Everyone keeps asking me and I have now taken the time out to research it. 😊

The main difference between #Cordn and #Concord is that Cordn is based upon MLS and therefore has a coordinator server and forward secrecy, while Concord is client-relay-client.
Concord is not as secret (if the key leaks, everyone can read everything from that epoch, and keys aren't associated with devices, so they're easy to share with people outside the group), but it's able to handle larger groups with less overhead, and you don't need to run a server. (You don't need to run one with Cordn, either, as you can use existing coordinators, but there are more relays than coordinators.)
Concord seems to be aiming more at the Discord market, and Cordn is aiming more at Signal. I am going to implement Cordn in my Imwald Android app once it's a bit more mature and just not bother ever implementing DMs (since 2 people in a Cordn room is effectively the same as a DM).

Ga nostriches, managed to get a bit of time out on the velo, not quite as hot as past weeks, but still bloody warm and managed to grab some wine to bring with me for my mother tomorrow so, all around, very productive.
Realised there was a pretty old photo that I could retake. Very rarely when out on the bike with Dug, but he used to absolutely love it, barking continuously at me (excited barks).
While I was without bike on this particular day, company made up for it!!!!

Why you mean it does not work this way. This completly depends on the training of the police in this case.
This security personel in the airplane decided to assume maliciance for something she did not understand. Seems quiet obvious, that this person would have needed to understand at least what happens in order to effect an emergancy landing.
And this behaviour decides everyone in the moment of an event, how fast to escalate and on what basis. Has nothing to do with the wealth of the person.
I assume this would also have happened, when this muslim had houndreds of million dollars.

I had the pleasure of a second unboxing of my Daylight Computer today 😁 The original one had a "chrystal leak" issue, where the screen would turn black pixel by pixel from one of the corners, like a spreading ink patch.
I got in touch with the @nprofile…r69k team and they immediately offered a return within the 1-year warranty. From my side, sending it back from Greece became a little ordeal. But it worked out eventually. And the team even reimbursed the extra expenses that came with it.
Now I'm holding a fresh new piece in my hands. I love the attention to detail, the intention, the texture. During the month it was gone I missed:
- reading e-books before sleep
- taking handwritten notes
- working in full sunlight
- a screen that doesn't subconsciously stress me out.
Big thanks to Daylight for that smooth process and guiding us into an era where tech becomes more "natural" 🙏🏼

GM. Just woke from a weird dream. There was a dead body found at a 'local' college. Not sure what college or what town I was in. Felt local to me, but wasn't where I live now.
I took pics of the body and interviewed a police officer at the scene. I was doing a write-up for the college, or at least I said I was... I wasn't being honest when I said it to the cop. Not sure why I wouldn't do that.
Dead guy's wallet was also found near the school pool, which was in a building near by, but still a few hundred yards from the body that was outside.
Officers name was clear in the dream. Even had a unique spelling. I'm having a hard time recalling now. 3 letter first name is all I can remember.
I took pics of the wallet as well.
Story was there was a note inside the wallet, but the wallet was closed and I wasn't supposed to open it. The note was apparantly something like a suicide note maybe, written like a ransom note with the letters cut from a magize or something. I never saw it.
There was an FBI guy on site who knew my name and phone number without me offering. I was connected personally to this guy somehow, maybe through family or something. I knew him, but was still surprised when I received a text from him that spelled out the officers name for me after I had asked him.
I asked because after the intervjew woth the police officer, I realized I hadn't written it down.
And there was this girl who spoon fed me some sort of ice cream or other desert. It was distracting me from my task and I eventually had to run to take the pics of the wallet before the pool area closed.
Woke up struggling to open the camera app to take pics of the wallet as they were telling me to leave.
is this the only one or are there more? would be interesting if this is before or after the only one i was aware of in which Saylor was not invited because he was awkward or something

