DATUM Gateway, now under CONVOY's stewardship, has finally released 0.5.0beta, updating it for Bitcoin's new proof-of-work algorithm, and the many features that come with it. 🚀

The Bitcoin network is under attack, and block production has slowed significantly.

The community is preparing mitigations to resolve the situation. In the meantime, attackers are spreading misinformation and advising users to downgrade or switch to insecure node software.

I had Copilot (LLM) write me a patch for pixz to output the entire input tar.pixz data as a new tar with the files sorted*. It seems to work and the code feels sane at a glance, but idk if you want LLM code, so lmk if I should open a PR?

• sorted with 512-byte entries first, small files next, then large files; and within each category, file extension, then pathname; this seems to improve the re-compression by almost 25%

Happy dependence on God day!

Due to time shortages and being behind getting started on it, I'm going to have to be more selective about new features in #Bitcoin Knots 25.

With that in mind, please let me know if there's anything specific you'd want me to make an effort to include.
