We will see. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost 🫗 npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost If you transact in a sufficiently important amount of Bitcoin (on-chain), you lock in and quadruple-check the transaction before you hit send. And then you immediately go to a block explorer website to see what the status of the transaction is, so you know nothing went wrong -- nothing ever does go wrong, if you set up the transaction correctly but your monkey brain stresses out regardless. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I'm just saying the drama is at 11 today. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost This day just keeps delivering the goods. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Watch one little calculator fuck 1200 bitcoiners at once. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Single seed generated offline from good entropy (like dice rolls) is still a viable defense against offline signing device vulneraabilities. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost CRRRIIIINNNNNGE 😬 npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Conflating ColdCard failure as some sort of BIP-110 correctness signal is cringe and desperate. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Not gonna lie, looking forward to the going-out-of-business sale on Block Clocks. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Watch carefully for influencers that carry water for NVK. This is a great opportunity to catch venal douchenozzles in the act of toxic influencing. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Righteous self-own. 10/10. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I'm going to be sick npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Did they publish an audit? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Even if NVK said they had an audit, I'd consider his word worthless. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Thanks not interested npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Say his name. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Never heard of monero. Sounds gay npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Has anyone else noticed that Bitcoin tends to tolerate people who act like jerks, even to our own detriment? This is not unique to Bitcoin -- highly ideological spaces tend to have massive blind spots when it comes to dangerous personalities. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Bro I have a hardware wallet for every week of the year. I have no idea which one of these LARP accessories actually generated the seed. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost 100x more than that are gonna rage quit after getting rugged by the ColdLarp. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I have a seed that was likely generated by a ColdCard device prior to the Mk3. Does the Mk1 or Mk2 have this same entropy derp issue? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost No but I hear NVK has several lies on deck to address them. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Is there a way to know if your seed was generated by a ColdCard Mk3? I mean other than the fact that you're now poor. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Is the older @nprofile…t77k Passport affected by the ColdCard MK3 entropy issue? Doesnt matter that they share an SE, but it does matter that they share code. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost My ColdCard just stores my keys. I generated them myself, in a remote cabin in the mountains, with dice, under a blanket. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I'm not saying it's failed money. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost This is now a tiddies account. The hero you deserve. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost @nprofile…9xkw seems to be delivering on the Mindtrap riddles. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost With out luck, there will be a guy named "tiddies" and he will unfortunately deliver. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost There aren't enough tiddies on nostr. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost The only reason I can speak honestly with myself and others on the topic is that I don't have to worry about being P. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I forgot to attach the Babadook meme npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost The worst thing about bitcoiners is how they already live in a future state in their head where bitcoin has just naturally won. They cite a dead school of economics to justify this outlook. It's inevitable, they say, according to podcasters quoting dead economists. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Bitcoin price where it was 6 months ago. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I have great news. I just pulled this video out of a BIP-110-compliant transaction: npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I'm gonna do that annoying thing where I ask if you've tried pointing AI at the task. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Give them some bitcoin, show them how to use it without all the raving and ranting about the FIaT sLaVerY mAtRiX, and let them think about it. Maybe they'll never learn, but the situation is still better as a result of the focused effort. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost No normal person with warm blood in their veins is ever going to understand or care to learn what you mean when you start invoking "fiat". You're just a crazy person saying crazy things, and that will never change. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Economic weight npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost This is more like 19% of nobodies want the sky to rain titties and beer. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Shut up, nerd. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Bitcoin is only dangerous, revolutionary, and important if people use it. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost If we left BCHNostr alone, they'd have like half the engagement. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Yes. Maybe it was jazz. I don't know. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost The Oddesey soundtrack was a lot of discordant honking. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Ratchet down the rhetoric, stop assuming bad faith on the part of every individual under the Core banner, go back to the discussion as adults npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Where are Jeff's commits in the source code? I'm not deferring to experts -- I'm asking for proof of work. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Jeff's just an Austrian thinkboi. Zero commits in the source code -- like pretty much every single supporter of BIP-110, with the exception of Luke. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost "I'm the queeeen of France" 😆 npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost What's the split, do you think, between BIP-110ers who say "Wow, I was eggregioisly misled about the way this would unfold" and those who will just make up a new conspiracy about why they failed? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Yeah, everything is fine. An angry mob of numbskulls can just get spun up and call everyone pedos and enemies of bitcoin, and we'll just pretend like it never happened. That's totally a thing in Bitcoin. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Damn, who's been letting you suck their tiddies for three years? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Dear God what is wrong with your fonts. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Tuck fucking everlasting. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost https://npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5.blossom.band/850595169e1cac9aca110eafb9686093491384a546d4ea1f7fceade82d136300.gif npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost *cure npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I recently had a conversation with a stranger who believes passionately that nicotine isn't addictive and is actually some sort of miracle cire. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost It's incredible how batshit insane people in Colorado can present as normative. They don't even itch when they detect the bugs crawling under their skin. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost They're all the friends you made along the way npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Forky is the dumbest absurdist millennial writing-room turn that the franchise ever took. I get mad thinking about him. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost If you ever wondered what living in Boulder, Colorado is like, please enjoy this interview and wonder no more. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost You missed 80085? Shame. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Bitcoin being an "adversarial" network means you tolerate the bad actors, because they can't break the rules and you're impotent from stopping them from trying anyways. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Truth is, I don't really know how old this dog is. 17 is the floor. I check at least twice a day that she's not dead. She sleeps looking like she died. It's unsettling. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Every morning my 17 year old Chihuahua forgets that she's old. She wakes me up at 6 and wag-dances while she waits for me to prepare her breakfas. Then she does a few laps around the backyard looking for neighborhood cats to chase away. By 7am, she's asleep for the next 12 hours. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost For some reason I either completely misinterpreted your note or replied to the wrong one. Can't for the life ofe think why I was replying about nodes. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I don't think it's about network share. Those are empty numbers that can be manipulated. It's about economically relevant nodes that originate high volumes of transactions (e.g. exchanges, swap services, etc...). If none of those entites are signaling BIP-110, the miners can't be bothered to care. After user activation, BIP-110 will immediately drop in hash rate and transactions will take hours or days to confirm at a safe depth. It will die so fast, and so many of these amatuer outrage-addicts are going to be even more confused and angry than they already are. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost https://apnews.com/article/bitcoin-founder-mystery-london-trial-551147266b0a92d99ecc2944ab806e3a (mentions Pokemon at the end) npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost You speak in riddles npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost This is true-ta npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Simple login? I don't know how many aliases you get with a free account -- be aware that you can't destroy an alias. It consumes the slot forever. But yeah, you can just set your from field to an alias. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I'm not sure I understand the assignment, but I'm curious how Tutanota does or does not fit your requirements. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I'm too petty for this high road stuff npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost It's a bot, professor. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost #dungeonsynth npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Take screenshots, keep the receipts. You have an asymmetric bet that could turn into a dunking opportunity. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I have a morbid fascination with watching lunatics fail. Before BIP-110 I had only BSV to laugh at. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Its because nobody really knows or cares about BIP-110. It's a LARP for very online people. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost No that he was a Pokemon cartoon fan and adopted the moniker from the main character (in Japanese). This plays into his backstory as an awkward autistic kid who dressed up as a ninja in public. His sister did a whole testimony fleshing out this story. Its. A. Whole. Deal. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost MORE LIKE TARDANO AMIRITE npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I learned that from Craig Wright (unfortunately). He worked that fact into his lore. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Oh yes, I have Zeus. I can't get enough consistency getting my payments routed through purchased liquidity, and I've experienced too much instability in the app. The delivery is getting a little sloppy imo. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I guess to answer your "Why not" question, I suppose it's because the rest of the options appear to be less private than Phoenix, although I'm aware there are tradeoffs in there as well. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Such as? npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Am I being a bitch when I say I am annoyed by Phoenix Wallet fees? Like, okay, 75 sats isn't the end of the world but, come ON, this is the best they can do? Jesus, whenever I make that much in routing fees or nostr shit posts, I'm like "Really? I kinda didn't do anything." npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Everyone knows this is a bluff and the only people who would do this are complete retards. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Are they SSD or spinning platter? Spinning platter over USB is going to take a very long time to sync. I experimented with an external USB 3.0 SuperSpeed spinning platter external hard drive and a raspberry pi 4, and it took a month to sync the chain. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost I mean Kruse is just a fabulist. He doesn't care, and is going to keep doing his schtick. I think Kratter and Mechanic are a little more self-aware than that. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Some bitcoiners: "Bitcoin's consensus is what keeps the system resistant to attacks! Changing the rules requires overwhelming agreement" npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost If it is their expectation that we're all just gonna pretend BIP-110 never happened after it fails, they are sorely mistaken. npub1zw7ftkfpezmtym8n2j2fvnd0smunztl9pyjys0fxdqne08vq397s5yvpu5 Rich Nost Ask Trace Mayer or Roger Ver
