Core back then wanted Bitcoin to be a store of value and not have big blocks. Current Core seems to changing their tune. Seems like they're now siding with Ver?

For me notebooks (Field Notes) and MasterClass videos are helpful.

Been using grapheneOS for a while and often turn off radios. I know that's still not good enough, though. The tricky thing is communications with spouse and kids - walkie talkies have such short range and LoRa seems to have similar range issues. I don't think I could get my wife to get a ham license. I hope mesh networks or walkies get better ranges without massive antennas.

Has anyone explained why leaving things as is (regarding op_return) hurts anything?

2025-09-07 20:40:13 UTC

- reply

But isn’t fair to ask why Core is removing the limit? Does removing it make the code base easier to read/maintain Like, what’s the rationale? Does keeping the limit hurt anything?

2025-09-07 19:34:41 UTC

- reply

Ah, ok. That’s helpful. So, bigger sizes are already allowed. Core is just removing an arbitrary limit.

*size limit increase

No slander intended, just making a point. Same as how “trusting the science” may be questionable due to incentives. So it’s worth asking questions, imo.
Ultimately, I’m just not hearing about the benefits that come from the size limit. Why isn’t that being discussed? Can you speak to the benefits? Instead of benefits all I’m hearing is: It’s worthless to resist or trust the professionals. I just want to know the benefits since I’m usually on the side of progress.

If the technical/rational ones are being paid then should they still be considered the only valid ones?
I’m not saying core is bought and paid for. But unless we know 100% that they are not then why would we think they’re the only ones with valid opinions?

Can someone tell me why increasing op_return size limit is a good thing? How does it make bitcoin better as a monetary network? Does it make lightning, Ark, or ecash way better?

I stop using a service if it does that or disallows a VPN connection (looking at you, Steam).

If it could look a mobile gaming machine or phone that’d be so dope since then no one would know what it’s for - especially if people make games for it. Swap out SD cards for games vs wallet.

Ice Barrel 300, Active Aqua ¼ HP, and supplies. Just under $2.5k with taxes and shipping. About the cheapest I could find with insulation and decent looks.

What types of categories, though? Take gymnastics: do you go with weight or BMI? But how do you handle that men typically have more upper body strength? Take running? Is it weight, height, etc?
Even if it something as simple as BMI or some single number formula how many groupings do you have?
Let’s say there are 2-3 groups. Who’s watching those events? I assume everyone would watch the “top” group since they’d be more elite.
Bottom levels prob wouldn’t be watched.
You could argue men’s sports are watched more but at least some folks like to watch women’s sports. If you just have groupings based on some single number of “eliteness” then who watches the lower levels where there is no gender differences?
As in, some women’s sports might have lower level of “elites” (compared to men) but people will watch women’s gymnastics and running, etc. But who’s going to watch “Level 3” athletes that are, by definition, the least elite?

I’m not a boomer but I don’t love swears. Swearing is clearly a way to express an extreme utterance (if not then just say something tame like “flip”) so why would someone taking offense be unexpected?

Garmin works nicely on Apple. I’ve been an Apple Watch user since the first one and I switch to Garmin 4 months ago and am preferring it. To be fair, I love analog watches and have the Crossover and am also an avid runner (which Garmin is better for vs Apple Watch).

I have mornings like this. But, they are far less since I’ve started running 3 miles 4-5 times a week. First few weeks no big change but after that it has made mornings better. I think maybe the running is helping me sleep better and stress less. I also run without music - that may be related (more time to think seems to lower stress).

I used to do something I called "hardcore week" where I would do something similar. But I'll have to try a day of it since I couldn't stick with a week very often. 😃

Have you found any that you can turn even when hands are sweety? Most dive watches I’ve had are hard to turn without dry hands. For that reason I gravitate toward super compressor watches.

