I'm so sorry man. Thoughts are with you and your family.


Bitcoin consensus is dictated by the economic actors actually using it. If Bitcoin becomes a simple financialized asset dominated by the legacy institutions and actors that it was built to free us from, then proportionally to their level of use they decide consensus.

Saylor is a spook.


Yesterday was the first hearing in a defamation suit filed against Chainalysis for describing a crypto project as the second largest scam of 2022.

But Chainalysis did not argue that its statements are true. Instead, it argued that the suit was designed to prevent the firm from public participation, seeking a dismissal on NY Anti-SLAPP laws – designed to protect free speech.

Data markets that directly sell information to consumers have broken incentives. They incentivize data brokers to prioritize preserving what is valuable in the moment to consumers, rather than what is truly valuable to preserve over the long term.

The idea of being able to mutate the contents of a Torrent while still having it be indexable and findable through a static identifier has lots of potential uses.

Now Hitlary Clingon wants to get rid of Section 230. Trump tried to get rid of Section 230 for much of his last presidency.

“We should be in my view, repealing something called Section 230, which gave platforms on the internet immunity … Whether it‘s Facebook or Twitter or X or Instagram, or TikTok, whatever they are, if they don‘t moderate & monitor the content we lose total control,” says Clinton.

Section 230 of the1996 Communications Decency Act is "a serious threat to our National Security & Election Integrity," says Trump.

They're the same picture.

my biggest fear regarding bitcoin is when it turns out it only made some people rich, even worse if it's the wrong ones, and changed nothing in the downward trajectory of freedom whatsoever


Properly constructed privacy is no where near that simple dunce.


Similar dynamic than Tor, you can see the topology of Tor, but not what is going on inside it.


Overlay is probably not the best term, but something piggybacking on it. The overlay graph would stand out, but not the individual social graph nodes within the overlay.


So I have been thinking lately, and I'm pretty confident at this point that a relatively private overlay protocol can be done on top of Nostr for people in dangerous situations. It would not be cleanly interoperable with conventional users.


Who knows someone who works at TSA?


multisig payout address to enforce a cooperate or reward burned dynamic. no work tracking, no proportional payout. just a simple gentlemen's agreement.


Has anyone built something along the lines of a solomining collective with BitAxes along the lines of groups who play the lottery together?


o.O thats not an answer, and the scheme would require at least two colors chemically consistent  enough to have the same x-ray profile to have a solid background with text overlays in a different color not show any differentiation between the two in terms of xray opacity.


what type of chemical differences between different hues exist that would have an impact of ink density printed on paper. I.e. yellow vs. blue vs. black. I'm trying to figure out the practicality of printed information in solid blocks of background color with a distinguishing color for text on top so that the text would not be distinguishable from the background color under an xray.


If anyone has any kind of experience or resources regarding different chemical compositions of printer inks, would appreciate a brain to pick.


The idea is give both sides a financial incentive. If the researcher does good research without fraud, after a time period they can claim money that goes directly into their own pocket. People who can prove fraud instead at any time can prove that to the federated escrow to claim the funds instead. Researchers have an incentive to be honest, and reviewers have an incentive to find fraud.


Very interesting article by nostr:nprofile1qqsrwseygwgtu5688flrkwudqnwws0mvj52tsx5e07emzg7qwthe77qpr9mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9urn2n34

To me the third scenario described is an unlikely subset of the first one.
Just two doors now.
(Not considering Nuclear War or AI takeover likely outcomes of course)


I wonder what effect federated bonds would have in the world of scientific research. Bond some portion of research grants and timelock them. Path A, researcher can claim funds after timelock. Path B, funds can be claimed by oracles and paid out to anyone proving research fraud.


What is the answer to the increasing tribalism and desire to simply reinforce biases? Circulating truthful information is an important piece of the answer, but people need to be willing to absorb it.


Babbling amongst the throng,
The sound of reason is drowned out,
By dischordant unreasoned song,
Unknown to all but one other.


When the light fades from your eyes,
And your face turns cold,
The reflections of memories still echo,
Their half-life yet unknown.


3 carbs per beer baby.


Imagine drinking beer all day and still being in ketosis.

Bless you Lagunitas, bless you.


The Three Doors: Which One Will Bitcoin Step Through?

