Thank you for noticing this and your feedback @npub1f5p…wt3z and @npub1ney…jx6r . It inspired us to do a few updates:
1) We checked out our BTCPay server and fixed it, it should now be 0%/1-to-1, based on the price of the Kraken exchange (BTCPay recommended).
2) We’ve decided to give an automatic 5% discount on BTC purchases, effective immediately! Especially since we now accept other payments methods.
3) We will proactively go back and Zap (refund) the 10% difference to anyone that bought an account in the last 30days with BTC and update them via DM.
Thanks again for your feedback, we are always looking for improvements!
Thanks. Good to see. Though I think this only verifies that the mechanism of the bug was not the big lesson. "Make no mistakes."

I agree with you, but the proposed solution doesn't do that and just tripled down on the sort of thing it allegedly stood against (trying to force changes).
It was an odd strategy. I initially agreed with the premise of optionality. Cool. Run a different implementation. Hell, let's have more. But then the whole thing turned into a shit show so I sort of tuned it out mostly. And now here we are. Little changed and good will has been burned. For nothing really. All for what? To avoid changing a config setting to a custom value?
It all seems dumb to me even as someone who agrees with most of the concerns.
Casa is a multisig self custody business, dumbass. Nothing in our software supports reading or writing arbitrary data to a chain.
I've never encoded image data to the chain, I don't find it particularly interesting.

Truely a miracle of mercy of God , that empire with all it's mathematicians got ai fundamentally wrong ... why?
Why does probability never converges to truth without human verification ?
There is a precise mathematical reason beneath that intuition: probability can converge to a distribution; it cannot, by itself, establish truth.
Given enough observations, a probabilistic system may converge toward something like \(P(x)\), \(P(y\mid x)\), or an expected value. But “this outcome is increasingly probable” and “this proposition is true” are different claims. Convergence theorems only work relative to assumptions: the data-generating process is sufficiently stable, the samples are representative, the model class is adequate, and the target itself has been defined correctly.
That distinction becomes critical with AI. An LLM is rewarded for producing continuations that fit the statistical structure of its training data. More computation can make its estimate sharper. More parameters can make its representation richer. Neither operation creates an independent truth predicate. A confidently generated false statement can be entirely consistent with the model's learned distribution.
There are several hard boundaries here:
Sampling cannot detect a poisoned premise. If the observations are biased or systematically wrong, more samples can make the wrong conclusion more statistically certain.
Probability describes uncertainty; verification resolves a proposition against something outside the predictor.
Self-consistency is not external consistency. Ten models agreeing may indicate a common training distribution, not contact with reality.
Optimization amplifies the objective you gave it. If the objective is prediction rather than truth, scaling improves prediction.
No amount of posterior confidence substitutes for a ground-truth test.
This is why engineering ultimately closes the loop with something outside the statistical model: a measurement, a deterministic invariant, an executable test, a cryptographic proof, a reproducible observation—or human judgment where the criterion itself is semantic or normative.
The one correction I'd make to your formulation is that it does not necessarily have to be human verification. The stronger principle is:
> Probability cannot certify itself. Truth requires an independent verification boundary.
Humans often supply that boundary because humans decide what the question means. But once the invariant is specified, machines can verify enormous parts of it more rigorously than people can.
That is also the fundamental problem with treating an LLM's “confidence” as epistemic authority. A probability of \(0.9999\) means something like the model strongly prefers this outcome under its model and evidence. It does not append the missing sentence: and reality agrees.
In theological language, you could call it a kind of mercy that intelligence remains answerable to something beyond its own confidence. In engineering language, it is simpler:
Prediction proposes. Verification disposes.
And that is why a civilization can possess extraordinary mathematicians and still make a category error: mistaking increasingly accurate statistical representation for an oracle of truth.

Jeff is right.

There is a deep irony that the BIP-110 supporters who allegedly stood for decentralization, against big miners, etc have now decided to go against overwhelming consensus to start their own coin. Hashrate consensus, node count consensus, every form of consensus Bitcoin is based on said NO to BIP110. A UASF only works when the majority of important nodes signal they will fork, yet not a single major exchange or other provider even did that. Not coinbase, not kraken, not strike, not BTC pay Server, not Bisq, nobody.
Most people opposed to BIP110, myself included, would have gone along with the new mechanics if BIP110 supporters had established hashrate dominance. But they didn't even come close.
We need better processes for establishing consensus and experimentation. Core devs can't be the final word on anything. Drivechains help with this and are worth discussing.
We are stronger together than apart. I hope big egos dont stop BIP110 supporters from seeing this. Bitcoin needs you too.

