Last Notes
CBDCs can expire, blacklist, or rewrite balances. Bitcoin’s rules do not bend for anyone.

No worries. Sending them an email now. USDT has been on @npub1nyy…7gan for over 6 years and nobody even seems to know about it…

Appreciate that beejay, thank you. Heading to the shop tomorrow am fingers crossed for good news (price)
It’s an honor 🫡 Great service and product. I’ve been a customer for 3 years now. Tbh, I got some sats back on my cc purchase 😂 Easier to spend fiat, emotionally, which is why we offer stripe payments at @npub1xxd…kt7a as well 😉 🤝
pci compliance headaches in 3.. 2.. 1..
They have a plug-in for BTC Payserver but I think they aggregate with fixed float too.
Might be good to look into anyways.
But it’s ok if it takes a bit too.
It's like 20 feet in the air. I'm not getting on that ladder for a close range attack
So clean

Too bad I don't have a safe enough area to shoot that high of an angle. Otherwise I'd be https://idiotbox.blossom.band/d69371613c24f855a771a811caefeefe19fac44c05bc98af3d81bfccae7674c1.mp4
I tried to find an xmr processor but only fixedfloat supported it and they seem to suck badly at that. The only way is to have xmr node, and you know the story about that already 🫡🫂
Thank you! They seemed to be the most reliable ones, and we didn’t want to use fixedfloat due to their lack of good security record
OK, I’ll go bug them instead of you.
Based 😎
Topping off my account this week.
(Probably tonight more than likely).
Yes sir, you are the first! Thank you for testing and renewing!
This is the first time we’ve ever offered other payment methods, so a big deal for us. As much as we love Bitcoin, realistically most people can’t easily pay it, or don’t want to use their stack.
Mine's isolated to Tinfoil metal thank God
sorry
Moneros tail emission is *0.6* units per block
I am out of my depth here, but thanks for the correction. Will help me better understand a distinction I was oblivious to during block size war
We have transaction fees also? 🤨
There is a cost to block space. It's a necessary ingredient.
As long as there are people who want to *use it* there will be incentive to *mine it*.
That tail emission will have value (price) as long as there is demand for the network.
Tail emission is a fixed amount, 6 units per block.
so over time that becomes a smaller percentage of the total supply. The percent of inflation increase as time goes on approaches zero. Because the supply grows at 6 units every 2 minutes, but the amount of growth is always the same.
Gold has famously retained its purchasing power over millennia.
The rate of XMR increase is already LOWER than golds annual increase and as I just said, it only decreases from here.
If we look at the history of money, it is obviously *incorrect that a fixed supply is a prerequisite of good money.
In fact, no economist in history has ever suggested we should just cap the amount of monetary units. It is purely an invention of Bitcoin Maximalism, not good monetary policy.
It does exist, but probably not supported through whatever provider you’re using.
First! Was due for renewal anyways 😂

Doesn’t seem to have Liquid in there 🤷♂️
It would seem he's saying both the nodes and economy. I haven't known that account to provide bad info. Looking it up now it would seem you have a point, though I gather there's a difference between segwit-capable and signaling for the bip.
Let me check if that exists
finally taking bitcoin serious! being frugal and living life 🤫🤗
@nprofile…0csq it seems we have a solution for you too 🫡

