User funds are safe!
It does look like a hack on Binance. Appreciate the quick freeze from Tether (~$971m) and Circle (~$823m).
I don't manage Binance (.com) anymore, but as a shareholder, I expect all user funds will be fully covered.

Please never forget how taproot scriptsig played out….
We promoted it for things it was never used for. It was used 99% for spam. And then we said “we didn’t specify a use-case, so it’s fine”
Specify the use-case for the new OP_BS. If not used as intended, remove OP_BS

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?

CAPTURE Part 4: THE MACHINE
The fourth and final installment is out.
Bitcoin Magazine wasn’t just covering the fight over Bitcoin’s future. Its parent operated an Ordinals trading desk, invested in businesses tied to the ecosystem, and maintained editorial policies that exempted parts of that same business.
Then came an $80,000/month marketing contract, with an option for Nakamoto Inc. to buy BTC Inc at a valuation tied to its earnings, in a window that included the OP_RETURN fight. Nakamoto exercised the option.
Readers were not consistently told about these commercial relationships.
A documented investigation into the commercial interests and media infrastructure surrounding the Bitcoin Core controversy.

🚨 AlphaPool XBT Miners!🚨
Below is a video tutorial (Chinese subtitled) showing everyone the fastest, easiest, and cheapest way to ensure you are mining to YOUR OWN Node+DATUM (client).
This method is 100% compliant with Knots community standards and is a massive step towards a TRULY decentralized mining pool integration. HUGE shout out to @cguida6 @LukeDashjr @SpectrGen SkyHawk and the rest of you, you know who you are! 😄
The knots team has been instrumental in helping me get this setup in a way that is truly decentralized and I am extremely grateful for that. Its been really neat working together the last week or two and I like the direction things are going! 💪
Miners, if you have any questions please ping me on Discord, DM me here, or on TG. There are a portion of you who still need to spin up your own nodes and DATUM clients, this is extremely time sensitive and urgent. AlphaPools temporary free trial DATUMs we be shutting down very soon so we need to move quickly! I will be here to help anyone who has any questions along the way. Thank you! 🙏

The BlackRock-Strategy Security Consortium in two years…
“We’ve identified the 21M cap as a threat to Bitcoin security”
BlackRock flagged Bitcoin miners as a risk factor in IBIT's 10-K.
The filing says lower block rewards "could result in less of an incentive for miners," which puts network security in question.
Every halving cuts the subsidy that pays for Bitcoin's security. The operators still running afterward are the ones whose power costs work at the smaller reward, so hashrate ends up wherever energy is cheap and reliable.
An IBIT share tracks the price of Bitcoin and adds nothing to the hashrate protecting it. A hosted miner adds hashrate and sends the Bitcoin it produces to a wallet its owner controls.
We run 4+ EH/s across 9 owned Iowa sites at 95%+ uptime, on power rates we locked in before the last halving.
BlackRock's lawyers are asking who keeps hashing when the reward shrinks again.
We've planned the business around that question since 2021.

Neoxa Exchange has upgraded to Bitcoin Knots 29.4.2.knots20260508 in support of the temporary long coinbase maturity soft fork.
At block 973,440 all coinbase (mined) outputs will require 6,480 confirmations before they can be spent, instead of the usual 100.
What this means if you mine to your XBT deposit address: deposits of mined coin will take 6,480 confirmations to credit instead of 100. The window ends at block 979,920.
Ordinary XBT transfers, trading and withdrawals are completely unaffected.
Neoxa Exchange will support the upcoming soft fork for $XBT!
Please keep that in mind when mining to Neoxa Exchange.
Coinbase maturity will increase when the soft fork goes live.

12% of TH/s coming from DATUM gateways with a 7% bonus subsidy coming from stratum hashers. Let's pump those numbers up! Get your own node and start building blocks you can tell your grand-kids about one day.

Block withholding fixed, inscriptions bug fixed, OP_RETURN limited, DATUM ready, block size temporarily lowered, POW algo updated.
Bitcoin has never been healthier.
Bullish on humanity 🙌

We saw a LOT of demand for a Blake2b home miner.
So before we build one, we want to hear directly from you.
-What hashrate would you want?
-What power consumption?
-How quiet should it be?
-Most importantly, what price point makes sense?
You tell us what you want.
If the specs, pricing, and concept make sense. We will make it happen.
Drop your ideal specs below 👇
(BSB B30 for reference of previous design)

Bitcoin is no different than every other thing that is good and valuable in this world. These things require work, stewardship, and intention.
Build for utility.
Build for longevity.
And build for beauty.
Together, we build on Bitcoin. 🧡🫡

Here’s the catch. Those of us who bought Bitcoin in 2013-2015 didn’t believe in Big Bitcoin. We shared Satoshi’s vision of peer to peer money, a bearer asset that existed outside of financial rails.

My approach to fighting this would have been a URSF but it has been established that those will be ignored, even with as much adoption as BIP110 had. If a small group within Bitcoin's industry dislike the URSF, they will simply dismiss it as a Sybil attack and proceed.
All that assumes miners even signal for it to coordinate activation, which they don't need to do. They can just activate a malicious soft fork without any public coordination at all. The entire network will go along with it by default.
