"The most important things you can do today are: 1) Fight economic/node centralization by encouraging businesses to accept payment in bitcoins using their own full node. This is crucial to enforcing the consensus rules themselves. 2) Fight mining centralization by solo mining (eg with Knots and DATUM) yourself if practical. You probably won't break even competing against industrial miners but every little bit helps (though the more hashrate the better). If you have a voice in larger mining firms ask them to make their own blocks and not cooperate with attackers. Both of these are strengthened"

"Bitcoin is not a finished product. We may be on a detour to address spam and part of the crisis did originate with (mishandling of) the Segwit and Taproot upgrades - but to improve the world we still need more functionality. Stopping all improvements forever ("ossifying") is fatal. Part of addressing the issues with Core needs to be ensuring we don't repeat the same mistakes: if an upgrade introduces unforeseen vulnerabilities those need to get addressed in a timely manner. All protocol changes require support from the entire community so we developers are going to have to earn that"

""Inscriptions" are _more_ prunable than OP_RETURNs. UTXO bloat comes from the spam transactions occurring _at all_ and the other dummy outputs they create. Adding _more_ places to put spam does not in any way reduce the abuse in the others. Indeed it only legitimizes data no matter where it gets put. Limits are not typically bypassed. The problem began by Core neglecting to _have_ the limits. https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2021151208593904088 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2021151208593904088"

"The most important things you can do today are: 1) Fight economic/node centralization by encouraging businesses to accept payment in bitcoins using their own full node. This is crucial to enforcing the consensus rules themselves. 2) Fight mining centralization by solo mining (eg with Knots and DATUM) yourself if practical. You probably won't break even competing against industrial miners but every little bit helps (though the more hashrate the better). If you have a voice in larger mining firms ask them to make their own blocks and not cooperate with attackers. Both of these are strengthened"

"As scammers progress it's only a matter of time until they start using deepfake voices/videos too. For maximum security it is best to authenticate important information using cryptography like OpenPGP. To do that safely you need to be sure the OpenPGP key is legit. If you're at a conference I'm attending get a business card from me with my OpenPGP key fingerprint https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2017273503997645038 https://twitter.com/i/web/status/2017273503997645038"
