Time to turn off your bitcoin node? We spent years pretending running a node meant you were "sovereign." You run a node because you believe in Bitcoin. Because you don't trust. Because you verify. But here's the uncomfortable question nobody wants to ask: verify what, exactly? Truth is, you're just following the herd, enforcing rules written by a handful of corporate devs while pretending you're in charge. Maybe it's time to stop running your node blindly and start asking who it's really protecting. Mr21 / AVB called this out a year ago. Should've listened.

Bitlight Wallet Upgraded to v0.0.12.1 We are pleased to inform everyone that Bitlight Wallet has reached a new milestone: Bitcoin mainnet. This progress marks Bitlight Wallet as a fully functional Bitcoin wallet and is our final step towards the RGB protocol mainnet. The RGB protocol is not a blockchain, so strictly speaking, there is no such thing as an RGB mainnet. However, we must work together with Dr. Maxim Maxim Orlovsky and our partners at the LNP/BP Association LNP/BP Labs to complete the audit of the RGB code and ensure the security of RGB assets before pushing the RGB protocol to the mainnet. This choice is a responsible approach for the Bitlight Labs Bitlight Labs⚡️ community, Bitlight Wallet users, and all participants in the RGB ecosystem. As Bitlight Wallet supports the #Bitcoin mainnet, we will launch a Bitcoin mainnet UTXO creation task. Creating UTXOs is a prerequisite for creating RGB20 assets, so we hope to guide everyone in preparing for the RGB mainnet launch through this task. The wind is approaching, and the RGB ship is about to set sail. Make Bitcoin Smart. #RGB #LightningNetwork #BitlightLabs #BitlightWallet #MakeBitcoinSmart #MBS
