Where are you getting domestic consumption numbers from? Anecdotally, everything in China is pretty awesome right now, everyone is buying heaps of stuff.


No one would use it.


Chinese are generally more politically aware than westerners, covid was the final nail in the coffin.


Accurate.


That's kind of what this is. Essentially Yuan with a 40% gold hedge.

I have a bad feeling that Bitcoin is going to crash upwards alongside the demise of the USD, the global economy will rebalance around Yuan + gold and not a Bitcoin because it's rapidly becoming nothing more than a financial instrument within the USD economy.


That only helps if the energy producers themselves are Bitcoiners and don't need to buy anything from China etc.


Nevertheless, they are going a different direction.


BRICS+ are about to announce a new shitcoin called "UNIT".

It's stupid, and painful to watch, but it could set bitcoin back by 20 years.

Just because the dollar is collapsing doesn't mean Bitcoin wins.

The key thing to understand is that those who produce the Stuff get to decide what money the world will use to replace the USD.

No one else has a vote.


What is that? A market for retarded ideas?


Keyboard shortcuts make you live longer


What are you working on at the moment?

As soon as you register a company you no longer have access to Bitcoin's capability to provide separation of money and State, that's why Strike, River, etc have compliance departments.

What we are missing is separation of Business and State, which is what I'm working on, but I need better t shirts ⚒

It's nearly 3pm and you're just waking up. Sad.


The text suggests several psychological elements related to the author's perspective on artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on human behavior and society. Below are some inferred psychological aspects:

Critical Thinking: The author exhibits a high level of critical thinking and skepticism, particularly towards the general public's engagement with AI technologies. This skepticism is not about the technology itself but rather about how it is utilized by people to avoid challenging cognitive tasks.

Concern for Intellectual Laziness: The author seems concerned that many individuals use AI as a crutch to avoid "the hard task of thinking, forming an opinion, or analyzing situations for themselves." This indicates a value placed on intellectual effort and the process of critical analysis, suggesting a belief that personal growth and societal progress are contingent upon active, not passive, engagement with information and ideas.

Value for Authenticity and Effort: By questioning the pursuit of "mediocrity and complacency as a deliberate choice," the author implies a value for authenticity, effort, and perhaps excellence. There's an underlying belief that striving for more than mediocrity is essential for personal and collective development.

Reflective and Philosophical Orientation: The request for an essay on a complex societal behavior indicates a reflective and philosophical orientation towards understanding human behavior and societal trends. The author is not just interested in criticizing but seems to seek a deeper understanding or explanation of why people might opt for mediocrity and complacency.

Concern for Societal Impact: There's an implicit concern for the societal impact of technology, specifically how AI might be enabling or exacerbating tendencies towards avoiding intellectual engagement and settling for less than one's potential. This concern reflects a broader perspective, considering not just individual behaviors but their cumulative effect on society.

Perspective on Technology and Human Agency: Finally, the author's perspective implies a nuanced view of technology—recognizing its potential for utility while also cautioning against its misuse. There's an implicit belief in human agency and responsibility in how technology is adopted and used.

In summary, the author appears to be a critically-minded individual, concerned with the broader societal implications of technology use. They value intellectual effort and engagement and are reflective about the choices individuals make in relation to technology and personal growth.

I believe Bitcoin is intentionally transparent, for a number of reasons. One of those reasons is the anonymity set delta.

The smaller you are, the larger your anonymity set.

The larger you are, the smaller your anonymity set.

This makes it expensive for governments to hide their actions, but cheap for individuals.

There are also legitimate weirdos too though


Nostr isn't a success until we have journalists breaking news here that wouldn't be allowed anywhere else


And whistleblowers from within governments.

Blowing the whistle anonymously but also having cryptographic proof it was you could be very helpful in keeping you out of jail (or saving you from being hung from a lamp post).


The strong do what they want and the weak suffer as they must.


Lol

If Monero ever comes anywhere near Bitcoin's level of power and influence, you'll find out very quickly why Bitcoin's security model is anchored in energy rather than market decisions.


Need to produce something of value though or the off ramps will decide which fork the market follows.

https://youtu.be/X_xgmVLyB94?si=lGcZl8epLJ2KHs_x


This is the same for any proof of stake system. It's even true of the US dollar.

Bitcoin is solving a completely different problem.


You know Bitcoin is psudonymous...


Yeah I agree with that.

If you don't have the option to be private you don't have freedom.

But if you don't have the option to be free unless you have privacy then you're not free.


You've failed to understand the fundamental security model


Yes, except Monero has stronger guaruntees over the total supply.


Americans can't even make face masks, why would you think they can make cars 🤣

Monero's security model is reliant on the community trusting the devs who rotate the hash algorithm and use checkpoints because it doesn't have the security budget to remain censorship resistant or immutable if it comes under attack. This is a non starter against a state actor and defeats the entire purpose of proof of work.

There are many ways Bitcoin is vulnerable, but it's the only attempt being made at separation of state and money.


Surviving means being able to provide censorship resistant immutable transactions. Without this, privacy is irrelevant.


Software defined radio WAN?


Bitcoin has a chance of surviving a direct confrontation with a large state actor, Monero does not. The best chance you have is Bitcoin takes the brunt of the attack, and Monero adds unfuckable privacy for the edge cases when you need it.


Nothing here is mutually exclusive.


Freedom to exercise personal privacy is very different from your freedom being dependent on privacy.


Advocating for personal privacy is great. Saying that you can't have freedom without privacy is an admission of defeat.


This is why I vacated the western world many years ago.


Being forced to hide under the floorboards like rats isn't freedom.

Freedom comes from the capability to inflict damage.

GM nostr.

Imagine working for a government that locked down harder than China, and closed the borders like North Korea, and *continues* to destroy the economy and the culture, taking what was once a half decent country and turning it into a total shithole.

Imagine believing that your children will somehow forgive you for making their world one of needless suffering.

Imagine being so pathetic and so weak and so unemployable that you can't stop even when you are fully aware of all this.


Someone gets it


Corrugated cardboard IS the innovation.


The spinners will continue until morale improves


The main point is that no one is going to KYC you to buy food as this video claims.


If you really can't use any of the apps you can still use cash in most places, they just might not have the right change for you.