1. Ukraine parliament confirms Koretskyi as prime minister
-- Lawmakers approved the former energy executive as prime minister Thursday after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy nominated him to replace the outgoing government chief.
-- The confirmation completes a leadership transition amid wartime pressure on Kyiv's energy system and puts an industry operator in charge of economic and reconstruction policy.
2. Genoa bridge-collapse trial ends with 32 convictions
-- An Italian court convicted 32 defendants over the 2018 Morandi Bridge collapse that killed 43 people, with the former motorway operator chief receiving a 12-year sentence.
-- The verdict establishes personal criminal liability at the top of a major infrastructure operator and may sharpen scrutiny of maintenance decisions across Europe's aging transport networks.
3. 23andMe agrees to $18 million genetics-data settlement
-- The genetic-testing company agreed to pay $18 million to resolve claims by 43 state attorneys general that it failed to protect customers' genetic data.
-- The multistate deal attaches a direct financial cost to weak privacy safeguards for uniquely sensitive biological records, increasing legal exposure for consumer DNA and health-data firms.
4. South Korea tightens access to leveraged ETFs
-- South Korea's financial regulator raised the minimum deposit required to trade leveraged exchange-traded funds after sharp swings in the products.
-- Higher entry requirements will curb retail access to amplified market exposure and could shift speculative flows toward unleveraged funds or offshore alternatives.
5. SEC proposes broader electronic delivery of investor disclosures
-- The Securities and Exchange Commission proposed Regulation E-Delivery, allowing issuers, broker-dealers and investment advisers wider use of electronic delivery to satisfy disclosure obligations.
-- Defaulting more communications to digital channels could reduce compliance and distribution costs, but the policy may leave investors without reliable online access at greater risk of missing time-sensitive disclosures.

What people don't know is the system understands how the mind works they've studied your mind. So, they will put things in the midst of our godly eyes. Positive keeps us at a state of healing and lifting things up, the negative starts introducing doubt and fear. And when were focused on the dip it dips and place it on all will work out and Bitcoin will sky rocket. And if goes deeper.

Over 108 days, the war in Iran has cost U.S. taxpayers an estimated $113.3 billion and counting.
That's $1.05 billion per day, more than the Small Business Administration gets in an entire year, burned every 24 hours.
In less time than a single baseball season, the government spent more than the combined annual budgets of NASA, the EPA, FEMA, and the Department of Justice.
More than every federal highway, bridge, and road project in America for a full year.
Every taxpayer's share: ~$691. A family of four: ~$1,360. For a war most Americans couldn't find on a map three months before it started.
And these are just the direct costs. Brown University's research on Iraq and Afghanistan shows that long-term costs like veteran care, equipment replacement, interest on the debt used to finance it, typically multiply the sticker price by 3-5x. The real tab for this 108-day war could land somewhere between $340 billion and $567 billion.
Afghanistan's first 100 days cost ~$31.5 billion. Iran's 108 days cost 3.6x that.
The money is always there for war. It's never there for anything else.

