Bitcoin

Warren Buffett said, “Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful”.

Baron Rothschild, an 18th-century British nobleman and member of the Rothschild banking family, is credited with saying that "the time to buy is when there's blood in the streets."

Seriously, I held through from ATH's in 2021, through 2022 when it was all the way down to 16k, then the slow and arduous journey back to 60k, and all the way beyond 100k.

Basically, I'm just happy its above freaking 40k! So to have people freaking out about 90... I'm feeling just fine.

Now if it went down to 16k again I might feel a little frustrated, but still- I'm happy as a clam right now.

In the Midwest USA an Upstream Data Hash Generator is consuming waste methane to power bitcoin miners, giving the producer a mean to sell gas they otherwise couldn’t.

The most notable changes:

• bitcoind used to listen on 127.0.0.1:8334 by default. If you use Tor for incoming connections, you have to manually specify bind=127.0.0.1:8334=onion in config
• unix sockets can now be used to communicate with Tor or other proxy, and MQ traffic.
• New mempool policies has been implemented to patch some attack vectors for chains of unconfirmed transactions, especially in relation to lightning network channels and similar contracts.
• TRUC (Topologically Restricted Until Confirmation, BIP 431) can now be used with transaction version 3 (now considered standard) instead of RBF.
• Full RBF (Replace By Fee) is now enabled by default
• RHEL 8 and Ubuntu 18.04 are now unsupported due to minimum required glibc version bump.

Some nice changes here, three of note:

• private channels with LND is functioning again
• offers has gained BOLT12 support as well
• onion messages now supported by default

for those of you that run CLN, how do you like it?

Some highlights:

• Experimental support for inbound fees was added in #6703, with send support in #6934
• New config option sweeper.maxfeerate added in #7823
• You can use environment variables in lnd.conf now for rpcuser and rpcpass (#8310)
