Compared to the free software movement, the open source movement weakened the requirement that software has to stay open. It was a bending of the knee to big business as well. However, in contrast to bitcoin, the major projects in FOSS like GNU/Linux stayed on the original GPL license. #FOSS #XBT 2026-10-25T14:22:03Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqst69rx9sav5gqskgjc05d266l4l860hm8qkxjs65snn6s3j8mk8gszyqgr0mklraeg2ctnszx63l46h6fufxag6jazq334lasqcqdg7ux5y6plqyl Regarding node setup: Has anyone already tried to set up a node with two chains (SHA256, BLAKE2B) on a single btrfs partition with deduplication using BEES? #XBT 2026-10-23T14:54:45Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8epjp5zspkgqtjq9zaud3zgg7st2vrd0pah0nfk985gsh6d4cm3qzyqgr0mklraeg2ctnszx63l46h6fufxag6jazq334lasqcqdg7ux5yay9wxs The ignorance of Saifedean Ammous concerning the spam question on the SHA256 chain is not without a certain irony. &#34;The Bitcoin Standard&#34; may therefore become an alternate-history fiction book as well, much like &#34;The Gold Standard&#34;: What a wonderful world we could have had if bitcoin had not been captured by &#34;The Fiat Standard&#34;. ;-) 2026-10-17T09:11:29Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqx9c4ak049ahdr74jf6wwcaed842pkf9c3cpa0x4x5ne76xh9fzgzyqgr0mklraeg2ctnszx63l46h6fufxag6jazq334lasqcqdg7ux5ygejr3y There are examples out there in which forks have overtaken the originals: LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice and is currently the dominant branch. Among other things OpenOffice had a governance problem and lost trust from the community.

They do what they are told and a centralized entity can stop and start the chain at its whim.

In the end the people in the bitcoin community share some values that is transacting value and therefore the bad neighbors dumping garbage on the blockchain are not welcomed and should leave. <br/> </blockquote> 2026-10-05T06:25:49Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsraq00kvhqngf8tdfhkg47g0s563gkm7vk9mcytxrcnzch6pnp34szyqgr0mklraeg2ctnszx63l46h6fufxag6jazq334lasqcqdg7ux5ywzd52a It is a shame that #Boltz disappeared, but at least we can also do swaps on platforms like #Robosats.