Here it is 😉
Let me start off by saying I’m not pro-BIP110, and I’m not anti-BIP110. If it actually succeeds as something that gains true consensus within the network and ends up being enforced by a majority of the network… cool. If so, then we’ll go with it because the network has spoken and accepted it, and all nodes, including non-BIP110 nodes, will be pulled along for the ride.
Unfortunately for proponents of the proposal, that simply isn’t currently the case by any measurable metric, nor does it appear to have a trajectory suggesting that will change, either.
There’s been a lot of misleading information about this whole thing, especially in the context of mining. Few quick key bullet points to briefly counter some hyperbole from proponents:
BIP110 is NOT inevitable. It CAN fail.
BIP110 can and will cause a chain split/fork in a minority hashrate situation.
BIP110 is NOT without risk to miners choosing to adopt it.
Miners not supporting BIP110 are not suddenly mining “invalid” blocks just because a proposal that isn’t yet adopted simply exists.
You’re not a bad person or evil simply because you don’t like or support BIP110.
(The fact that I feel the need to point out that last part is actually kind of sad…)
I was going to write a long post to help keep miners informed about things they need to remain aware of as this all plays out… before realizing I already did so months ago as a document I authored that I had hoped could be put out as a miner education piece at OCEAN. Sadly, it never got published. So I went ahead and updated it, and well, here it is:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/14DfMSVYBHTHIOmW32JTOR6BAP7AITbinvrhl8rJuvvc/edit?usp=sharing
Again, keep in mind this was written months ago, intended to be as agnostic as possible in an effort to make it acceptable as a corporate post. That effort failed, so I'm posting it as a personal document today instead.
As a miner making important decisions about your operations, you need to be aware of all of this without the sugarcoating and frankly outright misleading information coming from some of the BIP110 proponents. You must be vigilant, and decide what’s right for you. While there is certainly some misleading information from the opposition as well, nothing I’ve seen is nearly as egregious as the extremely premature claims of victory and accompanying hyperbole pushed by the BIP110 side.
Summarizing my doc a bit, my personal suggestion to miners is this:
Signal if you support BIP110
Do not signal if you don’t support BIP110 or don’t care
Either way, monitor the network on/around/before block 961632.
If you continue to see non-signaling blocks from major pools you can be reasonably certain they’re not going to suddenly decide later to throw away millions of dollars worth of revenue to backtrack and signal for BIP110.
If they do by some chance start to signal for BIP110, you should monitor that and consider switching as required to stay on the heaviest chain.
Key point being that realistically, only one side can win. It’s either BIP110 succeeds and miners not on the BIP110 side fail, or BIP110 fails and miners on the non-BIP110 side succeed.
Moving on, let’s dive into some small fraction of my rationale.
🟠QUICK FACT: Between 7 and 15% of Bitcoin Nodes are signaling support for BIP110.
Depending on which centralized crawler you look at… no way to know for sure. My personal private crawler puts this number much lower, but that’s a discussion for another day. Suffice it to say, I think it’s logical and correct to say that even 15% is not a majority.
“But Jason! UASF got Segwit activated with fewer nodes!”
Yep, because many miners, merchants, users, etc all actually wanted Segwit. There was tremendous economic and community weight behind it. Without rehashing that whole thing (plenty of resources on the topic from before BIP110 that are worth a read), suffice it to say that BIP110 and Segwit activations are not quite comparable, as many have already pointed out. Segwit, for example, went into its UASF territory with around 1/3rd of the network hashrate already signaling support. With that kind of backing, the UASF to help push the MASF over the tipping point made a lot of sense.
It doesn't make sense here for BIP110.
🟠QUICK FACT: 0.6% of blocks over the past 60 days have signaled support for BIP110.
Pretty stark contrast to even Segwit’s low baseline support. Yes, I know it's increased slightly in the past couple of weeks, but no new entrants. Just more clearly rented hashrate from one of the same small proponants.
Something to keep in mind is that mining BIP110 signaling blocks via DATUM on OCEAN carries virtually no risk to the miner up until the fork point at block 961632. The cost is negligible, as you're effectively guaranteed to recoup rental costs, etc.
It's awesome that the ability to do so exists, and I wouldn't have it any other way... but just something to keep in mind when weighing signaling from such blocks in the grand scheme of things from a risk/reward/money-on-the-table perspective.
“But Jason! Miners have no incentive to signal until the last minute!”
