We could've used thsi humility four years ago when over confident maxis were making the case that "we don't need soft forks" that "Bitcoin will go up forver no matter what we do"
The truth is that Bitcoin is going against the most evil and most powerful forces on the planet and it's a miracle it has survived as long as it has.
If people like hodl ans odell had been a little more humble we'd already have zcash drivechains and a bitcoin hivemimd prediction market with Paul's solution to the oracle problem. Instead we're fighting over "spam".
Better late than never I guess

I see what you mean now. Yes futarchy does have a "democratic" thing in it. It can be direct, I think that's better actually.
The main point is that the "democracy" is not in charge of making decisions about *how* to get to wellbeing. Just what to measure.
The *how* is determined by a conditional prediction market on the measure.
So instead of people voting for welfare they vote to measure their spending power and the market tells them that welfare is not the best way to acheive that.
And yes, good point. Bitcoin has powarchy now. Thank goodness or we might already have all kinds of dumb ideas in consensus.

I agree with your point on our current crop of miners, very sad that people with so much skin in the game don't take the time to learn more about Bitcoin.
So while maybe human node runners might be better than the current situation it would also be terrible.
Here's why: in a centralized world bad ceos get outcompeted by good ceos so we end up with the higher end of the bell curve in charge. This is pretty good and mostly works. If the decentralized world is doomed to follow the middle of the brll curve (because everyonr gets a vote) we'll lose. We need a decentralized way to weigh the capable members of the decentralized community higher than the average member.

2026-04-17 17:22:08 CEST

- reply

I think we actually agree.
But you're hiding a ton of assumptions behind "informada"
Dumb people voting for welfare is decentralized decision making but, as I said, it's the bad kind. How do we ensure that only the "informed" people get a vote in a decentralized way? That's what pow, or futarchy I guess, gets you.

You can vibe code an coding agent
It's literally just the tool use, tool result loop. Codex is open source, pi is open source, claude is...
Just have one of those do it for you and make it do it just the way you like it.
Mine uses plan9port tools only, write raw tokens directly to a pty running rc, reads raw bytes from the pty, escape sequences and all. Somehow it works.

You don't need to repeat yourself but it's clear you missed the point. The change to bitcoin is intentionally minimal amd all the possible security problems are pushed to the side chains. If the side chain you kept your coins on has an inflation bug that's your problem, the mainchain will only redeem the number of coins that were deposited.

block hash says: this event was created after this block

People are totally missing the point on some of this ai agent stuff
I saw a guy make some tool to check for weurd unicode tricks in shell commands, I guess in case the agent tries to trick you into aproving a dangerous command?
But claude code is not even open source, and the agent can come up with infinite ways to trick you, a unix one liner is turing complete url defenses are no good in this context
Anyway, getting a good bwrap command for agents on your system isn't that hard and like bare minimum if you have any sense. Also it's fun to watch the agents try to escape when they realize you've put them in a sandbox 😅

hahal, the blue boards may seem like a good point but those are for advertisers
the relay point is equally backwards, the fact that some relays may just ban posts that some find objectionable is a good argument against asking the people you follow to tag tp your sensibilities. just read from the resteictive relays if you care about that.

I must admit that in this respect, I am a normie.
But I genuinely believe that you only hurt yourself by asking people you follow to post in a way that doesn't offend your sensibilities. If the person you're following has no value then don't follow them. If their posts have value to you, you will hurt that value by trying to make them post politely.
