• The diyhpluswiki repository was updated with cleaned-up transcripts of Marco Falke’s 2018 Scaling Bitcoin talk on “Bitcoin Toolchain, Unit Testing, and Deterministic Builds,” and with a new transcript of Nadav Kohen’s 2019 Lightning Conference presentation on “Payment Points,” both now linked from diyhpluswiki.

• Discussion centered on the fragmented state of open-source Bitcoin libraries in Python: maaku’s legacy “python-bitcoin” (PyPI namesquatter, unmaintained for ~5 years) versus petertodd’s widely-used “python-bitcoinlib,” and the newer “python-bitcointx” fork at https://github.com/Simplexum/python-bitcointx.

• maaku offered kanzure push access to the dormant “python-bitcoin” PyPI package, expressing a desire to abandon Python entirely, while kanzure noted that “python-bitcoinlib” is nonetheless used in production despite similar maintenance issues.

• A brief aside linked to Paul D. Spudis’s talk “The Value of the Moon,” flagged as emblematic of a resurgent “retro space future” narrative.

• No substantive technical or experimental content on transhumanism, BCI, or biohacking was recorded in this day’s log; the conversation remained focused on cryptocurrency tooling and archival documentation.
