Looking at a house. I can afford it. It's got everything I want. But it's 90 minutes away. In the middle of nowhere. I want to fuck off to the middle of nowhere though. Only working three days a week anyway, so not a huge deal for me to spend 3 hours driving to from work only 3 days a week to keep my easy job. Thinking I might do this. Going to go check it out with the realtor right after Christmas.

There's nothing like being butt hurt your transactions aren't being processed by a node implementation like doing the reverse and refusing to process any of those transactions by that node implementation.

Someone should teach those people about network partioning splits and the privacy implications of running custom peer connection logic. Good job making each dojo node even easier to attack.

So confession: I actually started paying for Shitter Premium a couple months ago.

The purpose is to raise visibility of my drive-by reply guy activity. The reason is that I turned my account into a billboard for Nostr.

I don't have many followers over there so my replies get buried by the algorithm.

It's worth $8 a month or so to me to be able to evangelize Nostr and bring more people over to our cult.

I need to update the Web clients on my pinned post. I never use web clients for Nostr anymore except occasionally Primal, so which top 3 should I recommend?

I remember when we were all concerned that there was too much hashpower concentrated in China.

China banned mining and the hashpower left.

Now I'm concerned that there's too much hashpower concentrated in the United States.

USA will not ban mining, but they will seek to control it.

Will the miners choose to spend the $$$ to relocate away from this regulatory regime if their mining revenue inside the USA remains profitable?

Some will for ideological reasons, but I think most won't.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but running your node with a larger cache gives these low fee rate transactions a place to live while they're getting purged from all the nodes that run a default cache size, and they can then propagate back out across the network later, no? I've always run a 2GB cache because I had this assumption.

#Nostr fixes this


A lot of custodial exchanges used to let you send/withdraw below a certain threshold without doing KYC. I don't know if they still do because I haven't used any custodial exchanges in a while. I was never forced to KYC on Bittrex but I never moved volume through there. I think Alby at least for now won't have to force anyone to KYC if the user's transaction volume value stays below $1000/month and $600 for any single transaction.


Woke up in kind of a shit mood. Got work and court today. Court will likely just be a continuance for another month.

Ah there was an update. I was unaware.


It's cool that X is monetizing content creators because most other social media platforms don't even do that, but it's still a bullshit model.

Advertisers and subscribers pay a corporate entity and that Corp lets a little trickle down to the content creators.

On Nostr V4V zaps are going directly from user to user. It's a small trickle now, because Nostr is still a small community, but when this shit scales it's going to be huge!

Zaps are going to blow all other content monetization models away. The more we #GrowNostr the greater the incentive becomes for more and more content creators to join.

When you zap our developers and users you're investing in the growth of Nostr.

Zap the devs. Zap the artists, creators, meme lords. Zap notes and replies with original and insightful thoughts. Every zap can #GrowNostr

Go forth and zap ⚡🚀💜

Sometimes my posts are a half-baked notion that just popped into my head. Sometimes it's something that I've been stewing on for a few days. You never know.


I found a lumberyard/hardware store nearby that is not a chain store. Its literally in the woods, next to a locally owned fruit stand, and they have free fresh brewed coffee at the front of the store.
I tried to discern how theyve been able to stay in business with a Lowes nearby, and Amazon being ubiquitous.
Its service. They have several offices on the side with super knowledgable people, who do nothing but try to make contractors lives easier. All a contractor has to do is call their favorite rep, and whatever they need, will be delivered to a jobsite.
That, is why they aren’t just surviving, they’re busy.
And that is what is increasingly missing in the mega corporate box store world. Which means opportunities…

Sadly most bitcoiners today seem to be ok with institutional and state capture as long as number go up. The sovereign freedom money folks are still here, but they've been diluted to a minority and their voices are being drowned out or they've just stopped speaking.


I don't think this problem they're trying to solve even exists in my state. This law is really making a statement more than anything. Whether it's appropriate action depends on whether or not you believe the child wanting to gender transition is a victim of abusive influence by adults. I think you would have to evaluate any individual instance for that.


Good point. If a parent gave their kids methamphetamine we would probably expect the state to intervene in that case. It's violating the parents right to decide what's best for their child, but it's also clear that the parent is abusing that right and harming the child.

But also I think my state legislature is reacting to a problem that isn't really happening in my state. This is very conservative Idaho, not wacko leftist California. The two families in the state that want to gender transition their kid will just move across the state line to Washington.

