He’s out of his fuckin mind


So many lightning companies are getting rekt right now by compliance, I know first hand.

I think rug risk is up a LOT right now.

If you just keep a balance in a custodial wallet, for zapping, keep it to an absolute minimum and be ready to truly lose it.

If you have more than you want to lose, but not enough to justify on chain fees, consider swapping them for L-BTC on boltz.exchange

I actually don’t know what you’re trying to argue here 🫡


I am :)


You have it very wrong. But that’s ok!

Miners are needed for the security of the network. By paying them more they are incentivized to grow and become stronger. Anybody has the ability to mine and collect these fees.


Miners are making more on fees than the block reward 😳

Last block mined was 13.56 BTC total

Question to bitcoin devs or other techies here.

Have there been thoughts about temporary soft forks?

In other words, suppose there is some potential change to bitcoin that there is some difference of opinion in even though it seems solid overall. Rather than permanently tightening the rules (which potentially requires a hard fork to undo, depending on the change), is there a case to consider a temporary soft fork instead? Eg it becomes active for the next 100,000 blocks and then will revert to the prior state for future transactions after that point unless renewed again, temporarily or maybe permanently that time depending on consensus at that point?


This is the future unless the normies wake up. They are being herded like cattle

I will still share content on their platform at times as I believe it’s worthwhile getting bitcoin only content on the largest crypto000 platform.

However, all documentaries, longer videos and educational/how to content will be published on my channels including Youtube.

Naturally I will be reaching out to sponsors. They must be bitcoin-first companies as well as products or services that I use on a day to day basis.

I’m also going to try to crack TikTok. I want to reach more normies in 2024.

Thank you for your support, Nostr frens.

The only way to fix is running your own node. I run 2. I wouldn’t be running any if I had 365TB of storage a year to pay for


Yep, there are already thousands of nodes in DCs. So yes this would make this problem worse.


Those 10tb hdd new are 250 a pop and you need 36 of those a year to store 1 year of data. And that’s assuming you have no back ups


What you’re proposing would only move more nodes to data centers so if you’re acknowledging this is already the case why would we want to worsen this symptom?


That would only drive home the need for a leaner blockchain wouldn’t it?


You found a single refurbished hard drive, and that’s not including the NAS hardware needed to properly store this much data at the bandwidth needed here.


A 36 TB NAS costs $1200 so you’ll need about 10 of those a year to do what you’re proposing here 🤣

nostr:note1dcgk2uy3tavp0eg9azrj27lw2xvv78r55rz9zt82kuep9xzz7elqyuthtg


Not quite. The largest game you list here is 250gb.. if the blocks were 4GB+ (larger than the block size of BSV) this would take 60 blocks to take up that much storage space or 6 hours. In a single day you’ll use 1 TB of space. In a single year you’ll use 365 TB. And at 4GB blocks you aren’t beating lightning on fees or speed. You also aren’t bringing any hash on board because nobody wants to use your shitcoin poorly thought out hard fork.


Maybe in 50 years when a GB is equal to todays Kb in cost we can talk


4GB+ blocks will be more expensive to maintain node infrastructure than worrying about $7 in fees


Unfortunately it seems it will be a while until people catch on to this lightning thing. Still early


Right now BSV has about 60 nodes because it’s expensive af to store that data. So you’re fine with less than that?


“You don’t need lightning when the main chain can handle that amount of transactions”

Big blocks can’t handle that amount of transactions, unless you’re suggesting we make blocks even bigger than BSV/BCH to try to compete with BTC L2?


Lightning can handle far more transactions than BSV and BCH on L1 so I don’t think this is take based on facts


If they can’t afford it they can wait for fees to come down like everyone else it’s not like fees are always high.  Open you channels when fees are low is pretty common knowledge. Or use custodial services if you want low fee and fast onboarding I don’t know what to tell you. Nobody is building lightning on big blocks either 🤣


In 2020 lightning wasn’t even a well functioning L2 and now there is so much functionality and options for different levels of users it’s insane. People don’t appreciate how far we’ve come and how we are optimizing Bitcoin already without changing the protocol.


I've noticed I'm getting a lot more activity from your mom


Which is a good thing. Less change the better, build bells and whistles on L2


Lower overall network*


Yup precisely.. “Block space is so filled we’ve failed! People actually see a reason to pay a high fee here L1 clearly has issues! Let’s shoot ourselves in the foot, keep making blocks larger so we will overall network participation and demand, problem solved!


The electric bills * for the mining. Aka there needs to be an incentive to mine or there is not a strong security model. Hashrate is low on big block chains for a reason. Demand for smaller block is clear because it results in higher fees that pay miners more.


