They dont sell them.  It's bitcoin native names.  Anyone can make one.  If you use one of their wallets they might charge you a slightly higher fee.  But just make your own tx.  And you own that name forever, according to the spec.  We've been missing names on bitcon for ages.  They actually stumbled upon some innovation.  You format the OP_RETURN according to the spec, and you get to own the character string if you are first.  This is useful for a lot of things, including with nostr. 

 I don't get it tbh. What is this spec called so I can try to understand it? 

 This is just another form of nfts / inscriptions / scams. It’s a collectible. Oh, but “it’s on the blockchain!” It’s irrelevant. The only thing that makes a utxo worth anything is the underlying btc that can be spent. Any thing attached to it is just noise filling up block space. 

 I forked the spec and took all the best names so I can sell them too. 

 Wise to assume everything is an attack until proved otherwise.  Let's keep thinking adversarially.  Thanks!  Luckily, I think this one is only 5 blocks. 

 I see the "it's prunable so it's okay" argument all the time. People don't realize that we NEED full nodes that aren't pruned.... if majority of nodes get pruned the network will eventually die.  

 Yep, thanks for presenting a good argument.  That's the only way we can make bitcoin the best it can be.  More civil on nostr than on X!  I'm generally strongly against spamming the blockchain, especially with assinine inscriptions  I view OP_RETURNs as a more nuanced thing.  I was orginally against OP_RETURN when everyone else was for them, until they justify a use case.  Names on bitcoin might be that use case.  I can see utility in my applications, let's say I want to eliminate spammers and give users their preferred name, an OP_RETURN can give a (nostr) user proof of existence, and some skin in the game.  I remain open to facts and logic.  Thanks! 

 You don’t need the btc blockchain for this. Encryption, alone, is enough. This is why nostr works without any kind of dependency. This is a total scam.

 Thanks, didnt know this, I thought it was the next season character shortening.  Lucky it's only 5 blocks!  I will read more.

Proof of stake

Do u know these are all synonymous with scam? 

 This has been put on the internet too

 Did you read the paper?  

 Not worth it with all those filthy scam words on the main page.

My time is too precious.

 And on @SN 

 💩coiners, all the way down. 

 The stakes are the knowledge we gain and the yield is the friends we make along the way 

 It’s using bitcoin to back up PoS chains and you get paid back in PoS coins, not bitcoin. Except right now. Apparently you can lock in now but can’t stake yet so I don’t get the point. Either a lot of people fell for this or something in the code fucks the mempool with only a small amount of these “staking” activities.

 Hysterical...

"Do I get rewards for staking?
No. This is a locking-only phase without a PoS chain. There is no PoS staking reward nor incentives for participation." 

 Babylon huh? I wonder where the yield comes from 🤔

 Idk much about staking, but it always seems like a “get something for nothing” scheme, which never works out 

 🤣 bull run imminent = confirmed!
