On climate change
What are now seas were once deserts and what are now deserts will be seas tomorrow.
The climate has always changed, it has never remained stable.
The concentration of co2 is minimal compared to other geological epochs, on the other hand co2 is the gas of life, the more co2 the more explosion of life.
Don't believe the official story, study for yourself.
You are a bit ignorant. As @lontivero told you, nothing prevents a user from sending twice to the same address or to any other address, the software cannot prevent this.
Why don't we talk about the ricochet fees address burned into the samourai code through which you can trace all the addresses that have used ricochet or that samourai doesn't handle tor identities in the android app or Sparrow, or that in the whirpool desktop client it constantly reuses the tor input circuit or the xpub that was leaked in the android client?
Wasabi have continued forward selflessly with a coinjoin with 0 fees, you samourai guys were either morons for adopting a poorly built solution or you were simply paid by the samourai team.

I don't care about legal issues, just the code.
I have never defended wasabi, I have always defended decentralized solutions, now I do because they are no longer a company and it is a community project at no cost to the user.
I also tell you that the coordinators that there are free of wasabi as kruw's, will end up having problems and is already accumulating a lot of capital.
The reason samourai ended up in jail and wasabi did not was because the latter implemented a chain analysis that allowed banning coins from the coinjoin.
But that has nothing to do with samourai's code being disastrous in many respects.
Ultimately the only viable long term option will remain decentralized coinjoins.
Lo que está pasando en Valencia es totalmente dantesco, más de 50 muertos y miles de desaparecidos debido a lluvias torrenciales y el gobierno ni si quiera suspende el pleno del congreso para tratar esta situación de emergencia porque tienen que votar un decreto de RTVE.
Son unos putos criminales, el pueblo esta solo ante el peligro después de pagar miles y miles de impuestos.
Tampoco te contaran en los medios que durante estos años se han derribado pantanos porque hay que dejar fluir los ríos y que estos pantanos derribados en Valencia evitaban que el agua se canalizara por antiguos barrancos.
Most podcasts about Bitcoin are really boring, they are like chats with friends, they are superficial and the information they give could be condensed in just 5 minutes.

Elon Musk: “𝕏 is the future. It's citizen journalism. You listen to the people, by the people, for the people. That's what it's all about. It's absolutely fundamental and transformative that people get to decide the news, the narrative and what matters. A handful of editors basically control traditional media. They decide what gets published. That's why I really encourage everyone to write on the 𝕏 platform. Citizen journalism is the future.”
I guess he means #Nostr, because in X they keep censoring people and manipulating people's minds through their algorithms.

Abortion has always been and will always be murder.
Feminists say it is their body, this is the level of insanity they have, it is not their body, it is another human's body.
I feel flattered that you tell me that 😂.
To fight against the state the only solution is the counter-economy, i.e. the black market to gradually erode the state's ability to finance itself through tax theft.
Do not underestimate the counter-economy, the black market was one of the reasons for the fall of the USSR.
I take advantage of the fact that user @Eye Reply. has reminded me of the book The Great Taking to post the documentary based on the book in which he explores the possible collapse of private ownership of financial assets for the benefit of large global financial institutions.
I also leave you the link to the book, which is free.