What do the fees look like on big block chains today? 1 sat/vb isn’t paying the bills


What happens when block reward goes to zero over the next 100 years. Do the miners just decide to run perpetually and make zero money back? What is your long term strategy here if you believe fees are the boogie man?


Ordinals and inscriptions are more of a social attack vector than anything. They make people think we need to shoot our selves in the foot and make blocks bigger to house them. How about we just let those people spamming the network HFSP and eventually watch them own nothing and be happy bc they spent all their money on JPEG inscribed sats


We already won the block size wars. We will win again when the next bunch think making blocks bigger will be a winning formula.


You act like these degens aren’t gonna be poor in like 2 months. This is high time preference thinking


Decentralization is negatively correlated to block size. So what amount of decentralization are you willing to give up on L1 because of your issues with a few years of L2 development? Wait 5 years and see how you feel then about L2


EXACTLY👏


There’s no reason for changing the base chain and making storage cost higher for node runners. Put bells and whistles on L2. Or try your luck with a hard fork


Think for yourself and not with any group. You can only be divided by dogma not by critical thinking


Any further change to base chain needs to occur in a dire situation


Attacks cost money. And this specific attack vector makes the network stronger by paying miners more, so depends on how you look at it

This looks like a solo mining pool? So it’s not comparable unless I’m reading this wrong.


I agree that we need to protect the main use case of Bitcoin as money, but changes to the protocol in order to do this need to be taken very seriously and we need to think if it’s long term needed at all.

The majority of people that are using Bitcoin for data storage are trying to resell what they are inscribing for a profit. The hype will eventually die off and so will the expectation of profit. If the free market can solve our problems, doing nothing may be the best thing we can do.

There’s a small minority of these people actually trying to store data in an immutable way, but as NOSTR as a protocol grows I think these people will naturally move here to do this.

Not if you want privacy and don’t want a company with forward access to all of your addresses used


The OP_RETURN discussion is not new and dates back to 2014 when Bitcoin Core 0.9.0 was released with the OP_RETURN policy included which was intended to discourage more egregious forms of spam. At that time, 40 bytes was the default max datacarriersize limit across all node implementations; this was and still is sufficiently large for tying data to a transaction (32 bytes for a hash and 8 bytes for a unique identifier). Core subsequently increasing the default to 80 bytes was an entirely voluntary decision and in no way contradicts the design objective that OP_RETURN creates a provably-prunable output to minimise damage caused by data storage schemes, which have always been discouraged as abusive. There are also other good technical reasons which I have chosen to retain the lower default in Bitcoin Knots, and no justification for increasing it.

It is not my intention, nor that of my team at
nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze, to filter coinjoins. These present an innovative tool for increasing Bitcoin’s privacy and, when constructed properly, coinjoins can easily stay within the OP_RETURN limit (indeed, there is no reason for them to have *any* OP_RETURN data at all). I have some ideas on how to alleviate the recent issue where some coinjoin transactions were flagged as spam from Knots v25, and I am willing, with the full resources of my team, to work collaboratively on a solution in good faith.

Bitcoin does and always has allowed nodes to set filters based on multiple sets of criteria and Knots v25’s defaults are IMO what is best for Bitcoin at this time. Others may disagree and that is ok. They are free to (and should) run their own nodes - it is good for Bitcoin to have more people running nodes, including miners, and there should be a natural diversity in node policies.

Open source?


Ok it looks like Luke has confirmed this is a filtering based on the OP_RETURN byte limit. So it’s not specifically filtering coinjoins, they just happen to be over the 42 byte limits for whatever reason.

Both decisions seem odd to me, Luke says there’s no reason for using that many bytes, Samourai says the byte limit has been 80 for ages (which it has).

So now I’m curious what that data is for in this scenario. And why either side cares about this. Seems like both have the capacity to fix this if the excessive OP_RETURN data isn’t even necessary. Also curious if this is something that specifically distinguishes whirlpool transactions from other types (which there might be numerous other ways that this happens), just because it would seem beneficial to look as inconspicuous as possible rather than stand out in whatever way their use of that may imply.

In other words, this seems like something either party could fix potentially but knowing how stubborn they both are, it might not change.


Interesting analysis thanks Guy


Thank you sir I thought this was today 🤣🫡


WHAT THE FUCK IS GOIN ON


I can appreciate you giving everyone a fair opinion. But Knots is filtering out any transactions with more than 42 bytes after the op_return and Samouri is 46 bytes.


Samourai confirmed which was enough evidence for me to get spooked

As the gossip model for relays gains wider adoption in 2024, we can expect significant advancements in the decentralization and resilience of the Nostr protocol. This will shift the focus away from relying on a small number of dominant relays, leading to a more robust and resilient network.

