00:44 <bitcoin-git> [bitcoin] meshcollider merged pull request #22217: refactor: Avoid wallet code writing node settings file (master...pr/ipc-wset) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22217

08:41 <bitroach> I have some questions regarding Bitcoin development

08:41 <bitroach> does Bitcoin core developers get paid by Blockstream inc?

08:42 <bitroach> Blockstream Inc's payees merged segwit and now they merging taproot too into the Bitcoin core software

08:42 <bitroach> isn't Bitcoin supposed to be independent from corporations and governments?

08:44 <bitroach> I believe that Bitcoin is in danger, number 1, it is controlled by a very few people when there are way better engineers in the world, number 2, these so called "developers" working for various corporations not only to Blockstream Inc, example Amazon and Google

09:19 <meshcollider> bitroach: you should move to #bitcoin, but most of the devs aren't employed by blockstream, no. There's a big variety in developer funding (volunteers, grants, sponsorship, patreon, employment, etc.)

09:19 <bitroach> that is a lie

09:20 <bitroach> segwit and taproot is merged to Bitcoin core because devs working for blockstream inc

09:21 <bitroach> #bitcoin is censored, in fact all bitcoin related channel, forums even github is censored

09:21 <bitroach> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsVR1o1Gi7U

09:22 <bitroach> I'm a bitcoiner since 2011 and I see what is going on

09:23 <bitroach> I have all right to be outraged about this blockstream crap and the propaganda on the Bitcoin repository on GitHub

09:24 <earnestly> A simple 'REEE' would have sufficed

09:34 <bitroach> basically with segwit and now with taproot blockstream totally taken over the Bitcoin core repository on GitHub

09:34 <bitroach> nobody asked for either segwit nor taproot

09:34 <bitroach> both forced on us

09:35 <bitroach> they trolled Bitcoin Core

09:35 <bitroach> little bit of money here and there and all developers agree to merge crap and destroy Bitcoin

09:36 <bitroach> why segwit or taproot can't be a fork outside of Bitcoin Core?

09:36 <bitroach> is blockstream unable to fork a github repository?

09:36 <bitroach> they not forked the repository, they paid out millions of dollars to merge they crap to Bitcoin core

09:37 <bitroach> but before that happened Gavin Andresen was kicked out from GitHub

09:37 <bitroach> Gavin Andresen's access to the GitHub repository revoked and all kinds of shit merged to Bitcoin Core without any vote whatsoever

09:47 <bitroach> I just compiled Bitcoin Core on another server I own with --disable-wallet and --without-gui yet when I go to the .bitcoin folder there is a folder called wallets

09:48 <bitroach> instead of sucking up to blockstream the software should be cleared from all the crap blockfuckers added

09:48 <michaelfolkson> bitroach: If you get kicked from #bitcoin you can move to another channel or set up your own channel. But this definitely isn't the right channel for general ranting.

09:49 <bitroach> I don't give a shit about IRC

09:49 <bitroach> I getting kicked from these channels because I own the bitcoin.forum domain if you link https://bitcoin.forum you will be immediately kicked from these channels

09:50 <bitroach> you can't link a bitcoin forum without approval from the motherfuckers who think they own Bitcoin

09:51 <bitroach> let me absolutely clear, none of you welcome on the Bitcoin Forum and I find any of you (talking about the ops on these channels) will be immediately kicked banned from the Bitcoin Forum

09:52 <bitroach> if any ops trolling the forum I will publish a topic and will call Bitcoin Core developers terrorists

09:52 <bitroach> American anti-chinese anti-russian motherfuckers pushing for propaganda even on Bitcoin related IRC channels

09:53 <bitroach> you can clearly see that by linking my Bitcoin Forum

09:53 <michaelfolkson> Please leave now as otherwise you will be banned

09:53 <bitroach> the forum is not even open but already censored

09:53 <bitroach> who the fuck cares?

09:53 <bitroach> fucking American pigs

09:54 <earnestly> Oh it's Zoltan again

09:54 <bitroach> always Zoltan

09:54 <bitroach> forever

09:54 <bitroach> ;)

09:56 <bitroach> well, turned out that Zoltan controls the Bitcoin Forum, keep bullshitting and each of you will be doxed in a nice topic

09:56 <bitroach> I'm definitely going to call Bitcoiners to abandon all Bitcoin related IRC channels because run by fucktards who censor it

09:57 <bitroach> why the https://bitcoin.forum domain is censored? Is not even open!

