Covenants are a crucial piece of functionality that is missing from Bitcoin. It's amazing that developers have been discussing them for a DECADE without settling on a proposal.

@mukona Yes I have a lengthy blog post I'll be publishing in the coming days. Covenant constructions with existing script functionality are unwieldy and too complex to expect anyone to adopt them.

I'm seeing nearly 50% as much engagement on nostr as on twitter, but with only 1% the audience size.Assuming the stats are roughly accurate, it means nostr users are 50X more active than twitter users. Alternatively, it could mean that Twitter is 98% abandoned.

I felt a great disturbance in the Fediverse, as if thousands of voices cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced as they were rugged by NVK. 🙃

I suspect that the majority of my mastodon followers got nerfed last week when the BitcoinHackers instance shut down. My feed is a ghost town.If you see this post, please star it or comment so that I can get a sense of who is left.

@mackubaDepends on the client - a lot of them are pretty rough. But for mature clients I recommend:iOS: DamusAndroid: AmethystWeb: iris.to

@gerrymcgovern @briankrebs Bitcoin's energy consumption doesn't make it a grift, con, or scam. Bitcoin is an incredibly transparent system with regard to how it operates.All you're really saying is that you don't value the utility offered by the system and thus you consider the energy expenditure a waste. However, your whining won't change the incentives at play: Bitcoin as a system pays for its own thermodynamic security.

A butthurt mastodon.online user reported one of my toots that refuted a claim that Bitcoin is a scam.But here's the thing: I'm a sovereign Mastodon user. I administer my own server (lopp.social).After a thorough investigation I have determined that I followed my own rules! 🤣

Do you administer a mastodon instance, even just a single-user instance for yourself? I highly recommend setting up this script in order to keep the disk footprint low. It purged 30GB from my single user instance!https://ricard.dev/improving-mastodons-disk-usage/

On the bright side, the latest mastodon security update seems to have gone smoothly for my instance...

Write-up of the recent Mastodon critical vulnerability:* You could inject a post that is attributed to any remote user.* You could overwrite the server's copy of any remote user.* You could rekey the server's copy of any remote user, by just listing another key.https://arcanican.is/excerpts/cve-2024-23832/discovery.htm

I've been running my own private Mastodon instance for over a year now, and I will say that it's quite reliable. Haven't had a single instance of unplanned downtime, nor have I spent any time on server maintenance!

Satoshi Nakamoto minted Bitcoin's genesis block 15 years ago today.We once again have seen banks begging for bailouts to avoid collapsing under the weight of their own ineptitude while central banks continue to dilute the value of our money.It might make sense to get some bitcoin in case it catches on!

I guess Mastodon will henceforth be my platform of choice for infosec news.