Client developers who have not yet explored the potential of the gossip model are strongly encouraged to consider integrating it into their development plans for early 2024. By embracing this innovative approach, they can contribute to a future where Nostr operates as a truly decentralized and censorship-resistant network.

Beyond increasing decentralization, the implementation of the gossip model significantly contributes to the long-term sustainability of the Nostr protocol too. This is achieved by alleviating the burden on relay operators, who no longer require substantial resources to maintain large-scale infrastructure. As a result, we can expect the emergence of smaller, more cost-effective relays becoming the norm within the Nostr ecosystem.

https://youtu.be/_QyKN45KpLs?si=BOIZvnHhftl8Kh6Z


For sure, but even so.. this doesn’t tell us how they plan to attack with the 3M or so coins in institutional hands


And you think they haven’t been creating propaganda against Bitcoin yet? They have been for 15 years. If their goal is “banning p2p” they are going to be in for a wake up call. They would first need to try controlling 51% of hash power, which at this point will prove very difficult if not impossible. Then by the time they get control btc will fork to ignore that hash signature and all of those machines will be useless. All just to short term attack the network? Again this just doesn’t sound logical or economically feasible at all. They can spread lies all they want and collude with regulators but these regulators only have jurisdiction in tiny pockets. BTC will move where it is favored, it’s that simple. Look at the China ban in 2020 and you’ll understand and attack on Bitcoin just splitters it into a thousand new enemies


Also if the “attack vector” is making only custodial Btc legal wouldn’t they want to prove it works well?


And if they did collude like FTX did with market makers we already know what happens


Right but aren’t those the property of the trust? For instance how would a black rock ETF use another companies bitcoin? That makes no sense


What’s your source? These trackers are used in onchain analysis and large exchanges are pretty well tracked


Grayscale uses Coinbase, and yes Coinbase has known addresses that are tracked and accounted for.


Exactly we have proof of what happens when shady shit happens with exchanges. They’ll get rekt if they try anything. It amazes me we are worried about a new custodial player when this is all we’ve had for the last 6 years. Gemini, FTX, and binance failed but “black rock is going to destroy us all” it just shows a clear lack of understanding of the hardness of bitcoin


You can’t control price with an ETF that needs to prove its backings. Plus the worst that they can do is short term sell which would just give people an opportunity to buy the dip. I think you don’t realize bitcoin is a Hydra and if you cut 1 head off 2 grow back. It’s open source software, and it’s not going anywhere. It becomes stronger when attacked


Ever heard of a vpn and p2p exchanges?


It’s always “institutional adoption is an attack” but never breaking that down in a logical way. Any time I see this I say “how?” And there’s never a logical answer


I think speculating that there’s a way they’ll collude with regulators to stop Bitcoin without actually thinking of a way to do this is pointless conjecture


Coins not sats


No I know for a fact there’s only 2 mil sats left that aren’t being self custodied. It’s public information 🤣


And what is their way? Making self custody illegal? First of all that can’t be enforced. Millions of self custodied Bitcoin will be moved to individual brain wallets.


They only have about 2 mil BTC on exchange to play with. So I day good luck, the more they buy, the more retail demand will come too

Imagine a company shipping grains of rice in boxes.

One day, a charlatan fools some rice consumers into thinking that rice grains are tastier if first painstakingly ordered by their texture, shape, and color before being packed into the boxes and shipped.

As a result of this procedure, every rice consumer now pays a higher price per shipped box. At least as long as the charlatan is still able to fool people.

The major rice shipping companies are still happy because they get paid more per box. As long as people still choose to consume rice instead of something else. The charlatan is very good at scamming people and even dresses up as a wizard to show how magic his new rice-ordering procedure is.

Suddenly, a new rice shipping company enters the market, willing to call out the charlatan's bullshit and start shipping rice the old-fashioned way, without the pointless rice-grain ordering.

They point out that rice will be more popular in general if normal rice consumers aren't forced to pay a premium because of the whims of a scammer.

The charlatan and his followers call this refusal to play along with the scheme "censorship." They claim that ordering the grains is a "technological advancement."

In the end, the wizard and his rice ordering don't age very well, and people start preferring the new shipping company over the old one.

“Save us Janet Yellen, you’re our only hope” they say


I’m going to be on an ordinals panels as one of the people who is counter arguing the claim that they are good for bitcoin. I decided to brush up on the technicals on how inscriptions work. I am starting to see luke’s perspective on how it is exploiting a loophole in bitcoin’s anti-data-spam mechanisms.

