2026 BITCOIN WALL CALENDAR ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Rustypuppy

Rustypuppy submitted one work to the Open Source Culture Creator Contest 2 which ended up receiving the most votes overall! Talk about a slam dunk!

"I love creating things, from writing stories to my art passion, mixed media, which is all about the layers and using whatever art supplies will transform the blank canvas into something unique." — Rustypuppy

Apparently the Reduce Data Temporary Soft Fork Release Client that they released (#1327875) is only for testing...

I'm starting to get worried about your mental health; it surely can't be good to focus on this as much as you seem to. I'd say I've been there, and it was a horrible experience. I try to mostly ignore it now. But I also understand that you focusing on this is more or less your work, which wasn't the case for me. Mhh, though spot 🙈

I'm also starting to worry because it sounds like you think this tweet is as dumb as everything else, but I think this is exactly what "release candidate" means: it's meant for testing. I see nothing wrong with this tweet.

In my opinion, you should cut him/her some slack for the failing tests, even when it’s about code we both strongly disagree with.

Hope you're doing well @Scoresby!

You are probably right that I'm spending too much time on this. Best course is usually to ignore it. In my defense, I did ignore all this business about spam and such for a couple years.

But this year has felt like one wackadoodle thing after the other, each more absurd. I keep meaning to put it down and move on to other things, but then here comes some new, next-level horrible idea.

What's the line? Just when I thought I was out, they reel me back in.

I'm hooked. I gotta see how this story ends.

[..] allow archival nodes [..]

Replace archival with pruned and we have the current implementation. Next, someone will say "bitcoin cannot scale, and the current model of pruned and archival node modes exert centralization pressure".

TLDR; it's all been one big circlejerk, again.

Yes, and it's unnecessarily so. The prospect of simply implementing BIP-157 or less simply utreexo will take away most of the bottom line issues. Then they can all move on to having buttsex again, in silence.

What's too slow in your opinion?

69 sats \ 6 replies \ @k00b 14h

Navigation in general is a bit laggy and I can see it in some of the backend dashboards. There's no great reason for anything on the site being that slow other than we haven't spent enough time trying to make them fast.

It's kind of like gaining weight. Simply following your instincts without reigning it in periodically is a recipe for chubby. There's also anomalous load events like gaining weight over the holidays.

I'd wager that I'm a top 10 page navigator and the speed has never bothered me, unless I happen to have a really poor connection.

Faster loading pales in comparison to the joy I'll experience from crossposting.

When we upgraded to LND we experienced a bug: #1317180

We worked around it, but the workaround might be affecting you. I'll look into your specific situation and see if it's something on our end.

If there's a problem on your end if would be a liquidity issue. But if you have enough inbound, the problem is on our end.

Soon Zeus will release v0.12 that will come with NWC server and LND sub-accounts. So after that you can easily run a "central" Zeus node or multiple embedded nodes on a tablet at home (in persistent mode, as a private LN node) and have multiple NWC and sub-accounts used in other devices with Zeus, for family members and friends.

This is another level of using LN

It was the kind of thing that’d crack me up. Ahahah! It actually made this whole scam feel fair. But honestly, I don’t think it’s gonna happen, because @k00b already said he’s not touching the code because of some bet. And to be real, there probably isn’t a simple or quick fix for this.

I already threw out a solution, but I don’t know if it’s easy to implement, and honestly, it should’ve been like this from the start. The idea is: don’t drop the item straight into the main table. Use a temporary table for unpaid items. Once the item is paid, then it gets inserted to the main table.
