Even if we survive this attack by Core30, this situation where I personally have to save Bitcoin every few years needs to stop. Bitcoin cannot survive if it's dependent on one man. Others need to step up more.

testing zaps for this note… we made six attempts to⚑zap this note, at nochemorado@ecash.love, over a period of 14 minutes. six of the zaps were successfully paid... please check for 6 satoshis received. problem: we found that your lightning address server **did not* properly produce zap receipts, and/or didn't send the zap receipts to the relays specified in the zap. (the zap spec requires that the zap receipts be sent to the relays specified in the zap.) this means a nostr user who zaps you might not see a number appearing next to the ⚑ icon after zapping.... if you wanted to fix this... you could try getting a free rizful lightning address -- ... if u get it set up, pls reply here so we can do this ⚑zap test again.
I’m truly grateful for everything you’ve contributed to Bitcoin throughout the years. I’m not sure exactly how I can contribute, but I know that carrying forward the lessons and insights you’ve shared will keep me involved in this space and might even help pave the way for future generations.
If you think Luke personally saves bitcoin, or you think it would fail without him, you’d then have to be an absolute moron to use something so fragile to store your savings. Of course I don’t think that’s the case. My guess is this is just an attempt to anchor your emotions to a savior figure so you’ll follow where he goes next. View quoted note β†’
The Bitcoin catch-22 : programmable money that can't be entrusted to programmers, cuz they can't learn that Bitcoin is more important than whatever their brilliant idea is. Or tragedy of the commons : a whole community thinks someone will for something, so no one does. Or just plain retardation : Chinese chick gets to be lead maintainer by being a dude's girlfriend. Its like no one in Bitcoin has spent 5 minutes studying China, cuz if they had, they'd know that's exactly how China gets access to stuff. Gold is looking better and better to me.
