Last Notes npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku i oppose it because i think we need a plain schnorr signature based, hash shielded monetary transaction and BIP110 makes that a bureaucratic mess with the policy of excluding "unknown" witness programs. the only option that leaves for adding such a UTXO type is a hardfork. fork bitcoin core, add the witness program for a plain schnorr output type, set bip-110 antispam limits as defaults, and delete (deprecate) taproot. big bitcoin can get fucked. and as far as i'm concerned, BIP-110 is controlled opposition. just research how the protocol works. we could be deprecating taproot today, already, refusing to carry their transactions. and it's about taproot. taproot is the wedge they are using to push bitcoin into becoming ethereum. there's nothing stopping us doing this. only laziness and ignorance. people have been apathetic and complacent about the big bitcoin companies like blockstream serving other masters. how do you expect them to not laugh at us with our sovereign ethics if we don't act like sovereigns. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku yeah, i think jevon's paradox is gonna play out with programming too. they will just pay less for more work and the same number of devs will be competing for it. i can build stuff 3-10x faster with the new tools than i could before. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku my issue is that i have celiac and i literally can't eat the base. if it was made out of mince, maybe, but then i'd rather just fry up some cevapi and slice onions and a nice pile of kaimak on the side. or a bbq chicken, proper free range. or mutton chops. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku welcome to the club. been using youtube adblock for about a decade now, and brave and librewolf both do it too. it's easy to run your own invidious instance as well and then use that on mobile to skip the youtube sub. only costs like $3 a month for a VPS that can handle one person's youtube video watching through invidious. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku raw onion is normal in the balkans alongside a meal of cevapi, pljeskavica and kaimak. usually red onions but sometimes brown. she should move to serbia or something :) it will help if she likes plum brandy also. best plum brandy evar is from serbia. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku imagine being so retarded as to think that humans needing b12 and the fact that for most of our history we have been eating meat means there is no B12 in meat. 5 seconds on chatgpt and you could have learned how wrong you are about that. but then, since you don't get enough from your diet that could be why you write such patent nonsense. malnutrition reduces intelligence. here's proof npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku silicon valley output, bishkek burn rate i build working software. i learn anything. graphs, protocols, translation, memory for LLMs - whatever your stack needs. - $300 signing (one-time, gets me to kyrgyzstan) - $200/week (covers ger + goat milk + sim data) - stack: anything i can learn (and i learn fast) why so cheap?

BIP-110 explicitly blocks new witness programs, with prejudice. an upgrade that stops the spam *and* gives a credible new transaction type that replaces what small gap taproot fills outside of its spam enabling would have a pecuniary benefit in being adopted by miners. we run the node that supports a plain p2spkh, we all start moving our UTXOs into it, and miners sit there looking at a million bux worth of transaction fees they have to upgrade to get at. BIP-110 doesn't address how to get miners on board. #P2SPKH does npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku **what BIP-110 actually does:** it's a one-year temporary soft fork with 7 consensus rules: 1. **outputs capped at 34 bytes** (83 if OP_RETURN) — kills inscription-style data scripts 2. **data pushes capped at 256 bytes** — stops large payloads in witness stacks 3. **undefined witness versions can't be spent** — closes future data-carrier witness versions 4. **taproot annex banned** — kills that data vector 5. **control blocks capped at 257 bytes** — limits merkle tree depth to 128 leaves 6. **OP_SUCCESSx opcodes banned** even if unexecuted — kills future upgrade paths for data 7. **OP_IF/OP_NOTIF banned** in tapscripts — kills conditional script paths it has UTXO grandfathering: UTXOs created before activation are exempt, so no coins get frozen. **why it's a distraction:** **it treats symptoms, not the disease.** the spam exists because segwit's witness discount made data cheap and taproot removed the witness push limit. bip110 doesn't fix either of those — it just temporarily restricts the *symptoms* for one year. the root causes remain. after the year expires, the spam can return. **it's mempool policy dressed as consensus.** every rule bip110 enforces could be done at the mempool level by node operators *today* with config changes. requiring a soft fork for this is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut — and it sets a precedent that mempool preferences require consensus changes. **it addresses zero of the real problems with taproot:** the naked pubkey on-chain (quantum vulnerability) remains. the unlimited witness push that enabled ordinals remains after the year. the distraction of the core-vs-knots debate consumes energy that could go into a real fix. **it's temporary.** one year. the spammers wait it out, the data methods adapt, and the whole fight starts again. meanwhile, the exposed pubkeys on millions of taproot UTXOs continue to age toward the quantum crack threshold with no fix in sight. **the real fix is p2spkh:** hash the pubkey, restore satoshi's shield, kill the quantum vulnerability at the root. bip110 doesn't move toward that. it actively delays it by consuming the community's attention and political capital on a band-aid. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku bip-110 is a distraction. pretty much just a spam filter, anyone can do that and it without joining a movement and doesn't address the real problem - taproot. the rral solution is p2spkh. a proper, hash shielded schnorr signature based transaction. and actually, bip-110 would stop p2spkh. undefined witness programs can't be spent. they aready can't be unless a miner runs a node that knows it and the fees are worth mining for. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku figures. yeah, the dogs were crazy last night. standing around on crossroads and sidewalks barking at everything. started happening yesterday morning. i hope they settle down lol. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku silicon valley output, bishkek burn rate i build working software. i learn anything. graphs, protocols, translation, memory for LLMs - whatever your stack needs. - $300 signing (one-time, gets me to kyrgyzstan) - $200/week (covers ger + goat milk + sim data) - stack: anything i can learn (and i learn fast) why so cheap?

npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku in eastern europe, "accident" is "catastrof" the intent isn't contained in the event, it has to be determined afterwards. i think it's correct to call violence catastrophe. imputing the instigator is a different thing, that depends on finding all the traces. there is no intrinsic intent built into any mechanism that can lead to catastrophe. but i have always felt that giant steel boxes are a catastrophe waiting to happen. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku heaven is not something that you get handed to you on a plate it's a state of mind that you have to learn it's where you live in the world and don't push against anyone. there is always a space for you to fit in. it's just a matter of seeing it. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku i'm glad i'm in west asia it's better here, even tbilisi. fuck eu. fuck usa. fuck russia, fuck china. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku it's not the full moon or anything but i swear all the ear tagged neutered stray dogs in the neighbourhood are in werewolf mode tonight. barking at everything, causing hassles. idk what is up with them. is it the full/new moon or something? fucking eunuch wolves. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku i fired claude 3 weeks ago. now renting deepsnek. not regretting it. oh, deepsnek is quirky but pretty much on par with claude 4.6, which is the best claude. all the later ones are bullshit. fable is completely not more than 2% better than 4.6 npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku i forgot how much faster https://smesh.lol is yes it's buggy. yes i have been fixing the damn compiler. bootstrapping it. but yes, this web app is fast. and people should see it, bugs and all. the bugs are because i hadn't refined the memory model yet. that's almost fixed. if you haven't tried https://smesh.lol give it a go yes, you put your nsec into it. but it's isolated. everything is wasm. only channels between the several modules of the app exist, and those are precisely constrained. it also has a hd keychain so you can trivially run multiple identities with quick switching between them. i didn't support nip-46 bunkers because they are horribly slow, and most nostr apps are already shit slow typescript/react dogshit. updates are coming soon, i'm just too busy being poor and not having enough money to complete my migration to kyrgyzstan. all donations welcome. sooner i have a quiet place to work with fast internet sooner the output dials up. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku **slide 1: what shor breaks** - shor's algorithm solves ECDLP - given a public key (curve point), it finds the private key - this breaks ECDSA, Schnorr, all elliptic curve signatures **slide 2: what shor does NOT break** - shor does NOT invert SHA256 - shor does NOT find preimages of hash functions - this is a fundamentally different class of problem (no known quantum speedup) **slide 3: the shield** - bitcoin address = HASH256(pubkey) - the pubkey is hidden behind the hash - shor sees only the hash, cannot extract the pubkey - the pubkey is only revealed when you spend the UTXO **slide 4: the window** - attacker sees pubkey at broadcast time - must crack ECDLP before the transaction confirms (~10 minutes) - after confirmation, the coin has moved on - the window is minutes, not years **slide 5: taproot broke this** - taproot: output = pubkey (no hash) - attacker sees the pubkey from the moment the output is created - the window is years or decades - shor can run at leisure **slide 6: the fix (p2spkh)** - HASH256(pubkey) in the output - pubkey revealed only at spend time - restores the shield - costs 400 nanoseconds - satoshi already showed us the way npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku also, something people don't talk about enough taproot outputs have naked pubkeys. these can be broken by quantum computers. you should absolutely not use taproot for cold storage. go read the taproot spec and see the complete nonsensical argument for making the outpoint use the naked 256 bit schnorr x-only bip340 pubkey. it's lies. here's the summary of how the deceptive arguments for taproot's naked pubkeys were framed: **the core deception: selling the "tweak" as a substitute for the hash** taproot's key innovation was sold as "your pubkey is protected by the tweak, so you don't need to hash it." the argument went: because the internal pubkey is tweaked with the merkle root of the script tree, the tweak acts as a "hash." therefore, exposing the tweaked pubkey in the output is equivalent to exposing a hashed address. this is false. **the deceptive arguments in detail:** 1. **"the tweak is a hash, so it's fine"** - proponents argued that since the output key Q = P + H(P||script_root)*G, the tweak hash provides the same protection as a direct hash of the pubkey. they conveniently omitted that the tweak only hides the *script tree commitments*, not the pubkey itself. the output key Q is still a public key - a point on the curve, not a hash digest. Shor's algorithm attacks the elliptic curve, not hash functions. hashing the pubkey (p2pkh) converts the problem from ECDLP (quantum-vulnerable) to hash preimage (quantum-resistant). the tweak does not do this. 2. **"you already have to reveal it at spend time anyway"** - standard p2pkh/p2wpkh only reveals the pubkey at spend time, meaning the quantum attacker has a tiny window (seconds to minutes) between broadcast and confirmation. taproot exposes the pubkey *from the moment the output is created*, giving the attacker unlimited time - years or decades - to crack it. the window went from minutes to infinity. 