## Storing data in Bitcoin, the “standard” way

The standard way you add “data” to bitcoin is by calling the OP_RETURN opcode. Bitcoin devs noticed that people were storing data (like the bitcoin whitepaper) in the utxo set via large multisig transactions. The problem with this is that this set is unprunable and could grow over time. OP_RETURN outputs on the other-hand are provably prunable and don’t add to utxo bloat.

Here’s an excerpt from the march 2014 0.9.0 release notes that talks about this:

> On OP_RETURN: There was been some confusion and misunderstanding in the community, regarding the OP_RETURN feature in 0.9 and data in the blockchain. This change is not an endorsement of storing data in the blockchain. The OP_RETURN change creates a provably-prunable output, to avoid data storage schemes – some of which were already deployed – that were storing arbitrary data such as images as forever-unspendable TX outputs, bloating bitcoin’s UTXO database.
Storing arbitrary data in the blockchain is still a bad idea; it is less costly and far more efficient to store non-currency data elsewhere.

Much of the work on bitcoin core has been focused on making sure the system continues to function in a decentralized way for its intended purpose in the presence of people trying to abuse it for things like storing data. Bitcoin core has always discouraged this, as it is not designed for storage of images and data, it is meant for moving digital coins around in cyberspace.

To help incentive-align people to not do stupid things, OP_RETURN transactions were not made non-standard, so that they are relayable by peers and miners, but with the caveat:

1. They can only push 40 bytes (later increased to 80,83, I’m guessing to support larger root merkle hashes since that is the only sane usecase for op_return)

Bitcoin also added an option called -datacarriersize which limits the total number of bytes from these outputs that you will relay or mine.

## Why inscriptions are technically an exploit

Inscriptions get around the datacarriersize limit by disguising data as bitcoin script program data via OP_PUSH inside OP_IF blocks. Ordinals do not use OP_RETURN and are not subjected to datacarriersize limits, so noderunners and miners currently have limited control over the total size of this data that they wish to relay and include in blocks. Luke’s fork of bitcoin-core has some options to fight this spam, so hopefully we will see this in core sometime soon as well.

Inscriptions are also taking advantage of features in segwit v1 (witness discount) and v2/taproot (no arbitrary script size limit). Each of these features have interesting and well-justified reasons why they were introduced.

The purpose of the witness discount was to make it cheaper to spend many outputs which helps the reduction of the utxo set size. Inscriptions took advantage of this discount to store monke jpegs disguised as bitcoin scripts. Remember, bitcoin is not for storing data, so anytime bitcoin-devs accidentally make it cheap and easy to relay data then this should be viewed as an exploit. Expect it to be fixed, or at least provide tools to noderunners for fighting this spam.

## Where do we go from here

The interesting part of this story is that people seem to attach value to images stored on the bitcoin blockchain, and they are willing to pay the fee to get it in the block, so non-ideologic miners and people who don’t care about the health and decentralization of bitcoin are happy to pay or collect the fee and move on.

Data should not get a discount, people should pay full price if they want to store data. They should just use op_return and hashes like opentimestamps or any other reasonable protocol storing data in bitcoin.

After going through this analysis I’ve come to the opinion that this is a pretty bad data-spam exploit and bitcoin devs should be working on solutions. Ideological devs like luke who actually care about the health and decentralization of the network are and I’m glad to see it.

It’s literally a concern laid out on moneros website, feel free to educate yourself because Bitcoin supply auditability and Monero supply auditability are not the same

“At the end of the day, there are tradeoffs inherent in supply-audit design choices. You can choose to represent amounts in the clear, like Bitcoin does; you can be sure that the supply is what you expect it to be (or fork to ensure this in case of exploited inflation), but you sacrifice fungibility and could expose users to personal risk. Or you can choose to hide amounts like (shielded) Zcash or Monero do; you improve privacy and fungibility, but at the cost of offloading supply soundness guarantees to the correctness of proof and signature constructions”

Eh I don’t fully agree with this line of thinking. Sounds very similar to tether fud which has been disproven over and over again. Just because someone has a money printer and BTC can pair with it doesn’t mean it’s “manipulated” by it. First of all there always needs to be a buyer and seller on both sides.

I think you underestimate the flexibility these miners have and the fact that BTC is a hydra. When you cut 1 head off, 2 more grow back.

Check out what happened to Poolin back in 2022 they got mixed up with shitcoins and suspended payouts to miners. They use to be a large percentage of hash and people moved overnight without a thought. Now this pool is such a small portion. Also pools can always be cloned and made as non-KYC(hydra) So if there’s ever an issue like that, more pools will spawn.

Eh take it with a grain of salt. Miners within pools can point their hash anywhere and is very easy to change pools if 1 starts censoring transactions.


