Perhaps also useful context:

  • 4 consumer wallets support miniscript (Liana, nunchuk, keeper, Bitcoin safe)
  • 6 hardware signers support miniscript (coldcard, ledger, jade, krux, Spector DIY, and BitBox)

All of these companies have rolled this support out to users who are actively relying on it on mainnet (some years ago).

Ok, so this was written in 2016, and he seems upset over small blocks and RBF, declaring the project as failed as a result of it. But we are now in 2026, and Bitcoin is going strong, though in a recent rough patch. Just goes to show that no one can predict the future, no matter how involved you are with the project right now.

I've observed the last war and the current one (and some minor ones), and the similarities in aggressor behavior are striking. I'm not really worried though, wasn't back then either.

The market picks the winners and losers and there is no one that can truly manipulate it. Jihan tried and failed last time.

Didn't work for me. The page with the highlight loads for a second then auto-redirects to another page.