09:58 <bitroach> I'm not theymos bud, I don't hide and certainly not scamming and stealing 11,000 Bitcoin

09:59 <bitcoin-git> [bitcoin] n-thumann opened pull request #22768: script: Add commits signed with sipas expired key to allow-revsig-commits (master...add_sipa_expired_key_signed_commits) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22768

10:03 <bitroach> I'm open for helping Bitcoin Core Developers by allowing them to join the Bitcoin Forum, Bitcoin Core Developers have exclusive right to post and moderate the Development category on the forum. At one point I considered to approve all signups with @bitcoincore.org emails and grant them developer badges, but after that my domain is censored on IRC I changed my mind pretty quickly. currently the only person I respect is luke-jr,

10:03 <bitroach> he is the only mentally stable developer

10:06 <bitroach> I even offered over 20% donation to Bitcoin Core from all the forum related income, I talked with luke-jr and I would only pay to him nobody else, we didn't agree in the terms yet I just offered a cut

10:07 <bitroach> funny isn't? I offering thousands of dollars + working on a Bitcoin Forum and I get attacked, banned and censored on IRC

10:08 <bitroach> Just to make it clear, I allow Bitcoin Cash to be on the Bitcoin Forum, why would I censor Roger Ver and Kim DotCom?

10:08 <bitroach> Bitcoin Cash is still Bitcoin, possibly even more than the current Bitcoin Core

10:10 <bitroach> both Bitcoin Core discussions and Bitcoin Cash discussions are welcome to the Bitcoin Forum, I'm only going to censor those who in any way advocate for Blockstream

10:11 <bitroach> Artifical Intelligence also deployed on the Bitcoin Forum so trolls has no chance, they post will be hidden by the AI soon as they click the submit button

10:13 <bitroach> the current Bitcoin environment like r/Bitcoin the IRC channels like this one as well the GitHub repo and the theymos and cobrabitcoin run Bitcoin sites are brutally censored and extremely centralized in the hands of a few, I'm the person who going to change that and nobody can do absolutely nothing to stop what is coming

10:20 <bitroach> I open the forum soon as I published the Bitcoin paper in markdown (I did just had some issue with the database what I fixed) also by default all users has end-to-end encrypted PMs enabled which based on BIP-39, PMs can't be scanned by the AI as you imagine because of the strong encryption

10:20 <bitroach> the markdown files from the GitHub repo can be published pretty easily on the forum which is what going to happen

10:22 <bitroach> oh and youtube videos also supported (if you reach a specific user level)

10:22 <bitroach> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq57BjBVq7o ;)

10:23 <bitcoin-git> [bitcoin] MarcoFalke opened pull request #22769: fuzz: Use LIMITED_WHILE instead of limit_max_ops (master...2108-fuzzRefactor) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22769

10:28 <bitroach> I can add Github integration to the Bitcoin Forum pretty easily, lets see how you guys will like the forum first ;)

10:38 <muhblockchain> earnestly: LOL. anyway, dunno why you don't +b that permanent troll - Zoltan - on first sight

11:26 <muhblockchain> imagine being bad at folder wallets/. after people asked for multiwallet for years. Thanks for coding that in, btw :)

12:52 <laanwj> gah

14:15 <TallTim> ...and people wonder why I loathe Roger Ver. He has disciples like that ranter.

14:16 <TallTim> btw, Umbrel OS is kinda neat. Running a node now.

14:50 <laanwj> umbrel looks neat, haven't used it yet

14:52 <laanwj> i like the idea of a user friendly unified remote node ui, seems to fill a gap for people using nodes on single board computers like rpis

15:04 <prayank> laanwj: Are these ever discussed before? 1. Bitcoin Core web console like i2p has a webpage at 127.0.0.1:7070. We could add lot of thing in it that are normally rejected for qt. Example: Mempool charts and other charts (basics) 2. Plugins for qt like Electrum

15:53 <laanwj> take a look at umbrel, i'd say

15:54 <laanwj> but mempool charts "aren't rejected for qt", such plots are welcome in the debug window

15:56 <prayank> I like Umbrel. It's good. Still when I opened that i2pd web console, my first feeling was wow we could do something similar for Core.

15:57 <laanwj> it's out of scope for core imo

15:58 <prayank> Okay

15:58 <laanwj> also, programs like that already exist, no need to do our own clone which will likely be worsely maintained because we're already spread very thin

15:59 <laanwj> sorry to so often be a naysayer for features, at this point it's very important to delimit scope of the project

16:01 <bitcoin-git> [bitcoin] mzumsande opened pull request #22772: refactor: hasher cleanup (follow-up to 19935) (master...202108_hasher_cleanup) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22772

16:02 <laanwj> i think what projects like umbrel do right is to treat core as a component, not as something that should absorb or include all the other functionality, they make it more user friendly by offering things like web guis and a way to install and manage everything bitcoin related as a suite

16:05 <prayank> I understand every feature requests can't be included. Just don't want to keep things in my mind and forget which might help the project. And I love contributing to Core. Sorry for some misunderstanding and my issues earlier with some PRs. Infact most of the devs are humble and help each other.

16:05 <laanwj> as for a mempool stats chart in the qt gui, there is an open PR for this see https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui/pull/108

16:06 <prayank> Yeah there are 2 more I guess and we had some NACKs there. I think it's sorted but nobody working right now

16:07 <laanwj> i'm not against including it in the GUI, i haven't seen the code and don't know how impactful it is to the rest of the code though

16:08 <laanwj> but lets move GUI discussion to #bitcoin-core-gui