It’s custodial or trusted on the receiving side with self custodial holding and send. Maybe better framed?


Makes sense. They could syphon off payments and the receiver would never realize. Thankfully I think their long term incentives to collect fees from zaps are greater than a short term rug


Oh shit nvm just download from AppStore


I run my own node and zap from it through Zeus. So I think I already do host it, no?


At least those payments can only stay in the zeuspay possession for 24 hours before they get returned to sender. So they wouldn’t be able to rug all of the payments you’ve ever received, just those in the last 24 hours. Right?

You should check out Zeus. Get on their test flight on their website to see the newest features of zeuspay. You can link your npub up and send and receive zaps via LNURL.


“Hard for most” maybe 6 months ago. Zeus just released on App Store with Zeus pay where the node is in your phone so you don’t need run a seperate node.

That’s not how it works. Bitcoin you CAN verify the supply at any time. How does XMR verify this for all blocks? It doesn’t have the same cryptographic proofing to as BTC to do this.

In fact, someone discovered an XMR supply bug back in 2017 by chance. You have no idea what you’re even talking about clearly since it’s been an issue with XMR in the past.

Just buy the S9 from Kaboomracks they sell them for $100 bucks. Lmk if you need the Telegram invite


YES. We must continue you to stay humble and highlight our strength as a network not greed in price.


It’s validating when price goes higher but none of the fundamentals have changed. This new wave of hodlers that will join us in the coming cycle must know early on it’s not just about price action, we need to instill the true ethos of BTC in them. I think that was lost last cycle in the quest for 100k. Let’s do better and highlight our strength not greed.


## Chef's notes

Bitcoin Only Pleb’s #weedbrownies recipe:

Need about a half ounce to an ounce of Vaped weed OR decarbed weed to start. (Look up online how to decarb if you don’t have vaped weed)

Dump that out into a stainless steel sauce pan large enough to hold everything..(stainless or cast iron will do, no non-stick bc you’ll be simmering for a long time and PUFAs are no joke)

Find out how much the brownie box calls for in oil and then add slightly more of that to the pan with the weed. You’ll want to use oil with a high smoke point, I prefer avocado oil (example: If the recipe calls for 1/2 cup of oil, add a little under 2/3 of a cup to the pan with the weed as you will lose some in the next steps)

Cook weed/oil mixture on simmer (very very low heat) for 2-3 hours, let it cool down to room temp when done.

Take a coffee filter and fix it around a drinking glass (might need someone to help you with this next step), pour the weed/oil mix through the coffee filter and let it drip through. This step can get messy, if you’re impatient like me, twist the open mouth of the filter closed and squeeze everything out carefully. Or if you have time let it drip through.

Take that oil and use it as instructed in the brownie mix.

Pop those bad boys in the oven and enjoy when cool. Remember to never “guess” your edible intake. Better to start small.

Love y’all🧡💜

#Nostr #Bitcoin #BTC


Their website says 2024 sometime hoping early 2024 👀


# Summary

A user lost 180,000 sats due to a series of unfortunate events involving nostr clients, user error, lack of validation checks, lack of key rotation or mitigation approaches.

# What happened

On Saturday 2023 December 2, a user had their profile set to a zeuspay address.  Zeuspay addresses are not readily zappable as the receiver needs to acknowledge each zap sent to them. A request was made that they change their lightning address.

The user chose to change to the getalby address that they had previously setup.  After entering an older incorrect value, they went to update their profile, but then managed to accidentally post their LND Wallet connection string instead.

A fellow nostrich realized their mistake and informed them.  The user began setting up a stacker.news account, while helper connected via bluewallet using the connection string and moved funds out.  Helper noted to user that the alby account can't create a separate wallet per account or rotate to new wallet and in order to continue using getalby, they would need to establish an entirely new alby account with a different email.  The funds were sent from helper to user's new stacker.news account.

After this, the user linked their stacker.news account with the alby account having the compromised wallet.  The user moved some funds to a different account. Later, after going to sleep, the user found remaining funds were pulled from their stacker.news account.  It's believed that Zeus wallet or Bluewallet was used with the wallet connection information to LNURL-Auth login to stacker.news

User believes their NSEC was compromised as well and has setup new Nostr account, marked old as compromised and establishing new wallets for zaps.

# Realizations

Not only do Nostr keys have no key rotation, LNURL-Auth suffers from this as well. While implementation approaches can be done, we need to get more work in this area to establish common, consistent patterns for how to rotate to new keys, wallets, etc.

In the case of a lightning wallet being compromised its quite severe as different services have no way to know the wallet is compromised as there is by design no central server to query against.

