I think the intention behind it is good but I don’t see this succeeding. How accurate can body types be measured? Which variables are taken into account and which are not? And why? How easy is it to get false measurements or even game results? Besides, if the idea is to have better defined categories, where should we draw the line? Should we also measure intelligence, sport iq, anxiety, trauma, will power, etc all of which have an impact on performance? The more variables are introduced the more complicated it gets. And while historical categories are flawed, at least they’re simple and more in line with nature.

Bitcoin journalism is fucked.

I started The Rage because I'm tired of investors and advertisers telling me what to do for below minimum wage compensation.

What we need are publications willing to let journalists investigate the crap out of the companies, representatives and people enabling the building of surveillance tech behind the scenes.

What we get are publications selling out to corporations, startups and politicians writing public relations puff pieces to keep their returns on track. The point of journalism is to hold power to account, not to become its bedfellow.

There is no lack of talented, experienced, investigative journalists covering bitcoin. The problem is that they write what the powers that be don't want you to hear – so many are out of a job, dabbling away at the next press release for mainstream media, or doing below-minimum wage contract work to pay the bills.

I'm incredibly overwhelmed by all the positive feedback we've been getting for The Rage. In just 8 weeks we've scooped major publications and drove discussions around AML, Samourai and Tornado Cash together with your help. We've even made enough to cover operations with almost 400$ raised, thanks to all the zappers out there.

But here's the thing. I didn't come here to write a good piece every once in a while leaving stories untold left and right because I can't afford to focus on investigations full time. I came here to fuck up the financial surveillance complex. That's why The Rage now needs your help.

We're trying to raise 0.25BTC so we can contract the best investigative journalists in the Bitcoin space to tell the stories that major publications can't afford to print.

If you value your financial freedom, please consider donating via our Geyser fund. We cannot do this without your help.

Bitcoin passphrase vs. multisig: Which is right for you?

Two approaches people often consider to gain additional bitcoin security are a passphrase (a one-word secret) and multisig (secures your bitcoin with multiple keys). Let’s see how these two approaches compare. 👇

Singlesig + passphrase
By adding a passphrase to your singlesig wallet, you add a 13th or 25th word of your choosing to your seed phrase, which generates a wholly separate and unique wallet from the default wallet generated without a passphrase. You can create an infinite number of passphrase wallets associated with a single seed phrase backup and hardware wallet.

A passphrase adds some protection in that it distributes your risk across three critical items (your device, seed phrase backup, and your passphrase), but it still has a major single point of failure. If your passphrase is ever lost or forgotten, your bitcoin are gone forever because you no longer have the key to the bitcoin wallet.

Multisig
Multisig is a bitcoin custody model where you construct a wallet using multiple bitcoin keys instead of just one. Multisig is very flexible, allowing wallet developers and even users to set the total number of keys used to construct the wallet (n) and the number of those keys required to spend (m). This creates what’s called an m-of-n quorum. There are practically infinite ways to approach multisig, but the most popular approaches are 2-of-3 (three keys total, with any two keys required to spend) and 3-of-5 (five keys total, with any three needed to spend).

Comparing passphrase with multisig: 7 points to consider

1⃣ Convenience - SS + passphrase is more convenient than DIY multisig but similar to collaborative custody multisig

2⃣ Ease of backup - It’s easier to back up a single hardware wallet, a seed phrase, and a passphrase than back up all the keys and seed phrases necessary to properly store your bitcoin in a standard multisig wallet.

3⃣ Availability - To understand the differences between passphrase and multisig for availability of access, you have to consider multiple possible scenarios: singlesig with and without properly secured passphrases, standard multisig, and collaborative custody multisig. Each of these has different availability of access profiles.

4⃣ Transaction costs - Mining fees in periods of low demand for block space are very cheap, leaving this category often irrelevant. However, it remains true that multisig transactions are more expensive than singlesig transactions. Using a passphrase with singlesig doesn’t add anything additional to the mining fee above standard singlesig; the mining fees are directly correlated with the number of keys involved in the transaction.

5⃣ Fault tolerance - Multisig shines against singlesig with a passphrase and singlesig in general when it comes to fault tolerance. That’s because the nature of multisig (and, again, proper key storage and seed phrase backups!) makes it very difficult to lose enough keys (and the necessary wallet configuration information) to lose access to your funds.

6⃣ Resisting attacks - Altogether, multisig has the slight upper hand for attack resistance. In 2-of-3, an attacker would have to physically compromise at least two physical locations without your knowledge and have specific knowledge that the discovered keys are used in multisig and compromise your multisig configuration information.

7⃣ Financial services - Collaborative custody multisig opens the door to financial services done in a trust-minimized way, such as collateralized loans (where three parties can share custody of funds so that all parties have transparency as to the state of the funds on the blockchain). It also uniquely solves for the problem of bitcoin inheritance.