WIP! I'll post an announcement when I'm less embarrassed about it


You could ask one of the 1.4 billion people who live in China if they have to KYC to get food. The answer will be "no".


They can at least expose their corrupt department heads etc, nostr is an ideal place for it.


Fake


Imagine working for the government and getting the mRNA vaccine because your job required it, and then finding out from an MRI of your heart that it caused permanent damage.


Yes.


"China" is the next excuse they're going to use to attack freedoms in the West, nonsense like this is being peddled by useful idiots to make it easier for the populace to swallow a giant government cock.


You can do both of those things in China.

"yeah things are bad, but look at China!" is being pushed as the current thing so that most people will accept it when team Obama starts saying "we need these new powers to save you from China".


She's trying to spend money from an account that isn't hers. Try doing that with a banking app anywhere in the world and they're going to verify you one way or another. It's nothing to do with the government.

There are a number of commonly accepted ways to pay for stuff in China (and a CBDC is *not* one of them). Cash is still widely accepted, worst case she could have just gone to an ATM.


Old, fake, misleading and retarded.


Sad to see nostriches falling for something that is so obviously misleading.

"Because China" is becoming the new "because Covid" and nostriches are now helping to make it happen.

Do banks in your country let you have an account without KYC?

If she wasn't a retard she could have paid with one of the many other payment apps, with a credit card, or with cash.

Bashing China makes westerners feel less bad about their own shithole countries and helps manufacture consent for things like the tiktok ban.


The reality is that she could have just used cash or any of the other apps to pay, but that wouldn't make good clickbait.


Bullshit. This video is from years ago and is intentionally very misleading.


Also watch any interview with any diplomat from any of the "evil" countries like Russia/China/Iran and compare this to American diplomats.

Hiding in fear like rats under the floorboards is not freedom. Bitcoin is for dragging the regime out into the street and blasting it's head off with a shotgun so we never have to deal with it again.


It's not, by design.


Hiding under the floorboards like a rat? Not for me.


The solution is to stop living in a shithole country, then at least you don't have capital gains.

Income tax still a problem everywhere but you can at least live somewhere where it's under 15-20% and 0% on foreign derived income, or just work for bitcoin.


That makes sense, probably moving coins into cold storage any time the hot wallet increases by 100


The reason privacy is important is because it breaks the enemy's OODA loop by preventing them from being able to Observe us.

The point of Bitcoin is to break the enemy's OODA loop by denying them the capacity to Act.

GM FAM!

Today is day one of my third year on nostr.

I feel like this is the year things really start getting wild because we are entering phase two of Bitcoin's war against the State.

As we enter this more dangerous phase, recall that danger is a gift because it brings out the best in us and forces us to up our game.

Make your purpose in life to conquer new territories of freedom, and to never surrender them.

Let your instinct for victory dominate over the desire for comfort and pleasure. The free individual is a warrior, because sovereignty can only be taken and not given.

Nostr and Bitcoin can only reach their full potential if all of us reach our own full potential. So become great. Then be great. Then remain great. And make others great along the way.

Our territory of freedom is entirely dependent on imports from the Fiat Dominion, so when we spend Bitcoin we're just creating demand for fiat.

We need to produce more value than the Fiat Dominion to flip it the other way around, making the global economy dependent on freedom.

Not specifically ETFs anyway. There's practically infinite demand to print Bitcoin for free, the bankers will make it happen one way or another. The only thing that can stop them is demand for real (self custodial) bitcoin.


I'm not talking about ETFs, very few people will care about them in a couple of years anyway.

Compare a custodian's utxo set to the custodian's liabilities.

I understand what you're saying, bitcoin is obviously much easier to audit, I just can't see any reason why sufficient numbers of people will ever care.


Sure, it's an improvement over gold, but the 99% of people who don't care about verifying gold reserves also won't verify bitcoin reserves, they just want exposure to the price.

How many people bother to verify binance and coinbase's utxos and compare this to their accounting books?

Moving coins from coinbase to Bitrefill is only a thing because the banks don't let you hold paper bitcoin (yet). When they do, there's no need for real bitcoin to be in the loop at all unless the user really wants to buy something which cannot be purchased with anything other than real bitcoin (that's the forcing function I'm saying we need to build).

If what you want to happen is also what you think will happen then you're on shaky ground.

If you're all in on Bitcoin because you understand it's our best hope for the emancipation of the human spirit, dedicate your life to finding all the ways why it's not going to work, and do something about it.


They can print it for free the same way they print gold for free.

They can always print enough fiat to cover any withdrawals, the same way it works with paper gold.

Practically no one is going to withdraw their paper bitcoin into real bitcoin, the same way no one withdraws their paper gold into real gold.

They are withdrawing to spend it in the *real* economy (which produces all the stuff they want) and they need fiat to access that.

This also makes guaranteed offramps more important to them than self custody or verified holdings.


Every time a people has tried to opt out, America sends the terrorists in.

This is coming to the American homeland.


Yes, and so if you produce something that the masses want, you create a forcing function for self custody since the only money you will accept for it is real bitcoin.


That's compelling for us, not for 99% of people. For them, money is a proxy to products/services, not an ideology.

Guarunteed offramps into the real economy are more valuable to them than self custody.


Custodians, ETFs etc can print Bitcoin for free, so there's no 21 million cap on supply unless people demand to hold their own coins.

There's currently no compelling reason for the vast majority of people to hold their own coins, in fact it makes more sense to use a custodian and have a guaranteed offramp.


Or they are about to send in ISIS


21 million is a lie unless there's a self custody forcing function.

Nostr clients need to get serious about efficient bandwidth usage, specially on mobile. Caching as much as possible, only requesting new data, using the outbox model to minimize open WebSocket connections... Ideally built into SDKs or libraries like nostrdb so the average dev doesn't need to worry about it and efforts are not duplicated. This is no easy task and it takes a lot of careful engineering work but it's fundamental if we want the world to be able to use the protocol. It's easy to churn out new features or implement NIPs but building solid foundations is way more important.

Our new territory of freedom is completely dependent on imports from the fiat territory of slavery.

