Last Notes npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson If it's an attack, what does it aim to achieve with regard to capture or intentional destruction of bitcoin? npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson It's your moral duty to run a bitcoin node if you have the means to do so. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson More than happy to help! A lot of people have fallen for Core's outright lies, and it pains me to see so many people say with a straight face things like "it's censorship to not allow strangers to send 100 kb of data to your own personal computer". npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Well, by 'longest chain' I actually mean 'chain with the most proof of work behind it' npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Yeah it's a soft fork, meaning it is a tightening of rules. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Also you're right 'economic nodes' is meaningless propaganda npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson If there is a hardfork, it would be core forking, ie going: Ok, this other non-spam chain is just invalid to us - even if it gets longer than our chain at some future date. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Thank you for your rating. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Have you considered that the ones trying to force through changes that are unprecedented and that vast amounts of bitcoiners don't want may be the ones brainwashing you? npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson You have possessions left?!? 😉😂 npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson If you're running knots but not BIP-110, let me know why in the comments. I can't understand how someone can arrive at that posturing. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Praying this is the start of the bear market down to $10k 🤞🤞 npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Why are people selling me their sats so cheap? Sure I'll take em off your hands 😂 npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Now that bip-444 has been put out there, you should be able to tell that "We hate spam as much as you!" was a lie. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Bitcoin core30 is malware that tricks your computer into accepting and relaying 100 kb files of data. Incredibly reckless to run! Be careful out there folks npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson As of block 924,000 npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson See. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Knots adoption going parabolic. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Source: Clark Moody Dashboard. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson 1000 knots 29.1 nodes came online overnight. Combining both knots releases now adds up to more nodes than Core 29.0.0! npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson If you've never run a node before, simply take your beat up old laptop and: npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson For years we've told gold bugs that other non-monetary uses of gold are actually an impediment to it's function as money. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson I no longer have doors on my car. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Upgrading to Core 30 kills bitcoin. It's as simple as that. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson The coinbase insolvency blow up will be epic. No one's coming to save you. Protect yourself - you and only you are responsible for yourself. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson In case someone lied to you, bear markets will still be a thing in the future. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Would people benefit from me making small tutorials on server running, node running, and self sovereignty/privacy in general? npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson If you're not running your own node and asking it about your own transactions, you've never used bitcoin. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson The rate of block download during IBD once you get to around block 800k should be reason alone to filter OP_RETURN. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson What are some excuses you've heard made for not running a node? npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson The best way to orange pill your friends is to simply send them some bitcoin to a simple custodial lightning wallet that they can download on their phone, then 5 years later tell them to check the balance. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson No problem, I'm glad I was able to help!! npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Yes, since both your incoming and outgoing connections are over the tor network, your IP is hidden. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson I want to help as many people as possible get a node running npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Go and play with ethereum npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Anyone touting that nonsense is incredibly naive and would enjoy the shitcoin world far more than the bitcoin world. Go and play with little toys we're actually trying to obsolete the central bank over here. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Bitcoin core is malicious software that strips your rights to tune YOUR node how YOU like. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Those of us who have been here longer than a decade actially understand what our nodes are written to do. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Anyone apologising for or rationalizing spammers is either being paid by shitcoin scammers or is a naive cretin. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Stop apologising for people that are actively trying to destroy our one attempt at decentralised money and stating this as their intention. You are unimaginably naive. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Set up a local economy with your family and friends where you settle among each other with lightning. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson There are currently more than 21 million 'bitcoin'. Not on the blockchain, in people's various custodial wallets. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson The difficulty adjustment is the only metric that matters. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson You're still worrying about the price of dollars in bitcoin? Really? npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Yup 👍 npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Bitcoin is PEOPLE, not an autonomous network. That's why the only way to kill it is to alter the MINDS of the PEOPLE that defend it. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Spam fucktards are now resorting to character defamation as their argument for why we need spam relay. