Pretty neat. This can potentially formalize ideas people had on improving plausible deniability, but weren’t practical without an industry/community standard emerging. Improving privacy doesn’t always require more moon math; adopting better practices could also go a long way https://twitter.com/Blockstream/status/1027330286617550848 …

Launch announcement for http://btcinformation.org , a community-maintained fork of Bitcoin(dot)org with advertisements removed and third-party trackers disabled. I've already had the pleasure making some small contributions. https://btcinformation.org/en/posts/announcing-btcinformation.html …

Welcome side effect of #bitcoin: many people can stop living a life full of sacrifices (working too much comprising their health & dreams) & now can spend their time more freely, choosing jobs they really like, studying, travelling, helping others & staying with their families.

I can also say from various private discussions with miners during the development of BIP91 that BIP148/UASF had a strong effect in regards to encouraging the quick activation of BIP91. The whole UASF movement greatly helped in regards to breaking the stalemate.

Yes. You know wrong things. Anyone can hijack the name "Bitcoin" to create false impressions. BCH's philosophy is very different from Bitcoin - Bitcoin is based on rigorous, open, consensus- and merit-based development, while BCH is based on blindly following leaders.

Another instant classic from @hrdng! I'm biased, but I think this is the best technical roundup of the week's news in the Bitcoin world. Thanks to @ajtowns for his contribution this week!https://twitter.com/bitcoinoptech/status/1024286382523658240 …

The Ten Biggie Commandments: Don’t reveal your HODLings Use Tor Always validate Don’t believe all of the hype Never tell a friend when to buy Don’t lend coins Family is most important Use a cold wallet Don’t talk about your friends’ HODLings Don’t buy with money you don’t have

Next: CLightning deployment will have their lightning charge exposed. It will be possible to use the excellent lapps of @shesek so easily! :)

If you are just looking for bells and whistles, this video is probably not for you. However, if you are interested in research that cuts to the essence of what can be done with cryptography and its implications for cryptocurrency, I can't recommend it enough.https://twitter.com/SFBitcoinDevs/status/1020969813944905728 …

#LightningNetwork has reached two milestones: 10000 channels and capacity of 100 Bitcoins! Good job everyone! https://p2sh.info/dashboard/db/lightning-network …

If you want inbound liquidity in LN adopt a mind-set that every sat you spend also buys you inbound capacity you can leverage for routing fees and getting paid yourself. Buying $100 Amazon on @bitrefill lets you get paid ~$100 in the future, or lets you route and take your % fees