Want a new phone or a new computer or a new house or medical treatment or air travel or anything else? You need to import it from the fiat territory of slavery because we produce none of it domestically in our territory of freedom.

We can flip this the other way around by being more efficient and more capable than the fiat territory of slavery, producing value in ways that they can't, making their economy dependent on us and OUR FREEDOM!

The greatest part is that YOU can start making this happen RIGHT NOW  by improving yourself in ANY way. This makes you more productive and more capable overall, which makes our territory of freedom more productive and more capable.

Things seem down right now, but all they've done is show their hand and awaken a fucking DRAGON!

But why?


What you are discussing is phase 4, we're currently in phase 2.

It's also worth noting that mining is intended to be centralized while bitcoin is not under attack, becoming increasingly decentralized (and less efficient) in proportion to how criminalized it becomes.

No, the developers can roll back a checkpoint.


They just make shit up as they go.

History shows that when all else fails they'll send in ISIS (or some new one) to terrorize everyone into submission.


If you're technically competent enough to benefit from coinjoins there's nothing stopping you from using Wasabi.


If you aren't technically competent enough to use tor then yeah. But then you shouldn't expect privacy anyway.


The joke is that you didn't read it properly. No tor addresses were listed, only regular domain names.


It doesn't matter how it works, what matters is that if you're a citizen if the terror state and you use it you are violating the terms of the agreement.


Yeah I love this explanation. I've started to think of ethereum etc as companies with shareholders rather than anything related to money.


How to reply to a PoS shitcoiner:

PoS has been around for thousands of years, it's nothing new. Government money is proof of stake, as are company shares.

Egyptians, Romans, and Chinese were using this 2000+ years ago. Italian city states perfected it 800 years ago. Stake based systems are not new.

Using stake to solve the Byzantine General's Problem is also not new. Cypherpunks have been working on this shit since the late 80s.

The cypherpunks on the mailing list (that Satoshi sent the white paper to for peer review) are literally the people who created the *entire body cryptographic of work* used by proof of stake coins today (stake based byzantine fault tolerance).  They are well aware of the fundamental limitations of stake based BFT because they are ones who came up with it in the first place...

If Bitcoin was proof of stake *you would never have heared of it* because it wouldn't have survived 5 minutes of peer review by any real cryptographers.

Time-based difficulty-adjusted PoW *is* the breakthrough and is the *only* reason you and anyone has ever heard of a "blockchain".

The failure modes of stake based BFT are well known, and it fails *every time* for a number of reasons, but if you are betting on a shitcoin to increase in value then the failure mode will probably involve the fact that stakeholders have an incentive to increase the supply to benefit from the cantillion effect.

Mathematical fact: you cannot deploy external capital to defend a system that is secured by internal history (stake). This is why stake based BFT does *not* secure against attack by a state or central bank, which means *anything* secured by PoS MUST comply with governments.

Bitcoin's value proposition is that Bitcoin let's you do things that bankers and governments *don't want you to do*. If bankers and governmensts can nuke your shitcoin, then you do what they say or they nuke it.

What's the value proposition beyond CBDCs if your shitcoin ultimately has to comply with governments and bankers?

You cannot out-stake a bad actor who has aquired sufficient stake to fuck with the system, your only option is to fork them out. Then it becomes a competition between charismatic personalities convincing the market to follow their authority (their fork) instead of the other guy.

So how do you solve the problem of removing a bad actor without requiring some form of authority? Read the Bitcoin white paper. Satoshi knew exactly how stake based systems fail, that's *exactly* why he used proof of work instead.


Developers override proof of work consensus.

This is necessary because Monero doesn't have a security budget large enough to defend against even a very small state actor.

This is also one of the reasons why the developers keep changing the hash algorithm.

Monero is completely dependent on trusting the core developers every step of the way.

Monero proponents errornously believe it is an alternative to bitcoin because they have failed to understand the Bitcoin security model and what problem it solves:

https://youtu.be/X_xgmVLyB94?si=m33WMr3NHs8mkG9u


It's a form of proof of stake, in this case it's basically just a proof of developer reputation. It takes one line of code to add a checkpoint to bitcoin, there's a reason why we rely on proof of energy instead.


Yes I know exactly how checkpoints work, and I've spent years working on the monero codebase.

Not sure if you are honestly misunderstanding me or maliciously avoiding the question.


I'm guessing that cardano and arweave are offering them money, it's something they do so that more projects build on them and they can claim they are decentralized (legal loophole).

The problem is people don't have ideas, ideas have people.


It's not an argument, just mathematics and physics (you'd have to do the numbers yourself though I haven't checked the relative hashpower for 6+ years)


Is this implemented? I had an idea of doing something similar but also using your WoT in addition to your own account to get block headers and filters etc


Haven't answered the question.


It also has a tiny security budget in comparison to bitcoin. I need to wait 6 months for the same immutability guaruntees that bitcoin gives me in 60 minutes.


They did indeed, it's routine. Very few coins listed on any large exchange have their own chain, the ones that do have far greater trading volumes than Monero.

But I will grant you the fact that regulatory risk/compliance is also overhead, and that's very high with Monero.


*Why* do we use proof of work to determine which set of ordered transactions is valid, instead of just trusting other participants (and their checkpoints)?


Yeah it's totally not because the overhead is greater than the profits...


If you think you can use checkpoints, you have failed to understand the problem that proof of work solves.


Account based instant sync?


This level of analysis is how we go from rag-tag to professional.

Monero would already be dead by now if bitcoin wasn't the focus, a central bank can easily nuke monero back to the Genesis block.

https://youtu.be/X_xgmVLyB94?si=2xyesNW066JWCU0g


The core problem is that bitcoin is a territory of freedom, but it's a territory with no economy.

It's a territory that imports everything from the fiat Dominion.

This is why we are dependent on the fiat authorities. They gatekeep access to all the stuff we want.

We can solve this problem by creating our own economy, and we do this by being more productive and more efficient than the fiat Dominion.

The global economy is currently dependent on slavery. We need it to become dependent on our freedom.

When they attack us, we need the economic teeth to enforce our rights and cause serious damage to the attacker. They do this to us today - comply or lose access to the fiat economy. Bitcoiners need to be productive enough that this flips the other way around - attack our freedom and lose access to the bitcoin economy.

