Last Notes npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt If Bitcoin was widely adopted as global currency used to denominate the world, it would rapidly "stabilize" (in the sense of purchasing power volatility). npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Capitalism might be the most misunderstood term in all of political philosophy. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Socialism has been the dominant political structure for a long time now. They just don't know it. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt The reason we rely on trust is for efficiency. Assumptions are cheaper than proofs. Robustness is often traded for efficiency. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt You have to trust the cryptographic rules. You can't trivially count the coins. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Nice, thanks for sharing. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt I tend to agree. I think we need decentralization of the node development. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt It's open ended. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt I feel that. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Default settings are powerful, no doubt. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt 🫡 npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Hey, that's cool! Thanks for sharing it. I like the minimalism. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt I suppose Jesus was censoring the money changers. What a tyrant. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Yup. Though I'm not sure I've found my true git home. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt ? npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt 🤙 npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Howdy! 🦘 npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt You're making a basic category error, and seem have no clue what the difference between censorship and ostracism is. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Censorship requires coercion. Everything else is just preference. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Taxation requires a boot. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt You are avoiding the question. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Okay, but that's not what I asked. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Just so we're clear, you think preventing large OP_RETURNs is censorship? npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Would you consider spam filters on your email as "censorship"? That's a ludicrous definition. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt The blending of categories is the foundation of exploitation. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Bip110 is derided unjustly. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Good luck. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt The brain is a JIT (Just In Time) Compiler. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt At 4% forever: supply 2x in ~18y, 4x in ~35y, ~50x in a century. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Agreed, but that's not what I was refuting. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt I'm not sure what the relevance of that is. The downloading of arbitrary data in _plaintext_ is the problem, not the block size. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Samson is not as well reasoned as he thinks. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Nodes need to back themselves with hashrate to be taken more seriously. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Bip110 doesn't claim to stop all spam. This is a low-effort strawman. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Saylor has lost the plot. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt If the soul of Bitcoin forks off, what happens? npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Morality is Free Will universalized. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt What's a cointard? npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Exactly. This should have been a FAIL LOUD situation, not a graceful 'degradation' to pseudo randomness. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt You would have laws prohibiting theft in any functional society, state or not. State != Law. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt You would think that they would have a regular audit with an adversarial engineering team. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Different use case. Blockchain solves "distributed ledger". Nostr solves "uncensorable voice". npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt To signal virtue in its absence is the sin of vanity. Sin leads to Evil. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Self ownership is the limit case of property rights, where provenance zeros out leaving control as the determinant. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt If you, like if you, don't like cat photos or don't like wizards, or whatever... npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Just gotta take a NAP npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt I’m sure Australia only bans it so the local gambling monopoly can control the entire market. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt “Bitcoin isn’t money” npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt According to Lopp, the only reason for the 100kb arbitrary data is mempool unity? npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt https://blossom.primal.net/cb7842a3fb4c268d1facfc2aebeec565b2680adbf4c460d955dc0173130e46cc.png
npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt > “Social consensus” is basically you saying that code decisions should be made based on the number of people on subreddits you can get agreeing with you. This is not how sane development processes work. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt The Core people are astoundingly unserious. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt He gets lots of dissenting feedback on nostr at least. The majority seems to be dissent. I think he has a sadism streak to be honest. The glee and the taunting is excruciatingly unserious. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Plausible deniability. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt That kind of play is good for their development! npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt It’s starting to seem like all the “features” were a mistake. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Slippery slope != “speculation of effect” npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt "The strength of such an argument depends on whether the small step really is likely to lead to the effect." npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Yeah. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt I think Go is great. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Fantastic. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt I agree. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Have you run benchmarks between the various languages? npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt How to empathise with your crying baby. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt It’s a value statement: that you care most about something other than political agenda. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Given that Bitcoin is money, something people are very attached to, I doubt it’s the latter that changes. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Speculation that it “probably won’t matter” legally (for now) doesn’t really matter. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt A single default setting was the entire business model of Mozilla Firefox. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Bitcoiners tend to be optimistic people. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt A default setting was the entire business model of Mozilla Firefox. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt The simple argument against veganism: by providing animal husbandry we can give animals a good life, in exchange for their produce. This is a win-win for humanity and the animal. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Newborns are very serious creatures. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt It’s not exactly the serious cypherpunk vibe, is it. Revealing. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt “Distributed Authoritarianism”… did they just redefine the free market as authoritarianism? Jaw dropping. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Fingers crossed. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt They don’t need to physically take your cash, they just inflate it away, or create a new legal tender to reset. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt 99% of the people who ask “what about the roads”, don’t even know how the roads are done under statism. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Your argument is fine, but contains absolutely no justification for why the default needs to be unanimously changed, or why the configuration needs to be deprecated for removal. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Society has encoded valuable ideas that we should conserve, yet some ideas are wrong or incomplete and should be progressed. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Indeed. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt All emotions serve a purpose. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt The lack of desire to achieve consensus and do the work to educate is very anti Bitcoin, indeed. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Unfair to Saylor. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt You own yourself because control is a necessary property of ownership, and the mind is irreducibly in control of itself. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Hard Money prevents war as we’ve known it. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Yes I understand. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt At what point does morality actually matter? npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt “Open Source Developer” is not a virtue, and doesn’t make for a Saint. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt Autism is not a superpower. npub14l0387z0ejfmnn3j38nnalg5p57952d84aqakqguhzx7p7pns2vqg3x78w mordaunt If you don’t trust knots or core 30.
