I used to love listening to @nprofile…qy52 , but have just honestly felt episodes for the past few years mostly ad-like for ten31 investments.
Most of what I learned of the cypherpunk part of bitcoin was literally through Odell, so thanks for that.
Especially Privacy wise etc.
Kept listening for a loong time, but lately have shifted to other sources of information.

I would argue bitcoin had value even before the pizza purchase, but it was priced in fiat terms after that event.
I would also argue it is a stronger store of value today than it was at the time of the pizza purchase. (More decentralized, bigger network, yadda yadda)
Clearly, it is a better medium of exchange today than it was back then.
But it was a "good enough store of value" and a "good enough medium of exchange" that the pizza event was both economically desirable and technically possible.
They go hand in hand 🤷

The chicken and egg problem is in your last sentence. If its not a good store of value to begin with, I wouldnt accept it as payment for my goods and services.
So it needs to bootstrap by doing a bit of both increasingly better over time. Not technically, but 'better over time' in terms of network effects.

A cool bitcoin wallet duress protection mechanism could be:
- hit password wrong once
- then hit right password
Which triggers duress mode that shows some believeable amount of bitcoin in the wallet or maybe just the actual amount.
But duress mode is set to send to only be able to send to a pre-defined address despite allowing the attacker to input their own address in the UI.

People on here talking about negative reinforcement is crazy to me. CRAZY! What the actual fuck makes you think a baby has the cognitive abilities to plan ahead next time - i.e. foresee that trying to turn around will lead to them getting spanked - and then cognitively make a decision to lie still in fear of such.
Lets say the do have that ability. Do you really want to solve YOUR problem by instilling fear in your baby?
To answer your post:
Is the baby just playing or do they not want to lie down and get upset when u lie them down? If so, could be ear infection??
If they're just energetic, I find it takes more energy from ME to become a better distraction than whatever they're after - i.e. sing a song, do something funny - jump up and down like a freaking clown OR just go through the thing annoyed and frustrated fighting their movements because I am out of better tools in that situation. Im not gonna spank my baby, you guys are fucking crazy...

Forgive my imprecise comment.
I know ronindojo the node software never stopped working, but the dojo connected to samourais coinjoin implementation did stop, due to samourais coordinator being closed down. Then came ashigaru with another coordinator or a different solution solving samourais central vulnerability, right?
And so its ashigarus reliability I meant to ask about. Not because its been unreliable, just because it was new and I've never tried it.
Let me know if there are gaps in my understanding I need to investigate.

Sounds dope.
Whats the specs of the rig you have the 3090s installed in? Which case should I look for if I decide to built something similar? Dual 3090s was my second choice before purchasing thr DGX spark.
Its crazy that you're running dual 3090s but still heavily reliant on cloud inference. I hope this changes during the coming year or two. I expect/hope your setup will be able to do much much more in a year than it does today as the exponential advancement of tech right now seems to be on the software side and not the hardware only.
Also.... if you're willing to share your monthly costs on cloud inference that would be very interesting, although completely understand if thats not something you want to broadcast.

Are those MoE models? Thats the only way I can make those tok/s make any sense with the experience Ive had.
I tried the 35b MoE and just didnt find it intelligent enough to substitute cloud models. I even tried the qwen 3.5 122b-a10b which activates 10b at a time, and still found it not strong enough. Speed was fine though.
Have now moved back to testing the dense 27b instead. Its not fast but not unusable.
I will be trying out the NVFP4 quantized model with Multi Token Prediction to see if that fares any better.
Should have prefaced with my setup. Im running a single DGX spark 128gb unified.

