The BUIDL day of Bitcoin Japan is here! At 11:20 AM local time, nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqpqzfytz6ktce3av2svlfpl0e79e44tnskxmvlpkcmc7q0xct3qa49sx0v5ym and I will debate the recent OP_RETURN changes and Core v30 release at Tokyo Bitcoin Base. Even though I care deeply about preserving Bitcoin as money, I mostly refrained from debating these topics online. The discourse just wasn't productive, as evidenced by how nostr:nprofile1qqs8dzjwlrgdzltmgmmzg50l3jpr3hxv357hj03rjut5jsfm5ugtv9gn0vuws, nostr:nprofile1qyvhwumn8ghj7ctyw4k8gt338pcxcatn9eek7cmfv9kqz9nhwden5te0v96xcctn9ehx7um5wghxcctwvsqzpmc4r3arsr6q5awh69yn4s68kemh48vmt7s250xak3lu0ratdx5tz27l4q, nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgxfkx0le4p7df0j8v7jwyrvux0y45kl3xapqvwagctlrdv3uyyfv5lgpykq, nostr:nprofile1qy28wumn8ghj7et0wd6xzemjv9kjucm0d5hsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj95crztnev94kj6r0dehx2tnrdakj7qpqjt97tpsul3fp8hvf7zn0vzzysmu9umcrel4hpgflg4vnsytyxwuqxt3hw8, nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgxchnavlnv8t5vky5dsa87ddye0jc8z9eza8ekvfryf3yt649mytvhadgpe and many other great Bitcoiners were being treated. Vilified for focusing on long-standing points of monetary maximalism and not blindly agreeing with the changes. Thus, I'm thankful to have this chance to present views that I think many in the Bitcoin community share. It's the best possible setup, really - having a knowledgeable friend like Nicolas represent the opposing side, and nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6ur4vgh8xetdd9ek7mpwv3jhvtcqyqvlaltl88yk6tlhd7rlwcn6u7g5t0yhrk9tyvs9qpvnnfdfzw7z7uxh02q moderating. While I believe that the consensus of - Bitcoin is money - is still shared by the vast majority (especially now, with recent trendy developments) - there's an increasing gap between the words and the actions. I'm sure we can do better than accepting excuses of "we can't do anything, other than continuing to relax policy limits", labeling people (filteroors, Knotzis, podcasters, etc), and forking community into camps where you have to blindly parrot certain talking points. Luckily, besides the spam of attacking individuals and trying to destroy people's reputations, the debate that has been raging for months has also produced interesting technical proposals that I believe are better alternatives to the current direction. Hopefully, Nicolas and I do a good job of covering those from different angles and build a foundation that's useful for future development. See you in a few hours!

Will be good seeing Kojira, his posts always pop on my feed, thankful nostr:nprofile1qqsyvrp9u6p0mfur9dfdru3d853tx9mdjuhkphxuxgfwmryja7zsvhqpzamhxue69uhhv6t5daezumn0wd68yvfwvdhk6tcpz9mhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejj7qgswaehxw309ahx7um5wghx6mmd9u2mk7fe has implemented translation 😂

My 1-year GitHub contribution streak is complete. Thanks to all of you who helped make it happen ✊🗽 Doing this again for 365 days made me realize a few things. The biggest of all - AI has won. If you're a developer, you have to start integrating AI into your workflow. Google's Gemini 2.5 release in June marked the moment when AI-generated code became better than what an average dev produces. With the recent releases of OpenAI 5 (medium reasoning) and especially Claude 4.5 - it's game over. These models are easily in the top 10 percentiles. And then - if you're not having fun coding right now, you're doing it wrong. It's such a special time to be a developer and play with the available tools. It's all about who you're coding with and what you're building. There's so much demand for quality software that if you don't wake up every day motivated to work, just switch projects. There are plenty of great opportunities for good devs (especially in FOSS!), and more will keep coming as software continues eating the world.

gm, if you have no uncles, you have nothing.

Sorry, but me as guest and nostr:nprofile1qqszn8mnedcaehptk24ssd9p97h6v3hs0jyvlgahshgqltaddttmxjspzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtcghzqhj as organizer can't have you pay for the ticket, zapped Bitcoin back as thanks for all your great work & joining us 🙏

gm, already lost my leg in Hong Kong

Everyone wants to be a rockstar, until it's time to be a rockstar.

Be with those who will seek the truth with you, not lies against you.

GM, WE KEEP CODING UNTIL BITCOIN PAYMENTS ARE AS EASY AND UBIQUITOUS AS THIS.

Awesome to see we're casually zapping millions of sats each day, pleasure doing this with you ladies & gents 🫂

gm, the same way Bitcoin is technology that liberates your money from third-party dependencies, Nostr is technology that liberates your identity from third-party dependencies. Embrace it and free yourself.

gm, on 3 week commit streak on GitHub , just need to survive nostr:nprofile1qqsy4azak2awmy8wdurfnlgj6nm4hextmnju9pz6qs45mszy4dy2hfspzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue07c8lla and not watch $MSTR charts too much... it'll be smooth sailing in November ✊🗽

I'm thinking of writing something similar in C# since it's relatively simple. I'll just create a local queue, which shouldn’t be an issue given the language's performance. Have you exposed your thing over wss:// or is it kept internal?

sry Fishcake, Uncle will always zap ⚡ u
