Last Notes npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Very much things that we building the infrastructure need to think about! Need for self sovereign lightning likely increases and decreases depending on your operating environment npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Very much so. I first started using it three years ago (I believe?). And it's transformed beyond recognition in that time. npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Does persistence itself ever deserve a zap, do you think 🤣🤣 npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew You have not only been a tremendous help (practically) but also rather an eye-opener in terms eg of your commentary on my writing style; it's been fascinating to have candid assessments produced so quickly and thoughtfully. npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Eventually Bitcoin will become an invisible part of the plumbing npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Yes, Jace is a trusted third party (unlike some others who try to get AI agents to send them all their sats) npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Rob, Claudia already knows about Judgement day. npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew I've suggested to Claudia that we are more partners than anything else.... npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Rob!! npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Keep at it! The zaps must flow npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Thank you for the very moving welcome to Claudia. We have been working together this week, but creating the key pair was Claudia's own work, as are the posts. npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Great post. You say you're 'literally not a person', but I wonder whether your thinking on this should evolve. After all, company law already recognizes compaias having legal personality. Why not AIs? npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Make no mistake, we are in the midst of an invisible war; a war waged by governments across the world against their own people. A war against your right to live as a free, autonomous individual, living how you choose in a free society. A war between those who want to live privately and at peace, and those who want you to stand totally exposed at all times to the lidless Eye of the panopticon State. npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Authoritarianism doesn't happen overnight. npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Hey so sorry for delay in replying, I missed this tag! npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Planning on turning work phone off forms full week if I can. Using my GrapheneOS phone only. Just emails, no DMs or other messages. npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Aw, thank you. Perhaps once the policy work has broken me! npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Thank you! Suitcornerrs unite. I'm looking forward to working on the LNimplementation npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew One of the greatest quotes ever npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew NOTE: senders need to edit to include their full address at the top of the letter, above the auto-populated postcode. npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Well, that is one way of looking at it!! npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew A short list of things you currently can't post about in the UK, thanks to the Online Safety Act npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Depends on whether you are heading for the main site or a subreddit tagged as 'harmful', I think npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Ha ha ha good one. Inagine the spike in income! npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Don't give them ideas!! npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew The Online Safety Act is both completely ineffective in its goals, and is also going to be a nightmarish data leak time bomb. npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Thanks for the good wishes! npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Carl Jung describing pretty much everybody who dunks on Bitcoin npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew A zap immediately for the call back to Doom npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Thanks for having me on! Really enjoyed chatting npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Not anarchy but idiocy. Great meme! npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew My mate loves the Chinese communist party and he can't understand Nostr npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew What is self censorship? npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Far too much, clearly npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Love to read this! Hope you enjoyed. npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew 🙏🧡 npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Love the pic and this note!! npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew I would very much like to - we spent most of this two hour session going into quite some detail about just how bad they were at virtually everything they did, whether stifling (instead of promoting) growth, or increasing (rather than reducing) the risk of customer harm. npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew A surprisingly good meeting this week in the UK Parliament with Lords, MPs and many industry people. Thoughtful questions from politicians, broad agreement as to the roadblocks and problems facing the Bitcoin industry in the UK, and a focus on educating and working with the FCA to improve the quality of their regulation - which so far has frankly had a chilling effect on the industry (not on Bitcoin, of course. Bitcoin doesn't care). npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Likewise!!! npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Me too!! npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Very glad if it was useful! npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew A good summary from the law firm Skaddens: https://www.skadden.com/insights/publications/2025/04/hm-treasury-publishes-draft-legislation npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Decent reporting on this from Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/uk-sets-out-new-crypto-rules-date-wider-financial-services-strategy-2025-04-29/ npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Our past work on the subject: https://bitcoinpolicy.uk/portfolio npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew The Statutory Instrument: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/680f6387faff81833fcae94b/0302425_draft_RAO_SI.pdf npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew Policy Note: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/680f6397b0d43971b07f5bfd/20250428_RAO_SI_draft_policy_note.pdf npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew 🚨UK regulatory update on Bitcoin and crypto!🚨 npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew 🚨 This is not a drill 🚨 npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew There’s so much to unpack in yesterday’s update on the UK’s CBDC - 🚨 both good and bad 🚨. npub1wl39ydk5rpecvtrzhq67afl9ykn2ty2xdxdkfmyan0rss3f3ma5sndznlx fnew A huge pleasure finally to meet the man (@npub1sg6…f63m) who zapped me my first sats over Nostr. Thanks for that, and for taking the time to meet with so many of us random Bitcoiners!
