It’s crazy how many intelligent, driven dudes x-posted and podcasted their way to generational wealth on the ground floor of bitcoin treasury companies, while @Pledditor and the mid-curve cry-baby brigade clutched their 0.00001 BTC in cold storage while playing video games in their moms’ basements. Lesson in there. Positivity and building are rewarded. Griping like a jealous little bitch is not. You can just do things fam.

The father of seven has not finished a thought in four years. he is just moving. feeding. driving. wiping. his brain is soup and his back is finished and he has no opinions about civilization he is too tired for opinions. and meanwhile civilization is growing out of him like he is dirt and he doesnt even notice because there is milk on the floor again. the childfree man has read eleven books this year about the decline of the west and he is the decline and the books are the evidence and he will understand this at fifty eight in a room that is very clean and very quiet

Congrats on this, Seriously. #StarContinuesToRise

You cannot develop software for users that you despise. Developers of Bitcoin node software (Knots, Core, etc) cannot successfully build software for a user base that they hate and look down upon. Regardless of how dumb the devs think users are, they can easily sense the utter contempt. Whether it be branding their nodes as fake, telling them they don't matter, DDOSing their nodes and laughing about it (personally I'll never touch a business run by someone like that), or just generic insults ("all these LARPers"), it's all very appalling. Somehow we've ended up with node software developers that have both a god complex and a victim mentality at the same time ("people that did so much for Bitcoin being accused of corruption"). If @r0ckstardev hated BTCPay users, there's no way that BTCPay would be where it is today. If I hated AQUA users, there's no way AQUA would be where it is today. In fact, projects like SamRock come into existence because we love Bitcoiners and want them to succeed. If you want to work on Bitcoin, work on Bitcoin. Do it professionally and do it quietly. Don't make it all about yourself and don't take out your frustrations on the users. And seriously, don't get angry if they don't want to run your software and then insult them for running something else. As @adam3us said, devs are supposed to be the stewards. If you are really are such a talented developer, then how come you are completely incapable of convincing people that your changes are good? If as you think, the users are so stupid, why can't someone as smart as you are get your point across? If your motivations and ethics are being questioned, maybe think about why that is happening instead of lashing out. I repeat, you cannot develop software for users that you despise.

LOLOL. "You can't stop people from arbitrarily numbering sats totally outside of the Bitcoin protocol." Mechanic: "That's nonsense, yes you can." LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

I am fulfilling a promise I made several times in the last few months to publish more detailed information on @BarefootMining's Pool Study. I am publishing the data from the first day we directed hash rate (November 22, 2023) to @ocean_mining through the end of June 30th, 2025 Eastern Time (Block #903481). The picture here is a summary of the data in various time windows. Those interested in more detail can look at each payout from each pool by day throughout the time window. A link to this data is provided below. Each Pool has had exactly (10) S19J Pro+ @ 120 TH/sec units during the entire study period. All 40 units in the study are in the same grid-connected container with the same internet connection. Uptime is virtually 100% for all units as if there was any failure, it was repaired or replaced with an identical unit almost instantly. (This container did not participate in any curtailment.) In case anyone doesn't know, I also personally serve on the Board of Directors of Ocean and I am an investor in Ocean. I want that to be completely apparent to all. I also want to note that the Ocean units received no special pricing or discounts on pool fees. I paid the same fees as anyone else. The fees on the other pools do benefit from special pricing Barefoot has negotiated with those pools. That said, the variance in pool fees is well under 1% from the highest pool fee to the lowest pool fee. I hope everyone understands that my first priority is to be honest, transparent, and help others. That is because I, and Barefoot Mining, work to do what is best for Bitcoin above all else. My next priority is to my company, Barefoot Mining and my investors. This is my way of saying that I have no motivation to skew these results in favor of Ocean or anyone else. I am publicly swearing that this study and all the results being reported have been done with complete integrity and honesty, and my only desire is to reveal that which is true. The bottomline is that Barefoot has done materially better financially by having most of our hash rate directed at Ocean for the past 20 months. If you doubt the results of the study, then I encourage you to run your own study. I realize some of you may wish for more details but I want to preemptively say that will not be able to provide any more information on our study in a public forum. bit.ly/44TLeT4

What a marvel! A staging with all the creativity. Only these fantastic girls could have chosen such an amazing musical cocktail, with a sensational staging.♥️😄🎧