The western world abandoned the enlightenment, China is picking it up and running with it.


Two years ago I liked it because it was acting like a p2p network where you can communicate between pubkeys but without needing to know their IP address or be online at the same time as them.

Now what gets me excited about it is:

1) it's a portable web of trust that's very difficult for the State to fuck with

2) you can build something new and immediately fire test it against real world data and users


It's WW3 and it started with covid, but it's not a war against Russia/China/Iran as they'd like you to believe, it's a war against you and whatever freedoms you still have left. Being in a state of paranoid fear makes it easy to get you under control, most people will fall for it and ask the government to save them just like last time.

All the shitfuckery that the CIA etc pulled in Latin America, Syria, Libya, Ukraine, etc is all going to be used against Americans at home, ain't seen nothin yet.


A good point, and not often considered

Yes but that means the biggest killer of context switching is productivity


The risk of running a node is spread across all users of the network as you describe, this how networks like gnutella etc operate, which was the inspiration for Bitcoin's p2p data dissemination model.

That layer does *not* (and cannot) provide any mitigation against denial of service attacks against the mechanism that solves the double spending problem (transaction ordering).

That's the problem that proof of work (and the fees to mobilize it) solves. This isn't new information that I'm making up, it's been discussed since 2008.


Stay safe from bedbugs


It's fine, this is already priced in. No one believes in the US system anymore.


Sure, the only way to get a transaction into a block today is to pay more than the censor. When central banks attack bitcoin the fees will be multiple orders of magnitude higher than when it's the money jpeg crew.


It's an explanation of Bitcoin's fundamental security model from first principles.

There's nothing in there about ordinals (it's from nearly 5 years ago).


They mean safe for the politicians who forced everyone to participate in a deadly medical experiment.


This is the reason why bitcoin is built around proof of energy.

It enables the market to compete with the censor by mobilizing hashpower with fees.


It absolutely is.

The "child porn" argument has been around since 2009 because you've always been able to put arbitrary data on chain one way or another.


Censorship resistance is a function of fees, so if fees don't go up it means we don't need bitcoin.


People have been trying to get the global south to use bitcoin for a decade now, the fees have only been high for about a year.


I would have found it 🤟


They abandoned it long ago, covid was the last nail in the coffin.


That's 258 bits of entropy so yeah. Assuming your dice are sane, which you shouldn't.


What's the absolute best argument for prohibiting Ordinals etc from using block space (assuming it becomes possible)?

If  the energy fud people can make the same argument against bitcoin itself, it doesn't count.


And also they are going to get you killed.


Based on every other halving, the opposite.


That escalated quickly


Where is that?


Let them build their Tower of Babel, it doesn't matter to Bitcoin. The larger the pool the sooner it will be forced to comply and become unprofitable.

These types of problems are not bitcoin specific, it's just that bitcoin is the tip of the spear and the best chance we have at emancipation, but anything that attempts to undermine the system will entail fierce battles of one kind or another.


Not surprising.

Jihan has been scummy from day 0, undermining the Hong Kong consensus after the roundtable agreement.

He was the hidden hand behind bitcoin cash because his asics were using covert asicboost which is not compatible with segwit blocks.


Every four years the amount of fiat that the banks print doubles, but for bitcoin it halves.

More of this!


Hopefully yes, how are you deriving those figures?


We used to be like "oh looks like the halving was last night and nothing broke" .

Then it become "happy halving" when you ran into another Bitcoin nerd

Then it was "guys, the halving is coming, want to go for drinks or something"?

Now it's like "HOLY SHIT IT'S THE FUCKING HALVING OMG OMG OMG!"

2028 is gonna be nuts.


I've never really cared about havings before, but this one feels very different to all the others.


Companies do not have access to Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is permissionless. What companies call "Bitcoin" is fundamentally different, it is permissioned by the State.

As regulation keeps rolling out it will become increasingly obvious that this is a fork and companies are on the wrong side of it.


Vendor capture is a persistent and fundamental danger to any standardisation process.

## What is an open standard?
To understand why there is no single agreed definition, and to let us build a canonical definition, we can start with two observations:

1. The standardisation process is driven by two conflicting economic motives. Vendors see standards as a route to direct profits, while the market at large sees standards as a route to lower costs.
2. As the economy has become digital, the State has become engaged in the conflict between these two interest groups.

We as open source developers must explicitly take the side of "the market at large". We must not accept the definitions of "open standard" produced by vendor bodies. We must absolutely reject all attempts of legacy vendors to stretch "open standard" to include [RAND-licensed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasonable_and_non-discriminatory_licensing) standards.

An open standard must be aimed at creating unrestricted competition between vendors and unrestricted choice for users. Any barrier to vendor competition or user choice is incompatible with the needs of the market at large.

## Vendor Capture
Looking at the standards "wars" that plagued the telecoms and media industries, we see that the fight is not over technical quality or process. The war is to capture markets through the use of standards backed by patent pools. The goal of vendors who engage in such standards processes is to become part of the cartel and to kill or capture the other cartels.

Vendor capture is thus a persistent and fundamental danger to a standardisation process. Incompetence and human error are fixable by collective processes and time, as long as standards are free to improve. Vendor capture occurs at any stage in the life-cycle of a standard, from development through to long-term use:

* Vendors capture the standards development groups and exclude open participation in the development process. The standards which result become dumps of the vendor's software, which gives significant advantage to vendor.
* Vendors capture the standard specification through copyright and reduce competition from smaller competitors by making it expensive to simply acquire the text.
* Vendors capture the market by introducing patented technology into the standard, silently or explicitly. When many vendors do this, they create franchise standards ("reasonable and non-discriminatory" at the best of times) that enable cartel-like constructions.
* Vendors capture the market by silently extending open standards. Users who thought they were getting an open standard may instead be buying lock-in.
Vendors capture the standards authorities. They do this by setting up their own (like ECMA) or lobbying existing ones (ISO) to promote and accept their advantageous standards.
* Vendors capture existing open standards. They do this by acquiring key patents, long after the market has committed to the standard. Often, such patents were held originally to "defend" the standard.