I also see no evidence to suggest that this could be the case. Subjectively, I disagree with the premise, as it’s not in a mining pool’s best interest to destabilize the network in such a way. Part of the reason for early signaling and lock-in periods is to help coordinate upgrades in a smooth fashion. Waiting until the last minute negates that benefit entirely. I see no compelling rationale or upside to doing so.
Continuing on this, as part of my personal node monitoring setup, I specifically monitor nodes known to belong to various entities, such as other mining pools, exchanges, large lightning nodes, merchants, etc. A supermajority of which are monitored with explicit permission and confirmation/coordination.
🟠QUICK FACT: All major mining pools I monitor are currently running some variant of Bitcoin Core v30 or v31 (except OCEAN).
Expanding on that, most have updated their nodes since the proliferation of BIP110’s release, even since the release of Knots 29.3. Additionally, it is known that many mining pools run modified versions of their node software to facilitate various requirements of their specific infrastructure. Such changes would need to be ported to a BIP110 compatible client, tested, evaluated, and deployed ahead of time. I currently see no evidence that this is the case currently.
As far as I can tell, the pools are aware but ignoring.
“But Jason! Miners don’t determine consensus! Nodes do! Otherwise they’ll just cancel halvings!”
This is one of the funniest and most ridiculous arguments I’ve heard from the pro-BIP110 crowd. Comparing a consensus change that can be unilaterally enforced upon the network by miners and accepted by 100% of existing nodes (a soft fork), with a hard fork which no existing node will accept… is disingenuous at best.
Tightening rules (like BIP110): Soft fork, can be enforced by miners if they choose to do so. Loosening rules (like canceling a halving): Hard fork, can not be enforced by miners without effectively 100% buy-in from the entire network……. Which isn’t likely to happen.
Comparing the two is, bluntly, just stupid.
“But Jason! If you don’t upgrade to the latest consensus rules, you’re insecure! You’ll lose funds! You’ll mine invalid blocks! You’ll [insert additional hyperbole here]!”
This would be true of a consensus change that has, well, consensus. While BIP110 has made a valiant effort to gain that consensus, it has yet to have any measurable majority at what is now arguably the 11th hour. Not in nodes, not in hashrate, not in the social layers (consensus.health has a cool visual there where you'll find me in the middle).
If somehow BIP110 gains 51%+ of the network hashrate on/before block 961632… then, alright. It’s enforced, since as a soft fork a majority of miners can unilaterally enforce it in the absence of a fully adopted URSF (effectively a misnomer, as this would kind of be a hard fork).
“But Jason! It can’t gain consensus by already having consensus! You have to give it a chance!”
Firstly… no I don’t, even though I have. Second, it’s a rushed proposal that never had the time to even try and gain real consensus. It’s been 7 months since the release of the first BIP110 client. There’s ~3 weeks to go before “mandatory” signaling starts as of now (less by the time you read this). 90% of the time available has passed with no change in overall sentiment from any relevant players. If it hasn’t gained sufficient adoption in the past 7 months, it’s not likely to do so in the next 3 weeks.
"But Jason! CSAM! CSAM! Pedophiles! CSAM!"
I'll be the first to say, even I personally overstated the risk here early on when Core proposed its OP_RETURN change. I personally expected something particularly egregious to hit the chain almost immediately, and to the best of my knowledge that's not yet happened. Could it still happen? Yeah, I suppose.
But considering from a technical perspective, byte-for-byte the same contiguous arbitrary data can provably end up stored in the current chain or the BIP-110 chain without much issue... this particular argument for BIP-110 falls pretty flat to me at this point.
Do I want CSAM in the chain? Of course not. Am I a pedophile if I don't support BIP110? Also not.
...
I could continue to go on and on and on, but I'll stop here. I've wasted enough time on this. I'm sure I've done plenty to annoy both sides of the BIP110 debate at this point, as I don't adopt either stance. I'm sure I'll catch flack from all angles simply for daring to speak my mind on it.
Overall, I mostly think it was silly to approach addressing a real problem (the OP_RETURN default change in Bitcoin Core) with the maximum anti-spam manifesto based soft fork proposal... which provably cannot stop spam, arbitrary data, etc. 🤦♂️ (Yes, I know, proponents will claim it's not about spam... and will also make semantic arguments that it does stop data as well... neither of which appears to be correct.)
I'll close with the concession that I could be wrong. I'm not Nostradamus, and I can't accurately predict the outcome with 100% certainty. I can only go by what the data tells me, and so I give BIP110's success less than a 5% chance of actually succeeding... and I consider that generous.
You can take my opinions on this however you wish, but I highly recommend you don't discount the actual data points, remain vigilant, and do what's best for you and your mining revenue. Don't be gaslit by either side of the debate, and make your own decisions.
