You could see from the reaction in the audience who was sitting there, what kind of completely clueless people were going to this conference. And pls don't tell me it was too early.
btw - @qlrd
unfortunately only the pub format is provided as export for the xpub zpub and my MS Publisher can't do anything with it - opening not possible
but maybe the fault lies with me
Stood still on a highway I saw a woman by the side of the road
With a face that I knew like my own, reflected in my window
Well, she walked up to my quarter light and she bent down real slow
A fearful pressure paralysed me in my shadows
She said: Son, what are you doing here?
My fear for you has turned me in my grave
I said: Mama, I come to the valley of the rich, myself to sell
She said: Son, this is the road to hell
On your journey 'cross the wilderness from the desert to the well
You have strayed upon the motorway to hell
Well, I'm standing by a river but the water doesn't flow
It boils with every poison you can think of
Then I'm underneath the streetlights, but the light of joy I know
Scared beyond belief way down in the shadows
And the perverted fear of violence chokes a smile on every face
And common sense is ringing out the bells
This ain't no technological breakdown, oh no, this is the road to hell
And all the roads jam up with credit and there's nothing you can do
It's all just bits of paper flying away from you
Look out world, take a good look what comes dawn here
You must learn this lesson fast and learn it well
This ain't no upwardly mobile freeway
Oh no, this is the road, this is the road, this is the road to hell
love it, going to read this over and over again:
", sending and receiving Bitcoin is now as easy as sending and receiving email. As long as both the sender and recipient have a Proton Wallet, you only need the recipient’s email address to send them Bitcoin. That also means that if you are one of the millions of people who have a Proton Mail email address, you can now automatically receive Bitcoins with your email address."
between the option "social unrest" and waiting for an open conflict within the deep state, there is left an impressively large intermediate space, right?
if I follow what the last few years have taught me, then they (as the state) officially sell what they (as ETFs) buy. The state is just the sheep's clothing.
Congrats to you, Americans!
Don't make it a hollow celebration. Independence is the dearest you may acquire in life, preserve, fight for it when it's in jeopardy.
Right now, it seems, it is.
Did you know that financial exclusion in the EU now goes so far that a foreigner with only the RU citizenship can no longer open an account at a private bank, Raiffeisen bank or Savings bank, even if he or she has been living in the EU for 7 or more years and even pays taxes here as an employee? And this only because he or she has (only) the RU citizenship?
There is no law that requires this, no regulation.
The banks do it just like that, all of them, collectively.
You ask why there are regulations that empower everyone with a residence permit in an EU country to have at least a "basic bank account"?

These regulations exist so that banks do not have to apply them. There is no legal entitlement.
Bitcoin > mining > energy consumtion
Hirnforscher Jandial (Spiegel, 27/24):
"Neurologisch gesehen ist das Gehirn in Schlaf und Traum ungeheuer aktiv. Diese Aktivität muss einen Sinn haben, denn sie kostet sehr viel Energie."
we have "only read access to your wallets" and
open source ?
"No, it isn't. We are major proponents of open source, and you can view all of our open-source work on our GitHub. We want to build Clams into a long-term sustainable business, and we think that open sourcing it at this time does not contribute to that. Since Clams does not have access to user funds, we do not think that open sourcing it is critical."
please wait a moment: i can and should connect all my wallets and clams can see and read everything ?!
I'm not sure I think that's a good thing.
These are things that not even my mom knows and should know.
The electronic patient file for all those with health insurance in Germany is coming. Once again, the "objection solution" is being chosen. Only those who object separately will not have the centrally stored and highly personal patient file imposed on them and may well be able to prevent it for themselves.
this is a nightmare
It will be interesting to see how many people disagree with this dangerous nonsense (in %).

great contribution, Christian.
this I call ”onboarding folks”
every moderately committed newbie should be able to set up a relay, thx to contribs in kind + helping hands at standby
great space to see this happen

"It’s not an uncommon opinion that “the masses” likely won’t self-custody. But without self-custody, what’s even the point of something like Bitcoin?"
We should measure the probability (whether and when there will be widespread acceptance of self-custody) not by what we know how it can and should be, but by what consumers are used to in their banking transactions today.
Consumers (I can say this for the EU) have been hit hard in this respect in recent years; they have had to give up some of their cherished habits and get used to completely new processes. And: they have done so.
Measured against this, the requirements for self-custody are not excessively high. tmho
that´s what it is all about:
"Additionally both OXT and CipherTrace, Sterlingov's main expert witness and a direct competitor to Chainalysis, were effectively barred from review of Chainalysis proprietary blackbox heuristics. CipherTrace was set to testify against Chainalysis heuristics and application of block chain forensics use as a primary attribution methodology in criminal prosecution. However one week before trial, CipherTrace was pulled from the case by their wholly owned subsidiary, MasterCard.
This meant that blackbox software, heuristics, and forensic methodology went completely unchallenged during trial allowing the government to railroad Roman Sterlingov and obtain their desired guilty verdict for a crime he did not commit.
This affects all Bitcoin related legal cases from that point on, until an appeal overturns the validity of this "expert witness". Whatever statement this unchecked third party makes on any activity on Bitcoin's blockchain, is now admissible evidence in a trial case. And as was demonstrated in Roman Sterlingov's case, you are likely not allowed to provide an expert witness of your own on the same subject matter."
difference between Bitcoin and an volcano ?
there is none !
Both break out from time to time.
The force from within makes its way.

Some challenges with the current model:
The escrow agent has the ability to censor members of a contract by ignoring their statements. While the use of receipts forces the agent to censor in real-time, this is still an issue.
In the future, we will be leveraging the Nostr network in order to provide a proof-of-delivery system that will force to escrow agent to censor everyone, or no-one.
Even with the covenant restrictions and fraud-proofs, the escrow agent may still act malicious and settle the contract unfairly. This is a risk inhereit with any escrow system.
While the protocol attempts to both disincentivize and marginalize this risk as much as possible, it is still an issue in certain cases (for example, if the escrow agent is hacked or coerced).
In the future, we plan to mitigate these risks even further, using two mechanisms:
Splitting the escrow agent role into a federation, using threshold signatures (FROST).
Using a proof-of-stake system to punish agents if proof of fraud is presented."
will be interesting to see this evolving
Is Anja Hirschel (Top candidate for the Piraten - Partei in the European election campaign) also a civil servant? As Patrick Breyer is ? Does she also return after her terms of office in Brussels to a bench as judge that has been kept open for her by the State all her terms in Brussels ? As it is the case for Patrick Breyer ?
@Patrick Breyer
All I see here is a supply mentality on the part of these people involved.
How can a judge / civil servant even begin to question the state or even the EU?
Even in partial aspects ?
He doesn't do it and he can't do it.
"Niemand sägt den Ast ab, auf dem er sitzt."
=
"No one cuts the bough he is sitting on."
Instututionalized protest is harmless for the system.
How can it be that a wannabe fighter for digital freedom hangs around on mastodon, but has never mentioned nostr in his numerous articles, nor does he have an account here himself?