## Free and Open Standard
The term "open" itself has many degrees of meaning from a high wall with a crack in the door to a field with no walls at all. We wish to secure the terminology by adding the word "free", in both its meanings:

* Freedom to use, improve upon, trust, and extend a standard over time.
* Freedom from all costs and tariffs associated with the above freedoms.

The ambition of freedom in this case is the removal of barriers, of friction, and of costs. It is also the ambition of remaining free over time, especially as the value of the market based on the standard increases.

## A canonical definition
From the above analysis that the interests of established vendors diametrically oppose those of the market at large, we can make a simple canonical definition of "free and open standard" as follows:

* A standard is a published specification.
* It is a a free and open standard if it is immune to vendor capture at all stages in its lifecycle.

## Measuring immunity
Immunity from vendor capture can be measured. This is very useful because it gives us a tool to measure how "free and open" a standard is, and to offer concrete suggestions for improving any given standards process or specification.

We look at each aspect of the standardisation life-cycle, from development to wide-spread use, ignoring quality issues, which we assume an open process will detect and improve.

### The development process
In which experts agree to work together to standardise an area of technology:

* What is the cost of entry for experts? If not very low, independent experts are excluded.
* Do vendors form the majority of developers? If so, the standard will be rapidly captured.
* Do all developers grant their copyrights to the standard by contract? If not, copyright and patent claims may be used later to capture the standard.
* Can others freely fork the standard under a "share-alike" license such as the GPL or MPL? If not, a captured standard cannot be freed again (e.g. the State enforces Apple's capture of freeBSD because it was developed under the "free-to-capture" BSD/MIT license).
* Is the standard developed publicly with no decisions being made out-of-band? If not, external reviewers are excluded and vendors can more easily capture the standard.
* Is the process completely transparent and open? If so, vendor capture is easier to see and correct.
* Is there a process for accepting specification translations? If not, foreign vendors are put at a disadvantage.
* Is the development process hosted by an unruggable platform?

While "forking a specification" may seem counter-productive, we consider this an essential freedom at this stage in the standard life-cycle. Sometimes, a standard will become "loaded" with features that favour one vendor and exclude others, and the best way forward is to fork the standard, strip-out those features, and create a competing standards process. The simple possibility of such competition forces a more honest process.

### The implementation process
In which vendors - often also standards developers - take provisional specifications and use them to make products:

* Is the specification text clear and well-engineered? Vendors often inject complexity into specifications to create barriers to competing implementations.
* Are there reference implementations freely available? This promotes a level playing field. Copy-left implementations ensure that closed source derivatives that silently modify the standard are not possible.
* Is the standard free to implement for any purpose? If particular license conditions apply, this is easily used to exclude competitors.
* Can the specification be freely acquired and distributed? If not, cost can be used to create barriers for smaller competing vendors.
* Is there a process for contributing change proposals back into the standard? If not, it is easier for vendor-developers to capture the standard.
* Are there outstanding patent or copyright claims on the standard? If so, vendors are unable to freely implement the standard.

### The certification process
In which the standards group, or other groups, help define what is a valid implementation and help the market measure and compare implementations:

* Are there conformance tests freely available? This promotes a level playing field among vendors. We would argue that copy-left licenses are most appropriate for conformance tests.
* Is certification done by a form of unruggable organisation that itself can be forked? If not, it is trivially captured through acquisition.
* Are there clear rules for building subsets and extensions? If this is part of the standard specification itself, users can demand better behaviour from vendors.

### The deployment process
In which users use standards-based products to construct their own business infrastructure:

* Is there a real market of competing vendors? If not, this is a sign that the standard has been captured.
* Is the standard mature and well-certified? If not, users can be captured by vendors who release incompatible implementations.
* Is the standard free from patent claims? If not, users are trapped by using the standard in any way at all.

### The authorisation process
In which an authority declares its support and recognition of the standard:

* Is the authority backed by the State or vendors? Vendor-backed authorities are by definition captive, and will readily promote franchise standards as "open".
* Is the authority meritocratic? That is, are its decisions taken by experts with proven track records in standards recognition? If not, the authority can be easily captured by vendors.
* Does the authority have clear, transparent rules on copyright and patent claims? If not, franchise standards can be injected, capturing users by deceit.
* Does the authority have a clear definition of "open standard" that represents the economic interests of the market at large? If not, vendors can more easily defeat open standards with franchise standards.

I was on the streets with the protestors almost every day during both protest periods (2014 and 2019).

There wasn't any censorship at all during 2014 and I think only one forum (lihkg or something) was censored in 2019 if I recall correctly.

Also not much in the way of surveillance other than some cops recording with handheld cameras (very rare, they didn't have the resources to spare people for it).

The most dangerous aspect in terms of surveillance was just other protestors recording stuff on their phones and posting it to Twitter and Facebook.

Bitcoin scaling proposals are solutions looking for a problem.

Same selling point was used for every new shitcoin project from 2013-2017 until people realised that scale is not the limiting factor in adoption.

Bitcoin doesn't need to scale unless it stops acting  as a financial instrument within the Fiat economy. That can only happen if we as Bitcoiners produce goods and services more efficiently than the fiat economy.

Well said. This doesn't need to escalate. It probably will, but it doesn't need to.

Iran is a member of the SCO and part of the defence pact with Russia and China, if Israel escalates that's one thing, but if the US provides direct support they'll receive a much needed education.

People to not understand what the word “meekness” means.
They think it means timid, or passive. When in reality its origins are closer to something like “power under self control which does not demand recognition”
The more meek a person is, the higher their ability to separate your head from your body, and the higher their will to choose not to, while letting you wrongly think they can’t.

According to this meaning, the Old Testament says, “Moses was the meekest man on the earth” which fascinates me….

He's using Bitcoin as a financial instrument within the Fiat Dominion.

Microstrategy doesn't hold one single Bitcoin. Bitcoin is permissionless, what microstrategy holds is permissioned by the State/money printer.

When push comes to shove, Saylor will side with the money printer because his bitcoin is permissioned by that system.

The money printer wants war, and Saylor is simping for them.


The more you reinforce a system based on theft, the more it steals from you, divides you, and then controls you.

From that system, war is inevitable because it is a requirement that you believe it is someone else’s fault to retain its power over you.

