Only four complete block bodies could be rebuilt.<br/><br/>Both recent F2Pool headers survived in merge-mined chains, with no known Bitcoin-side capture.<br/><br/>These chains also yielded ~1,400 stales new to the stale-blocks collection. Monitoring them is essential to a holistic Bitcoin monitoring effort.<br/><br/>127 of the 143 blocks have no complete body, yet their failures remain independently checkable.<br/><br/>10 further reports still need evidence. Old node files, pool logs or archives could help. <br/><br/>Contributions and corrections: <a href="https://github.com/bitcoin-data/invalid-blocks">https://github.com/bitcoin-data/invalid-blocks</a><br/><br/> 2026-09-23T01:04:40Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsgvjpym69kss8ft843nrkzcfc05z7f267z66msmwjnwvmxx9p7jdqzyptwr3p5kpgc2s8f870v53zqegtpzwvdg4delygzjy2y9lgm4reaslyku3a Time to give my 10 year old servers another 10 years of life 😬<br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/dbb749c9a151c3ea44d89f05c4497497a2292e7058b383fa7b1bc9d05caa5b79.jpg"> 2026-09-10T07:09:26Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsymutyt59mlhsm858ng3yfdznh2ls6ej72rsz0cj0jh5f3v7eh0jgzyptwr3p5kpgc2s8f870v53zqegtpzwvdg4delygzjy2y9lgm4reasl3tv05 In late 2024/early 2025 when I was “getting back on the tools” after a few years of management, I realised that I didn’t really want to go back to dev mode again.<br/><br/>Fortunately I’d been experimenting with LLMs for work, early GitHub and Cursor with the tab and code- block completion, and it was clear that these tools would increasingly allow me to design and build things without having to dev mode again <br/><br/>I, like many others, have been aggressively pushing to leverage the tools for maximum utility. They are still lacking in areas, and you do need to invest heavily in experimentation, but it’s abundantly clear that human time and effort is better spent up the value chain and not writing any code whatsoever. <br/><br/>Maybe we haven’t yet passed the threshold for all codebases or projects, but it’s only a matter of when, not if. 2026-09-02T02:42:22Z

service of the Bitcoin monitoring mission.<br/><br/>Merge mining lets child chains ride on Bitcoin&#39;s PoW, preserving the parent headers miners hashed.<br/><br/>Bitcoin keeps no durable record of

document interpretation/processing/organisation<br/><br/>I do wonder what the hardware requirements are for such local models to be capable of most general consumer use cases (this model at 35B is not

There's been lots of debate about Core v30 removing the OP_RETURN size/count policy defaults, so I ran the numbers for the latest mempool research report: <a href="https://research.mempool.space/opreturn-report/">https://research.mempool.space/opreturn-report/</a><br/><br/>There were three big waves of OP_RETURN usage: 2019, 2024, 2025. Nearly all standard transactions. The nonstandard ones are so rare you can hardly see them on the chart.<br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/e653b32fb6281c2c8f61252dbd72d1b3c2c66e57059573a06eb72d5d66812da0.png"> <br/><br/>The 2019 Veriblock wave actually put more data on-chain than anything since. People talk about recent OP_RETURN usage like it's unprecedented, but surprisingly it isn't.<br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/a21d64ede3043825d6df2f08c7c5c6109904b6f5d5b07514488c3e69ce4f405a.png"> <br/><br/>The important thing is that the spikes in nonstandard OP_RETURNs were in Mar 2024, May 2025, Aug 2025. All before v30 shipped in November 2025. The rate hasn't gone up since. At all. In fact it's come down<br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/085a690b1081921e41b84e7c2749adc66eb3ad578f4e44e8bd8135551a7384d8.png"> <br/><br/>Runes transactions were standard under the old rules and would even still be standard for #BIP110 (the proposal that's supposedly aims to curb data embedding). If these guys are serious about stopping data they should block runes.<br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/7634c6534ecbdc21a9e51468daa12ab9c989985b33a232b8e7035f22bfaff58e.png"> <br/><br/>TL;DR: v30 recognised what was already occasionally happening on-chain. Nonstandard OP_RETURNs are vanishingly rare, haven't increased post-v30, and the current wave is already cooling off. The data doesn't support the panic.<br/><br/>Read the full report linked below 👇<br/><a href="https://research.mempool.space/opreturn-report/">https://research.mempool.space/opreturn-report/</a> </blockquote> 2026-03-19T06:07:44Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqstmw892jhak5pq9qa9xml78dwnk7aj42rcu3xangzsn5p0dxt78mszyptwr3p5kpgc2s8f870v53zqegtpzwvdg4delygzjy2y9lgm4reashyzwqk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9y2e2n654grkfp6ejv3exx58cxmznpteaymzu5ehwutszyzad52spzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgdsc2mp'>nevent1q…c2mp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Codex definitely has a higher pass mark than Opus, often finds issues that Opus misses<br/><br/>That being said, Opus is a better collaborator, it’s more explicit in what it does and is just more “fun” to work with 2026-03-19T05:49:40Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsf2aln0ged4yah3rje2r65f9jwd5vja8gnr4t9aeh52l3g6xm9cwszyptwr3p5kpgc2s8f870v53zqegtpzwvdg4delygzjy2y9lgm4reas4tetqr In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsg3kvcyn2thu32v835jvy34k594tpahypwv87m4lvdzhanta97f2qpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3eyqcnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmqk6lmcy'>nevent1q…lmcy</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>True, I had not even thought of that!! 2026-03-19T00:51:14Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsv60v3g5mjf5mhcfgjvc36fv7sg4wnu4g0qku8c78saxn8dp9597qzyptwr3p5kpgc2s8f870v53zqegtpzwvdg4delygzjy2y9lgm4reasvqpr82 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvvyfgz84uznmr3le0ckfl9csepq9f9xqfcmd63rlx9jmpwkn7g9gpz9mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0y5erqu8nmt3'>nevent1q…nmt3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The stories are also so very varied, what an imagination 2026-03-19T00:50:52Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsr5nuk30ac5zn6r2eyehr0uxhuxuvvpgx339ptxt27cgyw5mvgzsgzyptwr3p5kpgc2s8f870v53zqegtpzwvdg4delygzjy2y9lgm4reaseeacmr In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsv3atl8nyztvg6gg42jh8fqhwk2nux77xyyjcv4c0u6ky5xc864qqpzamhxw309aex2mrp0yh8xmn0wf6zuum0vd5kzmqtcdkwx'>nevent1q…dkwx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yeah, that Sanderson finished the series is good supporting evidence.<br/><br/>I’ll give it a whirl, thanks <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1jy2pa43vcr3jkwny2f9edsx0cdavzkcwqcla4qqyf03y66nxlgrq3m9p6d" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>yonson</span> (<span class="italic">npub1jy2…9p6d</span>)</a></span> 2026-03-19T00:46:06Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs9ngm823y3zp5gz3mwvxcqx6nzfp2n7a2ugmvms6fudv3xzzlgf3czyptwr3p5kpgc2s8f870v53zqegtpzwvdg4delygzjy2y9lgm4reast3upkj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsymmlfsvju4lj43lc9fpxqlph7k99yz9675rdlq8vfrfxd5ad54wspr9mhxue69uhk2umsv4kxsmewva5hy6twduhx7un89u9wtcgm'>nevent1q…tcgm</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yeah I’ve got that a lot, I think the heavy magic focus (from what I understand) has prevented me from checking it out.. but yeah I really did enjoy Mistborn 1-3, which pretty much involves magic 2026-03-18T15:28:35Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs86lexwtucjrevkhtakwv0vl28f02rnlql4sckdz4pz6jyamg077gzyptwr3p5kpgc2s8f870v53zqegtpzwvdg4delygzjy2y9lgm4reasl097m4 When I was younger I read widely but was very much into Tom Clancy, Matthew Reilly et al.. stories that were real or realistic(-ish). <br/><br/>Not much sci-fi or high fantasy (although I smashed Harry Potter like many of the generation)<br/><br/>In the last few years I’ve really enjoyed branching out into these genres.<br/><br/>Iain M.

