Raygun is better than all the haters. Shes the only one advancing the capital-A art.
Everyone else is doing tricks/forgot their skateboard. #raygun #olympics #breaking
Going out on a limb here, but I don't think events like the consensual non-consensual (cnc) sex parties and heavy LSD use of some elite AI researchers have been good for women.
Guys, I’ve mind-merged with many of the top and rising players in the Valley. I’ve met some of the most interesting and brilliant people in the world who were playing at levels leagues beyond me. I leveled up my conception of what is possible.
Inscriptions are so boring I can hardly believe the effort going into dumping same-y garbage webp into transaction records. They're not even pretending to have scarcity, its insane.
Remember that when value moves into BTC, it comes from some other silo, making it inaccessible to fractional reserve banks, financial market vehicles, and the speculative real estate club where it would otherwise sit. Lots of entities are interested in these silos growing, and will see their waning as a bad thing.
Storing value isn't the only reason you would buy extra property or a share of a corporation and those markets will be just fine without the public casually treating them like a savings account.
Still, theres a strong desire to slow the drain of our money from their custody, not the least because they're functionally insolvent if a selloff happens too fast. Making sats a headache to hold is the most obvious recourse, and legislation is the most handy tool to inflict it. Made to order laws are proposed and passed all the time, theres practically a price list for doing so.
All of this predicts that the kabuki dance required to comply with nuisance KYC and tax regulations will only get more complex, and the rational for it will become more ridiculous as time goes on. After all, if bitcoining was easy, everybody would do it.

Yes, telling people what to do is a doomed approch, and I'm surprised that Matt would make that error. Bitcoin is underpinned by game theory, rather than coercion.
We need a clear explanation of exactly why this breaks the game (if it indeed does) and then understand how to make the game more secure without breaking it further. The explanation needs to include a full world view on a long timescale, with acts and reactions, beyond just one agent in one state considers a control play.
Session messanger is switching to a new shitcoin backend. News is a bit old, but I just learned about it. Many may not have seen it at all.

What set of NIPS could be used to implement all of sessions backend features on #nostr instead?

I need to try xChart again, development seems to have advanced a lot since my last look. I'm excited about the new ideas for secure DMs on NOSTR in general.
Probably the most exciting system I have tried is Keet, wondering if it, or something similar can be a full solution for me one day.
Awesome news. Great things to come, I know.

It's a distributed network of relays, that keeps us connected, even if if some of them are censored or shut down.
And they fixed the "login" problem so you don't need an email, phone number, credit card, or or anything but your npub/nsec key pair to participate.
(Theres no block chain here, just clever network design)
My SSD holding the blockchain was somehow corrupted, and the microSD I was blaming may have been good all along. Oh well. Bootstrapping a new Raspi Blitz, since I needed a fresh start anyway.
You can make a lot of stupid config choises when you don't know wtf you are doing, as I was back a few years ago,
I'll be restoring channels from backup (ha!) and probably do a transaction DB dump from the old card for post-mortum... Replacement hardware will be ordered,
The life and death of my first node. #raspiblitz
My 3.5" LCD is blank. Connecting the 1TB drive causes a continual reboot cycle... the microSD card is new and the image is verified... I'm starting to suspect a hardware failure beyond the microSD. #raspiblitz
People need to know what #sats can do.