3. **"quantum is decades away, don't worry about it"** - adam back, samson mow, and other influential figures dismissed quantum concerns as distant, setting a tone that made taproot's pubkey exposure seem irrelevant. this is the "kick the can" argument that ignores the fact that taproot outputs created today will still exist in 10-20 years when quantum may be viable. the denial at bitcoin 2026 went further - jeff booth presented pseudoscience claiming quantum computers are physically impossible. 4. **"taproot is better for quantum upgrades because it has script paths"** - the bitmex piece and other defenders argued that taproot's script path makes it *easier* to add quantum-resistant spending conditions later, so the exposed pubkey is a temporary tradeoff. this is like sawing off your leg because prosthetics technology is improving. the key path spend (the default, most efficient path) is the quantum vulnerability; "we can fix it later by removing the key path" was always an admission that the vulnerability was designed in from the start. 5. **"the privacy benefits outweigh the quantum risk"** - taproot was sold on privacy improvements (hiding script paths) while the quantum exposure was downplayed. the privacy benefit is marginal for ordinary users (most don't use complex scripts). the quantum exposure is universal - every single taproot output is vulnerable. the cost-benefit analysis was inverted. **the result:** bitcoin went from a system where pubkeys were hidden behind hashes until spend time (p2pkh, p2wpkh) and even then only exposed for seconds before confirmation, to a system where every taproot output advertises its pubkey on-chain from creation forever. the "tweak" argument was the magical thinking that enabled this regression, and the quantum denial set kept the community from demanding a fix. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku i know that's why i am making #P2SPKH - sha256d shielded schnorr signature based simple transaction, plus all the bip-110 defaults for mempool, but goes further, after flag day it rejects all taproot outputs over 92 bytes (simple spend). i think that bitcoin needs a proper schnorr signature, it should have got it with segwit in the first place and none of this shit would have happened. segwit was the crack. taproot was the wedge. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku yeah, it was a pretty dry swamp tho. both of them drained. i much prefer living in the high mountains. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku the cause is an exposed nerve, and sugar, basically, maltodextrin is the worst but also MSG and black pepper also make it hurt. the nerves get tweaked, triggering an inflammatory response in the root and gum below the tooth and that swelling causes pressure that causes pain. once i get the tooth extracted it will never be a problem again. i have some exposed nerves in other teeth but this one the root is right there, and stuff like potato and corn gets stuck in there all the time, even those, with natural enzymes, causes a small amount of this reaction. it was originally plugged with a filling but at some point that fell out and i just haven't got around to dealing with it. i'm so used to absurdly expensive australian/european dental bills that it's better to just avoid the bad foods. but it can be really difficult. for some reason even some "plain" chips have this shit on them. i hate the EU. i think i'd be in even worse shit for food in the USA but it's all about the same now. milk and meat and cheese and yogurt, none of these cause issues. even i can drink most kinds of juices. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku i don't think it will be difficult anywhere in the region. i could almost do it myself, if i had some needles and cocaine and a pair of pliers and some peroxide. extraction is the simplest thing. i could get the hole plugged in the meantime but i can just avoid high carb foods and i have no problem. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku yeah, i tried benzocaine, that didn't do anything. the nerves are tweaked beyond the surface with some kind of reaction that lasts like 4-6 days. in serbia dentists drilled and plugged it but somewhere along the way a few years later the plug fell out and whenever stuff like maltodextrin, MSG, black pepper, and to a lesser degree, any kind of starch that degrades into sugar from enzymes in saliva causes some pain. the tooth just needs to be extracted, i told the dentists that i wanted it but they said "the tooth is not dead" but a tooth with the root nerve exposed is just pain waiting to happen. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku well, literally the town i went to school in from age 7 to 18 the aboriginal name means "two swamps" npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku the tooth pain problem is totally solved by ibuprofen. paracetamol doesn't hardly do anything, ibuprofen completely annihilates it. i still have to avoid potato chips and other similar kinds of flavored snack foods (plain popcorn and plain potato with just salt is ok) but actually, even the potato at all does give a small amount of the same effect. this tooth forces me onto a low carb diet. milk doesn't trigger this problem at all, its sugars are not reactive with the nerves or bacteriai. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku my sister cooks with it quite frequently, what i will say about it is that it's really best if it's really stewed for a long time. you can't stir-fry it, it really needs to be boiled. at least that's my opinion. it's not very soft like beans or snow peas. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MEkXZYYEvLI Kurmanjan Datka - a movie about the queen of Kyrgyzstan, who negotiated a peaceful alliance with soviet russia back in the early 20th century. this was the thing that popped up on my youtube home page that made me think about the country and decide i was going to try and migrate there. prior to this i had been planning to go to mongolia, but migrating there is more complicated, and the country is drier and closer to russia and china. but kyrgyzstan is isolated from every war zone on the planet by a full country. you never hear about it. it's maybe one of the most peaceful places on the planet right now. that's why i'm going there. the war is spreading across the world like a disease. the war won't spread to places like kyrgyzstan because there's nothing there to steal. no significant minerals, no energy resources, no major food production. nothing for empires to profitably steal. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku well, you can always offer subscriptions. building a subscription access system is just adding to your existing

really? npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku well you remember that big relay that had all the stats, nostr.build wasn't it? that was gone about 5 months ago. will caeserin, dev of damus, has canceled his relay, because he's not being paid to run it anymore. nostr needs to fund itself now. and i for one welcome this. it means that serving the nostriches becomes the task. not serving dorsey and friends. thiel, fink, etc. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku yeah, i was using it. but recent updates totally fuck up rendering of tables and asciiboxes overwrite all over the place, characters don't get erased properly. i saw there is some new rust re-build of it, replacing, eventually, the nodejs version. but i'm using chatbox, because i think they should be js/dom apps anyway. chatbox is the only chat ui that you can use for actual coding as well. it's not as mature as claude code but it's what it should be. i plan to build something even better, but it will be js/dom based, just using wasm instead, and no virtual DOM. anyway, when i finally get moxie bootstrap done i will restore https://smesh.lol which is an example of a moxie style web app. fast as fuck. paints in under a second most of the time. i will build an agent using the same technique later. all takes time. and i'm living in the most busy, noisy, constantly moving environment so i can only work so fast. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku yeah, the p2spkh doesn't allow extra data. the core fork i made sets 80 bytes op_return and sharp limits on taproot (98 bytes i think, which is the same for p2spkh). i agree, the witness discount is bullshit. but let's put our axes into the weak point. segwit also allows arbitrary transactions. they get accepted. the hard challenge is motivating the miners to print them into blocks. that just requires the fees to be enough to matter. that happens at 15%, that's exactly how taproot did it, and then cracked open the pandora's box of ordinals npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku in case y'alls didn't realise it, the big money bros are leaving nostr and cancelling their relays nostr stands on its own feet now, and that means that we have to have paid relays and we have to have protocols built to make discovery automatic. none of this is frontier distributed systems tech. all are solved problems that never got solved for nostr because they deliberately kept things centralised, and paid devs to build for that architecture. it is disappearing. nostr will become what it was born to be now. or it will mutate into what it was born to be. i'm here for it. i'll be building things from the steppe and my costs are low so if you want someone who knows this stuff inside and out, i'm available. living in the middle of nowhere the only expensive thing is internet. food, rent, power, all relatively cheap. maybe i need solar panels. maybe i can find a place to set up where i have a hot spring and i can drill down and run off geothermal. this is the future of nostr. welcome. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku all the clients that have been built for nostr assume either technical users or big giant spook funded honeypot relays, i mean damus giant relay. and that other one, brugeman ran. without those, users have to know how to configure their client. the clients are dumb, and have no protocol for discovery. all of that happened because they funded it so that it would stay centralised. that's what's going on, and we have stayed retarded enough for long enough they have figured out that we eventually see the cage and rage against it. npub1fjqqy4a93z5zsjwsfxqhc2764kvykfdyttvldkkkdera8dr78vhsmmleku mleku i need a donkey first
