Tomorrow, Bitcoin decides where you live in DogCity.
Block 966,670 is the snapshot.
Whatever $DOG your wallet holds in self custody at that height is what the city reads.
No claim, no signature, nothing to register.
A date is our word.
A Bitcoin block is Bitcoin's word.
That is why the target is a height and not a time, and why the countdown on the page runs in blocks while the clock beside it is labelled an estimate.
Your district is not bought and it is not claimed. It is read from what your wallet did with the airdrop.
The first six tiers belong to the holders who kept what they were given, or added to it.
Satoshi Visionary bought 10x their airdrop or more.
BTC Maximalist, 5 to 10x.
Rune Master, 2 to 5x.
Ordinal Believer added 50% to 200%
on top of it.
DOG Supporter added anything at all above it.
Diamond Paws holds the exact airdrop, still intact.
The other six tiers come from how much of the airdrop was kept by the wallets that sold along the way.
They have a place too.
Behaviour decides the district.
Wallet age decides the street.
On the map above:
Gold, amber and orange are the spit, the noble shore on the bay.
Satoshi Visionary holds the centre of the arc, BTC Maximalist the two flanks, Rune Master the back row.
Burnt orange and brick are the waterfront, across the water from them.
Ordinal Believer faces the water, DOG Supporter sits behind the shore road.
Stone is the inner fabric, where Diamond Paws live.
Order there comes from how the wallet is actually used, not from how much it holds.
Grey and slate are everyone else. From 20k $DOG the oldest UTXO sits closer in. Under 20k, the outskirts, with no ranking at all.
Every holder has a place.
That was the rule before any of this was drawn.
What the map does not show is your lot.
A district is a rule, fixed and auditable. A lot is an output of block 966,670, and it moves every time a coin is received, spent or consolidated.
We will not draw one before the chain says it.
Before the block: hold your $DOG in a wallet you control.
A balance on an exchange belongs to the exchange, and the city cannot read it.
If your coins are still on an exchange tomorrow, that is not the end of it.
Look at the ring expressway on the map, and at the ground between it and the edge of the dome. 34 km² of it is buildable and none of it is built.
The city will read the chain again at a second height, under the same rule, and place the wallets that came home by then.
No claim there either.
The height will be announced.
Withdrawing is not a reward we are handing out. It is self custody, which is the only thing the city has ever been able to read.
The register is published after 6 confirmations, with the map and the merkle root, so anyone can reproduce it.

There is no team or treasury for solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u
solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u is fully decentralized and CC0
It is up to the solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Army to determine solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u's fate
The future of solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u is in your hands!

I am very excited to announce that solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u just took its first step toward upgrading the Bitcoin network 🧵
Today, the solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Army forked Bitcoin Core's code repository and established its own open source project called Bitcoin solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Mode.
Bitcoin solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Mode is a new Bitcoin client designed for maximum freedom.
Bitcoin developers are now able to work together on GitHub and make code contributions to Bitcoin solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Mode.
Over the coming weeks, the first version of solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Mode will be implemented, which involves making the following changes:
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 unlock ~$25M of sats for the Ordinals and Runes ecosystem.
3. Add preferential peering so that solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Mode nodes can "talk" to each other. This feature will largely borrow from Libre Relay's existing implementation of preferential peering.
Once these changes have been implemented, the first version of solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Mode will be released and available for everyone to run on their Bitcoin node.
It's important to take a step back and understand why solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Mode is so important.
For the past two and a half years, the solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Army has been at war with the Bitcoin Knots community.
This was not a war the solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Army went looking for, but rather one we were forced to join when the Bitcoin Knots community vowed to purge all Runes and Ordinals from the Bitcoin blockchain.
This conflict ultimately reached its conclusion earlier this month when the Bitcoin Knots community forked the Bitcoin network via BIP-110 in an attempt to make Bitcoin less compatible with Runes and Ordinals activity.
The fork failed miserably and marked a massive victory for the solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Army. The Bitcoin Knots community has now retreated to its own tiny blockchain which is largely irrelevant to the broader Bitcoin ecosystem.
With that fight now in the rearview mirror, the solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Army can turn its attention toward the much bigger goal of permanently making the Bitcoin network more open and friendly to non-monetary use cases.
There has never been a better time for us to upgrade the Bitcoin network and push for these changes than now.
One of the largest obstacles still standing in the way of non-monetary activity on Bitcoin is Bitcoin Core, whose developers enforce a collection of arbitrarily restrictive "standardness rules" that effectively dictate how people are allowed to use the network.
solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Mode will challenge this gatekeeping.
By loosening several of these standardness rules, solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Mode will give users more freedom to interact with Bitcoin however they choose, without needing approval from a small group of developers.
It's unfortunate that things have reached this point. The ideal outcome would have been to work alongside Bitcoin Core to make Bitcoin more open, programmable, and welcoming to new use cases.
But many Core developers have shown little interest in that vision, and several have been openly hostile toward non-monetary activity on Bitcoin.
So it is time for the solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Army to take control of its own future and stop asking permission from people who would rather see us fail.
Bitcoin solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Mode is built around a very simple philosophical idea:
If someone pays for space in a Bitcoin block, they should be able to do whatever they want in that space without needing anyone else's approval.
Permissionlessness is one of Bitcoin's core principles and it is worth defending.
Bitcoin is stronger, more secure, and more resilient when it supports a thriving economy of non-monetary use cases including DeFi, DEXs, fungible tokens, non-fungible tokens, and entirely new applications that have not yet been invented.
solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Mode is being built specifically to give these use cases the freedom, flexibility, and protection they need to grow and to help usher in a new era of Bitcoin innovation and programmability.
If you are a developer interested in contributing to solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Mode, DM me or start a discussion in the solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Mode GitHub.
If you have a GitHub account and support this initiative, go give the solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Mode repository a star.
If you want to run a solana:dog1viwbb2vWDpER5FrJ4YFG6gq6XuyFohUe9TXN65u Mode node once the first version is released, stay tuned. More information is coming soon!

$DOG MODE IS COMING
YOU ARE NOT READY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cust 🧡 ÐOG retweeted
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
If, by chance, we have proof that Binance possesses any Runestone, then we know they believe in $DOG.
I ONLY SEE $DOG THREE TIMES
STAY SAFU @cz_binance