With the chaos from the existing system bound to expand over the next number of years, it will be easy to get pulled back in.

The more you reinforce a system based on truth, the faster the world changes to hope and abundance. We are early, but our actions matter more than we realize. Every node (we) matters.

Keep the higher ground, and help others see it.

## What is an open standard?
To understand why there is no single agreed definition, and to let us build a canonical definition, we can start with two observations:

1. The standardisation process is driven by two conflicting economic motives. Vendors see standards as a route to direct profits, while the market at large sees standards as a route to lower costs.
2. As the economy has become digital, the State has become engaged in the conflict between these two interest groups.

We as open source developers must explicitly take the side of "the market at large". We must not accept the definitions of "open standard" produced by vendor bodies. We must absolutely reject all attempts of legacy vendors to stretch "open standard" to include [RAND-licensed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasonable_and_non-discriminatory_licensing) standards.

An open standard must be aimed at creating unrestricted competition between vendors and unrestricted choice for users. Any barrier to vendor competition or user choice is incompatible with the needs of the market at large.

## Vendor Capture
Looking at the standards "wars" that plagued the telecoms and media industries, we see that the fight is not over technical quality or process. The war is to capture markets through the use of standards backed by patent pools. The goal of vendors who engage in such standards processes is to become part of the cartel and to kill or capture the other cartels.

Vendor capture is thus a persistent and fundamental danger to a standardisation process. Incompetence and human error are fixable by collective processes and time, as long as standards are free to improve. Vendor capture occurs at any stage in the life-cycle of a standard, from development through to long-term use:

* Vendors capture the standards development groups and exclude open participation in the development process. The standards which result become dumps of the vendor's software, which gives significant advantage to vendor.
* Vendors capture the standard specification through copyright and reduce competition from smaller competitors by making it expensive to simply acquire the text.
* Vendors capture the market by introducing patented technology into the standard, silently or explicitly. When many vendors do this, they create franchise standards ("reasonable and non-discriminatory" at the best of times) that enable cartel-like constructions.
* Vendors capture the market by silently extending open standards. Users who thought they were getting an open standard may instead be buying lock-in.
Vendors capture the standards authorities. They do this by setting up their own (like ECMA) or lobbying existing ones (ISO) to promote and accept their advantageous standards.
* Vendors capture existing open standards. They do this by acquiring key patents, long after the market has committed to the standard. Often, such patents were held originally to "defend" the standard.

## Free and Open Standard
The term "open" itself has many degrees of meaning from a high wall with a crack in the door to a field with no walls at all. We wish to secure the terminology by adding the word "free", in both its meanings:

* Freedom to use, improve upon, trust, and extend a standard over time.
* Freedom from all costs and tariffs associated with the above freedoms.

The ambition of freedom in this case is the removal of barriers, of friction, and of costs. It is also the ambition of remaining free over time, especially as the value of the market based on the standard increases.

## A canonical definition
From the above analysis that the interests of established vendors diametrically oppose those of the market at large, we can make a simple canonical definition of "free and open standard" as follows:

* A standard is a published specification.
* It is a a free and open standard if it is immune to vendor capture at all stages in its lifecycle.

## Measuring immunity
Immunity from vendor capture can be measured. This is very useful because it gives us a tool to measure how "free and open" a standard is, and to offer concrete suggestions for improving any given standards process or specification.

We look at each aspect of the standardisation life-cycle, from development to wide-spread use, ignoring quality issues, which we assume an open process will detect and improve.

### The development process
In which experts agree to work together to standardise an area of technology:

* What is the cost of entry for experts? If not very low, independent experts are excluded.
* Do vendors form the majority of developers? If so, the standard will be rapidly captured.
* Do all developers grant their copyrights to the standard by contract? If not, copyright and patent claims may be used later to capture the standard.
* Can others freely fork the standard under a "share-alike" license such as the GPL or MPL? If not, a captured standard cannot be freed again (e.g. the State enforces Apple's capture of freeBSD because it was developed under the "free-to-capture" BSD/MIT license).
* Is the standard developed publicly with no decisions being made out-of-band? If not, external reviewers are excluded and vendors can more easily capture the standard.
* Is the process completely transparent and open? If so, vendor capture is easier to see and correct.
* Is there a process for accepting specification translations? If not, foreign vendors are put at a disadvantage.
* Is the development process hosted by an unruggable platform?

While "forking a specification" may seem counter-productive, we consider this an essential freedom at this stage in the standard life-cycle. Sometimes, a standard will become "loaded" with features that favour one vendor and exclude others, and the best way forward is to fork the standard, strip-out those features, and create a competing standards process. The simple possibility of such competition forces a more honest process.

### The implementation process
In which vendors - often also standards developers - take provisional specifications and use them to make products:

* Is the specification text clear and well-engineered? Vendors often inject complexity into specifications to create barriers to competing implementations.
* Are there reference implementations freely available? This promotes a level playing field. Copy-left implementations ensure that closed source derivatives that silently modify the standard are not possible.
* Is the standard free to implement for any purpose? If particular license conditions apply, this is easily used to exclude competitors.
* Can the specification be freely acquired and distributed? If not, cost can be used to create barriers for smaller competing vendors.
* Is there a process for contributing change proposals back into the standard? If not, it is easier for vendor-developers to capture the standard.
* Are there outstanding patent or copyright claims on the standard? If so, vendors are unable to freely implement the standard.

### The certification process
In which the standards group, or other groups, help define what is a valid implementation and help the market measure and compare implementations:

* Are there conformance tests freely available? This promotes a level playing field among vendors. We would argue that copy-left licenses are most appropriate for conformance tests.
* Is certification done by a form of unruggable organisation that itself can be forked? If not, it is trivially captured through acquisition.
* Are there clear rules for building subsets and extensions? If this is part of the standard specification itself, users can demand better behaviour from vendors.

### The deployment process
In which users use standards-based products to construct their own business infrastructure:

* Is there a real market of competing vendors? If not, this is a sign that the standard has been captured.
* Is the standard mature and well-certified? If not, users can be captured by vendors who release incompatible implementations.
* Is the standard free from patent claims? If not, users are trapped by using the standard in any way at all.