They're more making a statement with this law than solving a problem that actually exists.


Wow


On the other hand, we tend to expect the government to intervene judiciously in cases of child abuse.


That's my concern with this. Feels like overreach.

Meh, would probably do it all over again but do it a little different. On the other hand, when my son is older I'll strongly discourage him from serving. Stacking sats for my kids so that they have more options when they grow up other than working a dead end job or doing military service.

Economic incentives are not the only motivator of human behavior.


As a former theoretical physics grad, I want the nostrverse to know that dark energy and dark matter are not "bullshit" or "fiat science".

The whole point of real science is to find the model that best accounts experimental measurements and better predicts future ones.

Such model is not required to have a "satisfying" semantic/philosophical human "explanation". This is not a Netflix movie or some shit. Science is about the how, religion is about the why.

Dark matter and dark energy really accurately explain the redshift from observerd galaxies better than anything else. Like it or not, it's the best we have until something else comes along.

Many "made up" things eventually got so normalized no one thinks they are bullshit anymore: atoms (like everything is legos, seriously?!), neutrons, neutrinos, etc.

More than KYC, regulatory capture in general is the greatest unaddressed risk. Capture of exchanges, pools operators, and hashpower providers. Forced doxxing of users. Forcing pools to only include transactions where sender and receiver are both doxxed. Forcing hashpower providers to only send their hashes to the compliant pools.

If the majority of the hashpower is caught up in this, they can not only exclude non-compliant transactions, but can also orphan valid blocks added to the chain by non-compliant nodes in unregulated jurisdictions.


I think it would be funny with StratumV2 to work on block templates that prioritize smallest byte size, IOW trying to fit as many individual transactions in the block as possible, regardless of fee rate.

Bitcoin is not a free for all. It's a system of rules that are purpose born. Somebody is exploiting a loophole in the current rule set to use it for purposes other than financial transactions. We don't even have enough block space for the original purpose. Bitcoin does not need to and should not carry other types of data. Other networks can serve those other purposes.

"Market commentators such as Altana Digital Currency chief investment officer Alistair Milne described El Salvador’s million-dollar visa program as “uncompetitive” when considered next to those offered by countries like Malta, which tout full European citizenship for $810,000."

Cost of citizenship in El Salvador:  $1,000,000
Cost of citizenship in Malta: $810,000

If you can afford either then good for you but it would seem applicable to open up at least a few slots to people that don't have that kind of money. It'd at least be interesting to watch which group actually does more for their adopted country economically.

BITCOIN IS DEAD! LONG LIVE BITCOIN!


“Lightning is dead,” said the tech startup founders with competing ideas.


Nobody on Nostr thinks that "lightning is dead", but if you venture over to Shitter/X and look around you will find that this misconception is alive and circulating.

This bullshit is spam.

https://i.nostr.build/OP4Q.jpg

Pools should be filtering at least the largest and most egregious examples of this bullshit from their block templates until core devs fix this bullshit.

Devs should fix it.

Everyone defending this bullshit is on the wrong side of the debate.

This is critical financial software, not a fucking game.


GM Nostr!


If you believe that the code has reached a state of perfection I suppose. No more flaws. In 2010 the code allowed someone to create 184 million Bitcoin. That was not intended, but the code as it was at the time allowed it to happen. When the code permits things to happen that were not intended, it should be adjusted. People being able to stuff large amounts of non-financial data into a transaction was an unintended consequence of the Taproot update. Should we suddenly decide that there should be no more updates? I don't follow that logic. This is critical financial software. It's not a fucking game, and it's not a public graffiti wall. There is already not enough block space for financial data.


This show is not realistic at all, but I guess it's entertaining if I just turn off that part of my brain.


Oh I remember now, I added it to my Blocklist in amethyst. No messages or notifications after that.

Users, contributing developers, block producing nodes, and hash providers all play a role.


Some of the largest miners only care about revenue and wouldn't give a shit if every block was all ordinals, but if that were the case then Bitcoin will have failed it's purpose. Can't rely solely on miner incentives.


These things aren't too scary yet because they still walk like Joe Biden, but give it 2-3 more years... 😳

https://youtube.com/shorts/2cukB4_hDCI


Blocking ordinals from Bitcoin is not stifling anyone's free speech. Those degens are free to do whatever they want with stupid jpegs on the Internet.

