Energy should be recycled, but it's being siphoned off into dead pools. Miners should spend or give away their coins. Trading it for USD will result in death npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro Maybe I should npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro Clay you are a great leader of the opt out community.

And I picked it up myself npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro Bitcoin has become occupied by wicked tenants. It's time to throw them out and let it out to new ones who will give the fruits to its rightful owners, the plebs #blake2b npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro Maybe #cochiseCounty will have lower fees and prioritized access one day 👀 "Miners using DATUM can prioritize their transactions, even tailoring their mining efforts to benefit specific communities.

I'm sure they'll throw a temper tantrum on the way npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro It's amazing to me how much hate I've received for supporting Bitcoin #Blake2b. Let's take a look at the pathetic state of Bitcoin #SHA256 today: -same number of nodes as in 2017 -mining is dominated by 5 big companies -core devs are completely captured and appointing inexperienced stooges as maintainers Is this what you're afraid of breaking up? We have nothing to lose. Bitcoin SHA256 is accomplishing none of the goals envisioned by Satoshi. Nobody is using it as uncensorable peer to peer electronic cash. The people controlling SHA256 are happy to see it as a decoration on a balance sheet. They're happy with their conferences and badges and social status. They see most people as stupid and unsophisticated. They've assumed power over one of the most powerful tools humanity has ever known, and only used it to stroke their egos. What happened on August 8th was maybe the greatest purifying event in the history of Bitcoin. It separated the people happy with Bitcoin in its failed state from those who are willing to work to fulfill its vision. It's people like me who have put in the time and effort to learn how to run a node and miner who will write history, while those who are comfortable sitting back and criticizing while not actually doing anything will end up in its ash heap. Go ahead and attack me. Show the world how out of touch and complacent you are. Those who believe will be ready September 1. npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro Decentralized technology doesn't do much good without underlying social cohesion in the communities using it. Otherwise you're just connecting to servers run by people you'll never meet, which isn't that different from what we already have. Fortunately #cochiseCounty already has a lot of cohesion in the opt out building community 😀 npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro Let the dead bury the dead. Life will go on the #Blake2b chain #nevent1q…hzdv npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro 💯 it's much easier to ignore negative energy than engage with it npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro #nostr is optimized for community use. If everyone connects to one locally run relay, apps only have to worry about one data source, which means faster load times and fewer missed messages. Maybe there are regional or global relays too, but most communication happens among people who see each other in person regularly. This is the reality with decentralized technologies, and how I see society organized in the future. npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro I'm so lucky to live near people like this! #nevent1q…q9lu npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro It's fitting that math, something that exists only in our minds, will be one of our main tools for liberation. We aren't as much physically oppressed as we are mentally. Our physical circumstances don't need to change as much as how we interact with each other - direct communications and transactions without intermediaries taking an arbitrary cut. Cryptography makes this possible, and it's really up to us when to start using this tool. #nevent1q…v98y npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro Cryptography works because 2+2 =4. There is nothing the government or any institution can do to change that, no matter how powerful they get. That is why we will win npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro Anyone looking for land in #CochiseCounty should contact @nprofile…3mt5 Realty. This is the realtor I worked with when I bought land here two years ago. These guys walk the walk, are living off-grid and have each built their own earthbag house which is no small feat. They're also pillars of the opt-out community here which is why I was so happy to see them both at the meetup last night 😀 npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro I think digital tech can fit into a sovereign life if used the right way: enhancing human capabilities instead of trying to replace them npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro Ideas > identities. This is what makes #nostr different npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro Great points by @npub1vux…h2mj. Nostr and decentralized technologies are just one part of a sovereign life, and a lot of the other parts are happening here in #cochiseCounty. "Decentralized software meets decentralized dirt. If you’re building at this intersection in the high desert, let’s connect." #nevent1q…d9lj npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro Great zoom-out perspective by @nprofile…jw7x.