----

# Recomendations

## Users

- Take extra caution when setting up wallet connect information and lightning address in your preferred clients.

- Make note of where your lightning address and wallet connection information is being used. E.g., track in a password manager.

- Be prepared to immediately take steps to update if ever compromised.

- Where possible, use a dedicated lightning wallet (without funds) for LNURL Auth logins, separate from your extensions for logging in and signing events for Nostr.

## General Nostr Clients

- Where user profiles can be edited, add appropriate validation checks on the LUD06 and LUD16 fields.  There are plenty of profiles with junk data that dont make sense.

- LUD06 should be deprecated, but should be a LNURL string if provided.

- LUD16 should be preferred, and only allow for values in username@domain format. Here's a sample regex:

`[a-z0-9-_]*@(([a-zA-Z]{1})|([a-zA-Z]{1}[a-zA-Z]{1})|([a-zA-Z]{1}[0-9]{1})|([0-9]{1}[a-zA-Z]{1})|([a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9-_]{1,61}[a-zA-Z0-9]))\.([a-zA-Z]{2,6}|[a-zA-Z0-9-]{2,30}\.[a-zA-Z]{2,3})`

## LNDHub, LNBits, Accounts type systems

- Add support for rotating from a compromised wallet account to a new one.
- Users and Admins should be able to mark a wallet as compromised.
- No spends should be able to performed from the account.
- Received funds should instead be diverted to replacement wallet.
- Can continue allowing LNURL-Auth to function
- Enhance API calls to ascertain if a wallet is marked as compromised

## Blue Wallet, Zeus, any using LNDHub like accounts

- Add support for any new API calls that can indicate a wallet as compromised
- Recommend separation of wallets used for receiving value vs for LNURL-Auth

## Alby Recommendations

- Where Wallet Connection warning is, make it more prominent. Use bold red colors. Inform the user that this gives full access to the wallet and is non-revocable.

- Add support for multiple wallets on an alby account. Preferably one per subaccount.

- See notes for LNDHub about handling compromised wallets.

User Loses Funds from Account and Wallet Compromise


This is actually hilarious. Internet is really giving Bitcoiners a home advantage when it comes to a meme war :)


That’s the most idiotic excuse lol


Freshwater. And it’s total BS fud. Water is typically reused in a cooling systems, not thrown out. Also evaporated water eventually condenses back down in the form of rain water.


FUDstrs are saying 1 Bitcoin transaction uses a swimming pool worth of water. So let’s do the math on that.

There’s 326 million trillion gallons of water on earth, and the average swimming pool is full with about 20,000 gallons of water:

326 million trillion gallons of water divided by 20,000 per swimming pool is 16.3 billion trillion swimming pools left on earth.

Average block has 3073.75 transactions, and 16.3 billion trillion total swimming pools full of water on earth to pull from, that leaves us with our final math:

16.3 billion trillion divided by 3,073.75 is approximately 5.3 trillion transactions.

There’s really no reason to be afraid we have at least 5.3 trillion transactions left before we run out of water 🤣

This was my thought too.👏🏻 We need to push this meme when the BS of “Bitcoin ETF is causing dollar inflation” starts in earnest from the corporate media. It turns their framing against them.

Our response should be to point out their admission of how pathetic and weak the dollar system is, that all it takes in an ETF of magic internet money to send it into a downward spiral.

I sent that zap for for 1 sat, same cost as WoS. Fees for receiving are variable depending on size. Overall if you’re sending 21 sats and they take 10% you just received 19 sats instead of 21. Who cares. We should care more about freedom go up

What does this mean exactly? Sorry I’m a total mining noob


Ya only 1 block was hit which is pretty good considering it really only kicked off in the last week


I don’t see Ocean pool censoring ordinals? If you look at the block template it shows plenty of these small shit transactions


As long as there’s 1 group mining OFAC free then a transaction can eventually be picked up


The nice thing is that on the horizon they will have lightning withdrawals with no threshold so custodial will no longer be needed. Thats coming in 2024 according to the website.


Nvm found the answer on the website. I just got a lot of info there that I wasn’t seeing before. Glad to see eventually the 1M sat threshold will probably be gone when Lightning payouts are enabled. Bullish


I got 15k sats for my time mining. But I would still need to wait until it hits 1M sats to receive it? Just trying to understand how the payout works


Exactly that’s just another type of price control that leads to surplus


LMAO that’s wild


“Let’s produce more than demand calls for, that will definitely keep us in business!” Said the failed business owner


Yep^


People will do it with a gun to their head.. which is why this kind of thought process is extremely dangerous. You get to a point where people don’t want to work because there’s no point so the government needs to force labor on to you. Happened in China, Soviet Union, all the way back to Mesopotamia this shit has been happening and people like sunshine who don’t study history keeps repeating it


That’s the end of my Econ lesson for today. Unfortunately think it’s not sticking


This whole thing was started by you saying price controls can work. Price controls means “govt now mandates price of bread is now $1 for a loaf” just as an example.