I have studied the Rothschilds a lot, as much as I can because it is certainly difficult to get documentation and people would be surprised at all that is hidden from us.
It is not that it is not documented, but that it is difficult to trace because they have been responsible for erasing the trail, especially in recent times.
Bluesky Is Not Decentralize
by @Possibly a Dog
So, you know how Facebook is a corporation with a lot of spread-out servers that talk to a centralized database and algorithm that controls and manages all your posts, opaquely, for profit.
And so is Xwitter. And so is LinkedIn. And so is TikTok.
And so is BlueSky. 😲
BlueSky's big claim is that they're "decentralized" with "no algorithm". And yeah, technically, ironically, everything's an algorithm, but I'm not well-actuallying that word. Their current default feed algorithm is not The Algorithm; it lets you see all the posts from all your friends and that's great. It also lets you block at will, and won't shove spam on your feed, or shadow-ban your friends' political posts. It's not evil (yet). It's fine.
But. It's not decentralized. #BlueSky is a centralized corporate app, running a theoretically-decentralized network protocol that currently has only one (1) active node on the network: BlueSky. The other minor members of the ATP network are just piggybacking on BlueSky's 13 million captive users for auth and reach.
It (allegedly?) uses #ATProtocol to pass messages between its edge nodes. But all its central features are still centralized, and the protocol allows "reach" to be centrally managed separately from "speech" (to enable centralized blocking, and goosing and filtering in various feeds), and the protocol isn't even fully implemented as designed.
For example, ATP allows for "DID"s for identity portability, so if you later want to switch to a hypothetical GreenSky competitor, you won't lose your followers and blocklist and post history.
But the actual BlueSky app does not implement DIDs. It's called "did-placeholder" on their github. It's a stub. It's TBD. It's not a feature, it's a feature request.
And guess who just bought a seat on BlueSky's board with a $15M Series A round? That's right, a crypto vulture named Blockchain Capital.
Their general partner Kinjal Shah -- whose cryptocurrency-fueled career has careened from Bitcoin to NFTs to DAOs to VC -- is now on the BlueSky board, and methinks the press release doth protest too much when it defensively claims, with just a pinky promise, "the Bluesky app and the AT Protocol do not use blockchains or cryptocurrency, and we will not hyperfinancialize the social experience (through tokens, crypto trading, NFTs, etc.)."
Go ahead and enjoy BlueSky. It's better than Facebook. It's easier than Mastodon. It's sassier than TikTok. It's not motherfucking Xitter. But it's not decentralized.

Inconvenient truths
When we talk about Bitcoin scalability we inevitably talk about the blockchain trilemma.
The blockchain trilemma is a concept that explains the difficulty of balancing three key properties in a blockchain network: decentralization, security and scalability.
Imagine the vertices of a triangle, it is impossible to change the angles of two vertices without affecting a third and in the same way if you lengthen the vertex of a triangle it also affects the angles of the other two vertices.
Bitcoin prioritizes decentralization and security at the expense of scalability.
Therefore, if or if not, we are going to need alternative solutions to the L1 layer to scale because we want Bitcoin to remain decentralized and secure. This is where the rest of the cryptocurrencies fail, either not accepting the blockchain trilemma or outright lying to users. If Monero were to have mass adoption with its dynamic block size, who would be able to run the nodes? Only the megacorporations like Apple, Microsoft or Amazon. And block size also affects security, the less decentralized a Blockchain is, the more insecure it is.
That said, we have to accept that not everyone will be able to use the L1 layer, Bitcoin does not understand rights, and we will have to accept the trade-offs of scaling solutions.
That said, neither drivechains nor sidechains are feasible scaling solutions in the long term as they are still blockchains.
Lightning is only scalable if we assume losing self-custody. If everyone adopts Lightning and we need one channel per human, it would take decades to open all the necessary channels (about 40 years), the fees would be huge and obviously not everyone could afford to open a channel, it is an oxymoron in itself.
And this brings us to ARK's vUTXO (virtual UTXO) model or statechains like Mercury Layer or Spark. The only way to scale and maintain self-custody, at least so far, will be to use these solutions that do not rely on a blockchain and accepting their trade-offs in terms of security and decentralization.
And for these solutions to be scalable they will have to face the challenge of leaving as small a footprint on the blockchain as possible, and this implies that many people will never be able to go out to the L1 layer.
The other alternative is full reserve Bitcoin banks, and this we know always ends up in a fractional reserve Fiat system. Both Satoshi and Hal were always very clear about these trade-offs in fact Hal himself talked about Bitcoin banks as a way to scale.
In conclusion, we must emphasize that Bitcoin does not understand rights, that Bitcoin has never been scalable, Satoshi and Hal knew it from the beginning, that the trilemma of the blockchain cannot be violated, it is like the laws of thermodynamics and that the only way to deal with scalability are layer 2 or even layer 3 solutions assuming the trade-offs.
We have no alternative to the Fiat system scam other than Bitcoin as it is, the rest are just lies and false pretenses.
Sé que no hay muchos lectores españoles en Nostr, pero si los hay os voy a explicar toda esta mierda.
Errejón solo es un pobre cocainómano esclavo de sus palabras. Es un pintamonas que no ha violado a nadie pero esta siendo el tonto útil de las cloacas del estado.
Por un lado gracias a sus escándalos ya no se habla de el putero de Ábalos ni del mafioso de Koldo, y menos del corrupto hijo de puta del presidente del gobierno Sánchez y la ladrona de su esposa implicada hasta las trancas en la corrupción del gobierno de Marruecos.
A su vez el imbécil de Errejón está siendo usando por Podemos para destrozar al horrendo partido de Sumar y a la retrasada de Yolanda Díaz.
En definitiva, ahorra en Bitcoin y joder a esta panda de hijos de la gran puta. De nada.
BlackBerry was one of the most private devices out there, they even adapted a great architecture like QNX (after its acquisition) in its last years of life and were one of the first if not the first to use point to point encryption in a messaging client.
It was even the standard for many governments, including the genocidal Obama, now the standard is iOS.
The moral is that the best does not always win.
Thinking about it in retrospect for as long as I have been in Bitcoin I have never bought a shitcoin, which after what I have experienced gives me pause to think that:
- Either I have an iron conviction.
- Or I suffer from some kind of retardation.
@Jameson Lopp
Reopening the block size debate when more than 80% of the block size is full of crap, to say the least, seems malicious to me.
I look forward to seeing your lecture and hope it is clickbait.
I have some reluctance towards ARK and Spark, they add a lot of complexity and Lightning is already complex, I mean from the developer's point of view.
To be honest I like Spark better than Ark, as Spark seems simpler.
I am looking forward to see how all these solutions including Mercury Layer are developed.
There is a mistake that most are making when looking at the Bitcoin ETF purchase figures. They are only looking at US ETFs and ignoring the flow of ETFs from other countries and European ETPs.
Holdings have remained constant throughout the summer and so far, investors are simply selling their ETFs and ETPs from their respective countries and buying US products.

