If you can't spend 20 minutes to secure your life savings, savings you spent years of your life acquiring, what are you even doing. Don't trust any single piece of hardware. Go the full dice+paper way and verify every last bit you can. That's what "Don't trust. Verify!" means.
For daily/weekly/monthly spending money I agree with you. But that's not what people lost.

That's a loaded question. Just say what you think!
Though I would answer that many many more people generated strong seeds than self rugged with dice. Arguably fewer funds were lost that way than through cold cards.

Blame bad advice from your favorite influencers too. Everyone had the option to supply their own entropy, had they only known to.
Don't trust, verify! Remember?

But what would be the point? The miner wastes 500k on adding a bunch of, as you say, low value nodes to the network? What would they relay? Blocks with large op_returns?
Assuming BIP110 nodes are 10% of the network and the miner has added 10% to the total of relay nodes, the added nodes are basically doing what 90% of nodes were doing before. The added nodes would be even more pointless than the BIP110 nodes.
I would really like to understand your angle here and if this could be a threat to Bitcoin in some way.

What would the architecture of this even look like? 10k full nodes, so 10PB of HDDs? Or all pruned nodes? Maybe 10k front ends + one full or pruned backend? Are the 10k IPs individual VMs? Is faking 10k nodes actually as trivial and cheap to pull of as you say?

This is the way! Core is/was the "reference client". The implication was always that there should be many competing implementations of bitcoin.
Decenralize it so much that no entity could reasonably corrupt bitcoin through infiltration of dev teams.

This is interesting and depressing. I never see any arguments from you guys. Just namecalling and appeals to authority. (More namecalling this time)
I would expect there to be some attempts at debate to properly disprove the other side. Even just copy/paste if you have anything good. Why have you given up?

How about not creating companies and legal attack surfaces where government requires you to doxx yourself before you even start.
Rather start an ungovernable org with no legal ties and beware the inevitable saboteurs that 3 letter agencies will try to inject from the start.
The only thing I've really seen work so far is bisq though. Maybe that but with ecash?

If it's about countering FUD, just point at the quantum BIPs and say it's fixed. Don't waste more energy on countering FUD than the FUD costs to make.
If you really care about the quantum issue, demand a canary. If a QC cracks an 8bit private key, it's time to implement the BIPs. Proof of work, not proof of FUD.

Unless it's your favorite product, or something you are really interested in. Then it becomes less likely you will even recognize the aggressive marketing. Hell, you might even unwittingly become a marketer for it.

QC ist FUD to scam more research funding out of governments and low-IQ investors. There isn't even a PoC yet, only vast claims. Build a PoC that can crack an 8bit key, then let's talk. Until then GTFO.

Coole Folge, ich habe aber eine Anmerkung zur Patentgeschichte. Und ich kann euch nicht zappen! Primal error?
Wenn du nicht möchtest, dass jemand deine Idee patentiert, veröffentliche sie möglichst breit und öffentlich mit Zeitstempel. Als mittelloser Einzelner etwas Wertvolles zu erfinden, ist bereits eine Meisterleistung. Diese Erfindung dann ohne finanzielle Mittel zu patentieren und später zu verteidigen, ergibt jedoch wenig bis keinen Sinn.
Das Hauptproblem auf allen Ebenen: Anwaltskosten! Ein Patentanwalt kostet typischerweise 150–200 €/Stunde. Bis der Anwalt deine Idee verstanden und eine solide Patentschrift formuliert hat (notwendig für effektiven Schutz), vergehen je nach Komplexität der Idee 10–40 Stunden. Danach dauert es weitere 18 Monate bis zur Genehmigung, inklusive eventueller Rückfragen des Patentamtes, bei denen jedes Mal weitere Anwaltsstunden anfallen. Schon zu diesem Zeitpunkt ist der mittellose Erfinder finanziell am Limit – dabei beginnt der eigentliche Kampf erst jetzt.
Gerade wenn ein Patent als besonders wertvoll erkannt wird, wird es mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit verletzt. Große Firmen wissen genau, dass ein mittelloser Erfinder keine Chance hat, sein Patent gegen eine finanzstarke Rechtsabteilung zu verteidigen. Sie spekulieren darauf, dass der Erfinder unter der Androhung einer jahrelangen, ruinösen Anwaltsschlacht nachgibt. Welche Mittel hätte ein mittelloser Erfinder, um sich dagegen wehren zu können?
Als Erfinder hast du daher die Wahl: Willst du jahrelang deine wertvolle Zeit und Energie an Schmarotzer verschwenden, die keinen gesellschaftlichen Mehrwert schaffen, oder möchtest du wirklich etwas bewegen?
Wenn du dich für Letzteres entscheidest, mache deine Idee so öffentlich und sichtbar wie möglich. Lass die großen Firmen untereinander ihre teuren Anwaltsschlachten führen, während du deine Idee weiterentwickelst. Wenn deine Idee öffentlich bekannt ist, werden andere kreative, kleinere Erfinder deren Wert erkennen, darauf aufbauen und sie verbessern. Diese könnten sogar auf dich zukommen, um dein Fachwissen einzubeziehen und dich als Berater oder Mitentwickler am Gewinn beteiligen. So entsteht die realistische Chance, gemeinsam und ohne ruinöse Anwaltsschlachten erfolgreich zu werden und echten gesellschaftlichen Fortschritt zu erzielen.

My main point: We need a canary - an intentionally weak, 8-bit ECDSA - something that small (available) quantum computers can actually crack. Otherwise, quantum cryptographers will keep feeding us suckers the FUD we deserve. Give them a real target or shut them down. I've seen this grift from the inside for years.

2025-02-25 09:48:19 UTC

- reply

What nobody seems to bring up is the complete lack of a proof of concept attack on something easier to Crack. An 8bit DSA analogon cracked by a 48 logical Qbits machine could be a useful canary. PoW!
All the QC arguments I have heard over the years are fear based with minimal backup, because spooky quantum.

I shut down my lnd node last week. I had 11 channels with 16M capacity to large and small nodes. After dumping more than 100k sats into routing and rebalancing experiments (lnd + rtl + lndg) and still failing to route 75% of zaps and small payments, i gave up in utter disappointment.

The time for activism, speaking to politicians and appealing to central authority has passed. It's a waste of energy; that is better invested to help our friends and family defend against constant unrelenting attacks on our freedom. Every little bit actually helps improve our immediate environments.

I would be interested in hearing about your experience setting up lightning channels. I've been messing with setting up and managing channels for two weeks and have constant issues with failing payments. Finding routes seems almost impossible.