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson The UTXOs are definitely never going to be spent, known as 'provably unspendable', so can effectively be forgotten about by a pruned node. A full node would still store them on the other hand. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson From a 1 dimensional viewpoint, what you said is true. However both are still available whether you nuke the OP_RETURN filter or not. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Block 1,000,000 is well under 2 years away. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson No serious bitcoiner can be running bitcoin core. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Your daily reminder to run knots npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson The pressure is off. You no longer have to be a part time investor. You have good money. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Bitcoin is a nascent dialect of the language of money, spreading around the world like wildfire. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Thank you, good luck in yours brother 🤝 npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson I'm very suprised to hear it on Nostr of all places. There are no examples of monopolies ever existing without an authoritarian government structure. Looking forward to his rebuttle 👍 npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson False. A competitor can always copy a company's process and compete to make the product cheaper. The only thing preventing this are government decrees and government issued patents etc. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Friends don't let friends use a custodian. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson A monopoly cannot exist without coercive control; coercive control cannot be maintained without government. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson You know your normy friends who have ethereum and solana on coinbase? npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Yes 100% agree. If you're running core and not Knots, you are facilitating the monero-ization of bitcoin. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Nodes are the bosses. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Imagine listening to a bunch of screeching children and rainbow flag dickheads at bitcoin core over using your own fucking head 🤦♂️😂😂 npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Bitcoin Core flipping from one rationalization for spam to another and being debunked by Luke and Mechanic time and time again should tell you everything you need to know about what implementation to run. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson The US government are not buying bitcoin. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson FRIEND DON'T LET FRIENDS RUN CORE. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson How dare you not trust the experts!

They have no issue destroying the only workable money to lift the third world out of poverty and severly hamper wars worldwide jusy to make a quick million dollars for themselves. They are sick sick people. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson When Coretards try to argue with you, simply answer them: npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson You do realise no one's going to use Core 30 when it drops lmao. Core are so out of touch. Can't wait to wipe the smirk off of all these smug genius computer scientist devs faces npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Have you realised you are Core's little cuck subject? npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Patiently awaiting the next fake scare like covid to sell all my belongings for bitcoin... npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Ground yourself everyday without fail. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Yeah if you install knots and ensure it doesn't save to the same place as and wipe the current core files you have, you can transfer the blockchain data over. The file structure is the same, knots is 99.99% the same as core - just has additional toggles! npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson I can't wait for the shitcoins of this cycle ("Treasury companies") to fall like dominoes. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Could you tell me more about your set up? npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson https://youtu.be/FMZ_aqm2pQM?si=qk0N286Q8aSM4CHm npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Great! Beings hands on is the best way to learn 😃 npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Bitcoin knots is a node implementation. It allows users to configure their mempool policy 👍 npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson If somebody wants to run a node but it's not currently financially viable to them. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson If you're not paying for the product. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Why shouldn't you sell your bitcoin when hype is high to buy back lower? npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Bitcoin knots needs to 50% of the nodes yesterday. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Make your friend run a node. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Nostr is full of real bitcoiners. I feel my work might be required more elsewhere. Trouble is no normies will listen to my advice on becoming a sovereign individual. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Admit it, you're just here for number go up. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson If one satoshi is held custodially, there is NO 21 million cap. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson I know that a lot of you find this hard to hear. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson He is actively destroying the 21 million cap by using a custodian, meanwhile poisoning the culture by calling node runners 'paranoid crypto-anarchists'. I'm sorry but Saylor fanboys do not get bitcoin. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Michael Saylor is net negative for bitcoin. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson We need another wave of: npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson You are my enemy if you hold bitcoin with a custodian. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Beginners often perceive starting a node as more difficult than it actually is. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Use this weekend to change your core node to knots. The usability of layer 1 depends on it. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson If you're still running core you are a shitcoiner. Go and play with ethereum. npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson Love it when the work I do earns me more sats because high time preference cucks bought dollars with their bitcoin 😂😂😂😂😂 npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson You and me both brother! npub1rm7mszm7se8xslsvynx3rxlduqgs4slcza5zvp7zfkcur7snmzeq4l0zsp MonkBitcoinson But strategy keeps buying! How is price going down.