Leonardo DiCaprio attacks Trump and supports Kamala Harris in the name of climate change.
And then the son of a bitch goes with a yacht that pollutes like 100 of John's cars.
What hypocrites actors are, it happens in every country, they are the useful fools of power, they are uneducated, hypocritical, false, and some even pedophiles and mostly have mental problems.

With a dynamic block size that if massively adopted only Apple, Amazon and Microsoft could run nodes losing all decentralization and with it also consensus and security? No thanks
Let's make democracy fun
Since democracy is a scam to bleed you with taxes and whoever wins is ruled by the same people in the shadows, let's at least make it fun.
My system would eliminate political parties and replace it with polymarket voting.
Each person could vote for the person they want from the nation or from outside, you can even vote for a cat or Homer Simpson.
The winner decides if he wants to be president or not, if a cat is elected, then the cat decides, if Homer Simpson is elected, then a possum decides.
It would be advisable to vote for stupid or crazy characters to have fun like Conor McGregor or Biden's son.

An example of how intoxicated the security world is and why you have to keep your eyes wide open to avoid being fooled.
This article was passed on to me about the state of disk encryption in Linux:
https://0pointer.net/blog/authenticated-boot-and-disk-encryption-on-linux.html
The article emphasizes the use of TPM since Linux does not use it for encryption. We all know that bitclocker has had security problems due to the use of TPM and vulnerabilities found in it that have broken its encryption. In fact no one in their right mind would trust the encryption offered by Bitclocker through the TPM, and in fact no one does, we all know it is a joke.
When we talk about cryptography there is no trust in a third party, especially if that third party is a black box like the TPM, and this is precisely what the three-letter agencies want.
When someone pursued by a three-letter agency tries to preserve the encryption of his disk, he has to rely on the encryption algorithm (opensource) and on the robustness of his key, he should not add a trusted third party, in this case a TPM.
And now back to the article, who writes this article? Lennart Poettering, who worked for Red Hat leading the development of systemd, and who joined Microsoft in 2022. The same who defends DNS servers encrypted in systemd-solved, a real attack on privacy.
In this article you can see the implications of systemd and why it is bad for Linux, clearly Microsoft and Red Hat are slowly taking over Linux and breaking the UNIX philosophy:
https://unixdigest.com/articles/the-real-motivation-behind-systemd.html
In short and as a conclusion, many researchers and developers are funded by Microsoft and the big guys, the same happens with Bitcoin, keep your eyes open.
They just want you to have no privacy and no freedom of choice.
