Last Notes npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I’ll probably just not worry about compatibility then. I can cross that bridge if anyone cares about P2P relays and importing the pear library we built into actual Nostr clients. If we only use it internally it’ll be much easier. I figured that was the case though. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Nostr devs out there: Is there anything that stops Nostr from recognizing a different type of key as legitimate signatures on the network aside from the (admittedly very painful) bootstrapping problem of client compatibility/adoption? npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Something that you can’t do on twitter is what it needs. A major differentiator npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann GM, if a doctor prescribes you something, you don’t actually have to buy it or take it. The responsibility for living life drugged out of your mind or deal with whatever crazy list of side effects that may arise is still yours. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann https://blossom.primal.net/c653d5600d8b73745d978b834fa418fd8b20539e5077765ed1bc8baa3b6efa99.png npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Any feedback you can give on this idea, Gracey is looking for some. She's been playing around with the idea of Bitcoin educational gaming and tinkering with lightning stuff. Give it a go, it's super short play spans and I've been screwing around with it while on a phone call and just randomly while waiting around for stuff. #nevent1q…6hvq npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Played this for like 20 minutes while on hold with support 🤣 https://satsprint.onrender.com npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Tell him to swap out the concord. His funds should be safe in the meantime but there’s zero reason to leave it there. If you lost a key you would never leave it so there was no third option. That’s what he has right now. Replace the CC with a third key. Even a software key is fine for a decent multisig. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann If you are using a Mk3 through the Q and didn't use a lot of dice rolls in generating your keys, consider it compromised and move to any quick location you can find. If you have another wallet without a coldcard, send it there, if you have a trusted exchange send it there temporarily, if you can create a quick software wallet send it there. Make sure all the normal process and backups are done carefully during this and then prepare for a better multisig setup for your replacement. My tools i used with a couple of people and for myself when i couldn't remember which software i set up one of my CC keys with: - connect CC to sparrow, import and it will find any and all related keys and balances. You can send from there to any new keys or non CC keys you have - generate a new key or hell if you are limited just send it to a good exchange like river to get it out of harms way as quick as you can. You can get a better setup after you get it out of immediate danger npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Been so focused on getting keys moved and contacting people and responding to DMs i forgot my Nostr fma: IF YOU HAVE A COLDCARD PLEASE MOVE YOUR BITCOIN. Assume it is compromised, be careful but act quickly. We're trying to push out a video asap on what to do but here's a quick version in the meantime... https://blossom.primal.net/d650571a69724cc52f46b0d16e402912f74963e702a65b23a947b32cb635c4c7.png npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I wanted to believe otherwise but the surge in explicit socialists candidates going full retard and *gaining* popularity because of it is honestly frightening. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann https://blossom.primal.net/8ed5741ef638efe8971a03dd0875b197f47564056167703241b45a97fa53db82.gif npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann GM There are no reserve requirements for banks. They can issue as much debt as they want from nothing at all. This is normal and could never have massive, systemic negative consequences so don't think about it. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Correct. I have a show all about that actually 🤣 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Imagine thinking that one achieves independence from a totalitarian ruler without paying some price for it? No volatility, no risk, no days of losses, no period of stagnancy, no regulatory risk, no institutions fighting back. Just skipping through meadows and green candles and then throwing in the towel the moment the wind blows. Bitcoin isn't about getting rich, if that's why you're here then you've lost the plot. Bitcoin is about not being beholden to the waste and corruption of a class of people who live off of monetary fraud. Bitcoin is about PROVING that they cannot dilute us for their wars, they cannot counterfeit for their subsidies, they cannot indebt us and our children and their children to get the lie of "free stuff" today. Bitcoin is about independence and the risk and costs that come with it. We may get wealthy IF we achieve independence. But we will never get it asking for permission or waiting for green candles before even taking a stance. Imagine if the American founders had said "we pledge our lives as long as we are comfortable, our fortunes as long as they only go up, and our sacred honor as long as we only benefit from this quest. Otherwise we apologize and ask the King's approval." Some people may not understand that this is THE battle, and maybe they have no idea how or where they are paying for the corruption of their own society. But they are paying for it nonetheless. Bitcoin is the solution and it's not because its going to go up every day you hold it. Quite literally the opposite in fact. When we take away the power to dilute the money, we force them to come straight to our door with their guns and demand what we have earned directly. Bitcoin's mission is to destroy the illusion that they are giving us something for free, and prove that the state is a system of violence and the central bank is a system of covert theft at an unheard of scale. That is the purpose of this tool. It is *independence* through technological rebellion. Not wealth. It is *risking our wealth* for a chance at ending the era of central banking and infinite debts and a world where kids grow up with the poisonous and absurd notion that even as technology becomes more advanced and our capacity to produce grows exponentially, somehow everything still gets "naturally" more expensive and wealth becomes more concentrated. Nothing could be further from the obvious truth. It is govt debt, the central bank money printer, and the counterfeit class that huddles around them like leeches that suffocate society of what would otherwise be stable and consistent growth in our general prosperity, time, and meaning. If you are here only because of 50% returns and leave when it falls 25%... we are not the same. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I really wish the US had a free market economy. It’s hard to imagine how prosperous we would be. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Mining pool centralization is a very isolated and limited risk. There’s tons that cannot be changed or isn’t at risk because of this. It’s simply a vulnerability to a certain class of problem. To compare that to the nature of fiat and the myriad ways we are getting F’d is like comparing someone who keeps you in a cage and whips you every time you don’t do exactly what they say, with someone who throws eggs on your house when they get frustrated and inconveniences you for an hour or so. Centralization in mining pools is a class of a problem that lives in a totally separate universe from the problems of fiat. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann ?? "what is wrong with Datum?" I guess you didn't watch the video? npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann That is the full episode, lol. We're doing shorter form so it fits the video platforms better. Here's the new channel though if that's what you mean: https://www.youtube.com/@GuysTake npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann What is the MOST important project in Bitcoin right now? It's probably not what you think. https://v.nostr.build/C6RJOuNPqzV0aJDF.mp4 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann wow.... that's fucking amazing npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann There's going to be a flood in the next couple of years. Local Ai will be absolutely wild in less than 5. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Could not be less relevant to anything said here. Nothing i said made any claim at all about whether you should run a pruned versus a full node. The data above is exactly the same no matter what you choose. So if you feel that strongly about pruned nodes, don't run one. Nobody anywhere in any way said you should run one or the other so i don't know what you're wigging out about. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Pruning occurs after validation. It's purely a storage choice and has nothing to do with whether you download the entire chain or not. The IBD operates exactly the same with the pruned node simply dropping block data earlier than a certain threshold after validation and keeping the UTXO set. In other words, it's literally no different. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann https://blossom.primal.net/0aec737ac456f77dc198f91816d24665c9368500e5c1bccd753e7bf44a464091.gif npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Been working on a really frustrating video Guy’s Take 😆 Got 2 on the way though npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Holy shit! Kimi K3 just dropped and it outperforms Fable 5 at coding takes. State of the art Ai models just went fully open and the full weights will be available in just a week or so npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Of course, Bitcoin is a great example of doing everything needed being built as simple and naively as possible to make it work in its most important capacity (i suggest "Bitcoin is worse is better" by gwern if you've never read it). npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann All made up of just 4 proteins npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann If only you could get the *sound* of things like this moving around to match the majesty and surreal nature of their visual effect. The periodic RAAAAAAAA, REEEAAAAA sound really kills it, lol. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann “A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system.” — John Gall npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann https://blossom.primal.net/a3883f88a1567755304d142cb1fce09e3fcbbd2a96802e67eeb778f0aa4fdf38.gif
#nevent1q…d27x npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann This is exciting dude! Nice work npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Never heard of it. They doing the same thing though? npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Interesting I don’t even know that movie. Will check it out 🙏🏻 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Ah damn. Would’ve been fun to catch this while it was happening. Coulda zapped a big one live, lol. It’s always fun to get first impressions from people seeing zaps for the first time. I apparently need to check Nostr more frequently 😂 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann That seems like a lot of work to demonstrate the obvious. 😆 I mean just off the top of my head I can see dozens of different motion and muscles that are activated, you have to actually picture the shape and flow of the letter and the word, predict the spacing of the words, etc - there’s numerous things that typing is explicitly supposed to be a shortcut for, thus those things wouldn’t be activated. I guess I’m not trying to hate, but it seems a little “duh” to me, lol. And when it comes to remembering what you wrote vs typed, it also makes sense that you would retain it a little better when written specifically because tying it to a more intricate and explicit motion actually sets things into the mind more concretely. If every letter and word is different, there’s a lot of pathways being fired. When typing everything is just the same tap motion. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann WE DID IT GANG!!! 58K GANG FOR LIIIFFEEEE! https://blossom.primal.net/ce24e02a4d37e70e010920824c0279ff40d9704787b7f87f314056ce980c6a12.gif #nevent1q…q7yt npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann because i haven't been banned yet, lol.

