Bitcoin Knots v29.4.knots20260508 with BIP-110
New version of Bitcoin Knots, and I’ve compiled and installed it on my nodes. One interesting thing I’ve noticed is it will connect out to more nodes until more inbound nodes connect. The older code would limit to 10 or…
Outstanding Analysis of the BIP-110 Soft Fork Possibilities – Nuclear Option POW Change Planned
I’ve queued it to Matt Hill’s analysis which is excellent. Matt Hill is the CEO of Start9. And the most interesting case is if Miners cause havoc and resist the soft fork against theirl economic interest. And we call it…
Coinkite CTO Implicated in Coldcard Vulnerability Incident That Triggered Four Waves of Attacks and Caused $114 Million in Losses
(Headline article below) This is really looking like a deliberate hack on the hardware users by the cofounder, possibly both founders, as why the switch to a new in house library really? And why hide your identity on the library…
The Streetlight With Half a Terabyte of Surveillance Storage Inside
This is diabolical. Plug and play receptacles in street lights that can be upgraded with advanced cameras, AI, signal intelligence… And since they’re street lights, they’ll turn neighborhoods into jail like surveillance, the coming Panopticon. This is Agenda 2030 preparation…

What Could Happen This Saturday (BIP-110)
A good overview of what is coming Saturday in the battle for Bitcoin. I’d just sit back and watch, and get your Bitcoin stored safely and close any Lightning channels… If the BIP-110 side decides to hard fork because miners…
Deanonymizing Monero Transactions in Tor Network
An interesting analysis of a paper covering an earlier version of Monero that was a bit too chatty between nodes on Tor, though already corrected in the latest version. And worth noting, compile your own node. I download the source…
Should Bitcoin Miners Listen To Michael Saylor, Bitcoin Core, or Node Runners?
Another good video going into the BIP-110 activation weekend. Technically the rejection of blocks not signaling for BIP-110 with true activation coming later. And you have to love the clown picture of Saylor, who is actually a clown if you…
Apple Pulled Telegram From the App Store Worldwide Over a Single User Post
And remember that all the big tech platforms are moving to you not being able to install software on your devices unless the developer is in their developer program with the proper signing key. It’s one part extortion for money,…
Was Coldcard An Inside Job?
Some good conspiracy theory material to ponder, and would I be wrong in thinking that NVK just might have signaled the retirement attack by those tweets? Going along those lines, was the change from Trezor’s code to new code with…