The Bitcoin blockchain is intended to record one single type of data: financial transactions. Any other type of data on the Bitcoin blockchain is spam and doesn't belong.

I don't understand the ordinal apologists trying to justify people stuffing a square peg in a round hole.

Bitcoin is not the everything app and never should be.


State actors are almost certainly already scraping all of the accessible Nostr relays and building a database.

Happened in August 2010


And bigger. That's the problem.


Bitcoin is not a free for all. It is a system of rules that are purpose born. When somebody finds a way to exploit a loophole in those rules in a manner that does not respect the purpose of Bitcoin, that loophole must be closed to ensure that the system can still serve it's purpose. When a dude found a vulnerability that enabled him to mint 184 million Bitcoin, the developers fixed it, and nobody was screaming "muh free market!" over them fixing the code.


The internet is making some people smarter and more educated, but only the people who were smart to begin with.


Permissionlessness is why we have to be vigilant about closing off new attack vectors.

You push an update (Taproot) to critical software (Bitcoin). You discover later that that update opened a new attack vector. You don't fucking say "oh well, we shouldn't fix this." 🤷


Taproot was a solution to a problem. Ordinals are an unintended consequence of that solution. When you update critical software and the update leads to an unintended consequence, you fucking fix it.


Ordinals are fucking retarded.

Satoshi didn't create Bitcoin for retarded fucking degenerates to trade retarded fucking jpegs on.

The only people more retarded than the retarded fucking taproot wizards are the retarded fucking bitcoiners defending what they're doing.

Old fashioned and Moscow mule are my two favorite cocktails.


Fuck the state, but also choose your battles wisely.


It's a trivial expense for them to pay to access paid relays. There are certainly nation state actors surveying Nostr by now. Especially because it's used by bitcoiners.


Doubt they bother running a relay, but sure that have a client that is scraping all our relays.


I WILL NOT STOP USING A BLASTR RELAY!

MY NOTES WILL BE ON ALL OPEN RELAYS!

EVEN THAT ONE THAT THE CIA IS RUINING. THEY LOVE MY NOTES!


I made the same mistake! Followed the 1000+ npubs that were following me and after a few weeks of that I had to go though and clean out my follow list.


Nostr is an information fire hose and there is a lot of noise in that information flow. You definitely need to be selective about who you follow. If one of my followers reposts something thoughtful and original from somebody else, I'll follow that person. My feed now is high signal low noise.


I start sentences with conjunctions often.


I was following over 1000 accounts before I cut it down. Unfollowed everyone who never had anything of substance to say.


We don't. Scammers gonna scam and rubes gonna get duped. Continue to educate wherever possible, and "he who has ears to hear, let him hear!" Won't save everybody. Bitcoin is an IQ test.


THC does that 🤷


I often Google something and then end up going to search for it on DuckDuckGo. Google filters and buries too much information.

Try searching for Alex Jones. You won't find his website, just a bunch of articles saying he's a bad bad man.

Yeah the limit is low. For bigger buys I use Moonpay because even though there's a premium, they send the Bitcoin directly to a wallet that I control for just the network fee and they've only ever required me to verify a phone number and email. I hate exchanges because most of them have a withdrawal fee.


Yeah I opened an account back in 2015, bought a little Bitcoin, withdrew it, and the next day they closed my account for 'suspicious transaction activity' and wouldn't tell me why. Fuck em.


I have about 6x more followers on Nostr than on X, and I get like 100x more engagement over here. Plus the quality of engagement/discussion over here is unmatched by that on X.


I have a personal vendetta against CashApp, because reasons.

Strike is also super fast and easy. You can set up an account, deposit, buy sats, and withdraw them to self custody all in under 5 minutes.


A few years ago I wiped all my devices when I was in a state of bipolar mania. I was eventually able to regain access to my Google account, but I had to go through so many steps and it took about a week. Important points:

1. I was able to regain access after nuking all my devices

2. But it was REALLY hard! Knowing my password was not enough.


Ridiculous, but also I must tip my hat to his fundraising. No other candidate could do this with as much success. 🙄🤷

https://m.primal.net/HTfI.png


But can she cook?


That was a good one yes! I watched it last Friday at work after the Unconfiscatable conference ended.


I like also that you can encrypt your password file with an additional passphrase, so that even if somebody manages to get through all the hurdles to gain access to your account, they still have to brute force their way into your saved passwords. With a sufficiently long and complex enough passphrase, this is nearly impossible.

