Last Notes
Hon why you coming in here hating, be nice 😂
Happy to have you back on stage
If you read about some of the stars we know of, many are so bizarre and wild that it’s hard to imagine them. Then you look at our own solar system and realize you barely know anything about it. Diamond rain on Neptune? Huh?
The bizarreness of some of these things seems to indicate at least to me that the universe might be procedural.
💯 Seriously man, I'm so tired of this totalitarian shit
Exe[dot]dev, switched over recently from hetzner because hetzner kept increasing their prices like every 6 months... regret doing that now

Philosophy is cool and all, but if the hashrate falls to very low values in the future, we're going to have to be pragmatic about the security budget
I love the idea of Ark as a 'Channel Factory', allowing billions to have fully sovereign Lightning nodes. However, if Ark is *too* efficient in this case, then a typical block might have only one transaction!
(By the way, that's partly why I'm currently against CTV; I want Ark, but I don't want it to be *too* scalable; I want many medium-sized Arks, not one mega-Ark)
On balance, I think it'll all be fine and there won't be a problem with the security budget. But there could be a problem, and that problem could eventually be fatal. So I like to think about it
The article discusses Runes, but I think it dismisses them too quickly. The Lightning network could be extended to fully support Runes (no soft fork required), and it's possible (but admittedly, very unlikely) that one of the Runes becomes very valuable. As many Runes 'currencies' have tail emissions, it's possible that they could provide the right incentives to miners
Anyway, there's always 'demurrage', a soft fork to apply a tax on old UTXOs, which would motivate people to move their coins more often and create. The rule could be that, when spending a UTXO older than X years, at least Y% of the outputs must be anyone-can-spend outputs that are locked to a few years in the future. Such outputs are equivalent to the block subsidy in practice
Sensible or crazy punts? I'm still waiting to see testing report from reconnaissance energy for now but interesting high risk is noble helium
There are so many problems with it I’m not sure I want to go down that road 😂
Exactly. Inception was lame. Tennet even worse 😂
PV and GM plebs! #plebchain #coffeechain
And the sky…is a hazy shade of summer.
It's truly amazing how many people will show up on social media to tell you taking a moment to focus your own mental health and personal growth is a bad idea, not worth it, and they couldn't be bothered.

I wish it got more frequent updates.
GM ☀️ PV 🖖
I can’t even begin to describe how much I needed this today.
Get yourself some from @npub1cxt…d5cj. He’s like Nostr’s very own Juan Valdez. 🫏⛰️☕️

I wasn’t aware Podverse connects with Nostr. I only see an email login.

I looked at the site overall. I can't really comment on the hardware tooling since I don't know much about that topic, but the amount of detail that's included plus the effort to not over-promise make it seem conscientious and to some extent trustworthy. I guess "trustworthy" may not be the best word because there's an emphasis on auditability, verification, and disclosure, so in a way you're not asking for people's trust, which seems like the right posture.
The combination of secure boot + source code for the firmware + reproducible builds is maybe enough to make the device auditable, at least to the extent to which that's possible at all? Not an expert, but I guess the residual trust is that these things are actually implemented correctly and as promised at the hardware level?
One thing that wasn't completely clear to me from a quick look is what *types* of things can be signed by the device. It seems like it's "Bitcoin transactions" and "Nostr events", and I guess any type of event? Can anything else be signed?

Awesome! Congrats to you and the team 🍊
I knew I shouldn’t have asked.
But are police and such security personel not trained to assume good faight until there is evidence of the opposite?
Heil the freedom of religion. Why would not somebody go to the man and ask what the sound is for?
I mean 4 years cycles and shit. This time is (probably not) different? Also last two cycles top to bottom was both around 364 days. Early October Lfg! 🎉🥳

Wages are elastic, tho. Inflation mostly hurts people on fixed incomes and those people don't buy Bitcoin
whoa cool yes. where is it?
I'm interested in technologies that keep the signer key safe and make signing convenient. I haven't focused on that part, but it's complementary to Inkan.
Let me take a look at what you build. If you have a favorite description of it somewhere, feel free to point me to it.
I think this is all really important to the advancement of the protocol.
It would be nice to die in a brutal car accident.

Because they dare question the state.
They Feds like Bitcoin because it’s completely traceable but if Bitcoin implemented privacy features like Z-cash, and Monero, the state would change the rhetoric pretty quickly.