I’m also skeptical. That being said, a lot of folks don’t like or understand bitcoin and then change their mind (myself included). But, prob he just wants money and to win.
I don’t know if I’ll vote for Trump but at least he’s acting favorably to Bitcoin - Biden seems openly hostile to it. So what’s worse? A guy against it or a guy that could go either way since we don’t know how he really feels?

That’s pretty baller. I’m not sure if I’m a weak man or if I think my wife and kids need me too much. Hard to know what the answer is unless tested. I just hope to not be tested. I’d rather not find out that I’m a tittybaby. :) In the meantime ima try to be private - ala Ron Swanson.

I generally think the same way as you. However, my concern is the future. What happens if my ideologies become “problematic” in the future when sentiment shifts for one reason or another. Look at folks who get canceled based on past comments, that at the time, were acceptable.

It is currently at $2m. Any assets over $2m are treated as if sold and you pay taxes at cap gains rates.

Totally fair. But then you cannot expect to live in a place with services like roads, police, military, etc. Unless those things can be subscribed to or paid for like how anarchists believe (which could happen - I just haven't seen it happen anywhere yet).

I’m fine to pay some kind of minimum tax to live in a good place. But the US is getting excessive and the exit tax at $2m is a joke. A few more years of inflation and most folks will be making $2m a year. :)

Correct, but his businesses were US based. Also, the US has an exit tax when you expatriate - which sucks.

Ver is a crazy guy and if he did underreport his holdings then that’s bad news. Also, his businesses were US businesses.
Are taxes too high? Is the exit tax sucky as heck? Yes and yes. But, it sounds like Ver is guilty of laws he should have known about. Yikes.

Sad thing is so many folks just want to be “safe” and so more restrictions slide in without much of a fight.

I think Fiat Standard implies this. If I recall correctly, he points out that bitcoin can’t scale to normal daily transactions and that it’ll be banks, companies, and countries that do on-chain stuff (due to fees being too high for normal use) and layer two stuff will be for daily transactions.
Isn’t that just common sense, though, based on throughput limitations as of now?

2024-04-09 23:17:45 UTC

Finally went on a date with the wife. It’s been a while. As much as we love ‘em, it’s great to get some time away from the kids.

For some reason Sunday is my favorite day to practice guitar.

2024-03-29 11:15:22 UTC

I asked someone if they accepted bitcoin. “If it was ten years ago,” was the reply.
So, even if bitcoin’s value grows at a slower rate you’d rather have fiat that devalues?
Why is math so hard for people?

Any combination of words would result in a wallet. The fact that there are zero transactions shows that it’s not someone else’s wallet.

I’m reading a book on #Unschooling. I started the book very skeptical but am slowly thinking it might be worth trying. My only complaint so far is the name is misleading - might be better if the movement was called “how to get your kid to learn without fighting you”

Went on road trip and decided AirBnB is better than hotels (at least with a few kids). I love a house where kids can be noisy and I don’t have to worry about a noise complaint phone call. :)

Basically. I use Apple Watch with LTE and leave phone in basement on charger. I ditched iPads and really only use Watch and laptop. Just wish there was a GrapheneOS-based smart watch.

Check out Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport - it helped me out. Also, an Apple Watch with LTE is one option as a tiny screen means you can only do basic things.

Any suggestions on books to read about #unschooling? I’m not really sure how to make it work - I was homeschooled but still am pretty structured.

2023-07-18 22:24:32 UTC

I wonder if someone could make a plug-in for Twitter that would auto post to #Nostr? If the user is ever deplatformed they'd still have all of their content. Could be "sold" as a back-up solution to users that aren't as interested in Nostr, yet.

2023-07-18 22:18:22 UTC

Playing with #Amethyst. So far it's probably my favorite Nostr client. Only wish is to turn off the feeds that show shorts/videos - too much like TikTok to me.

2023-07-18 20:55:46 UTC

Finally connected Damus to zaps via Zapple Pay. It’s way more worthwhile to pay people for content vs hitting like - it’s like owning a car vs being a kid and expecting your parents to provide your ride. One gives you pride the other is just expectation.