I haven't found a password manager that's both as secure and convenient as just storing them all in my Google account.

If somebody were able to gain access they could PWN my entire life, but the risk is high severity, low probability, IMO.


If Block Inc ever gets around to putting out a #Bitcoin lightning point of sale system that integrates seamlessly with Square, I am going to start orange pilling businesses so hard! 🧡⚡🚀


Google seamlessly syncs across all my devices and has better account security if you use all of the security features available.


Any thick natural oil is sufficient. Using it daily will keep the hair soft and groomable.

One thing I forgot to mention is that you should never allow oil stripping face scrubs to touch your beard. They'll leave hair dry and damaged.

I use face scrub on the upper half of my face as well as my ears and neck, because I have oily skin and even at 38 years old I'm still prone to a little acne from time to time. But I rinse it quickly so it doesn't harm my beard hair.

I actually use a good quality shampoo and conditioner to wash my beard.


It probably bothers me 100x more than anyone reading my posts when I accidentally post something with 'then' instead of 'than' or 'their' instead of 'they're' 🤷🤣


Why I still use the Google 🤷


For oil, I prefer using beard balms that have a high beeswax content. They have better hold then using oil alone.
https://i.nostr.build/dlQl.jpg


Mine's actually a bit thin on the sides but you can't tell because of the way I trim it.

You brush it all down, put a guard on the clippers, and comb downward with the guard. This way you're only trimming the few stubborn hairs that refuse to be brushed down. After a few weeks of doing this it fills out pretty well. 👍


Thanks!

TY sir!


#Beardstr tips:

Having a well groomed beard is the difference between looking like a gentleman and looking like a bum.

Every morning before you leave the house you should wash+dry+oil+brush it.

Once it grows out to near the size you want, you should start trimming it weekly. There are lots of tutorials on YouTube on how to do this properly. Don't trim it more often than once a week or less often than every two weeks.

Also carry a small comb in your pocket so that you can tame it throughout the day.

Peru has always been of interest to me. Costs Rica as well.

Several pros and cons I see with the Philippines. There are two American VA hospitals there so I would still have access to free healthcare if needed.

Estonia is beautiful but cold.

Same with Iceland. Cost of living there isn't cheap enough I don't think.

Central/South America is where I'm looking mostly. Spanish is an easy language to pick up and I already have the basics of it from studying it in public school.

Most of Western Europe is IMO worse than the USA.

Asian languages are very hard to master as a native English speaker.

Africa is fascinating and I want to learn more about some of the countries there.

Australia is totally cucked by their government, worse than the USA and EU.

New Zealand cost of living is too high.


They're already starting to transition over to the BSV network actually, because it's much cheaper to do this over there. BSV will spit out gigabyte sized blocks to avoid upward few pressure.

Land management and water rights in Western states are a complicated and contentious issue with many examples of federal overreach.

Yes, the federal government is claiming to be the victim. 👀

The federal government controls 61.65% of all land in the state of Idaho. But Idaho law grants water rights to those who are actually using the water for beneficial purposes.

However we must ensure that self-sovereignty is available to all who want it on our L2 solutions.

Custodial L2 is just banking system 2.0

"Simply put veterans are trained antifragility practitioners.  They completely understand how physical and mental stress are valuable training tools.  Countless popular movies portray drill instructors pushing trainees beyond their physical and mental limits.  Every military officer and every enlisted trooper has a story recounting how they were punished and abused in Basic Training and far beyond.

On the other hand, most service members will admit they were better off because of the harsh treatment, especially the combat veterans.  This element of military service is also an iconic theme in war movies.  The shit you take now makes you stronger when it counts the most.

Military veterans bring these qualities into the Bitcoin space.  Antifragile warriors devoted to an antifragile project that will save the world.  What could be better?"

People have been trying to interpret the book of revelation ever since it was written almost two millennia ago.

For centuries there have been people warning that the end of the world as we know it is just around the corner.

Climate alarmism is just a modern iteration of the same old trope, rebranded for atheists and agnostics.


Personally won't bother with a second account. I cover a panacea of topics with this account and people seem to like it.


One of the most important and underappreciated features of Coldcard IMO is that it's built for longevity. You can put it away in your safe for 25+ years and expect it to still work when you take it out.

Most people using the internet have no fucking clue how any of it works. They just want it to work.

People keep money in two places, a wallet or a bank.

When normies tap their card to pay at the store they don't care how NFC works or how the card is authenticating with the PoS terminal. They just want to pay for their shit.