There’s not a single example of a govt controlling price that didn’t lead to shortage.

Healthcare, food supply, concerts, what ever commodity you want the laws of economics will follow.


Sure that has a negative effect on price, local will always be cheaper. But that wasn’t the point originally made by sunshine, that “some price controls are good”. I think he’s trying to make the argument that if we grow locally and supply the demand it will lead to lower prices. But that doesn’t happen if goods are priced lower than production costs, nobody will grow food just to sell it for a loss, locally or domestically


But I’m “some moron who doesn’t get economics”. I literally have a masters degree in business and took much higher Econ classes then you sunshine. I think you’re ignorance is clouding your judgement


This might be a lost cost Aron.. not everyone can wrap their head around basic Econ, feel like we’re going in circles here


Nah you are very ignorant to basic Econ. Producing too much supply has its own issues, especially with perishable goods. Why would a company increase their production capacity and not adjust this based on demand. Thats how you go bankrupt as a company


Yep


I wasn’t saying logistics bring prices down if anything I was arguing the opposite, that you can’t control pricing to a certain arbitrary low price, as there are costs like logistics that can fluctuate. If the price of the good is too low to make it economically infeasible then supply won’t chase it and you’ll be led to shortage. Why would anyone ship a product to lose money? They’ll just supply a market with that good that doesn’t have an unrealistically low price


We are talking about commodities being priced too low. Which you’re saying wouldn’t lead to shortages. Which is wrong


What about the current system I don’t follow?


What happens when a concert sells tickets at too low of a price? It sells out too quickly and you can’t get a ticket unless you’re one of the first in line. well that’s what happens with food and basically everything else of value. I really suggest you read up on this because you have a dangerous point of view on this


I’m sorry but you’re very wrong… find me an example of long term price controls working


Here’s a book you need to read ..

https://www.amazon.com/Forty-Centuries-Wage-Price-Controls/dp/1610161408?nodl=1&dplnkId=fe502e59-072f-4f22-a14c-af306f5bc8f4


Centralized authorities can not possibly act as efficiently as the free market in terms of pricing. There’s no way to account for everything that needs to be accounted for to properly price during a specific time/date


Prices aren’t artificially high* nobody is raising them making huge profit


Most grocery stores operate at less than 5% profit margin. Prices arent high, it’s just too much money is just chasing too few goods creating scarcity. Yes food is plentiful, but logistics aren’t free.


It’s basic economics. Anyone for it hasn’t taken econ101


No problem, here’s my signature https://media.tenor.com/jKzHaFs44K0AAAAC/behold-me.gif


Yep. Basic economics


Every time in history it’s been tried lead to revolution

My main reaction is why censor and put base chain censorship resistance at risk when the free market will just make these ordinal buyers poor like shitcoiners. They think 1 sat =\ 1 sat and will learn the hard way just like NFTs and shitcoins


Makes sense. I was also concerned about the news about censoring ordinals and not giving us the ability not to censor them. What are your thoughts there?


Bitcoins supply is absolutely provable. The fact that you have such an emotional response tells me everything I need to know. You can’t prove xmr supply, you know you can’t prove it has no supply bug so you’re acting out emotionally

Now they are moving to FPPS as of yesterday lol


Which is surprising too as they just announced higher fees in the future and a move away from PPLN so I’m surprised by that. Seems to be a lot of plebs not really keeping up with the news of Braiins while mindlessly hashing


Within 3 days getting to 5% of the size of Braiins pool is still pretty impressive imo

It’s digital Gold but not a form of SoVgot it.. “COPE AND SEETHE” shitcoiner


Satoshi literally compared Bitcoin to a form of gold that can be transmitted over communications. But definitely meant to be a store of value https://image.nostr.build/1fa48df53d559f568b5676a62838613742f6cbb55240c7fd46b6a67d10f4c4eb.jpg  nostr:note189dc5vqafwkx7xmvrrxkz85fr49mh7dew8lhm9ya5zywmy873ckqt6nq5k


I don’t think p2p is too hard but is it widely known for them to do the work to do that? No. They’ll just find some other shitcoin on exchange before they go learning about buying a coin on p2p. I would also make a counter point to your argument about this being similar to non-custodial lightning. It’s not even close non-custodial lightning wallets are pretty new, monero has been out for years dwindling volume.

