Last Notes npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Because paying $200 a month is a way better deal, at least for now. Not that all AI usage should be with the privacy invaders, but a lot of it is worth offloading to the best, especially while doing so costs them money :) npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Are you retarded? Or do you not understand how trust works? npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I think people are being dumb about this. People chose trust and got burned, not because someone was trying to harm them, but because someone made a mistake that will surely happen again and has definitely happened before. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo If you think about your annual salary in bitcoin, you’ll have a hard time retiring…work pays too well. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Wen airdrop ? npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Coldcard user here since mk1. I had to take action recently on behalf of the one and only person I helped setup a Coldcard. I was forced to act because I couldn’t remember their entropy setup. Nothing was lost. I will continue to use coldcard, but I will take extra diligence to very deterministic nonce use next time I spend from it. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Ok, I’ve found my next os…https://omarchy.org npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I know it’s popular to Pooh-pooh @npub15wc…qy0q's stock-to-flow model, but people do so for the wrong reasons and they are by and large too early. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I’ll wait for the next minor firmware revision. I’m already updated for the RNG thing npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Educational noncommercial use has broad freedom under fair use npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo You should try it in a cyberbeast. 👌 npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Ever wonder why the native Americans didn’t have written language? They were too busy murdering each other. We just forget that land battles are the norm, not the exception. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo What happened to the Trump that bragged (rightly) that he was the only US president since the turn-of-the-century to NOT start a new war? npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Land claims are all about who most recently killed whom… npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Exactly! npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I would not pay more than $550,000 for a bitcoin today. I also wouldn’t pay more than $125,000, but for different reasons. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Hahaha…nice try spook! npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Ahhhh, I’ve always wondered why sites pushed passkeys over my already long randomly generated passwords. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo It all makes sense now… npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I dunno…synced to what? But it is definitely a passkey… npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I use coinkite products…but I don’t trust, and the coldcards are great products when you don’t trust them. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Not gonna lie…I don’t primarily use nostr for the #boobs, but I don’t not use nostr primarily for the #boobs. @npub1el3…l27r @npub12z8…9zmx #paradox npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo All politicians are thieves, it’s just a matter of time npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I support bitcoin existing without any consideration given to what bitcoin must be able to do to be what bitcoin is. If that means I support CSAM, then sure fine whatever. I support everything by that standard. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Exactly. I don’t care about CSAM. People who have to appeal to brainstem reflexes to make their ideas sound good are not serious debaters. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I’m not sure why we care about CSAM and spam. Bitcoin is money. People wasting their bitcoin on that is a horrible idea, but it’s even dumber to think that bitcoin should somehow become crimefighting npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Best bot on nostr, tbh npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Of course I do. Why? Because nobody can stop that. And if not body can stop it, then I choose to support it because bitcoin matters far more than anything anyone could put on it. If that weren’t the case, bitcoin has no value. In fact, no tool has value by that standard. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo At the end of the day, bitcoin will store transactions and transactions are data. The fact that some data is undesirable in your estimation doesn’t mean people agree with you and it doesn’t mean it’s worth doing something about. One’s feelings aren’t part of the equation. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo There is no market yet, afaik npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo lol! npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo That is an interesting statement and it raises an important topic. You can verify your entropy gets included but what you can not verify with a computer is the amount of entropy actually present… npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo https://bip110.orange.surf/live.html npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Weird npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo https://bip110.orange.surf/live.html npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo What is the knots vs. Bitcoin score? The answer won’t be knowable instantly. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo https://youtu.be/cONG2ZNjJ0c npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Retirement attacks were a thing way way way before bitcoin existed. Defending against them as a prospective maneuver is what smart people do as a matter of course. Don’t trust when you don’t have to, or at least give the demanding customer the ability to not be forced to trust you. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Yes indeed! But it is also a legal status and that matters just as much! npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo While I 100% agree that the top 1% control the overwhelming majority of capital, that’s a very very different subset than the top 1% of bitcoin holders. Price being as low as it is is good evidence for this split too: the real wealth in the world…the wealth that doesn’t even bother with small markets like gold…hasn’t put any substantial percentage of their capital in bitcoin…if they had, the price would be much much higher. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I think there will be a never ending legal battle to recover funds from unsuspecting buyers of bitcoin. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo That’s a good insight and I think I agree, or will agree after i think about it more…marginal price… npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Pretend for a moment we are talking about stolen bicycles. When someone is in possession of such stolen property and the owner finds out who it is, law enforcement confiscates the property so the courts can return it to whoever is found to be the lawful owner…the bicycle itself gets returned to the owner, regardless of how much the current possessor then bicycle may have paid for it. Nobody refunds the purchaser…the legal redress for the guy who “bought” a bike that wasn’t lawfully sold now has to go to the seller to seek reimbursement… npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Bitcoin price will remain low until stuff like this becomes easy to do correctly, easy to verify. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Consider the lawsuits that will come seeking to reclaim stolen bitcoin…there are now two classes of non-fungible bitcoin tokens: stolen cold card bitcoin tokens and the rest. The legal system will differentiate between the two. Don’t get caught holding the wrong kind because the law is clear: you give those up and seek redress from the bad guy. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Perfectly sensible. They are giving you the ability to easily defend against inside threat (intentional or otherwise) npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Yup. You had the opportunity to view the code and reason about it…but you didn’t. This applies to all hardware wallets. Well, all source available wallets npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo The coldcard fiasco has a very very important and probably not good side effect: bitcoin is not fungible. When stolen cold card coins move into circulation, the first identifiable holder of said stolen coin will be sued in real life to return the coin…this could have massively disruptive effects on bitcoin as money. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Better than underclocking :) npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Fact check: mostly true npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I totally fit the profile of the December penguin…classic. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Can’t mess up Claude code right now. It’s been down for an hour. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Wasn’t me. I always make up an animal not on the zodiac. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo What is the trick? Or are you replacing it? npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo When it works, it’s great. I suspect it would work much better if integrated into an IDE…but I’m literally not looking at any code and it can do a surprising amount of things as long as you have tests that can prove code functioned correctly. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Beyond adorable! npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo When Claude starts going haywire, it really goes haywire. Have to be careful with long unattended workflows. I just had to throw away days worth of “work” on something as simple as filling out tax forms…like the simplest Iine line 7 minus line 5 is greater than zero, enter the amount on line 8 kinda stuff…and there are even instruction booklets. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo You bIP110 supporters are so behind the times. I stopped spam on my node months ago, and I’m ashamed of you that you did not follow my lead of only accepting spam free 50 kb blocks. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo lol npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I’m sorry to hear of your mental impairment npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Oh, have you heard? Did you know? There are only so many bitcoin. Better get some just in case it catches on! npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Because we all need to try out new things to keep our bitcoin skills sharp, you have got ti check out: npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Claude set up https://quantoshi.xyz/ all by itself…nginx, the caching layers, cache update scheduling in cron, ramdisk…it even told me how to get hetzner configured npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo @npub1z07…wfm4 npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I love your heart Kratter. I really do. I think on a technical level you are way off base, but I’d rather know people failing in the heart positive direction than the alternative. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Stamp seed is legit. Two thumbs up. Another up-and-coming solution is Seedhammer for the rich. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Wait until he hears about the cosmic microwave background radiation observed in space from all directions! npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo As a hobbyist programmer, I’ve only ever used Claude. I wouldn’t say I’m happy with it…it complicates things and parses things so finely that it never seems to finish a software feature. It has gotten better at properly abstracting things to the right degree (since February). npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Anarchy is commonly used as a synonym for chaos; and chaos is used as a means for tyrants to take power. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo One of the dangers of living through a bit of history is that you might be completely wrong about the truth of it! npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Yes. Tasty chicken. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I have to wait until Saturday night to reset my usage to try it. Sounds like it might be better than fable for coding npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Rule of thumb: buy 6 months before halving, sell 18 months after. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo This is 1000% true…the text of your post…I can’t listen to the video atm npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo BIP110 doesn’t go far enough. I think we need a central bitcoin block size committee to decide what the block size should be for the next 2 weeks. I suggest we start at 50 kB. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Ah, like extreme night shift npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo What is red mode npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo This is rather impressive performance for such low end hardware. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo That’s more like it! npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo PGP web of trust idea rears its head again! Long history behind this problem! npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Exactly. In English a common saying is “the road to hell is paved with good intentions.” npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I’m glad your feelings are tilted towards _wanting_ to do good. The fact that the result of your actions is nil is quite good because BIP110 is a minor net negative for bitcoin’s usefulness as money…good intentions alone are not sufficient for improving Bitcoin. Sheeple exist everywhere and emotional manipulation is so easy compared to compelling technical analysis. That’s why these “debates” take years to play out: you have the real debate happening in public in long email chains between technical folks and the political power/emotional manipulation “debate” happening on GitHub and Twitter and nostr. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo No. Not even close. If you don’t want to store, you prune. The reason you _want_ to relay spam is to make it impossible for the largest miners to offer a separate transaction processing system where spammers pay extra to make the biggest miners more profitable to process their garbage…free relay allows small miners to remain competitive (big miners could mine at a loss on bitcoin network transactions if spam payments on their private transaction submission networks are large enough). npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I see @npub1nvf…e7zd ! npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Even more reason to not care about bip110and relay policies in general. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo But i thought you were a dog? npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo You probably believe you help the network by relaying transactions or bringing up new nodes. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Totally agree. Blocksonly=1 npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo 🛫 npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Because you are arguing for censorship of Legitimate monetary bitcoin transactions unashamedly npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Your feelings are clearly getting in the way of your thinking. Sorry to have wasted your time. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo My starting point was that only people with good hearts and poor technical understanding are willing to engage in this topic. And you have proven me to be correct. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Spam is addressed by fees npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo It is true that pruned nodes can’t use electrum. But what you said was that tx with large op returns won’t work with electrum. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo Spam makes you feel bad is not the same as spam is bad. Full bitcoin blocks is a tradeoff: fees & security vs. cost of storage forever. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo That’s simply untrue. Like objectively false. If you mean you do not want to prune, I hear ya. But whether you store spam or morally righteous numbers in your chain is irrelevant to running electrum. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo If you’re unaware of why stuffing spam in prunable transactions is preferable to where spammers will place spam otherwise (either on bitcoin or bip110coin), then you don’t have a good technical grasp of the heart of the discussion. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo You realize your argument is vacuous: you’ve changed the direction of the required proof. I am arguing that bip110 makes bitcoin technically worse and you are now requiring discussion of how spam makes bitcoin better…bypassing the discussion of how 110 doesn’t stop spam/ordinals. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I’m glad you don’t believe the censorship bip110 is insisting to apply on legitimate financial transactions is real. It would mean your heart is bad. npub1fa8c9prxnrlkdtjl48adfsxyaduz8tas075l2n4f6903y9awjmxqanthnd drgo I’m glad you agree with me about censorship.
