candidate algorithms.
I compiled that list into a weighted (according to their suitability) set of options for the mapping list.
You can prove I didn't rig it, by SHA256 hashing the mapping text file.
It will match 71a7960874f3352f4ba600ce67bd6f8e96702565abea93021fa86349d99a45e8

~22 hours until signaling BIP110 becomes mandatory for Bitcoin miners.
Mining blocks without signaling will then forfeit all block rewards!

Quite a few people suggesting/using dice to mitigate the Coldcard vulnerability.
Note that common dice are not designed to be cryptographically secure.
If you are going to do this, you probably should buy precision casino dice. And even then, have another source of entropy.

Exactly. Validity is an important requirement. And nodes defined that. Which includes BIP110.

It was needed 8 months ago, and the problem IS critical.
BIP110 has consensus.

2026-07-22 20:36:34 UTC

I support BIP110 because Bitcoin is essential to the future of mankind and the last 8 months have proven it to be the best immediate solution to the critical injury inflicted by Core 30.

2026-07-20 21:15:58 UTC

On Saturday, a troll made a false "consensus failure" report about Bitcoin Knots.
To put it simply: if Core corrupts your data, Knots sometimes can't detect the corruption.
Since Core is late updating to BIP110, it can in some case corrupt the database after activation.
This is not a surprise nor a bug in Knots, much less a serious issue.
Core also won't detect it; nor have most previous softforks guarded against it (eg, Taproot did not).
The simple answer is: don't run software that corrupts your data.
The deficiency in Core that can cause this corruption is only a risk starting in August.
Upgrade to the latest Knots 29.3.knots20260508 before then.
On Sunday, another fake "bug" was claimed by Murch.
It's a complete fabrication. There is nothing to do.
In both cases, there was zero disclosure to the project at all (much less responsible disclosure) - this is clearly a bad faith FUD campaign and will probably continue.
If any real concerns were to surface, @nprofile…m9s8 would post an announcement.

The block size limit was never set in bitcoin.conf - maybe you mean the size of blocks you produce as a miner? Knots still has that.
Knots supports coin-age priority mining too. You do still need _some_ fee to get it relayed to miners, though.

2026-07-13 01:00:43 UTC

Removing rules is a hardfork.
That includes scheduled rules like subsidy halvings, and yes, even BIP110.
Rejecting BIP110 is a contentious hardfork attempt.
And unlike softforks, hardforks need consensus to succeed.
There is no consensus on rejecting BIP110.

Others have proposed that. But the witness discount was created for good reasons. I don't think a blunt removal is the right approach. Maybe some more thought to weight as a concept instead? The Knots Discord has a #future-softforks channel that would be perfect to begin discussion of "what next" after BIP110 is active.

2026-07-07 01:37:59 UTC

- reply

That being said, running older/Core nodes _does_ leave you insecure if miners attack the network.
So you should still upgrade ASAP.

2026-07-07 01:37:40 UTC

With respect to BIP110:
Knots 20260508: Yes
Old Knots: Yeah, but ask miners' permission
Core <=29: Yeah, but ask miners' permission
Core 30+: Okay, iff miners agree
LibreRelay: Okay, iff miners agree
Literally no node software actually *opposes* BIP110.

Scammers and bad actors have been claiming BIP110 was "dead on arrival" or otherwise failed from the first day Dathon Ohm published it.
It was fake news then, and it's fake news now.
BIP110 has consensus and will still succeed if we hold the line.

It does. But the main goal isn't to prevent spam, it's to prevent CSAM legal attacks against Bitcoin.

2026-07-03 18:46:50 UTC

BIP110 creates a rare opportunity for bitcoiners we should take advantage of:
Unlike most consensus changes, it is extremely simple: with only 5 modified lines of code and 72 added, across 5 source code files, we can explain it in a way anyone can understand.

That's not possible. Only invalid blocks will get reorg'd (and only to obsolete no-longer-full nodes). BIP-110 blocks will never be reorg'd (aside from the ordinary course of races)

2026-06-29 20:35:28 UTC

- reply

Just like everyone else, OCEAN must enforce the consensus rules of the network, but there is no official position on BIP-110 yet.
There is no reason to think profitability will be lower after IBP-110 activates. Even if someone throws together a Bcash-like counter-fork, BIP-110 will still have fixed the vulnerability to Bitcoin, so Bitcoin will logically also be worth more.
The only risk of reorg are purely invalid blocks. Upgraded miners and users are unaffected and not vulnerable to any such risks.

Core30 intentionally enabled attackers to force every Bitcoin user to distribute CSAM.
This is a fatal wound because nobody is going to be willing to use Bitcoin if it requires them to do that.
(Remember, Bitcoin only works if _most people_ are using full nodes.)
RDTS rejects/undos the changes Core30 made. It prevents the CSAM attack.
Rejecting RDTS requires creating a counter-fork like Bcash.
To oppose or reject RDTS is therefore an explicit action to enable people to force CSAM on Bitcoin.
Therefore, if someone actually tries to reject RDTS, the name of their fork is Bpedo.
