Last Notes npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Legit, credit to Nifty for letting him speak on the topic. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Yes... Because it's our podcast. Not his. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf I don't work for Knut. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf I draw the line at personal insults. You do that, you're just a troll. GTFO. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Fuck off, troll. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf I see zero actual harms from 110. A couple of niche use cases will need redeveloping. No risk to being able to self custody or send Bitcoin for normal users. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf It was more inertia than anything. I had my node running the 110 client, and I knew I could always change versions later. To a certain extent, I was just waiting and watching. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf This is taking "value is subjective" to an absurd place. Bitcoin isn't for everyone's meaning. It's for money. The protocol already has rules. More rules is fine. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Yes :) npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf I'm live on Stacker News right now! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Join me in a few hours and AMA! 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 I mostly see Luke as committing to forking off to an altcoin if 110 doesn't work. That profoundly saddens me. This all-or-nothing talk is part of the problem. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Knots on StartOS, mining with OCEAN using DATUM. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Apparently the IBD has been improved significantly in recent Core releases. Not just assumevalid. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf This bot account is a deranged moron who apparently thinks I'm pro spam. GTFO. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf You've given me lots of food for thought. I'm not saying I'll change my position. But if I do, it will be final. Still a little ways to go yet. 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 This fellow is reply-guying me elsewhere too. Seems to have a specific issue with me. Oh well! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf No, idiot. A perfectly valid transaction could be mined by a non-110-signalling block and then it's in limbo. If it gets mined by the BIP-110 chain, it will be in a totally separate block with separate history, which may have downstream effects. But the BIP-110 side could also get RBF'd, permitting a double-spend. 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 Thanks for the feedback! I'm actively considering my position on BIP-110. If forced to pick between "pro" and "anti", I'm currently "anti", but there's a lot more nuance. I'm mostly focusing on the downside tail risks. Maybe I'm overweighting that scenario. 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 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 See my recent pod with Guy Swann for the best explanation. Or any of my other pod appearances. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Soon! We've actually never done ebook on our website but we can figure that out. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Coming soon! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Haven't been for a while. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf 🧡 npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Thanks for the support!

These guys are on the front line of Bitcoin security, and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Chapter 4 of Defending Bitcoin - Industrial Control Systems and Securing Critical Infrastructure. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Chapter 4 of Defending Bitcoin - Industrial Control Systems and Securing Critical Infrastructure. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf It's most of the middle third. 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 Chapter 2 of Defending Bitcoin. Bitcoin — The Hardest Money Ever Made. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Sounds excellent! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Cheers Roger, it looks great! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf The BTCHEL train keeps on rolling! Hopefully see you there this September. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Happy to do it, let's talk! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf At least I hope it's interesting! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Please do purchase a physical copy if you like the book in your advance read! And you can buy as many as you want, if you find it tasty :) 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 Defending Bitcoin lands on June 15th, in just under a month. Between now and then, I'm going to preview what's inside, one chapter at a time. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf 🧡 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 Yes. 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 Worth exploring, Joe. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf What is the reason to do this? Why does it need to be on Bitcoin? npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf The new edition of Max's book is really quite excellent, I highly encourage picking up a physical copy. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Very good development. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Max's excellent Praxeology of Privacy is out in physical form soon. Follow along here as he publishes a chapter per day! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Cheers! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Taking it to the next level! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf @nprofile…nq3e doesn't bite! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf It's not so much "over" as providing standard options. There is an argument that we could just direct all fiat payments to Amazon, though. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf And glad you're liking the book! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Cool, I'll check that out! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf I haven't supported BIP-110 for some time now. Quite open about it. I expand on the topic in podcasts, mostly. I don't take a position in the book. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf I wish I could, but it's too tight for me to squeeze it in. I'll make it one of these days! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Thanks, issue with the epub renderer, I'll fix it. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf GM Nostr! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Thanks Paul! 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 Thanks a lot for the support, Max! And I'm looking forward to your book launching also! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Thank you! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf 100%, it will be available on bitcoininfinitystore.com the same day as the Amazon launch. npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Thank you! Looking forward to hearing what you think! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Thanks Daniel!

It means a lot! npub1fk8h6g8zhftw8c7pga2zjd84p2z949up5lc3qdchm9v4m0q7mwws7jcwld lukedewolf Thanks Jeff! Thanks for all your support! 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.
