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.
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

This is also true of Bitcoin. There are no markets in Bitcoin without Bitcoin security. Nobody can with high security hold or trade Bitcoin without a trust-minimized blockchain. If negligent developers increase the need to trust participants or third parties to not abuse it, or if they otherwise introduce attack vectors, the value proposition of Bitcoin is degraded or destroyed. The good news is that the trust-minimized blockchain is nonviolent. During the gold standard era, gold was carried around the world in armed warships. No such need when transferring sats with a properly implemented Bitcoin.

Granted, the week of the 1st of December was really bad: 23 oversized OP_RETURN outputs inserted 431 kB into the blockchain. For context: a week has about 1008 blocks à 4,000,000 WU blockspace. So, that was about 0.043% of that week’s blockspace. The sky is falling!!! /s
I got a bit tired of being constantly told that oversized OP_RETURN outputs exploded since the release of Bitcoin Core 30.0 (2026-10-10). So, here’s a visualization of the data. 🧵 I’ve highlighted OP_RETURN outputs of ≥84 bytes for better visibility:

A hotel company bet everything on Bitcoin at the top. Now two meetings, four days apart, will decide if the model survives or dies. This is the story nobody is telling. METAPLANET. Once a failing Japanese hotel chain. COVID killed the business. Stock collapsed to 210 yen. Going concern warning issued. Then they sold every hotel but one. And bought Bitcoin. Aggressively. 30,823 BTC today. Fourth largest corporate holder on Earth. The problem? Average purchase price: $108,000. Bitcoin today: $87,000. They are $640 million underwater. Stock down 81% from June. And they just borrowed another $130 million to buy more. Here is what the market is missing. Two dates. One outcome. December 18: Bank of Japan decides on rates. December 22: Metaplanet shareholders vote on $135 million raise. If Japan tightens, yen strengthens, Bitcoin sells off, their premium collapses, the vote fails. If Japan stays loose, yen weakens, Bitcoin holds, vote passes, they survive. The central bank decision IS the shareholder decision. Four days apart. Same verdict. Why this matters beyond one company. Japan has no Bitcoin ETF. Metaplanet became the only way for Japanese money to access BTC on the stock exchange. That is why the stock rose 4,000% in 2024. That is why it crashed 81% when Bitcoin dropped 30%. Leverage amplifies everything. They need Bitcoin at $108,000 just to break even. They need it above $130,000 for the model to work. Below $70,000, they start selling to meet collateral calls. A hotel company’s survival now depends on what the Bank of Japan says in a number of days. The future of corporate Bitcoin treasuries hangs in the balance. Your thoughts? Read the super deep dive article here - open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…
Anarcho-capitalism is a wonderfully abstract ideal that can inspire innovation. It helped inspire me to help invent cryptocurrency. But real-world cryptocurrencies are not trustless -- they are trust-minimized. Each cryptocurrency has a legal attack surface, representing the kinds of ways governments and/or private entities can practically use law to disrupt their operations. The layer 1 of a good trust-minimized cryptocurrency like Bitcoin can withstand much more interference than centralized technologies could or can, but the technology still has its limits. The kinds of attacks that come from financial law have largely proven to be manageable, due to a combination of the trust-minimized (not trustless) technology, which requires diligent attention from developers motivated to keep it a trust-minimized form of money, and a large army of cryptocurrency industry lawyers who specialize in financial law. The legal attack surface from arbitrary data is far larger and far less predictable. The crypto industry does not have the legal expertise to deal with it. Thinking that Bitcoin, or any other cryptocurrency or blockchain protocol, is a magical anarcho-capitalist Swiss army knife that can withstand any kind of governmental attack in any legal area is insanity.
@adam3us Has there been any work towards this annex you mentioned earlier? It would be really nice to have a market for data storage priced in #BTC that could be opt in for node runners. The network effects of having "official" #BTC data storage might lower spam x.com/adam3us/status…
@OrangeFren @ecksactly @w_s_bitcoin right people can inscribe in main (full price) or in witness (3/4 discount) or if this got implemented in annex (15/16 discount say). i was thinking a flat fee space, like bitcoin does with main vs segwit, it's all one space, just steeper discount, so it would always be cheaper.
NEW EP: What's next for Fuel? In this episode, I sat down with @IAmNickDodson, CEO & Co-founder of @fuel_network, to explore the evolution of Fuel - from the first optimistic rollup on Ethereum to Fuel Ignition, their new modular execution layer. Nick shares his journey into the Ethereum ecosystem, the design philosophy behind FuelVM, and why a new virtual machine architecture is key to scaling modern DeFi. We also dive deep into off-chain execution, the need for high-throughput infrastructure, and how @eigen_da powers Fuel’s performance roadmap. Bullish on Ethereum?

