Selling bitcoin to subscription models is tough since it is push but cards are pull. However, what alternative do they propose? Will your gym let you pay by check in the mail? Do they really want to deal with that headache instead of just letting automation save them time? My guess is they are betting nobody will switch to their provided alternative.

I see your arguments convincing for why Christians might not celebrate a jewish passover ritual, but this was not what I was suggesting. The lord's supper was the passover explained, and it was taken on passover. We call it communion. Why would you avoid taking communion on the calendar day that it was first taken? Is it just to be extra careful that you don't don't blend with Judaism?
I know that you are vocally against dispensationalism, but it seems kind of dispensationalist of you to make the clear distinction between what was supposed to be practiced before Christ and after Christ. Isn't that the difference between what dispensationalists call the "Prophetic age" and the "Church age"?
Referencing WCF as an authoritative text is a reach. It was written by men. But thanks for all the other verses.

I think commmunion, at a minimum, should be celebrated at the time it was first taken, probably passover. Right?

2026-04-04 08:22:05 CEST

- reply

Did not Christ show us how to celebrate passover with the last supper? Why not just have a communion on passover? Christian congregations do not.

2026-04-04 08:20:07 CEST

Let's keep the festival, not change it to a different one. Communion on the day of passover seems fitting.

So are you going to celebrate that fulfilled prophecy in God's designated way or in some other invented way? Why not celebrate the feasts that point to the event? They are timeless and God said to keep them holy.

As far as I know, God did not suggest we should stop holding the high feast days as holy when the prophecy was fulfilled. If you have biblical evidence for why we should, please reference.

My expectations are that merchants won't know how to accept bitcoin when requested because the control to select it is not familiar to them. I also think some merchants will laugh and say "we don't take bitcoin" even though the app does.

You know what I hate more than paying a fee is going to a place that's proudly "cashless" that uses Square but didn't turn on bitcoin payments. It almost feels like they are making a political statement for no privacy.

Good points. I don't think a normie that doesn't have bitcoin has a reason to pay with bitcoin unless the place doesn't take cash and they forgot their card. CashApp to Square has no privacy.

2026-03-10 02:16:04 CET

- reply

There are VPS services that don't require identity and accept bitcoin. Their are agent APIs that don't require identity and accept bitcoin. How long would it take for an agent to figure out how to make enough bitcoin to sustain itself? Probably longer than its seed funds would sustain it. But the tech and infra is there.

2026-03-10 02:12:53 CET

- reply

Maybe lawyers would say AWS is the owning party, but AWS isn't going to buy it stuff or subsidize its bill, and AWS isn't going to accept bitcoin anyway. An autonomous agent wouldn't survive on a platform that doesn't accept bitcoin as payment.

You can currently buy a vps and agent API access without KYC or even human identity of any kind.

But it's not in any ptotocol. Bip32 paths are just wallet config. If you're tracking it, you can easily also track the script type for your wallet external to the purpose field. The needlessness is highlighted by the fact that you can generate any address you want regardless of the purpose field. You certainly can mix purpose fields in a multisig wallet and it doesn't matter. The script type is arbitrary.

MicroG provides you a layer of privacy because you don't need to log into a Google account to use some of the Play Services API and you can control what is used. I understand Google might still build profiles for fingerprinted devices even if you turn in MicroG features that call it, but is it more private than Graphene's supported method of just using a sandboxes GPS which requires a Google account?

2026-01-25 01:53:10 CET

I'm confused at why GrapheneOS doesn't offer microG as an alternative to their sandboxed GPS. I understand their reasoning, that spoofed keys don't let you verify apps or something, but it seems a valid tradeoff to trade some security for additional privacy if you trust your own verification methods.