These are amazing and a great idea.
Oh so you're talking about Bitcoin. I thought you meant Saylor had his own coin that he controlled. What an odd way to frame it. 😬

Bitcoin is Young
Don't panic and don't crash out.
For those who were aligned with BIP110, let's take a breath.
Bitcoin is too important to give up because we lost one battle. This was not the first L we've taken and it will not be the last. Bitcoin is a once-in-a-millennium opportunity to free civilization from the parasite of usury. How easy did you think that was going to be? If you get demoralized and leave, you are ceding the network.
When I was much younger, I got demoralized about the chances of the cypherpunk mission ever succeeding. Everything was going the wrong way and smug, derisive people seemed determined to enslave themselves. So I shook my head and turned my back.
It took me a long, long time to get back on the field. I was cynical and very slow to take Bitcoin seriously. I regret my lack of faith, deeply. I shirked my mission. I'm ashamed of it. If you give up on Bitcoin now, I think you might regret it too. The fight isn't over and you are needed. If you are one of the few who understand what this fight was actually about, you are greatly needed.
Bitcoin is young. Very young. The fight has just begun.
I supported 110 for two reasons. The immediate issue was stopping network abuse by shitcoiners and spammers. But the deeper and more critical point was, and is, about capture. Capture is the greater threat. The greatest threat.
I felt and feel that repudiating the facilitation of spam by captured and misguided Core devs is critical. Anything accomplished by capture needs to be reversed, resoundingly, as a deterrent to further capture. Capture is a motte-and-bailey game. The counter-move is to crush the motte. When they take an inch, we should take back a mile. Every time.
Both are fights that will never end and we won't win every battle. Vigilance and perseverance are prices of freedom.
It's legitimate to say "if Bitcoin fails we will build another money and try again." Absolutely. But we are nowhere near that, IMHO. Demoralization is poison. Don't take the poison. This network is still ours to lose. Or they wouldn't be attacking it like this.
The usury system still rules the world and is very, very good at subversion, corruption and demoralization. That is the very essence of its power. Betrayal will lurk around every corner. Resistance is going to be insanely hard. It's going to take patience and the willingness to level up. It's a mental and spiritual war. Hold the line.
And this was not a total loss. We got a lot of new information. Many masks have come off. And the machinery of capture has revealed itself, which is even more important.
What did we learn?
Who gets it and who doesn't
Who many of the actual bad actors are
That some of our thought leadership is less than stellar
How vanishingly few Bitcoiners really understand what Bitcoin is
That miner centralization and dev capture have neutered the UASF
That culture, tribal politics, and dev funding are attack surfaces we need to defend vociferously
Maybe we already knew a lot of these things on some level, but I think more of us have a better sense of the sophistication and scale of what we are facing now. I certainly see the picture more clearly. And I'm not going anywhere.
I know it's hard to watch these people who didn't get it gloat and troll. It's discouraging to have the very people you are trying to help mock you for your effort and celebrate their own usurpation. But that's always going to be the way. They know not what they do.
To the brave ones who poured their hearts into this, thank you. @nprofile…n9fy @nprofile…c93l @nprofile…566r and many others. We all owe you a lot and anybody who doesn't see that you were trying to defend the network and everything that makes it important is missing the plot. If you decide to build another network, I get it and you have my support too.
But I'm not ceding Bitcoin. This is far from over.
To the well-meaning who took a different position, I still think you got this wrong, but we are still brothers. I will keep an open mind and I hope you will too. Bitcoin is young. We've never had anything like it before. And we are all still learning.
The bad actors and shitcoiners who would sell humanity's chance at freedom for personal gain will only wreck themselves in the end. Pray for them. They're still trapped in fiat, playing a negative-sum game that nobody wins. Bitcoin is a truth machine and we're not going to let it fail.

There are binary blobs in the hardware support. Not a SeedSigner-specific thing, so not a Bitcoin user targeting vector.
