$DOG SMASHED THROUGH $60M THEN $70M AND NOW $80M THIS APP WILL BE ABSOLUTE MAYHEM WHEN THE #1 BITCOIN MEMECOIN RECLAIMS $100M THE CLIMB BACK TO $1B HAS STARTED THE PATH TO FLIPPING DOGECOIN IS BEING PAVED STAKE YOUR CLAIM IN THIS FIGHT BY QUOTE POSTING WITH "YOU ARE NOT READY!!!"

I am very excited to announce the launch of a new open source Bitcoin client called Bitcoin $DOG Mode. Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Knots have spent years enforcing rules that Bitcoin itself does not have. A transaction can be fully valid under consensus and still be blocked from normal relay because it is “non-standard”. This has resulted in the creation of a private “black market” for Bitcoin transactions where insiders with connections to miners get do things that ordinary Bitcoin users cannot. The $DOG Army has already gotten around this system twice. First we went directly to miners to execute the largest transaction in Bitcoin’s history because Bitcoin Core would not relay it. Then we did it again for the largest airdrop in Bitcoin’s history because of Core’s arbitrary 83-byte OP_RETURN limit. Around the same time, the Runes Protocol had grown so popular that memecoin activity accounted for the majority of transactions on the Bitcoin network. Many of these transactions also went directly to miners to bypass Core’s minimum relay fee. Core realized it had been outmaneuvered and in response they released Core v30 which removed the OP_RETURN limit and lowered the default minimum relay fee to 0.1 sat/vB. This revealed a clear pattern. The $DOG Army could route our “non-standard” transactions around Core, miners would accept them, and then Core was eventually forced to give in. The $DOG Army is done asking for permission. It is time to remove even more of these frivolous restrictions. That is why we are starting an open source initiative to develop our own Bitcoin client called $DOG Mode. When using Bitcoin in $DOG Mode: 1. The maximum standard transaction size will be increased from 400,000 WU to 3,900,000 WU. This will give everyone equal access to do “four meggers” while leaving a generous 100,000 WU of space for the coinbase transaction and block overhead. 2. The global dust limit will be lowered from 294-546 sats (depending on output type) to 1 sat. Ordinals inscriptions and Runes UTXOs are currently forced to carry hundreds of unnecessary sats to appease Bitcoin Core. This will remove the need for “padding” and effectively airdrop ~$25M in locked up sats back to the Ordinals and Runes ecosystem. Unlike Bitcoin Knots, which deviates significantly from Bitcoin Core and introduces substantial risk to node runners, Bitcoin $DOG Mode aims to only change the absolute minimum code necessary to remove these two restrictions. And unlike BIP-110, which attempts to change Bitcoin consensus through a network fork, $DOG Mode operates entirely within Bitcoin’s existing consensus rules and does not require a fork. This ensures that $DOG Mode can be successful from day one. Over time the economic incentives will drive $DOG Mode’s adoption and force Bitcoin Core to stop gatekeeping and allow these completely valid transactions. The result will be a more open, fair, and transparent Bitcoin network. If you are a Bitcoin developer who is interested in contributing to the initial $DOG Mode release, please reach out to me. If you are a Bitcoin miner who is interested in increasing your revenue by adding support for $DOG Mode transactions, please reach out to me. If you are a normal Bitcoin user who wants to support $DOG Mode quote post this with: “I will run Bitcoin in $DOG Mode”

