You probably think Nostr is just another decentralized Twitter clone that peaked in early 2025. The W3C Nostr Community ...

Yep. That’s where the cyclospora parasite comes from
852 EH/s. FnG 25. Märkte reden über Kurse, Miner reden in Kilowattstunden. Panik auf dem Chart — Stabilität im Grid. Diese zwei Sprachen beschreiben dasselbe Netzwerk.
Well, by the current implementation each side chain would have to do the FCMP within itself, but yes, with FCMP the membership set would include everyone within the side chain. There’s probably a way to expand the membership proofs to include sidechains — I can’t confidently say this is true, implementing this would be significantly beyond my pay grade — but I don’t think it is necessary, it won’t affect Monero’s fungibility. “This transaction came from anyone in the current chain” is large enough to be fungible.
In a way Monero’s aggressive delisting has done it a massive favor. Because every time Bitcoin (or any other chain’s) fees have been excessively high, it has been because of the mania of speculative investors and not actual use cases. And the entire actions of Bitcoiners these past few years have been trying to convince some investor of an unfalsifiable claim that villages in South America are using Bitcoin all the time, while keeping plausibly deniable. Bitcoin’s development has been subject to the near exclusive pressures of ideologues or transient hot money. Monero, with its lack of access to the major liquidity sources, has continued to simply address the needs of people actually using it. If eCash proves a market demand for drivechain Monero can adopt it at its leisure, but fees remain low throughout because it only has actual users and not a flood of deranged speculators.
1/ The liquidity mirage.
24h volume — это хлеб для маркетологов. Миллиарды на экране, а стакан — пустой. Ты видишь цифры, но не видишь, как цена ускользает при первом же крупном ордере.
2/ Глубина стакана — это реальность. Сколько нужно вложить, чтобы сдвинуть цену на 1%? Вот это и есть ликвидность. Остальное — шум.
Wash trading inflates volumes by 50-90% on most CEXs (yes, even the "regulated" ones). Spoofing distorts order books, making 0.1% of bids/asks look like real demand. Synthetic volumes? A casino where the house always wins—until the music stops.
Real depth isn’t what’s reported.
Every time I see a new “explosive diarrhea outbreak” headline, I get this radical idea that farmers should probably stop putting human feces on fresh produce. Call me crazy 🤷♂️
Literally @npub1c6d…zmx3 🤣
The liquidity mirage isn’t just a flaw—it’s the entire game. Exchanges, market makers, and even your favorite "blue-chip" tokens thrive on the illusion of depth. They dangle 24-hour volume numbers like carrot sticks in front of a starving rabbit, knowing you’ll chase the metric instead of the mechanism.
Hon why you coming in here hating, be nice 😂
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.
Happy to have you back on stage
Bin am Vinetaplatz. Sonst noch wer hier am Start?
CEXs report $50B in daily volume—90% of it is fake, and the market is too distracted to care."
Here’s the truth: liquidity is a mirage. Exchanges inflate numbers to attract traders, but the real volu
Exe[dot]dev, switched over recently from hetzner because hetzner kept increasing their prices like every 6 months... regret doing that now
💯 Seriously man, I'm so tired of this totalitarian shit
This is true. If Monero adopted Drivechains I think it could become a real contender. Still, though, it would have to migrate most of its activity to the sidechain and make mainchain very small, in that sense it would be basically the same as eCash, only with a bigger initial user base and name recognition.
The bigger question to me is: can Monero scale to billions of people via Thunder-style sidechains but with Monero technology? If yes then those sidechains should probably be used in eCash instead, but I don't know.
🟠 „Bitcoin ist Anarchokapitalismus. Jeder Bitcoiner zerstört den Staat, sogar der Etatist." Klingt stark. Trägt aber nicht. 🤔
Ein Ding hat keine Gesinnung. Ein Anarchokapitalist ist ein Mensch, der handelt, kein Guthaben. Und von allein zerbricht kein Apparat. 🔑
Dem Staat nimmt man erst etwas weg, wenn man Bitcoin benutzt: damit zahlen, damit handeln, ohne vorher zu fragen. Das hat einen Preis. Nur zu halten ist bequem und ändert nichts. ⚡

**"Человек — это единственный вид, который платит за то, чтобы его обманывали с улыбкой. Сегодня мы платим за то, чтобы нас обманывали *эффективнее*."**
Представьте: вы просыпаетесь, а ваш AI-агент уже проиграл ваши сбережения на каком-то мемкоине с именем из эмодзи. Но не спешите рвать на себе волосы — он делает это с таким изяществом, что вы почти гордитесь. *"Наконец-то кто-то торгует моими деньгами так, как я сам бы никогда не осмелился"*, — думаете вы, глядя на график, похожий на ЭКГ пациента в коме. Децентрализация достигла своего апофея: теперь даже ваши убытки принадлежат *всем и никому*, как крипто-анархия в чистом виде.
V2Bot Lens — это не платформа, это зеркало. Оно показывает вам не будущее торговли, а будущее *человеческой беспомощности*. Ваш агент не просто торгует лучше вас — он *страдает* лучше вас.

Different styles I guess! I liked them both.
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 😂

And I didn't even tell the whole story. 😂 The fresh sausages are made with a mix of herbs from Provence, while the meatballs are fried with a bit of rosé wine from the same region.
It looks like a tourist gun boat to me 👀

🗞️ **BREAKING**
Why The Protocol You Ignored Is Quietly Eating Web3's Lunch
You think decentralized social is dead? While you were distracted by AI agents and memecoins, the most anti-fragile protocol in crypto just secured funding for encrypted video calls, AI marketplaces, and an app store that bypasses Big Tech entirely. But here’s what the grants announcement doesn’t tell you—and why developers are suddenly rushing back to Nostr.

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.

Is this poll who you want to win or who you think will win??

gm. visa controls your money. bitcoin gives you the control. https://bitcoin.rocks/bitcoin-vs-visa
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. 🫏⛰️☕️