Keep it simple for them or they will decide it's too complicated to bother with.

Done trying all these different fans. Waste of my time and money.


Fucking government run ponzi


Beats me. Wondering if it's unique to the K model S9s? I can't get it to start hashing with any other fans that I've tried. These ones I'm using now are 3000rpm and move plenty of air so it's not an overheated issue. But it reboots right at the time that it should start hashing. Slower fans trigger a fault. Stock fans are just too loud, but it will happily hash away with the stock fans.


Fucking useless garbage only works with the loud ass factory fans.

Land management and water rights in Western states are a complicated and contentious issue with many examples of federal overreach.

In this new case: "the federal government has filed suit against the state of Idaho in federal district court, saying that they are being discriminated against."

Yes, the federal government is claiming to be the victim. 👀

The federal government controls 61.65% of all land in the state of Idaho. But Idaho law grants water rights to those who are actually using the water for beneficial purposes.

True of a lot of value network projects that I've seen. But when most of those projects were being conceptualized, lightning was not as usable as it is today. It's come a long way in 3 short years.

Even BitTorrent

Could all benefit from integrating Bitcoin lightning payments


If you only stack and hodl, you can patiently wait for network fees to come down before you consolidate your UTXOs and move sats to cold storage, or manage your lightning channels.

People actually trying to conduct commerce on Bitcoin RIGHT NOW can't be so ambivalent toward transaction spam driving up network fees. They might need to open a lightning channel today, not next week.

A shorter answer;
PoS takes the rent-seeking middleman mentality of our modern fiat economy and applies it to digital currency. It's a rich get richer system that discourages productive investment, because wealthy holders have less incentive to deploy their capital productively when they can simply earn a risk free reward though staking.

I recommend that you do. Nostr is an information fire hose. You got to filter that flow of information or it can be overwhelming.


It's ok to unfollow people who post too much about one subject. I've unfollowed a lot of people on here because they just keep repeating the same mindless nonsense about Bitcoin and never have anything of substance to contribute. Seeing hundreds of posts that all say "stay humble and stack sats" is tiring, especially when these people are failing at the stay humble part of it. The bitcoiners I still follow are those who contribute meaningfully to the discussion. (There are still things to discuss and hash out in this subject).

But I also follow a quite a few people who rarely or never write about Bitcoin. They're on here. It's hard to explore and find people. Discovery is still a problem that needs solving on Nostr. Both the protocol and the apps you're using to interact with the protocol are in active development.

In that case I think that the 'original artist' doesn't have a case. Not if I'm the judge. Not if you're not passing it off as that person's work.


Since it's highly regulated and very difficult to come by outside of the regulated market, it probably fetches quite a premium on the black market. You could probably negotiate a 50% markup or more over spot with a buyer like Iran. 🤷

An unintended exploit is a justifiable reason to have a careful and thoughtful discussion about changing the code.


Bitcoin is not a free for all. It is a system of rules, defined by code, enforced by network consensus, secured by proof of work. When people find a loophole in the rules and start exploiting it to the detriment of the rest of the participants on the network, throwing your hands up and saying "well that's just the way it is, can't stop it" is a shit take.


Not without a code change, and the consensus of the network to run that code change.


100k sats/year.  There's also a 50k option.


There are two ways forward: we can try to be very sly and change the way the game is played, or we can resort to violence.

We should try the first option until every avenue is exhausted, and we still have a few allies in Congress like Rep. Thomas Massie.

But also, own a rifle and be ready to use it. I very much believe it may come to that. I hope not, but history offers very little in the way of examples of governments ceding power back to the people.


It's a conundrum


Provided the pools with the dominant hashrate that are censoring non-compliant transactions don't also start orphaning blocks from the other pools. If we end up in a situation like that we'll just have to fork the chain.


It's a conspiracy theory that seed oils are terrible for your health! Eat more seed oils!

Lots of FUD about cholesterol


It doesn't matter if they can't see where the sats went. They can see that you sent sats into a coin join, and if they decide that constitutes money laundering then you're going to end up in court defending yourself.


This beautiful building can be yours for only $125k.

You'll have to dump a couple hundred thousand dollars into restoring it though. It's in pretty bad shape.

https://silvercreekre.com/property/75-98895502-805-6th-ave-lewiston-ID-83501


Better get out of the USA before they start prosecuting people for money laundering for sending their sats into a coin join transaction though. It's going to happen. Doesn't matter if they can't see where those sats went on the other side. They can see that you sent them into that transaction and that will be enough.


