Good. OCEAN fills an important niche in Bitcoin mining. Hopefully without Luke weighing them down they can continue to serve that niche well.
The bad guy in the Disney Pocahontas movie (purple Gov. Ratcliffe) was...in reality...incredibly and almost comedically kind to the Native tribes! And they repaid that by brutally torturing him to death after capturing him in a ruse that was basically Virginia's October 7th!

It's kind of hilarious that they chose to use the first block in a difficulty adjustment period, basically guaranteeing the chain would never reach the next adjustment.
The use case for Flock plummets if you just put criminals in jail and keep them there. A guy arrested 39 times does not suggest that the lack of video evidence is the problem.

This is why all of us should be building SBRs, getting "unregistered suppressors" and sawing the barrels off shotguns continuously for the next 3 months. Remember - the NFA was modified by Congress once in the past because they fucked up and sold a bunch of surplus M1 Carbines that violated the original 18" barrel length. That's why it was 16" for rifles and 18" for shotguns. They couldn't possibly claw back all of those carbines, so they gave up. Make them give up, again. This time once and for all. We have the window; all we need is the will.

“The breach is limited due to Trezor’s strict 90-day data storage policy” Not good. But kudos to Trezor for limiting the damage with this policy.
We have some difficult news to share. Unfortunately, one of our shipping providers has experienced a data breach that exposed sensitive order data. This affects new customers in the US, UK, Sweden, Colombia, Brazil, Italy, and Portugal who received an order within the 90 days prior to August 8th, 2026. The data exposed: - Full names - Shipping addresses - Phone numbers - Email addresses The incident affects 11,742 customers with full exposure (name, email, phone number, shipping address) and 1,947 customers with partial exposure (name, city, email). The breach is limited due to Trezor’s strict 90-day data storage policy (we were also able to negotiate the same terms with fulfillment partners, who follow the same policy). All affected customers have been contacted separately by email. Our systems and devices remain secure, but affected customers could experience an increase in phishing attempts. NEVER enter your wallet backup on a website or share it with anyone, and only check for updates on official Trezor channels. We are deeply sorry to the community and those affected. We are investigating this situation and will post updates on our blog:

The best inscription of all time, powered by @MARA Slipstream. 😁
ORD TORCHES PRESENTS: THE BIP-110 BLOCKCHAIN We took the BIP-110 fork blocks and inscribed them byte-for-byte back onto Bitcoin. Roughnecks managed one more act of glorious futility and snuck in blocks #3# & #4# after 3 days.

“We can’t share the full details right now, but it’s clear that dark forces are working against us.” You mean, market forces?
GM Roughnecks! As many of you have noticed, our hashrate has dropped sharply over the past few hours. We can’t share the full details right now, but it’s clear that dark forces are working against us. We know our efforts threaten powerful figures and we’ve never deluded ourselves about that. We’ve painted a target on ourselves. We aren't phased by this. We’re working to restore mining on the stalled Bitcoin-SHA256 chain and will keep at it until the planned switch to BLAKE2b proof-of-work is ready. More updates soon

Human Rights Watch: Ukrainians, your human right is to remain defenseless and die. Please donate to our organization if you need more valuable advice like that.
The UK has a comprehensive network of CCTV cameras that did not stop the mass rape of white women but was used to track down every man that protested those rapes Why would it be different here? Every time I bring this up the proponents of Flock cameras have no answers

@peterktodd @HRF Navalny used to have a blog (Livejournal I guess?) in 2000s before gaining traction. The amount of vitriol he had towards Ukrainians, Georgians (he used Russian word for "rodents" as an ethnic slur) or anyone non-Russian is staggering. That's a Russian liberal for you I guess

This is unbelievable and awesome! Has the government finally realized the gross harm that comes from centralized identity databases? Or is there a sinister reason for this? I am just baffled to see even an inch of reversal of policy from the non constitutional surveillance state.

What does the path to consensus look like for BIP54 - the Great Consensus Cleanup? @peterktodd discusses a "miner-activated soft fork" approach.
Bitcoin's @HRF has made an enormous mistake platforming Navalny. A big part of Navalny's "anti-corruption" drive was fighting military procurement corruption, as late as 2018, long after the war started: he was literally making Russia's _more_ effective at killing innocent Ukrainians. And other people in his organization kept up that fight even after he was imprisoned in 2021. Hell, Ukraine's SBU, the counter intelligence agency, has found evidence that pro-Russian oligarchs were funding Navalny. Westerners support Navalny because we're idiots. He's ultimately no different than Prigozhin: anti-Putin, because he wanted to be in charge.

I think for Westerners, they think of things through their own lens of humanity, compassion and stuff. So when you think of an opposition in fascist dictatorship fighting anti-humane war, you naturally think they oppose it because they war is bad and they want it to stop. But in fact, they oppose how uneffective current war management is - and they hope to be in power to kill Ukrainians more effectively. Literally Navalny team in a nuttshell.

You know who's happy about this? Shein, Temu and Amazon as the EU essentially killed the last of their competitors with a regulation. @vonderleyen just fucking resign.

Grok thinks Germany spends an average of €250k/year per institutionalized violent psychiatric patient. He's 31 years old. So he'll probably live another ~44 years. 44 × €250,000 = €11,000,000 The average German worker pays ~€1 million in taxes in a lifetime. Execute him.

🚨BREAKING: A German court has ruled that the Iraqi migrant who pushed a 16-year-old Ukrainian refugee in front of a freight train will serve no prison time. Liana K. fled Mariupol with her family in 2022 and was living in Germany. On August 11, 2025, while walking home and speaking on the phone with her grandfather, she was shoved onto the tracks at Friedland station. The train struck her and she died from her injuries. Her grandfather heard her scream before the line went silent. Police initially treated the death as a possible accident or suicide. DNA evidence later recovered from her shoulder showed she had been pushed from behind by 31-year-old Muhammad A., an Iraqi national whose asylum claim had been rejected and who was under an enforceable deportation order that was never carried out. Despite clear evidence that he deliberately pushed her into the path of the train, the Göttingen court found him not criminally responsible due to paranoid schizophrenia. Instead of prison, he has been ordered into indefinite psychiatric detention at taxpayer expense. Authorities had multiple opportunities to remove him from the country before the attack. Those opportunities were not taken. Liana is dead as a result.

tl;dr: @lukedashjr decided to use a testnet4 block hash as the random beacon to pick BIP-110-chain's new PoW function. An absolutely batshit decision. It's clearly possible to manipulate that by just mining blocks with the right hash. Mining a testnet4 block has a trivial cost. So mining one with a specific last byte in the block hash – thus forcing a particular PoW choice – also has a trivial cost. When Zcash did something similar for a trusted setup, they picked a Bitcoin block in the future, and they specified that the block hash would in turn be re-hashed 2⁴² times¹ to ensure that absolutely no-one could possibly pick the value in advance (that's a 2-3 weeks of sequential computation). There's two possibilities here: 1) Luke is incompetent. 2) Luke is malicious, and is trying to pick a specific PoW. The possibilities are not exclusive. 1)