### The authorisation process
In which an authority declares its support and recognition of the standard:

* Is the authority backed by the State or vendors? Vendor-backed authorities are by definition captive, and will readily promote franchise standards as "open".
* Is the authority meritocratic? That is, are its decisions taken by experts with proven track records in standards recognition? If not, the authority can be easily captured by vendors.
* Does the authority have clear, transparent rules on copyright and patent claims? If not, franchise standards can be injected, capturing users by deceit.
* Does the authority have a clear definition of "open standard" that represents the economic interests of the market at large? If not, vendors can more easily defeat open standards with franchise standards.

I'm totally new to programming for the browser but I'm starting to appreciate the challenge (actually quite a lot more difficult than systems level programming in many ways).

The main gotchya I'm hitting is that the browser is built around a single threaded event loop. It alternates between doing computation, and updating the page. When a page feels all clunky and slow it's (probably) because the computation part is taking a long time and blocking all the other updates waiting to be rendered on the page.

But it turns out there are these things called web workers, which allow computation to be done "on the side" and not block anything.

If I can manage to get all the relay/subscription and event computation done within web workers, this should make the user experience much smoother and generally improve the performance of the nostrocket client.

I'm experimenting here if anyone wants to follow the progress: https://github.com/nostrocket/buttr


That makes me think the truckers should have used Chinese bank accounts instead.

Politicians just proved during covid they are 100% bought and paid for by whoever has the biggest wallet and the last thing on their minds are the suckers who think it's a democracy. Canada and Australia seemed to be the absolute worst offenders.


The problem isn't that tiktok is gathering all this data, the problem is that they aren't sharing it with the US agencies like every other social media company does.

They need it to be owned by someone who will give them full access, so basically anyone other than the Chinese, Russians, or Iranians.


Looks like corporate tax and income tax is higher in the US than it is Canada.

Tax robs you of economic opportunity.


Ease of starting a business, tax rates, regulatory efficiency, government size etc are the kind of things they look at.

The numbers are very close though relative to the rest of the list, the ordering is probably just splitting hairs. US and Canada are in the same grouping, which I'd say is accurate.

Dr. Hoffe determined that up to 62% of his patients who got the Covid mRNA vaccine develop micro-blood-clots too small to detect on MRI or CT scan. He was the first medical expert to state publicly that these blood clots are not rare. According to Hoffe, these micro-clots permeate the capillary network in the vaxxed, resulting in blockage of capillaries (pulmonary arterial hypertension); this condition usually kills people within 3 years, and those who survive may suffer steady deterioration, especially if they take another Covid shot. The only way you can find out if the Covid “vaccine” gave you micro-blood clots is to ask your doctor to give you a D-dimer test, like the one Dr. Hoffe has performed on his patients.[5]


In his March 7, 2024 interview about the upcoming trial, Hoffe notes that OpenVAERS currently reports “almost 70,000 permanently disabled and about 2 million vaccine injuries, and yet Health Canada and the FDA look the other way and continue to tell us it’s safe and effective.” At the time of this writing, OpenVAERS registered 37,231 COVID vaccine reported deaths.


In a speech delivered at the site of the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Vancouver in August 2022, Dr. Hoffe declared: “What we have seen in the last 18 months since the start of the vaccine rollout is the biggest disaster in medical history. Never before in medical history has any medical treatment killed and maimed so many people….You only have to look at the OpenVAERS.com in the USA. 30,000 people dead, 55,000 permanently disabled, 50,000 cases of myocarditis, and 1.3 million vaccine injuries…This is an utterly failed experiment, and the College of Physicians and Surgeons here in B.C. is the one organization who could have and should have said no.”[3]


In other words, a Stalinist show trial designed to intimidate all doctors and patients who value medical freedom of choice, the right to a fair trial, freedom of speech, and medical ethics.


Prominent Canadian physician  Dr. Charles Hoffe has spoken out courageously to warn people of the very serious dangers of the Covid mRNA genetic “vaccines”.  He now faces trial from the Canadian health authorities aiming to silence him and effectively destroy his medical practice.


It's just cold and miserable, and full of statists


That's a big "if".

Most people have no reason to self custody because they have no need to spend coins.

Everything they want to spend money on is produced by the Fiat Dominion. There's nothing they want to buy that requires payment in Bitcoin.  And so they only care about number go up, and the ability to off-ramp into fiat.

Thus, they are better off with a financial instrument that is linked to the price of Bitcoin because they are guaranteed to have an off ramp into the real Fiat economy that produces all the stuff.

And so we're on a direct track to a paper bitcoin market just like we ended up with a paper gold market.

Unless Bitcoiners actually start producing goods and services more efficiently than Fiat companies, we have no need for Bitcoin to scale.

This is also why governments and bankers aren't terribly concerned yet, they don't just print money for free, they also gate keep the global economy.

Once upon a time, in a lush, verdant valley nestled among rolling hills, there lived a humble horse named Milo. Unlike the other horses in the valley who prided themselves on their glossy coats and swift gallops, Milo was a simple, unassuming creature. His coat was a soft shade of chestnut, and though it lacked the sheen of his peers, it carried the warmth of the earth.

Milo spent his days wandering the meadows, his gentle eyes observing the world with quiet curiosity. He never vied for attention or sought to lead the herd; instead, he found joy in the simple pleasures of life—the sweet taste of clover, the cool shade of the old oak tree, and the soothing sound of the creek that meandered through the valley.

One day, a fierce storm swept through the valley, the likes of which had not been seen in many years. The horses panicked, scattering in all directions, their instincts driving them to seek shelter. But amidst the chaos, Milo remained calm. He remembered an abandoned barn he had discovered in his wanderings, hidden away in a forgotten corner of the valley.
With a steady heart, Milo approached the frightened horses, his calm demeanor soothing their nerves. He led them to the barn, guiding them through the raging storm with unwavering confidence. Inside, the horses huddled together, finding comfort in their shared warmth. As the storm raged outside, Milo watched over his companions, his presence a reassuring beacon in the darkness.