@Michael53500819 @parman_the people keep waving red flags. there are millions of JPEGs in chain today. the claims over encoding are stupid. as of 0.28 the data on disk, in op returns is encoded due potential virus scanners etc. so it's moot and people keep ranting about illogical things, i don't like that.
In leaked messages to The Rage, Knots maintainer Luke Dashjr is proposing a Bitcoin hardfork to implement a trusted committee that enables the retroactive altering of data on the blockchain. All relevant messages we received are contained in the article for you to read for yourself. This phrase has been greatly inflated over the years, but what Luke is proposing here is an attack on Bitcoin. I‘ve stayed out of the Knots v Core debate until now bc I can sympathize with not turning BTC into ETH -If you want to do JPEG stuff, there‘s other chains for that, and the only reason to use Bitcoin for it is to astroturf off of its value. On the other hand, its also been clear that filters alone do not work. This is what Luke essentially concedes in the leaked messages. Keeping JPEGs off of Bitcoin can only be done if the entire network adopts his changes - and there‘s hardly another way to do this than by decree. No matter what side you stand on in this debate, I hope that we can agree that proposing the implementation of sich a decree in the form of a hardfork that would implement a *trusted committee* with the power to *retroactively alter the blockchain* goes too far. Not only does it effectively erase Bitcoin‘s censorship resistance - it would turn Bitcoin into a permissioned network, and potentially make node runners face criminal liability for not complying with the committee‘s proposed removals. As Luke stated himself, lawyers are already working on public letters to advocate for the sanctioning of illicit content on Bitcoin - Letters which Luke is involved in behind the scenes, but feels are better to stay out of publicly on advice of counsel. Let me be very clear: if Luke‘s hardfork is implemented, it opens the door for law enforcement to request the removal of other data on the Blockchain, making the implementation of KYC/AML technically feasible. I hope that publishing this article will do two things. First, I hope that it makes clear to the people running Knots what the future of Bitcoin is they are supporting. Second, I hope that Core developers will begin to consider the opinions of the people who chose to run Knots. If anything, a majorly harmful hardfork activation should be grounds enough to take their concerns seriously. Burning Bitcoin to the ground over JPEGs is not worth it.
🚨LEAKED: LUKE DASHJR PLANS HARDFORK TO "SAVE BITCOIN" Text messages show the Knots maintainer is considering a hardfork to implement a trusted multisig committee that can retrospectively alter the blockchain to remove illicit content. Full story👇 therage.co/leaked-luke-da…
community support for what? and what could a fork achieve? i hate spam more than the next guy (that's why hashcash even exists) unfortunately i think this whole thing doesn't work because bitcoin is censorship resistant, policy on nodes to filter anything won't help, it's still consensus valid. miners are massively spidering the network, and there are spammers who want to spam and may run libre relay if they're not already, or other permissive node configs. if you soft-fork what do you soft-fork? maximum op return size? or delete op return? they're not even using inscriptions! filter inscriptions, they'll change the format to a polymorphic virus type of thing so you can't easily pattern match, which will increase node overhead as it'll have to process the spam not skip over it. or delete taproot, delete segwit, remove witness discount. none of it does anything they just move to fake pubkeys like they were using before. and the brc20, runes are worse and actually even harder to stop. they can use omni, counter party, RGB, taproot assets. and the latter 3 are client-side validation protocols, so you can't even detect without having your node participate in those protocols. and some of them have tether and other legit things in so then you need to look further into it and make a judgement call what is "legit". and filtering them down to RGB (at least it's lightning compatible) doesn't stop them, and the abandoned UTXO from the 100m rug-pull token sales over the last 28months are continuing apace right now. it also maybe more distasteful to some people to block such client-side validation color coin like things as they are as such bitcoin transactions also. image spam is easier to have agreement to try to filter.