Can you add a passphrase to multisig?
Yes, you can add passphrases to one or more of the keys used in your multisig m-of-n scheme. But should you? Most bitcoin users set up multisig wallets without passphrases because multisig already eliminates a given hardware wallet or seed phrase as a single point of failure. Adding passphrases can add unnecessary complexity, and unnecessary complexity diminishes security rather than improves it.

=====================

Every decision you make regarding bitcoin custody involves trade-offs. Perhaps multisig helps you sleep better at night, but you might have to drive several hours to get to that second key if you want to benefit from geographically-distributed keys. Or maybe you have to wait for your collaborative custody partner to verify your identity to sign with their key.

Choosing between singlesig (with or without a passphrase) and multisig isn’t an A or B choice; the answer for you might even be both! Maybe you want to secure the more significant portion of your net worth in a multisig collaborative context for peace of mind while keeping smaller amounts for easy access available in a software wallet on your phone.

It’s all about looking at your situation and finding a balance of trade-offs that work best for you and your family or organization.

What's the best book on incentives? Be it personal, political, economical, etc.


I don't think bitcoin success depends on politicians, but they will affect it in some form or the other.


Incentives


The e2ee “and then they fight you” phase has been ongoing for 20+ years, and seems like it will continue indefinitely. This is to be expected with bitcoin as well. Long, arduous journey ahead.


The legal defense fund for Samourai Wallet is now open and accepting donations: https://p2prights.org/

This particular fight is important because the precedent set in this matter will either reinforce the principles that non-custodial wallets are not money transmitters or it will put targets on the backs of all wallet developers.

If you really came here for the freedom tech then get in this fight and show your support. There will not be a second chance to repair the damage done  if the DOJ is not stopped here and now.


Disagree. Bitcoin was a 0 to 1, a new paradigm based on decentralized consensus and censorship resistance. The conventional way of thinking that ideas continuously need a leader is presently being disproven by bitcoin working and increasingly being used. It's hard for people to understand this. This is also the reason why we as a society have no idea how bitcoin will change the world. That's what a paradigm shift is.

The Founding Fathers would be rolling in their graves if they saw that people need a license to transmit money, or that the government thinks it has the right to surveil and censor everyone’s money and transactions.

The default is privacy. To infringe on someone’s privacy should require probable cause and come with checks and balances. Ubiquitous surveillance shouldn’t be the default, since it enables tyranny. https://image.nostr.build/59d050b8cf8f75a3d469e83812a0be6681bcad506e63bc0bf4417cfece14d0b8.jpg

Bitcoin is becoming a threat.


There are many unelected officials that hold too much power who only serve themselves and don’t give a shit about the public. It’s messed up.

What will you do when self custody becomes illegal?


The more I think about KYC / AML and how the government acts, the more dystopic I see our future. These people will go to incredible lengths to hold on to their power and enslave everyone around them. They will silence those who speak. They will imprison those who pose a threat. They will use violence at will. The Samourai situation is just the beginning. They will try to make self custody and running a node illegal. Absolute control is their goal. Shits gonna be ugly. Are you up for what’s about to come?


KYC is a disease.


You want privacy? Prepare for conflict.


They want to make running a node a crime.


Privacy is not a crime.

Instead of protecting it, they control everyone's private property via fiat and the threat of violence. If people want to regain their rights, they should stop using government money, educate themselves on what rights are and learn to protect them.


Taxation is extortion. You're forced to give away your private property under the threat of violence.


People will always have opposing views and perspectives, and are mostly driven by greed. Capitalism and socialism have been debated since their inception and I don't believe humanity will ever reach a conclusion. Its like a pendulum that will keep swinging forever. There will always be conflict.


I think I love kettlebells now.


I knew this day would probably come, but didn't expect it so soon.

I am being investigated for running an illegal money transmission business in Canada (nodeless)

Under the advice of my lawyers I need to shut down the main instance of it.

As you guys know I made Nodeless completely open source in the event that this happens, so that others who don't live under communism can run a honest, privacy focused payments business.

To my clients who are using it, I'm very sorry for the short notice but you'll need to find a new payment processing solution this weekend.

DM me on telegram and I will personally walk you through setting up a btcpayserver instance that you can self host, or even your own instance of nodeless.

I can't give much more information than this, not even supposed to say this much, but I owe it to you guys to let you know what's going on.

To install nodeless on your own server, you can get started here:

I never used or downloaded tiktok.

Anyone else having this issue?

When these things are clearly explained to people they don't agree with them. Most people didn't actively choose to be digital slaves, they made the decisions they thought were best with the information they had.

Unfortunately there's a general lack of knowledge and education around digital services. Ignorance? Sure. But people don't want to be slaves, they want to be free.

Freedom tools are required, and also an emphasis on education is paramount. With clear understanding people will make the right choices.

The result of that would be a higher fee estimate, people will then pay higher fees, the rate increases, which results in even higher estimates. It might create an unwanted feedback loop.

You need a lightning wallet and a lihhtning adress. This might help.

For a few months I've been putting an hour or two every week on building a small encyclopedia of opcodes, mostly because I felt my opcode game was not strong enough to participate and reason clearly about all the new soft fork proposals.

