I posted a full writeup for the #32406 merge decision on the PR. These changes go into effect in v30, which is scheduled for release in October. The PR changes the defalt value of -datacarriersize. You will still be able to use -datacarrier and -datacarriersize options in v30,

Honestly I can’t tell if “killing Satoshi” is going to be a film focusing on the underdog and incredible creation of Bitcoin against global finance, or a film portraying it as an evil, shadowy creation. We’ll see 🤷🏼‍♂️ variety.com/2025/film/news…

A reminder again to my progressive friends. People you don’t like will use bitcoin. People you don’t like will run bitcoin companies. Just like people you don’t like use dollars and own homes, or own Apple stock. It doesn’t mean you don’t use dollars or buy a house!

I just want as many normal, average folk using Bitcoin as possible. For savings, for better money, to get some power and control back in their lives that’s being stripped from them in so many other areas. It’ll help them learn about that too. That’s it. That’s the goal.

Nothing embodies the ethos of a progressive bitcoiner more