Monero isn’t a common neutral good so it has a salability issue. If you ask most normies if they’ve heard of bitcoin they’ll say yes. Monero would get a small fraction of “yes” to that question relative to overwhelming “no”

You’re going to be waiting a long time 🤣


Exactly we are talking about a 3 billion market cap vs a 700 billion market cap here. Why would a normal person want to buy this no name 25th place coin over any other random of the 20,000 different ‘crypto’? XMR doesn’t solve the salability and need a for common neutral good.


It’s worked pretty well for 15 years so it’s not unfounded ignorance. I think the only people pretending here are the people that think Monero can substitute for Bitcoin as a store of value or unit of account. Even in dollar terms it has lost purchasing power in real terms since inception.

Let me ask you a question, do you run a bitcoin or monero full node?


If monero was increasing in purchasing power against bitcoin *maybe* you can make that argument that this is the take of the free market. It’s lost purchasing power every year since inception against Bitcoin in an exponential downtrend


Monero is irrelevant to this conversation, it can’t even verify that there is no supply bug present which is a huge problem. It’s also got an eternal inflation rate so 1 monero this year will never have the same purchasing power as 1 monero next year. So it has failed already in terms of network security, store of value and unit of account


If you’re worried about a high fee environment start mining, it’s a hedge against high fees.


I don’t understand this attitude that miners should work for you for free when block reward is no longer given.. What did you think would happen when block reward every 4 years is less and less? In April 2024 block reward will go from 6.25 to 3.125 meaning fees and price per bitcoin will have to find an equilibrium to pay for network security


There will also be higher volume to achieve the needed fee amount to maintain the net work so fees actually could be lower than now too


This high fee environment is the future of Bitcoin though so I would suggest you think about this differently. What incentives would miners have to stay online if they got zero fees and zero bitcoin from block reward? This is an incentives based system and proof of work isn’t done for free. That said, there’s an assumption that 1 BTC in fees later will have more purchasing power than the 6.25BTC block reward now. So fees won’t need to be too much higher.

Most people will transact and hold small amounts of Bitcoin on layer 2s. Most people in the future won’t even know they’re transacting on a “layer 2” it will all be seamless with the ability to buy block space for an onchain transaction if they want additional security.


I don’t disagree with ordinals being an unintended consequence but disagree entirely with it “invaliding several important use cases”. High fees will absolutely need to stay high and this has been the assumption for a very long time, to incentivize miners to mine as block rewards are less and less every 4 years. If there’s no high fees, bitcoin is subject to 51% attack as miners go off line forever


True, the biggest risk factor is ourselves thinking new bells and whistles are needed and then later realizing the unintended consequences of that


That’s funny but I’m wondering if there’s a legit reason for this like mining rewards, or something

Ahhh gotcha. Ok that makes more sense


I mean 1/3 of Ocean pool’s hash* sorry early morning typing


They are assuming it’s my btc because there’s no other data to use. If I send $10 to a random lightning address from Strike how would they know who it’s going to? In their eyes that $10 is my Bitcoin that came out of my bank.


Which would be wrong. So kyc is broken


Is your Venmo KYCd and dollars associated with you after they’ve been sent? How do you KYC an address of another person not associated to the sender? Doesn’t make any sense

I’m surprised to see some of these mining telegram nyms hate on nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze

Most objections I’m seeing are:

 “I’m too lazy to move pools”

“It’s not going to make me more money so why should I?”

“Too new and scary”

What can we do to change this? I guess even some miners aren’t really actually bitcoiners but really just incentive driven capitalists. It’s what is going to drive us plebs who are ideologically driven to spend a large portion of our stacks in the future defending that ideology.

Get on Zeus’ TestFlight for Zeuspay. If you use mobile more it’s better plus it’s fully self custodial.

They said the same thing about email, the internet, etc

“It’s too hard to understand”

Then innovation happens and the people like you get a foot in the mouth. Zeuspay has been out for 2 months and there’s nothing hard about it. If you believe custodial solutions are the key to adoption you’ve lost the plot.


Did I say anything about KYC or strike? Lol

I use Zeuspay completely self-custodial which is far superior to WoS someone else holding your keys for you.


Custodial solutions will always be low hanging fruit for regulatory capture. They aren’t long term solutions. Sure it was a helpful temporary stepping stone but by no means was it a “make or break” for nostr.

You have to reconfigure with the TestFlight but Took me 5 min to do. If you don’t want to do  this the update will come in December that will give all app users this ability


I actually use Zeus connected to my node at home too and for zaps. Most people moving over from WoS don’t have a node and thus lean on custodial solutions. If you already have Zeus make sure you’re on the TestFlight so you can utilize Zeuspay. Alby is very quickly becoming obsolete imo
