Can we be done with the softforks for now?
So we can focus on post RDTS expiration?

Knots 29.4.3 is out. Coins mined 973,440 to 979,918 keep the 45-day wait and unlock at 979,920. Coins from 979,919 on wait 25,920 blocks, about 180 days. Upgrade before 979,919. Per @LukeDashjr, the first Knots release cut by someone else: @kwsantiago.

The community has spoken. 180-day maturity, it is.
Milestone: This is the first version of Knots released by someone other than myself. Congrats @kwsantiago!

I'm going to be honest with you. You're not going to want to hear this. And you certainly won't agree, but I'm damn sure right about it. Are you ready?
Don't do this.
Convey all 100 things to her with non-verbals and action over time and every day. Compliments are ok sparingly and non gushing.
But if you literally write down 100 things you appreciate about your wife and give them to her, her conscious mind will like it, she'll even tear up probably, and hug and kiss you, but subconsciously you'll have reduced yourself to her. You'll have damaged the necessity for you to remain a challenge and a mystery to her. And that is the basic foundation of what makes you attractive to her.
Your strength, tenderness, wisdom, leadership, confidence, humor, personality, even your love for God, all build your attractiveness upon this singular foundation:
Challenge & Mystery.
And now you know.
It's the perennial truth of why women - even decades long married women - are attracted to their man. Period.

BIP110 was not to fight spam. It was to prevent CSAM attacks.
BLAKE2b wasn't either - it was to restore functionality to the network after the miners attacked it.
Neither was the long maturity - that was to fight Stratum pooling.
Bitcoin fights spam with filters. And it's very effective. From nearly 2 MB of spam per block to 120k is a 94% reduction. And as you notice, Plumb is paving the way to reduce it further.
Spam is still bad, but no longer a serious problem for Bitcoin.

The most powerful computer network in the world controlled by 2 mining pools, coercible by governments or Saylor-Black rock level suits. Woke dishonest devs. A pleb army neutered by nodes that don't matter and admonished by the cult-leaders who are really paid-off influencers who can't afford the sponsorship loss, let alone the social cost, of maintaining a backbone. Yeah this is all going swimmingly. You all became the very thing we sought to destroy. Congrats. AND YOU KNOW IT IN YOUR BONES, but none of you are intellectually honest enough to admit it.

It makes no sense to activate a permanent softfork that activates a week after it was first proposed
Dumb

I'm not @LukeDashjr's biggest fan, but the balls on that man to pull off the continued decentralization of Bitcoin and give maxis a way to move forward with XBT (Bitcoin that is not captured), is something that I am thankful for and I know it has taken great integrity to do it.

Grok is looking at everything from the perspective of hashrate, implicitly assuming that 5 large mining pools get to decide the rules of Bitcoin. If you look at it from the perspective of node runners getting to determine consensus, rather than large regulated miners, we had 15-25% of the nodes running a UASF and literally nobody running a URSF opposing us. The actual minority soft fork was thus the URSF, since it was close to zero. With BIP-110, we told the large mining pools that op returns greater than 83 bytes were no longer allowed in blocks. The large mining pools ignored our rule and instead expanded the rule set to allow op returns greater than 83 bytes (expanding rules= hard fork, narrowing rules= soft fork). The mining pools sided with Saylor and Core and Tether, against the wishes of UASF node runners. They hard forked themselves off the network by doing this (hard fork again means expanding the rules). Sometimes people conflate hard forks and chain splits, whereas it's possible to have a chain split with either a soft fork or a hard fork

Watch how institutional power is not merely normalized, but openly celebrated in Bitcoin's social layer.
Wealth, status, access, and proximity to power are elevated, while Bitcoin's founding principles, including sovereignty and the separation of money and state, are ridiculed.
The values of the fiat system Bitcoin was created to challenge are being repackaged as Bitcoin's path to success.
On November 5, Mars Spits Bars takes this worldview to BTC Inc's Bitcoin Amsterdam, on a Whale Pass-only panel titled:
“BIG BITCOIN: IN CONTROL?”
The CAPTURE articles documents the institutional relationships and mechanisms of influence.
Bitcoin's social layer is the final line of defense against complete institutional capture.
But if that very social layer is being conditioned to celebrate institutional power, ridicule principled opposition, and attack those exposing its concentration, who exactly is left to resist it?

SPAM INSTITUTIONS AND BIP110
Some of you think that BIP110 was rejected by the miners for various false reasons. Let me demonstrate the real reason why BIP110 was rejected.
To the left, we see 3 of 6 the big hasher pools that control over 90% of the network. When you look into who owns who, it's really more like 2 pools.
The blocks of those pools are all 100% full, while the blocks of the smaller pools on the right at not always full.
One of the reasons for this is that the spammers have entered into an agreement with the hasher cartel to bypass the policies and fill every empty block space with spam, all at a very low fee. On the right, red shows the empty section of blocks.
As a result of this, spam now takes up half of block space, and they pay 4x less than monetary users for the same block space.
This is why BIP110 was ignored. The spammers and the hasher pools got together behind closed doors and decided they run the show now.

This is an example of an account that brings nothing except an overt cuck energy to the captured SHA-256 spam chain. It likes pretending to be a “troll”, but really, it’s just a waste of time. Should be blocked by any person trying to optimize their time on twitter, by default.

The plan all along was for Bitcoin to be mined by people who want to keep the network going, not simply for profit.

What is with the defensive tribalism mentality and response of BTC followers? 🧐🤔
They are clearly triggered when their worldview belief that Bitcoin is bound and synonymous to BTC is challenged👇🤨🧵
One can see this in the angry, attacking, emotionally charged and triggered responses of @Saifedean Ammous (screenshots below).
The truth is -
Bitcoin is bound only to its past blockchain history, and is independent of, and not bound to any specific hashing algorithm.
The ability of Bitcoin to be hashing algorithm agnostic is a feature that allows Bitcoin to "fire the miners" in case of centralization and capture risk... as it recently did.
Because they have never seen a defensive hardfork executed, they erroneously believe it was an offensive hardfork maneuver because this is how it has been used in the past.
It's actually a fascinating study of human nature and Ego at work that when someone who has put in the work to be held as an authority on a subject of economic - as Saifedean has - feels entitled to have an authoritative response when the worldview they crafted is challenged
🧐🤨
... Or maybe he's mad because he kept all his Bitcoin on an exchange and got rugged if his XBT so now he's stuck defending BTC 😉🤷🏼
Either way,
BTC is controlled by The State.
That's just a fact becoming more and more obvious.
XBT is money for plebs.
Invest wisely ✊⚡️

As of 10/16/26 12PM EDT any miners using the Pool Hosted Failover Public Endpoints pay a 25% >> 100% escalating fee (24hrs - 96hrs).
Miners who have not yet setup up their own nodes+DATUM will now be paying a 100% Fee donating the proceeds to the DATUM miners of the pool.
If you see the below message on your individual miner dashboard? You need to get your own node+DATUM setup right away!
Please see👉xbt.alphapool.tech/start and let me know if you have any questions or need support running your own node!
