Last Notes npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Tldr since the Guy interview: I find 110 activating smoothly to be the least risky and least chaotic scenario. I was getting the game theory steps a bit wrong. Something longer coming when I have time to write everything down. Also a few more pods. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Apparently you haven't kept up with my X. I should really make an update on both platforms. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf There is no reason for this. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Knots on StartOS, mining with OCEAN using DATUM. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf This bot account is a deranged moron who apparently thinks I'm pro spam. GTFO. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf The vast majority of Bitcoin users have no idea BIP110 is even happening. Disruptions to the ability to use Bitcoin as money should be avoided. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf I content myself knowing that you're completely wrong. Feel free to point out why you think my book is "AI slop". If you don't want to do that, kindly fuck off. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Disagree. If a user's transaction gets mined in a non-compliant block, that transaction will be in conflict. Double spending will be possible on the margins. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Thanks, I appreciate that! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf See here. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Look at any of my highlighted X posts, listen to any of my recent podcast appearances, or any Bitcoin Infinity Show / Feeedom Footprint Show from about the middle of 2023. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf I don't believe the "good" outcome is likely. That's why I'm not supporting at this point. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Care to tell me why you think that? Did you read it? npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Thanks so much for your support, Jeff! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf I'm extremely anti-spam. I don't believe a soft fork that has consensus is the solution. I believe it will do more harm than good. I have receipts. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Haven't been for a while. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Defending Bitcoin is out! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Check out my latest podcast appearance on The Bitcoin Way podcast. These guys are on the front line of Bitcoin security, and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf I appreciate you Michael! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf I had a great time telling Daniel all about Defending Bitcoin. Give it a listen to find out more about the book! We also cover the BIP-110 situation in quite a bit of deal, with my current reasoning made abundantly clear. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf You can download it again yourself. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf https://blossom.primal.net/37d93128dfe4bcc0694e0ea9beb8dfb2d88970e72c307ba61a96955237466d77.jpg npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Write a review on Amazon if you've read and liked Max's book! It helps the algorithm and gets this book in front of more eyes. Fiat bullshit and all that, but it works. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Max's book is seriously excellent, check it out if you haven't already! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Sounds excellent! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Cheers Roger, it looks great! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Happy to do it, let's talk! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf At least I hope it's interesting! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Looks great! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf I want to talk about Defending Bitcoin on as many podcasts as possible and get the word out. Who would you recommend I talk to? Any Bitcoin podcasters here who would like to have me on? npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf The effect is even worse in a permissionless system. Can't stop the things from getting out into the wild. Warning against doing stupid things is one of the only forms of recourse. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf I think this falls into the category of just because you CAN do something. doesn't mean you SHOULD. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Look inside my upcoming book, Defending Bitcoin: Industrial-Grade Cybersecurity for the Monetary Grid 👇 npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf @nprofile…nq3e doesn't bite! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Thanks, issue with the epub renderer, I'll fix it. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Max's book is fantastic. A much-needed contribution to the space! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Great to hear! Let's talk. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Very cool! I have my own webshop, bitcoininfinitystore.com, with @nprofile…ddf9, and we accept Bitcoin from there, but maybe we can discuss collaboration! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Always. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Congratulations! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Both! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Thanks! Looking forward to your thoughts. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf It is a Bitcoin maximalist perspective. Although it's really simply a Bitcoin perspective. Other cryptos are essentially not covered at all. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Thank you! Looking forward to hearing what you think! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf You can hear me tell @nprofile…3hw8 all about it on the latest @nprofile…k3zk on Fountain: npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf I've been a bit absent from Nostr for the last little while, but that's about to change. For the past few months, I started focusing on a new project, and I'm finally ready to announce what I've been up to. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf This looks fantastic Martti, great work! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Merchants need inbound liquidity, this isn't just a typical use case. It's an essential one. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf It's for inbound liquidity, the point isn't to be balanced. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Boltz closes channels with lots of liquidity on their side. I understand, they need to do channel management. But it doesn't work to keep an inbound liquidity channel open to them. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf If you're a merchant and you want one, fat inbound liquidity channel, you want it to be reliable, and you want it to last a long time, who would you either pair with or buy the liquidity from? npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Thanks Derek, I'll try it! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf What's the best Nostr key management browser extension these days? I've been using Alby but no longer use their wallet, I'm thinking an alternative would be better. What's out there right now? npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Awesome, Max! I'll give it a read! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf This is incredibly sinister. I had no idea! Thanks for drawing my attention to the issue. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Looking forward to hearing hour the next 22 hours went! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf One of my favorite bands is Moonsorrow. 15, 20, 25 minute songs. Epic, pagan black metal. Lyrics almost exclusively in Finnish. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf My day started at 4AM helping my friend @nprofile…x32y buy Beef Bits before departing Finland. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf I really enjoyed this one, and I hope it provides value in this wider conversation. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf You can subscribe to our episodes now if you'd like to support us, with ad-free episodes one day early! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf The latest @nprofile…k3zk Show is out now, with @nprofile…dgpe . npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf My local butcher accepts Bitcoin! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Cloudflare is down, right? npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Good take Matey. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf We had a good run :( npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Look the evil in the eye. If you can. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf This is a great series Jimmy. Thanks for covering this important issue. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf That's not what it means. And I'm not kidding. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf I would advocate for consensus changes to fix known exploits. Plus as many known theoretical attack vectors as possible. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Bitcoin is critical infrastructure. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Congratulations Matt! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf I understand that perspective. Unintended consequences is always a thing. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Tiresome. Oh well! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Cybersecurity is all about defense. Defending against attackers (threats). npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Insults are the thing now (again?) on Twitter. It's exhausting. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf If everyone adopts the new consensus rules, it's not control. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf So what is wrong with closing off the currently abused exploits and leaving OP_RETURN only? npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf 👀In a good way I hope! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf GM Derek! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf I'd like to engage with you in good faith here. I hope you don't block me as a filteroor. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf I see no reason to make it easier to put arbitrary data on Bitcoin. I'm in this for Bitcoin as money. Not as data storage. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf No thank you. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Very much so. I was in favor of policy-based filters up til the Core change. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf 🤝 npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf "They have only been ineffective since Taproot because a certain core devs refused to patch the default policy run by 99% of nodes." - so they've been ineffective. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf I can't tell if you're agreeing with me or disagreeing with me. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Spot on. With that said: I am against REAL censorship - making addresses unable to transact. That's all. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf I'll take that as a complement! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf What exactly is censorship on Bitcoin? npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Agreed there. I'll try to make my investment count! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Thanks Mr Brisket! I'll do my best to stick around! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf This was a blast! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Is that all there is to it? npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf 🧡 npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Thanks Jake, hope all is good with you! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Great work Joe! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf GM Nostr! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf This is an extremely good write-up. I especially like the distinction made about transactions that raise the fee floor - I don't think that point is talked about enough. Read the full thing! What do you think about it? npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Fuck, that hit me again man, not gonna lie. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Just before I went to sleep last night, I saw that Charlie Kirk had been shot, and that it didn't look good. I hoped for the best, but didn't have a good feeling.
