Bitcoin Core is on pace for its busiest year of pull requests. 2,035 PRs opened Jan–Sep, the most ever (2021: 1,741). At the usual pace 2026 ends near 2,650; the record is 2,304 (2020). Merges aren't at a record, though. Is AI making it easier to open a PR? #Bitcoin

New paper: what happened when Core Lightning asked operators to go offline? 22% of CLN nodes went dark; other clients didn't move. One hub outweighs the whole CLN cohort. Paper: github.com/bitcoindatalabs/l… Talk tomorrow at @tabconf. Thread by @sorukumar 👇 xitter.cf/sorukumar/status/21104…

On Aug 26, Core Lightning's maintainers told operators : don't shutdown, restart with --offline until the fix. Lightning had never seen that before: one client, switched off on request. A natural experiment. I measured what happened. New paper 🧵
