Can BIP110 lead to a chain split? What is Mandatory Signaling? What are the fork dynamics in play? Find the answers - and simulate the outcome for any hashrate split - at bip110.orange.surf 👇

After many attempts to escalate this through several different paths over the course of three weeks, GitHub finally decided, without any further elaboration at all, that in fact we did not violate any policy, and they shouldn’t have turned off our CI in the middle of a release process at all… Obviously given how absurd this whole process was and how many escalation paths we had to track down to have any hope of a serious response we’re still gonna move off GitHub, and I’d definitely recommend others do the same. Thanks for all the years of free, awesome service GitHub, but all good things must come to an end.

Quick update. GitHub has decided our open-source project has been permanently banned with no explanation and no option to appeal, pointing to a ToS that clearly does not cover anything we’ve ever done. I guess it’s time for Bitcoin projects to leave @github.

Update: the App Review Board has confirmed that my Apple Developer account will not be terminated. Sparrow on macOS is safe. Thank you to everyone who shared and reached out in the past 24 hours - I'm grateful. And credit to @Apple for reviewing the appeal and reaching the right outcome. The deeper problem hasn't gone away: apps impersonating @SparrowWallet are still reaching users and putting their funds at risk. I'll keep working to protect people from those scams, and I hope to do so alongside @Apple. Thank you all.

My attempt to protect users from scam apps on the @AppStore has gotten my Apple Developer account flagged for termination - ironically, for "dishonest activity". Unless it's reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow Wallet will fail, and development on macOS will end.

Confused about BIP110 forking dynamics? This thread will explain in 11 steps. 1. BIP110 and Standard miners share the same chain until a rule disagreement appears, which could happen if the lock-in threshold gets met (unlikely IMO) or later when "mandatory signalling" begins.

Bull Bitcoin has obtained the MICA license in France. Users from member states of the European Union will continue to be able to use Bull Bitcoin's bitcoin exchange and payment services legally without any interruption or reduction in service. We are particularly excited to have obtained our MICA license without needing to compromise on our cypherpunk approach to self-custody and privacy. All features of our website and wallet will remain exactly the same as they have been for the first half of 2026, with no additional burden or restrictions imposed on our users. We have proven that it is possible to meet the highest requirements of regulatory compliance without becoming overzealous. We are also extremely proud to report that we have passed PASSI and DORA cybersecurity audits (required for MICA) without having outsourced our core Bitcoin infrastructure to hosted third party software providers, which would have been easier and cheaper but would have made us dependent on external services and compromised our sovereignty. That was a huge win. This nearly 3 year effort was entirely self-financed. No external investors or lenders were sollicitated. This reflects Bull Bitcoin's reputation, our record of flawless execution and our long-term sustainability. I am extremely proud of our team. Having secured a long-term foothold in Europe, our ambition is global domination and setting a new standard on how to build the infrastructure Bitcoin deserves. LONG LIVE BULL amf-france.org/fr/espace-epar…

Unless @Apple's decision to terminate @craigraw's Apple Developer account is reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow will fail, and development on macOS will end. If you value Sparrow, a repost would help. @AppleSupport

#SPEDN [email protected] btcmap.org/merchant/3108 This isn't speculation—this is Bitcoin adoption in action. 🪙⚡️ Local students in South Africa are closing the loop by spending their sats directly at Jabulani Shop No. 3 using tap-and-go NFC Bolt cards. A self-sustaining Bitcoin economy built from the ground up, proving that the Lightning Network is the ultimate tool for financial inclusion. Empowering youth, empowering local business. Incredible work by @BitcoinEkasi! 🇿🇦 @bolt_card

Five 0.5 BTC Casascius coins were redeemed today including one of the silver ones.

🚨NEW: US government pulls plug to latest AI model

Saving in Bitcoin is not a crime. Yet, the South African National Treasury is drafting regulations that would potentially make it one. These vague rules could: - Ban self-custody of crypto assets. - Force the sale of private assets to the state. - Outlaw peer-to-peer transactions. - Give the Minister arbitrary power to set illegal thresholds without a parliamentary vote. This is not regulation. It's expropriation. Big shout out to @PRDG_ZA for organizing the fight. See what they're doing: propertyrightsdefense.org 🔗 KNOW THE THREAT: Official Draft: treasury.gov.za/public%20comme… Submit Objection: ag.bitcoinzar.co.za We are fighting for the right to control our own wealth. #BitcoinEkasi #FinancialInclusion