So 3 different “regimes” to deal with. And one of the main challenges being working out deductions due to running servers where I self host LLMs and dev VMs etc - changing electricity rates and consumption.<br/><br/>I also want to be able to deal with the variety of docs that information needs to be extracted from automatically, but privately. Of course throwing them into something like Claude or ChatGPT is going to extract the information just fine, but I don’t want that leakage of private information. <br/><br/>So that leads to one of the key features being the leveraging of self-hosted Visual Language Model to do the extraction and information population. With prompt tweaking, and at this stage a number of fixed prompts for specific document types, this yields good results (and I’ve learnt just how sensitive the smaller self hosted models are to the prompt). FWIW I’ve been using Qwen3-VL-32B served via ollama for this purpose.<br/><br/>My wife and friends have asked me “can you make money off this”? I reply, probably, but I also absolutely do not want to be developing, maintaining or supporting tax software. <br/><br/>I did this for my own circumstances and because I wanted to get more mileage with coding agent tools and workflows.<br/><br/>Could it have been done quicker, yes. <br/><br/>Has it paid off, not yet, a few years still.<br/><br/>Am I glad I did it, hell yes!!<br/><br/> 2025-11-07T15:02:12Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqswhnrlksk5kmvlz4rgqpxjpuukpj839vg08d70zx23ehd5e3end2szyptwr3p5kpgc2s8f870v53zqegtpzwvdg4delygzjy2y9lgm4reasd0expn For the past 15 years or so I have used a tax agent to help me prepare my tax returns.<br/><br/>But not working full time, and with tools like Claude Code in my pocket, this year I decided to build an app to help me prepare my tax returns for last FY and forever more going forward. <br/><br/>Took about a week longer than I initially thought, a 2 week process, but I needed to “cross the i’s and dot the t’s” as it’s taxes and we know that the tax authorities don’t fuck around.<br/><br/>Anyway finally at a point I can use it to file my return (a week late..) and in doing this work I have realised I am almost definitely going to get audited 🥲 2025-11-07T04:45:50Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsduagfs56eqd5nwvywtsk8wlyrjfvnvy706tt5zfvxjqdp4knhehszyptwr3p5kpgc2s8f870v53zqegtpzwvdg4delygzjy2y9lgm4reascf4exf It was awesome to pay for goods/services with lightning for a bunch of things at the <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqsvntc029uzdktmmearrssy9zz47mv69gh8tk7cjk6nc3k5v2x2n2gprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68yurvv438xtnrdakj7qfqwaehxw309ahx7um5wghx26tww4hxg7nhv9h856t89eehqctrv5hsx3e3wl" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Busselton Bitcoin Bash</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…e3wl</span>)</a></span> including:<br/>- Jerky &amp; biltong (x2)<br/>- GreenBit miner (made in WA!)<br/>- Accomodation<br/>- Event donation<br/><br/>That being said, I do hope we can develop a much larger local Bitcoin circular economy.
