Quotes from "Fiat money inflation in France" written by Andrew Dickson White in 1896 and revised in 1933.
Lukecoin activates a new soft fork in few days (180-day coinbase maturity). They just don't give a fuck and fork on a day's notice.
You can see on below website any splits happening from miners not up to date with the latest orders:

Politics happens once decentralization is lost.
The divide is so funny to see... they rushed to implement 45 days coinbase rewards freeze but the end was at on exact block for all, not a rolling expiry like the 100 blocks on Bitcoin.
So now some of them are angry there is a 20k xbt "airdrop" and want to freeze for longer.
Shitcoiners tinkering with the rules just like ETH having to change rules again and again because past rules changes externalities.
They just try to hide all these rules are to manipulate price up. exactly like ETH people did by switching to PoS. They hated miners were selling coins.

RESEARCHERS CLAIM SERIOUS FLAWS IN TAILSCALE, A TOOL MANY BITCOINERS USE TO REACH THEIR NODES
A new report says users with approved access through Tailscale's built-in SSH can take root control of machines, and the attack can spread to other devices on the network.
If you run a node through Tailscale:
- Turn off Tailscale SSH
- Update when a patch ships
Tailscale has not yet responded.

Look at me! I am the real Dropbox now.
Announcing BitDropBox.
Just like Dropbox but fully onchain using the BPUB censorship resistant file protocol for Bitcoin and especially Blake2B chain (cheaper).
Will sync files with a folder, and restore everything with just the private key seed, all encrypted on-chain.

Libbitcoin is significantly faster validating the full chain provided by 10 peer connections over the p2p network than bitcoind just doing a local reindex of its already downloaded store. #libbitcoin# is coming.

Always assume your hardware wallet, your PC, your phone, the wallet software you use to create the tx are all compromised.
Imagine there's a camera watching you type shit on your keyboard or on your mobile.
Create a workflow to sign transactions with those attack vectors in mind.
Only the paranoid survive. ht @Rob1Ham

Still valid to this day.
Everyone's a scammer!
If you only want to buy bitcoins and store for long term, there's hundreds of wallets and backup products that are advertised to you. But if you don't plan to interact with your coins you don't need any. They're just after your money!
Use Tails OS!

Hardware wallets should just come disassembled and you put them together like IKEA furniture.
My friend @HeyTaiZen discovered this like 6 months ago, he called me about it back in August or early September and was complaining how @Ledger is ignoring his findings as he did his best to warn the company.
* I had no proof personally so going public on my end would have been a bit irresponsible.
To this day leger remains one of the least user friendly & irresponsible wallet companies that I have never recommended and never will!

@zndtoshi Which then did a HF by switching PoW, reactive to be ignored. Somehow they blamed miners even though it was clearly ignored by users in the market.
"BIP 110 was a UISF" -@zndtoshi (User Ignored Soft Fork)
@4moonsettler @stutxo BIP-448 is good to go to me. We’d like to signal for it once wider consensus is achieved.
Emperor Luke has released a UASF that freezes miner rewards on his chain to 45 days after maturity (100 blocks).
In practice their chain is not censorship resistant and coins can be frozen by social demand.
Very similar to Ethereum.

Only number 6 has the final say if all other failed.
The BIP110 saga has ended.
It took a lot of attention away from discussing potentially useful BIPs that could actually reach consensus.
Added three new BIP galaxies to for people to explore and post their stance on:
🔵 BIP54 – Consensus Cleanup
🟣 BIP448 – Covenants
🟡 BIP460 – Cross-Input Signature Aggregation
You can also now add a link to a Twitter post explaining your stance.

@GrassFedBitcoin @ocean_mining Invalidating most proof of work (be it by UASF or URSF) assumes you live in a different paradigm than Bitcoin.
Miners can never have monopoly.
You can always bring more hashrate to overpower any monopoly.