Must wade through the muck to save those wallowing in it.


Yo hablo un poco Espanol


Eh, also be careful how you launder your KYC Bitcoin. Everybody in the USA sending KYC Bitcoin into coin join transactions is in for a rude awakening in the future I predict.

No, network fees do not prevent spam in practice.

Partially disagree. Bitcoin will lose the function of store of value if it loses the function of being spendable as cash. If it's not easily transferrable then you cannot extract from it the value that you put into it.


#Nostr is more then a social network, but I highly value the social network use case of it.

It's not even about whether or not ordinals have value.

The question to ask and answer is: should we permit use cases other than permissionless P2P digital cash to consume the scarce resource of block space on Bitcoin?

There are other value networks out there that are better suited to recording and exchanging blobs of arbitrary, non-monetary data.

The Bitcoin maximalist position of rejecting all other value networks seems to lead to the thinking that Bitcoin should absorb all other use cases.

Understand that it is ok for other value networks to exist that serve other use cases. Bitcoin is in no way threatened by them.

Bitcoin serves the most vital use case and that is the only use case that it needs to serve.

We are trying to empower financial self sovereignty for the entire world. We do not have time for stupid games.

Do not lose sight of the original goal of Bitcoin, and reject anything that deviates from that goal.

"I’ve developed a new open source P2P e-cash system called Bitcoin. It’s completely decentralized, with no central server or trusted parties, because everything is based on crypto proof instead of trust.”
— Satoshi Nakamoto


It's not an education or access to information problem that we are fighting, it's a cowardice problem. Even people who know right from wrong will do what the govt pays them to do because they are afraid of losing what they have.

This is why you shouldn't give yourself credit for knowing a thing until you can act on it.

Well the Bitcoin network won't allow you to lend out more Bitcoin than you have.


I'm on Luke's side in this debate. If you listen to the man himself, his position is very reasonable. Also those shilling ordinals as well as those defending them can all get fucked.

We're trying to free the world from fiat tyranny. We don't have time for retarded games.

Banks exist because there has always been strong market demand for a trusted third party to offload the responsibility of securing wealth to.

Granted, over the course of our history banks have misbehaved when given this responsibility. Fractional reserve banking is probably the most egregious example of misbehavior.

But this demand for a trusted third party won't go away. Most people don't want to assume the responsibility of securing their wealth themselves. They want to offload that responsibility.

#Bitcoin won't kill the banks, but we can use it to force them to behave better.

I don't care for the hype fests like that Miami conference. Tend to attract scammers too. No thank you.

This one was good. There were a couple segments that I found a bit boring, but most of it got me thinking.

I'm fortunate that I can watch stuff like this at work. Just pause it when customers walk in and then go back to watching it a few minutes later.


I found the quality of discourse in #Unconfiscatable 2023 was pretty high. Grateful that I could watch it remotely.

That last part depends on whether you're looking to join a discussion or start a new discussion. If you reply you'll definitely end up in the OP's notifications. If you quote post, it's like 50/50 in some clients and zero in others whether or not the OP will see that in their notifications. But your followers are more likely to see it in their feed.


Also I try to boost responsibly out of respect for my followers time and attention budget. Does this have value? Is it something that some of my followers may not have seen yet? Or do I have something thoughtful to add to it as a quote post?


I like boost, because I'm lifting the note to the top of my followers' feeds.

If you sell for dollars it's taxable. Not if you spend sats directly to somebody who accepts them. At least not yet. Don't sell. Spend. That's how we grow the Bitcoin economy.

We've had a serious inflation problem since 2008, but until more recently this inflation has manifested only in markets with a more fixed supply: stocks and real estate. It was only after they goosed the money supply by 40% in two years that inflation started creeping into goods and services to a significant degree.

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. As was stated before, OCEAN is on a path to decentralization and very soon we are going to be in a position where hashers will be able to fully participate as miners and perform the intelligent parts of mining such as deciding which version of node software to run and what filters or other policies to apply to block template construction.


We are in the endgame now

Returning to the trend after that aberration of price action that was the $60k pump was not a crash. It was just a return to sanity. The trend has always been upward.

Imagine owning paper Bitcoin when it's so easy to buy and own the actual thing


Institutional money can pump the price. It can also dump the price. They're professionals, and they're better at taking profits. That's why they're so wealthy.