I'm glad you were lazy for both of us 😂
LOL she's staring blank, I can relate

On the tiniest of branches. Above my goat pen. I swear it just appeared like overnight. I must've just missed it 🥲
Informative post from Farside Insights (formerly Bitmex Research) comparing 2017 to BIP-110:
BIP-148 definitely did have lobbyists working back channels. Many of those lobbyists and BIP-148 supporters back then, were on my side in 2026 fighting against BIP-110.
BIP-148 was fundamentally different to BIP-148 in many ways:
1. The overwhelming majority of the Bitcoin economy and nodes supported SegWit, close to over 95%. While BIP-148 itself never had such strong economic backing, the softfork it activated did.
2. BIP-148 was lucky to succeed. It succeeded in part because its opponents were absolutely desperate for a hardfork blocksize limit increase. They wanted a hardfork and fighting and defeating BIP-148 would not have given them the blocksize limit increase they craved. Also, the large blockers greatly overestimated the power of the smaller blockers by the summer of 2017. In the minds of the large blockers, they didn't have larger blocks not because of their own mistakes, but the manipulative and powerful cunning of the smaller blockers. Therefore, the large blockers were successfully tricked by the smaller blockers into being scared of BIP-148, something the large blockers could have defeated if they knew what they were doing.
3. The blocksize war isn't just about a grassroots user movement fighting the industry for the sake of it. SegWit was actually a good sustainable idea on a technical level. It increased capacity, fixed third party transaction malleability, fixed the quadratic scaling of sighash operations and fixed the problem of UTXOs being too relatively cheap. On the other hand BIP-110 was deeply technically flawed and ineffective at doing what it was claimed it could do. There is no point fighting "big bitcoin" politically with a fundamentally stupid idea. Being technically sound actually matters.
4. The story of the blocksize war is a lot more than BIP-148. It was big industry and big miners that wanted to change Bitcoin by changing the consensus rules. Ordinary users rose up and prevented that change in the rules. That is the victory, keeping the rules the same and not changing them. This time BIP-110 was the side advocating change. End users running nodes fighting big industry players is an important part of Bitcoin. But only when the industry wants to change the rules in a detrimental way, then you fight to keep the rules the same and win. That is what Bitcoin is about, the status quo rules must prevail in the event of a material dispute.
You had it all wrong. You were desperate to replicate 2017 for some reason, but the circumstances of a hostile attempt to change Bitcoin's rules never came up, so you just fought a senseless battle instead, which you lost.
And in 2017 the small blockers were the economic majority. The majority of traders and investors wanted to invest in the small block chain and sell the large block chain. This includes all kinds of investors, like funds and corporates. And people put their money where their mouth was. This time, that didn't happen at all, no exchanges supported BIP-110 because there was no demand from their clients, the traders and investors. Nobody wants to invest in that coin.
Rather than emulating the smaller blockers in the blocksize war, you are actually a pathetic shadow of the Bcashers. Except the Bcashers put their money where their mouth was, you guys didn't. Some of the Bcashers had useful skills for Bitcoin that will be missed, like pushing hard for merchant adoption, while I don't think the BIP-110ers contributed much. Finally, the Bcash vision had a lot more coherence than BIP-110. The idea of banning spam in the consensus rules and then waiting for the next spam scheme, and doing another consensus rule to ban that again and then to keep repeating that, is an incredibly poor strategy. Most Bcashers in 2017 would not have advocated for something as preposterous as that.
It's just stupid JPGs. Just grow the fuck up, ignore the stupid JPGs and try to make Bitcoin a better money!
Ate like a pig last night, not proud of it. Excited for an exhausting workout 🏋️ 🚀 today!

We decided not to judge how you want to pay us. If you want to hold your Bitcoin and get rid of the rest, be our guest.
* If not satisfied, you will be refunded in Bitcoin
* There are no automatic renews
Who wants to be the first person to buy an account with Fiat?

Well that's a problem https://idiotbox.blossom.band/77a7f956edc73cb3daef39267adc9d7fcee1df453a86203a09e391cbf5eb311f.jpg
lol, yummy!
Well, definitely no pressure, take care of you and your friends, and hit me up at a time that works for you. I'll nudge again in a little while if I don't hear back 😬
I'm a Bach over Beethoven kinda guy
Some extraterrestrial bugs which make the use of all electronic devices and the access to all stored data impossible so that all extreme political ideologies of the 20th century have a comeback (and all people with electronic implants have a really bad time).
No way, I was looking into getting a Camry. But, I am heading to the shop tomorrow to see if I can repair instead. The engine is still good
Bitcoin is autopoietic.