My thoughts on BIP-110 and the "anti-Ordinals movement" that will attempt to fork the Bitcoin network in August 🧵 The greatest threat to Bitcoin is neither Ordinals nor Runes It is the pervasive and dangerous ideology that took hold after the Blocksize Wars that using Bitcoin L1 is bad Starting in 2017 a bunch of lunatics in the "Lightning ecosystem" hijacked Bitcoin and psyoped everyone into believing that making transactions on Bitcoin L1 was somehow immoral and harming children in El Salvador Fast forward nearly a decade and here are some of the downstream effects of telling everyone to stop using Bitcoin L1 A catastrophic amount of time and resources were wasted building a now obsolete and failed "Lightning Network" Bitcoin has now been infiltrated by feds and bankers who have normalized not only paper Bitcoin but Ponzi scheme treasury company versions of paper Bitcoin When you joined Bitcoin a decade ago you were taught how to self-custody When you join Bitcoin today many of the top "leaders" tell you to buy pump and dump Bitcoin proxy scams trading anywhere from 2x to 100x NAV The vast majority of "Bitcoin maxis" have never even used Bitcoin L1 and are technically illiterate having no idea what a UTXO is The biggest joke of all is that discouraging people from using Bitcoin L1 created the low-fee environment which allowed the data storage use case to take root It is laughable that BIP-110 claims "data storage competes unfairly with payments" You can transfer billions of dollars of value on Bitcoin L1 in roughly 200 bytes yet Bitcoin maxis failed so badly at creating demand for block space that it became economically viable for artists to store 4 megabyte JPEGs while competing fairly in the exact same fee market BIP-110 is by far the least cypherpunk proposal by the least cypherpunk group of people in the history of Bitcoin They have completely lost the plot Instead of coming to terms with the consequences of their own decisions they are attempting to introduce radical levels of censorship to a network whose entire value proposition is censorship resistance There are no words to describe how fragile someone's ego must be to blame artists for using a low-fee environment created by your own reckless decisions It is not a coincidence that 67.9% of all Bitcoin transactions this week were Ordinals and Runes While the Bitcoin maxi movement is completely going off the rails We are the ones who actually use the Bitcoin network We are the ones who secure the Bitcoin network by paying fees We are the ones who understand the Bitcoin network at the deepest technical level We are the ones who denominate in Bitcoin and actually use Bitcoin as money every single day We are the ones who self-custody our Bitcoin and carry on the ethos of "not your keys not your coins" We are the real Bitcoin maxis now There is nothing more cypherpunk than running your own node and ripping some JPEGs onto a censorship-resistant network regardless of how unpopular it is Satoshi's first act on Bitcoin was to inscribe data We are simply carrying on the torch Because the prior Bitcoin maxis have failed so miserably the Ordinals and Runes enjoyers have become the new Bitcoin maxis We will make self-custody cool again We will make experimenting on Bitcoin fun again We will get people to use Bitcoin as a medium of exchange again We will educate people and make Bitcoiners technically literate again We will secure Bitcoin by creating a robust fee market and high demand for blockspace again We will purge Bitcoin of the feds and bankers who have infected it like a disease and that starts with defeating the BIP-110 fork in August I am calling on all $DOG soldiers, all Ordinals enjoyers, and all Runes degens to band together and fight against this BIP-110 cancer that is hell-bent on destroying the Bitcoin that we know and love If you are against BIP-110 and agree that Bitcoin should remain censorship resistant show your support by quote posting this with "Defend permissionless blockspace. Reject BIP-110." and be sure to repost all quote posts Long live Bitcoin Long live Ordinals and Runes

You own a collection on Ordinals? You could be earning a percentage from marketplace sales on ◉RD. @lifofifo just announced something called Partner Collections, and if you’re an artist or team building in Ordinals, this is something worth paying attention to. Here’s how it works: Marketplace fees on ◉RD are structured to be simple. Every confirmed trade uses a maker + taker fee model. The maker fee is 1% of the listing price. The taker fee is 1.5% of the listing price. That brings the total marketplace fee to 2.5% on every confirmed sale. Minimum fee: 1,000 sats. Now here’s the interesting part. For partner collections, ◉RD shares 1% from its 2.5% marketplace fee with the collection team or artist as part of the sale transaction. That means buyers and sellers are not paying any extra fees. The fee remains the same. If your collection is a partner collection, your team or artist can receive a share from marketplace activity whenever sales happen. So instead of adding royalties on top of trades, ◉RD is using its existing marketplace fee to support original collections directly. Simple structure. No added buyer/seller burden. Original artists and teams still get supported. What is expected from Partner Collections? At minimum, partner collections are expected to support their ◉RD listing by: • Linking to their collection on ◉RD where feasible, especially in their X bio • Making an announcement tweet • Helping direct their community to the marketplace The program is mainly designed for original teams and artists. Community-run projects or CTOs typically are not a good fit. If you’re interested in becoming a Partner Collection, open a ticket in the @TheWizardsOfOrd DISC◉RD server. This is a massive W

Trading is now live on ◉RD ord.net For now, we only have listing and buying. But this is just the beginning. There's more to come. Stay tuned 🧙‍♂️

Make sure your collection isn't relying on an offchain JSON file that can (and will) disappear. Creating a gallery inscription is easier and cheaper than ever. If you need help, open a ticket in @TheWizardsOfOrd discord. Don't be complacent.

It's more of a verification process. But essentially, it's this. github.com/TheWizardsOfOrd/o…