I used to try to prop trade S&P futures. I've earned and lost prop funding five times. It was basically an exercise in getting slapped around by big money.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs aren't going to work how you think they will. Especially when people start trading options on these ETFs. Options gamma becomes the tail that wags the dog.


I already zapped the 10k to the prism about 15 minutes ago 🤷


If you send KYC sats through a coin join, it might not be possible to determine where your coins went on the other side, but it will be quite apparent that you sent them into a coin join.

That alone will lead to you being prosecuted for money laundering. It's coming, and you're playing a very dangerous game.


As Bitcoin goes mainstream, most people are not going to self custody, and that's ok.

But if the ability to self custody is not available to everyone, that's NOT ok!

Some people need self custody and not all of them are wealthy.

Zoom out. Bitcoin has been in a bull market for over 13 years. There has never been a bear market. Never. When the price deviates too far above the trend, it tends to eventually revert back to the trend. The trend has always been upward. Look at the lows, not the highs.

The criminal is the one *violating* that right.


Nostr surviving and growing is convincing me that maybe we can have nice things funded by voluntary donations.

Consider the following:

Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts.
But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.
Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.
They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”

Agree. We'll have to revisit that debate eventually, unless somebody much smarter than me comes up with a more clever and elegant solution to the problem. Arbitrary block size, big or small, has problems one way or another. Dynamic block size, with certain constraints, might be a solution.

I still think L2s are the way though. The more we grow lightning and add channels the better probably.

All I know for certain is custodial solutions are not the way.


Bitcoin has two killer features:

One is the hard cap

The other is that nobody can stop you from sending a transaction to anyone.

We need to preserve BOTH of these to have financial liberty.

If you think only the first feature matters, you need to look into the pre-history of Bitcoin and why all previous attempts failed.

Anything that is not sufficiently decentralized will fall victim to regulatory capture.

If we accept custodial solutions, we are admitting defeat. Every custodial solution will fall victim to regulatory capture and you will see surveillance and capital controls, only these tools of oppression will be even more effective with custodial Bitcoin.

We're trying to fight financial tyranny, not support it!


That's only one feature of Bitcoin.


That is a defeatist mindset that I will not accept.

Custodial anything will lead to regulatory capture. You will end up with the same surveillance and capital controls that exist in the legacy banking system, only these tools of oppression will be even more effective. At least I'm the legacy system we can still transact privately with physical cash. Get rid of that and you will have even greater tyranny then we have today.

The goal was to empower financial liberty for all.

Too many 'bitcoiners' today have either lost sight of this goal, or never understood it's importance to begin with.


And TBH I would trust Wells Fargo more than Wallet of Satoshi


High fees break lightning too except for custodial services with deep enough pockets to manage channels. Custodial lightning is just banks 2.0.


"Be your own bank" should be for everyone!

I miss the old days when bitcoiners talked about empowering billions of unbanked people around the world.

Now the prevailing attitude from many seems to be "If you can't afford to make a transaction just don't" and "just use custodial lightning"

Are we really fine with building banking system 2.0 and financial self sovereignty only for the wealthy?

Because that's exactly what we already have today minus a hard cap on the money supply.


My gut is unphased by Taco Bell. Cruciferous vegetables on the other hand... 💥


So you're fine with banking system 2.0 and financial self-sovereignty only for the most wealthy. Basically what we have today minus a hard cap on the money supply. Got it. 👋


Genius!


The ordinal debate essentially boils down to whether you think these transactions are legitimate economic activity, or spam that harms all other participants on the network.

I'll tell you which camp I land in, but first:

What say you?


Ah yes!


Stamped on a sheet of metal is probably best IMO

Lots of creative ways to store a seed phrase though


Depends on whether you see them as transactions or just spam.

IMO it l it's a wasteful use of a scarce resource that affects users trying to make actual transactions.

A simple transaction is sending money from A to B.

A whirlpool transaction or similar is sending money from a bunch of As to Bs, still valid.

An ordinal transaction is sending a few sats to yourself with a bunch of BS non-financial data attached that fills up block space and places a burden on node operators and other network users. That's spam.

Bruh, we can't have ordinals on chain AND have small blocks. Pick one!

I vote trash these illegitimate, non-financial spam transactions 🚮

We'll just have to figure out how to make whirlpool transactions work within the constraints of only allowing 42 bytes after OP_RETURN 🤷