When the dawn broke, revealing a world washed anew by the storm, the horses emerged from the barn to find the valley transformed. Flowers bloomed with renewed vigor, and the creek sang a lively tune as it flowed through the rejuvenated land.
The other horses looked at Milo with newfound respect. He had not only saved them from the storm but had also shown them the strength that lies in humility and the power of quiet courage. From that day forward, Milo was no longer just another horse in the valley. He was a friend, a leader, and a reminder that true greatness often comes in the most unassuming packages.

And so, Milo continued to roam the meadows, his spirit as free as the wind. But now, he did so with a band of friends by his side, each of them touched by the gentle heart of the humble horse who had shown them the way through the storm.

While attending the first cohort of Sovereign Engineering I was able to observe how some people are able to accomplish more in a week than others do in a year.

We all have varying levels of intelligence and capabilities, but adopting a professional approach to life is like taking these gifts and strapping them to a rocket.

**The best way to describe what this professional approach looks like is to compare it to that of the amateur:**

Amateurs think knowledge is power. Professionals freely pass on their wisdom and advice.

Amateurs blame others. Professionals accept responsibility.

Amateurs believe that the world should work the way they want it to. Professionals realise that they have to work with the world as it is.

Amateurs focus only on speed. Professionals focus on speed and direction.

Amateurs clutch to a safety net which holds them back. Professionals let go.

Amateurs are intermittent. Professionals are consistent.

Amateurs focus on the very next thing. Professionals ask "then what?".

Amateurs worry about what they can see. Professionals worry about what they can’t see.

Amateurs focus on being right. Professionals focus on the result.

Amateurs wait until they feel like it. Professionals do it when they don’t feel like it.

Amateurs rely on willpower. Professionals focus on creating an environment that turns desired behaviours into default behaviours.

Amateurs value doing it once. Professionals value doing it consistently.

Amateurs focus on the outcome. Professionals focus on the process.

Amateurs see feedback and coaching as someone criticising who they are. Professionals know they have blind spots and seek out thoughtful criticism.

Amateurs wait for someone to recognise them, tap them on the shoulder, and give them a big opportunity. Professionals just go out and show people what they're capable of and DGAF if people recognise them or not.

Amateurs want to win the battle. Professionals want to win the war.

Amateurs stop when they achieve something. Professionals view the initial achievement as a launchpad for the next step.

Amateurs focus on dividing the pie. Professionals focus on growing the pie.

Amateurs have goals. Professionals have a system.

Amateurs are kinda-in. Professionals are all-in.

Yep! Just pinged you on telegram


Packing peanuts are an affinity scam


Very nice, south island of new zealand https://image.nostr.build/58a24c6c369cb250b593c50dbee537cc9bfc1767607f59aa71c04f1cbd4a5733.jpg


They already have all that data


Corrugated cardboard is one of the unsung heros of the modern world.


We aren't there yet, but if it keeps growing there will probably be a whole new class of shitfuckery directed at nostr


I found a picture of one of them:

Well that escalated quickly


nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc is working on it


Yep I feel it too. Something is happening.


See you when you wake up

We'll break him out sooner or later.


What does it look like when we are just the reptile brain for AI?


What do you like working with/on?


I just read your profile page. Do you have any examples of what you've done with tailwind? I could use someone to help with styling etc. Also have you built anything with svelte?


The critical aspect is that it's a race to the bottom of the barrel. Everyone wants to either be the cheapest or hire the cheapest, so you end up with a pool of retards on both sides of the equation.


I'm seeing your notes, how is this possible


It really sucks getting turned down for a job because I have "too much experience". 😮💨

I'm trying to move forward in my career. If you need an expert web developer who thinks outside the box and can make amazing things happen, hit me up and I'll send over my CV/résumé.

The halting problem: it's not possible to know if an engineer will ever stop engineering.


We are hill climbing towards this instead of tcp/ip: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information-centric_networking


I can jump in and host for a bit


Put it back in your pants


nostr:npub1jk9h2jsa8hjmtm9qlcca942473gnyhuynz5rmgve0dlu6hpeazxqc3lqz7 are you doing a 24 hour show for the halving?


I'm in Dunedin right now, where are you?


It says you can still send bitcoin though?


Are there any nostriches living in Auckland? I'll be around from the 16th to the 22nd if anyone wants to meet up!

Ping nostr:npub1wmr34t36fy03m8hvgl96zl3znndyzyaqhwmwdtshwmtkg03fetaqhjg240 nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c

Please repost and/or tag anyone in AKL


There's a lot of work to be done, but the improvements over the last 24 months are incredible. If you want things to accelerate or to take a different direction, then find your own way to contribute towards that.

Developers are sacraficing their income to work on nostr as a passion project, if you are very nice, and make a solid effort to carefully articulate the problems you encounter or visually express the improvements you want to see, then it will usually be taken seriously and dealt with at some point.

If you want to be heared, proof of work is key. Don't ask what nostr can do for you, ask what you can do for nostr.


It was a rough week, the voice was courtesy of nostr:npub1klkk3vrzme455yh9rl2jshq7rc8dpegj3ndf82c3ks2sk40dxt7qulx3vt and nostr:npub1aljazgxlpnpfp7n5sunlk3dvfp72456x6nezjw4sd850q879rxqsthg9jp 🤣


nostr:npub1lunaq893u4hmtpvqxpk8hfmtkqmm7ggutdtnc4hyuux2skr4ttcqr827lj is great and all but the best part of this episode is nostr:npub1mygerccwqpzyh9pvp6pv44rskv40zutkfs38t0hqhkvnwlhagp6s3psn5p‘s husky blues voice.

Keep up with the whisky and cigarettes brother. It’s working great. 😅

Can you sign for multiple wallets or still just the one?


At minimum 😂 the one I currently need to edit is 5 hours long


If you want in-depth information about Roman's case listen to nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx on Citadel Dispatch and hear from the legal team directly

It is shocking.

Ping nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8 in Madeira you said you had someone, can you hook me up?


Excellent! Great to hear 😁😎


HIRING: Someone to edit podcasts.

It's a lot of work and requires listening through the whole thing to edit out any boring parts while keeping the flow, etc.

DM me if you're interested 👀


Someone gave me a Ledger in like '18 and I saw that it had a few massively long traces, sure enough I was able to get interesting signals from it with a hackrf


That's what they're saying now 🤣


I've started calling it `MASTER` in all caps now


Both are good