There are 256 opcodes: I'm 80% done writing a small page for each of them. Today is the day I share this work publicly and invite people to come and join the fun.

Check out the website here: https://opcodeexplained.com/


Bitcoin really wants to pop.


In a hyperbitcoinized world where most people hold their own keys, how will you protect yourself and your family from being kidnapped and tortured by criminals who want your bitcoin?


I did


Which lightning wallet do you recommend?


One thing I'm hopeful for is the obsolescence of planned obsolescence. People will be reluctant to spend their valuable bitcoin on low quality products, forcing companies to make long lasting products to stay competitive. Consumerism will go down, people will own better stuff and have more savings.


Funny but bad opsec


I believe in bitcoin more than ever and I'm sure it will become an integral part of our society and bring many benefits. But adoption will take much longer than I initially thought a few years ago. Things are moving slow. Network effects, regulation, state attacks, infrastructure, all these take time. We haven't even scratched the surface of "then they fight you" phase. I'm looking at a few decades.


Maybe he was referring to ftx et al, not to bitcoin specifically.

I don't think I was clear in my wording. I meant bitcoin needs this battle just like it needed the block size wars, in order to become even stronger. Central powers will try to capture it, and they will fail. Freedom will win.


Good. It will suck for many, but bitcoin needs this so it can emerge even stronger on the other side.


Not just unavoidable, but required. Yes it will probably suck, but bitcoin has to go through this phase to come out even stronger on the other side.


And forfeited


Yes. It is everyone's responsibility to protect their rights.

When the lion wants to eat you, its your responsibility blow his brains out.

When you want to transact privately, it is your responsibility to manage your private information appropriately.

The right to private property holds for humans and animals alike.

Unless someone is setting out to be a professional author (very hard), nobody should write a book to make money.

When I set out to write Broken Money, it was because I *had* to, not because I wanted to. Spending a thousand hours on something that I get a profit of $5/copy for is not my best use of time.

Any time I spent on my research business revenue generation content, or leaning harder into my venture capital partnerships, would have been better on an hourly ROI basis. I have to sell 40 books to equal each newsletter subscription on my website; clearly the latter is better financially.

Almost regardless of how many copies I sell, it's a bad ROI for me. I'm overworked and the fact that I wrote a book while maintaining my existing business stressed my relationship and social life. And further, I am reinvesting most of my initial profits; the first 1,000 copy profits go to the Human Rights Foundation Bitcoin Development Fund, and the next 4,000 copy profits will go towards making a video about money and why it's broken.

And all of it was worth it. When a creator has something in their head, it's painful until they get it out into the world. I wrote this for bad ROI but because I wanted it to be out there for people to read, period.

Will I make a profit? Yes. But at a much lower hourly rate than I make on other work I do. It's a negative profit compared to having reinvested that thousand hours into my other existing work. But I consider it to be more important, which is why I spent the time.

I wrote Broken Money because I had to. The book concept formed in my head after many years of writing and research regarding money, and it would have been increasingly distracting to *not* write it. I didn't realistically have a choice. I felt compelled to write it. Part of it was altruistic; I wanted people to learn from my total monetary framework thoughts over five years of research. Part of it was egotistical; I wanted to timestamp something in the world, in physical form, and put it out there. Maybe it's the low time preference part of me; I'd like something of me to be mentionable to people in the distant future who look back at this time.

My background has been a blend of engineering and finance, with both ironically pointed toward bitcoin.

I don't care where you buy it from, and you can pirate it if you want, but it benefits bitcoin and nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak if you buy it from his website.

Some HN comments suggest that its ridiculous for each individual to have a car. Cars should be minimized in favor of public transportation. To save the planet of course.

Traffic jams are an issue and not wanting a car fine. Not being allowed to own one is not. You lose movement sovereignty and become dependent on public transportation, which is not nearly as good. Besides, you are forfeiting your right to private property by giving governments the power to tell you what you can and can't own. That's a dangerous game to play. In a social credit system society being forced to use public transportation is every dictators wet dream.

While some will be happy to sell their car to save the planet, I will not. On the contrary, I will do what I can to become more sovereign and to protect my rights.

Things will change though. "They" will come after personal cars just like they're coming after meat.


Many hospitals are for-profit businesses. Their main incentive is not to cure diseases but to make money. Think about that for a second.

I don't understand why that is the case. From what I can tell each wallet could have its own set of distinct transaction characteristics. Why are those 2 preferred?

I'm really curious what the dynamics of society would be if money actually gained value with time. Would investments still be made? Would planned obsolescence be obsolete? Would stocks be as valuable? Would people be happier?


If its not open source assume the worst.


Censorship resistant platform are for everyone, including enemies of censorship resistant platforms.


I think we as a society need this. Just as bitcoin went through the block size wars and became more resilient as a result, so do social media platforms need to go through this censorship phase in order to become more censorship resistant. It'll probably suck, but freedom will win. Its inevitable.