It will just start having a lot more Guy's Takes episodes and on Fountain and other video enabled clients you'll be able to watch the video from the same feed. No change needed if you already follow, only the youtube is under a new channel name. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann https://youtu.be/hraWif0lnRw npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Guy's Take is officially here! I've got something special for you guys that I'm super excited about. We've put together a new channel and are shifting to video as the dominant, regular content type for the show. I also am separating out Guy's Takes (shorter form, topic specific videos) as its own medium to keep it separate from the longer form interviews. Check out the new channel! Subscribe and stay tuned. We've got a ton of stuff coming and so many ideas to dig into. It's a new era for the show. Hope you join me 🫡 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjQc97Xay_nGdHhrW8D_ZnQ npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann “Got don’t” is supposed to be “got done” if that wasn’t totally obvious 😆 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann It’s shocking how fast an entire week can go by while you’re scrambling the whole time and working constantly only to feel like you got nowhere. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann A bunch of fucking crooks and pedophiles got in power and they are milking the country for all it’s worth. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann What is “Falling Down 2.0”? npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Oh man. I love some good tits npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Appreciate that, I’ll look at the STRC chart for a good laugh 😆 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I read what people are interested in and want to hear. I’ll always give my take but I make the assumption that my audience can think for themselves. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann 1. They held centralized tether, so honestly what’s the difference? There’s one key either way. Bitbox would be vastly better. 2. I recommended the hardware wallet to the listener of the show so they didn’t end up like Iran. 3. Doesn’t really matter, the point is about holding your own keys. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann If you think the goal of a healthy economy is to never have banking problems or never have contractions, then you believe a Disney fairy tale. Fiat and central banking does not prevent nor stop them. It makes them *systemic* rather than surface layer. In other words, they simply build for 10x as long and when they collapse, they take everything with them. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann No depressions. Bank panics are necessary if the bank is corrupt or insolvent. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I explained exactly why in the second paragraph. I gave the exact reasons why no one is experiencing it. And it’s not “theory,” it’s exactly what happens in the absence of massive money printing. In fact, in the sectors that out pace it, we even still experience today. Computation and electronics all improve so fast that every element of compute gets more affordable every year despite trillions printed. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Already part way through them. Just been crazy busy. You’ll probably notice I haven’t had many reads at all lately. Just a lot going on npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann “Just let humans use whatever the fuck they want to use in order to transact, to save, or whatever.” When have I not allowed that in any way whatsoever? I’m telling you what the extremely likely result of that is in the long term. Literally nobody is forced to use anything in Bitcoin or crypto. The outcome as it has been is exactly what you are demanding. If you are mad that people think differently, then you simply can’t handle the basic reality of decentralization and markets. It doesn’t mean everyone agrees with you. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann That makes absolutely no sense. Bitcoin maximalism is just the simple result of thinking about the outcome. It’s not prescription, it’s a logical conclusion. The idea that realizing what the outcome of competing monies will be is “authoritarian” honestly only shows how much baggage you have coming into this. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann They say we issue debt from nothing because it “grows the economy” and it’s a “net benefit.” Well… if we have 2% price inflation, it means the “net” is explicitly a loss. Otherwise stuff would be more affordable. 2% inflation means that the cost of explicitly out weighed the additional production, because the net result was clearly that things got 2% more expensive. This is exactly why you can’t afford a house, you need 2 earners, and you have no time. You’ve been losing minimum 2% on net of living standard every year for decades. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann I have become a huge Zorin fan #nevent1q…nchz npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann The electric credit system isn’t bad, it’s simply regulated by a *real* interest rate and genuine savings being loaned. Otherwise it’s either being manipulate by price controls (on interest rates) or by fraud (rehypothecation and fake backing). But there’s nothing inherently wrong with credit. It’s the fake prices, central bank manipulation, and financial fraud to fake economic signals that is bad. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Yes. The period from the late 1870s to about 1900 experienced the most sustained natural price deflation probably in US history, and it also happens to be called “the Industrial Revolution.” And the greatest period of rising living standards occurred during this as well. The reason recent “deflationary” period are called recessions or depressions is because they are *credit* deflations. It’s caused by excessive fiat debt issuance from thin air. Look at Japan for the past 20 years, look at the Great Depression. Check the debt levels, they are credit deflations, not deflation from growth. But the most obvious actually right in front of you. It’s the phone you’re holding in your hand. The price deflation in computers and electronics has been so extraordinary that its even outpaced inflation by an order of magnitude. But it’s the *exact* same thing. If you cram 10x the amount of gates in a chip or build a machine that produces chairs at twice the rate, you’re doing the same thing, improving productivity and output and lowering the cost of the good. That’s natural deflation. We would have that in every sector, in every good and service, essentially always, if we had sound money. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann There is no false mental model more destructive than the idea that prices are supposed increase over time. All prices should fall if the economy is more productive. Indefinitely. It is literally only because trillions of dollars are counterfeited from nothing every year, and our time, living standards, home affordability, and critical resources get sucked out of the economy to pay for it that things get more expensive. It is explicitly unnatural and it’s explicitly because we have fake money and a communist central bank at the lowest layer of our economic system. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann The 2 biggest and most unexpected winners of the Ai era are json and markdown files 😆 npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Yes, but get a gun first. npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev TheGuySwann Do you feel politics is a pure disaster of corruption and evil?

It’s because they can take all the well known vulnerabilities and red/blue testing strategies on 1000x as much code at 1000x the rate as a typical human… and thus they find the holes in the Swiss cheese. It’s purely about economics. It wasn’t worth paying for 1000s of hours of man hours to find and close every bug in every piece of software. But since exploiting them has just done 1000x and finding them has had the same speed up, we’re gonna see a wave of serious exploits, massive hacks, an probably an era of profound and constant patching at a rate we’ve never seen.