That is always a concern, but with nostr you can always switch apps or run your own relay. So it's more resistant to corporate takeovers npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro Had a great time at the first ever #cochiseCounty freedom tech meetup! We had a great conversation about the downsides of existing social media technologies and how Nostr addresses those. We also got into Bitcoin a little bit, and it was obvious people were interested in exploring that more. It's really powerful to pick up these tools at a community level.

We might be able see ourselves in a mirror or picture, but the actual experience of ourselves is feelings, not physical appearance. We should live to feel good, not appear a certain way #morningMeditation npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro Saying no to the wrong thing makes you available when the right thing comes along npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro Life is a lot easier if you use things the way they were intended to be used.

Letting yourself feel bored while fully aware frees you from the misery #vipassana #morningmeditation npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro Our true form is not physical. Breaking free from our socially imposed identities helps us express who we really are. Signing up and paying for services with cryptographic keys makes it easier to be ourselves online npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro It can't undo the spam that is already saved on the blockchain, but it is trying to limit that going forward so that regular people can continue to run nodes.

The maintainers rejected PR's from Luke limiting spam because they were 'controversial' yet merged the OP Return increase in the face of overwhelming popular opposition. And it seems the miners are colluding with whatever powerful interests are controlling core devs at this point.

But incestuous core devs who pushed through an overwhelmingly unpopular change are not. The real situation is 25% of node operators have no power. But incestuous core devs who pushed through an overwhelmingly unpopular change have power. People who are still aligned with core devs think they have power. What they don't understand is the people controlling core devs do not give a shit about them or bitcoin npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro Here's a clip from my interview with @@npub1mgv…r9yd where we talk about Cochise County, AZ as a potential freedom tech mecca https://v.nostr.build/USZ6A2ZrutGIB7bC21TVLs.mp4 npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro How do you see that happening if not Knots? npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro I read through this history today, a lot of it seems AI generated but contains a lot of relevant links and details I didn't know about https://studyknots.com/guides/op-return-controversy npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro If you don't see the rot and corruption in Bitcoin Core, you are just not paying attention. This is not about vilifying individual people, but it is shocking that someone went from an alt coiner ready to give up on 'blockchain', to a bitcoin core maintainer in just a couple years. And it seems obvious to me this person was not promoted because of their dedication and history with Bitcoin. I participated in the Chaincode Labs BOSS challenge earlier this year, which is run by Adam Jonas, who is featured prominently in this video. While the program was free and I learned a lot, it left a bad taste in my mouth. They refused to explain the criteria to advance to the second round, then simply cut off access at an unannounced time for those who didn't make it. I left feeling they are looking for devs who will jump the highest when they tell them to, and dangling grants in front of them to keep them in the game. They are turning bitcoin into a career path instead of a tool that can free humanity. It seems to me Core has become another corporation that can be easily controlled, with its employees motivated by material gain https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy8pVqxAGiI npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro GM.

My hope is that the corporations won't want to touch the bip 110 chain which will keep the asics distributed in the hands of regular people at least for a while npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro I'm way more attracted by the 'bitcoin is money' philosophy and active energy of the bip 110 supporters so am following that path for now. Core seems on a path of passive acquiescence to many features not central to bitcoin's mission as money, and I don't see how that will change npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro Nice, I was convinced when I saw the popular opposition to the change on Github, and philosophically I am in favor of bitcoin remaining just money without all the extra features. It's been apparent for a while mining centralization is an issue, and I don't know how a new chain would fix that, but for the moment a new coin with a 'bitcoin is money' philosophy is more attractive to me than the core chain https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32359 npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro The Blake2B era has begun 😀🤠 npub1er775ew586ekz9tek56w9ttlad45m4q9ketfs9h0793dwvfj5y3q53q74t wildburro To all the #bip110 supporters currently being mocked and ridiculed: this is a necessary part of the process.

That would force its supporters to build a new economy without relying on any existing institutions of power, which would give it real strength and value. “no one pours new wine into old wineskins.
