Welcome to the world's first Nostr-enabled mining pool! 🏊

Since the 256 Foundation's Telehash, I've added more Nostr integrations to the Hydra Pool Hashdash, along with a leaderboard! 🏆

Feature requests welcome.

🔗 https://dash.256f.org

Y'all saw me build Mario Kart: Double Sats in public and take it to events globally. I've been met with an overwhelmingly positive response, and now I need your support.

Asking for help is always vulnerable and scary, but if my work has inspired you, let's team up to push education forward! 🍄

Please consider supporting me in bringing joy, knowledge, and of course bitcoin to the people who need it the most! ⚡🌍

Earnest question:

If we adopt BIP177 (which I already have) and start expressing sats as integers with the ₿ symbol on the left, what’s the best way to handle millisats? Showing them like ₿0.001 feels too confusing right now.

Any ideas?

I have upgraded Mario Kart: Double Sats to reflect the changes outlined in BIP 177. 🫡

i think we should rename sats to bitcoin

and bitcoin to mega bitcoin

(i am serious)

i really love jq

(for json)

It’s rad/mystical to me how Zeus allows for circular payments but lncli does not. I love it

😍

My jaw dropped

Sometimes I wish I was a raver. It seems like such a fun subculture. And the people seem extra friendly.

But I do not like the music. 🤔

Why I'm for loosening the OP_RETURN limits ⏎

• In practice, OP_RETURN is already unconstrained: see Carman's OP_RETURN bot or Portland's Slipstream.

• Encoding arbitrary data via OP_RETURN is far more responsible than doing so in witness data, as it's 4x more costly.

• OP_RETURNs are prunable and do not pollute the UTXO set, making them vastly preferable to faux outputs that burden every node indefinitely.

• Mining non-standard transactions that bypass mempools undermines decentralized transaction propagation, disrupts fee estimation, and increases block propagation latency (especially when compact block construction fails due to missing transactions).

• This latency disproportionately impacts smaller miners and encourages direct submission to large, well-connected players, widening the profitability gap and increasing centralization.

• Layer 2 protocols are especially sensitive to fee miscalculations, making transparent and measurable fee behavior essential to their reliability.

While I share the distaste many have expressed toward tokens, inscriptions, and BitVM (when used as a casino), I care deeply about minimizing harm to bitcoin’s base layer. Allowing larger, standardized OP_RETURNs is a pragmatic step in that direction.

Agree that satoshis should be renamed bitcoin.

Think of it like a 100 million for 1 stock split.

I regret to inform you all that moving forward I have reduced my Damus default (non-custodial) zap amount from 1,337 to 21 sats per zap. ⚡️

Mario Kart: Double Sats was a success at the grand opening of the Tokyo Bitcoin Base 🍄

PRESIDIO BITCOIN HACKATHON 💾

Sorry I couldn't fit my whole npub on there.

Who's going to come play?! 🍄

MARIO KART: DOUBLE SATS!! 🍄

I'm premiering my latest Lightning game at the Lightning Fair at the new Tokyo Bitcoin Base on April 26th, and I'd love to see you there!

Compete against other Mario and Lightning lovers to win sats streamed in real-time. ⚡️ https://m.primal.net/QKHh.png

https://m.primal.net/Pkmo.png Update: Okay. Mario Kart: Double Sats now streams you sats in real time for every second you're in first place. This may be the coolest thing I've ever seen. 😭

Thoughts:

• Writing Python is so easy, it feels like cheating
• I don't vibe code—writing out every line is too much fun (plus, vibe coding can cause issues later...? Also, AI can't fully figure out stuff like making this game yet)
• Sending glitches to the game over Lightning (like I did with Super Mario Sats) I have not figured out yet, and I'm not sure how practical it will be
• Who wants to play this with me?! In person first before I put it online

Update for those of you who are interested in Mario Kart: Double Sats:

I have identified the correct memory locations of the players' lap count and position in the race. And I figured out how to access this memory outside of the emulator, using Python. This means I can plug it into my LND node and https://m.primal.net/Pkmo.png get the game streaming sats in real time. This is one of the coolest, funnest, and nerdiest things I've ever done. Will have a working demo this week.

What should I name my zap-hack of Mario Kart Double Dash?

(Once I finish it, it’ll stream you sats for every second you’re in first place, the audience can place bets on who they think will win, and power-ups can be sent over Lightning to glitch the game.)

Cypherpunks write code.

Heatpunks balance load.

Hi friends. Who is in New York (or can get there)? I am hosting a party at

this Sunday, and I'd love to see you there. Perhaps we will celebrate $100k?

Regardless, we'll play a Lightning Trivia game! Come hang!

it’s now officially 💚 bitcoin brat girl summer 💚

As promised, here’s my Lightning Server repo – it implements your Lightning Address and blows up your phone with push notifications anytime you receive a payment! Zaps (NIP-57) are integrated along with some other fun features… Oh, and you can set your address to an emoji, e.g., ⚡️@dplus.plus.

I hope this helps someone; I have been working hard on it! 🖤

I just spent several days making a custom LNURL server for my bitcoin bestie

so that he can have 🇯🇲@islandbitcoin.com as his Lightning Address 😂

Will open source everything soon! It has zap receipts too… 😏

To whoever just sent 1.2 m sats to my node via keysend, you should know this had me ugly crying in the shower tonight. 😭

Lightning is working! ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

If you see me zapping myself, no you didn’t.

Jk. I’m testing my zapplications.

Zapper is my Nostr zap receipts key. As you can see, Nostr doesn’t really have a way of verifying zap amounts. So I zapped this post… a lot. ☺️

My nostr zap receipt app is finally ready for deployment! It took a little longer than expected. 😃⚡️

What is the best hosting environment for persistent applications? I LOVE writing code but try to keep DevOps and network administration to an absolute bare minimum.

Render? DigitalOcean?

Best bitcoin podcast episodes to listen to on my 26 hour drive? 🚗

Hello World. Testing from my own Nostr app.

WoS’s departure from the US is fabulous motivation for me to FINALLY add zaps to my LNURL server! ⚡️

Now to figure out how…

I also made the Lightning Address 👑@dplus.plus for my fren

so that he will feel like a king 🤗