Here's my Agentic AI Journey
Brief background on who I am
- Zero computer science knowledge outside of excel (and formatting my dads desktop PC as a kid - using floppy disks)
- Studied Fiat Economics
- Discovered bitcoin in late 2016-2017 (toward the ending of my fiat economics indoctrination)
- Due to simultaneously jumping head-first into the rabbit-hole AND coming up on my final masters thesis semester - I had to wiggle my way into a Bitcoin related masters thesis subject
- This is where I discovered that computers think in binary - And discovered binary altogether 🤷
- So I crash-taught myself what binary is in order to kinda understand how cryptographic hash functions work - in order to kinda understand the concept behind the blockchain.
- Due to liking the computer science area, I quit my recently acquired job and started freelancing as a data analyst - specifically developing Microsoft Power BI solutions -> Which led to more engineering related tasks, resulting in a career in data engineering.
- That entire intro is to tell you that bitcoin changed the course of my life from fiat economics -> to freelance data engineering -> to now having an Agentic AI journey I wanna share with the world 🤷
SO! Back to AI
A friend reached out to me late one night asking "Hey, do you do agentic AI?" - To which I responded "Sure! whats up". Which wasn't a lie!!
I had installed claude code on my work laptop the week before and had used it to solve one task 😬
Next day, I ran openclaw on a laptop I had lying around, trying to fiddle with local models via Ollama. Higher end laptop but older. Decent CPU and 8GB vRAM. Massively specced for Power BI, Management Studio and Excel - But...
Not so much for Openclaw and Local LLMs - It just didn't work.
Way too small models required for that laptop, so it was basically useless. In hindsight, MAYBE llama.cpp would've been a better choice instead of ollama, but at that point in time I had no idea what that was.
Llama.cpp is an inference engine that is better suited at handling LLMs which need to be split between CPU and GPU.
Despite having had difficulties with the model itself, this first dip of the feet was enough to give me an intro into OpenClaw and the way its markdown files are set up. I now knew about :
- How the agent forms its identity
- That it has a soul
- That it wants information on me as a user and
- That it logs its memory into memory markdown files
This was massive and a lot of late nights were to follow.
This note turned into an #Introductions 🤷.

no its not man. We might disagree on whether bitcoin is money or not.
I say it its, you might say it sometimes is.
Lets be honest about disagreeing.
But under the assumption that bitcoin is money and only money except when spam finds its way through - then its not dangerous to say non-monetary data is unwanted.
On the other hand, it is dangerous to CHANGE a default setting in a major implementation of the protocol - to now signal to "spammers" that their spam is accepted on the blockchain.
If not STRICTLY necessary AND not widely accepted - dont merge changes.

I wanna use maple, but paying for a year upfront in a market where I have no idea where AI is in 3 months is a big ask.
Why not accept monthly payments, @nprofile…u4p9 ? Most paying AI users are probably paying 20 bucks a month for whatever model they're using.
Accepting monthly payments at Maple would remove a big entry barrier for that entire segment.
Right now, you're asking me to let go of better models AND pay a much higher amount upfront.

Yes, completely abandoning all faith in people who have otherwise showed integrity for a decade is problematic. Doing so seems immature to me. Obviously I could be wrong, but I'd rather be wrong and have had some faith in humanity than be right and lose anyway.
>> "not bitcoin driven"
I dont feel Odell has given us any reason to believe he is a bad actor.
In fact, him arguing from an emotional standpoint in latest RHR screams to me that he is shaken by the prospect of bitcoin failing as a result of this debacle - because he and his family rely on bitcoin.
>> "severity of problems bip110 tries to solve"
Ironically, Odells emotional response is kind of signalling a deep (subconcious) understanding of the severity of the problem that core30 introduced.
I.e. the attack vector that makes Odell fear the prospects of bip110. He just doesnt realize it and projects his anger towards luke and mechanic.
@npub1qny…95gx, honestly, lets just for arguments sake agree that luke and mechanic are attackers of bitcoin. WHO GAVE THEM THIS "CLEVER" ATTACK VECTOR.

>> "based on speculation of the worst possible outcome"
It's important to remember that this is the level at which changes to bitcoin should be thought through. I saw some snippets of the RHR episode and honestly yes, @npub1qny…95gx is extremely emotional in his critique. But that aside, most of his points are probably valid. Except the "miners switching after activation" argument.
I mean. Because in that case, there would be consensus to move over - despite the transactions that would be erased. I guess consensus is literally the argument to accept rolling back those txs.
However, the point that his adversarial thinking here is justified is contradictory to core30 crowd, and especially @npub17u5…t4tp argumentation.
In another node, lopp "prepares" us that Knots crowd might ingest the blockchain with child pornography to prove their point.
Well.... if an attack vector has been introduced to bitcoin, and you helped introduced that attack vector.... then you're probably to blame if that attack vector is actually utilized. You don't really get to decide what the motive of your opponent is if they decide to perform the attack.
This became a longer note than intended, but just a TLDR to end it with:
- Odell is thinking in adversarial terms regarding bip110 which is important and arguing that it wont fix spam anyway
- but not about core30 which from my understanding doesnt fix spam at all
- lopp is being a bitch about introducing an attack vector to bitcoin
- maybe nobody should've merged a change, however small, to bitcoin core, if that change was this controversial