That would not stop events being tied to an IP identifier, and would have an INSANE overhead because every client would have to scan EVERY event and try to decrypt it.


Thought experiment: how would you design a communication system assuming that everyone has internet access, and the ability to introduce people into the system out of band offline, in a way that protected metadata revealing the systems users social graph of interactions?


Gm #nostr

I’ve been really disappointed in bitcoiners from both the right and left and how low our bar seems to be for politicians. There is no “Bitcoin candidate” rn. Trump is a narcissistic shitcoiner/scammer, and Harris is giving the vaguest awful chat gpt lumping in digital assets with AI

They both would be excited to boost the imperial might of the U.S., even if they say it in different ways and crush whatever they view as decent.

What’s happening is your worldview and ideology is painting a rosy picture of your preferred candidate’s stance on bitcoin, mixed with NGU.

Bitcoin is for the people. And at some point there will be calls for greater resistance, as those in power and authoritarians are still to come for rights and protections we hold dear.


Bitcoiners should be focusing as much on new organizational models as they are on technical stacks.

They should also be focusing a lot less on stroking off Wall Street.

Good morning fellow commies who are building on a free and open protocol in a very cooperative kind of commie anarchist manner.


Hoping this works. I am really  sad to report that my talk was censored at Baltic HoneyBadger. As best as I know, here's what happened (please read my nostr-based article using one of the following options given below). My talk is on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gGw464vVTY

I no longer think Austrian economics is "the most correct" school of economics.


Ten years in the desert.


"The actions of a massive portion of the active community, at least online, act in complete contradiction with the principles of libertarianism. Freedom, liberty, and voluntary interaction. Many rightwing or libertarian Bitcoiners encourage the exact opposite of that, they bully and intimidate and push people to adopt their worldview."

Obviously the pareto principle (80-20) applies here.

I was part of the "libertarian" wave of bitcoin in 2013 and today, we're mostly focused on topics other than thought-policing the values of other bitcoiners.

Real libertarianism respects different views and lifestyles, and in fact is supposed to wholeheartedly respect and defend the right to do things in your own way as long as you don't hurt other people.

If there is some online reactionary movement, it is people who generally view bitcoin twitter/nostr as a sport and they don't really understand nor live the principles.

You made that latter point,  nostr:npub1xapjgsushef5wwn78vac6pxuaqlke9g5hqdfjlanky3uquh0nauqx0cnde, so I agree with you.

A necessary article, though it should be targeted at the few rather than the many.

Live and let live, laissez-faire.

So we all know the Trump speech was cringe as fuck right?


By the end of this year, I will have attended 12 or so bitcoin events for 2024. These have been great experiences but they have also shown me that at conferences, bitcoin appears as tho it is mostly for straight white men. Yet, we know that this isn’t true when we look at the global demographics of bitcoin users.

What I would love to see is a conference that invited bitcoin speakers like sex workers, activists, domestic abuse survivors, psychedelic-based healers, LGBTQ identifying bitcoiners, black bitcoiners who can educate us on the history of racist banking practices in the US and who are using bitcoin for financial empowerment, critics of bitcoin, and so on.

Even if 75% of attendees were conference speakers, the event would be a success because it would be a great opportunity for these overlooked groups to be together under the same roof.

Bitcoin is for anyone who needs it. I’d like to hear from those who need it most.

Most of my friends are non-Bitcoiners. A significant fraction are non-binary, an even larger number are neurodiverse, and many are half my age: a great variety of fascinatingly different humans!

It's OK to be weird, and it makes our world more interesting. If that makes me outside someone's "ethos of Bitcoin" I think they misunderstand what Bitcoin is for.


Weird humans are great, all humans are great.

Flags are most often used as non-voluntary enforcement tools, often for war. Kinetic or Social. The commies have captured the flag, pun intended.

The real challenge that is causing all this division we see in the world is when /weirdness/  is laced with politics.

Bring back /weird/ without politics.

Burn all the flags.

This seems like an absolutely dangerous idea without a proper key management/rotation scheme.


So just to state the obvious. Everyone spending all their time here means Twitter is just full of shitcoiners spreading shitcoinersy uncontested.


That would need a very thought through scheme for forward secrecy for messages and an airtight scheme for never using a Nostr identity key twice. Otherwise youre going to likely wind up creating a lot of useful metadata for regimes.
