Signal BIP 110 this summer on your Bitcoin node. It's happening at block 961632, right now we're at block height 954260. There's lots of cool DIY nodes you can make, or run something through a cloud service. Just have fun with it.

Was it you sir who asked, if we are protecting our Bitcoin on a secure blockchain, why are Bitcoin companies still storing our personal private data on a database in a silo? KYC data needs to move on chain…who is going to build?
