Last Notes
GN Fren and sleep 😴💤😴💤 well
I have committed to being an enigma. My opinion on everything is just a chuckle.
If I understand correctly, this is a solution for Damus’ lack of outbox. Is it useful for other clients too?
Certainly seems they are priming the pump for a pow change.
Claiming Monero relies on "altruism" reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of the protocol. Monero does not rely on charity. Rather, it economically incentivizes miners via Tail Emission (a continuous, perpetual reward of 0.6 XMR per block, in case you missed it). Ironically, it is Bitcoin that suffers from a fatal design flaw regarding altruism and long-term security. As Bitcoin's block subsidies halve toward zero, BTC will be forced to rely entirely on unpredictable transaction fees to sustain its multi-billion-dollar security budget. Monero actually solved Satoshi's fee-dependence dilemma by ensuring miners are algorithmically paid in perpetuity. Mining XMR is driven by economic rationalism, not goodwill. And saying "my individual hash power is too small to provide measurable security" is the textbook Voter's Paradox. Centralization occurs precisely when individuals surrender their agency to mega-corporations. Look at Bitcoin today: just two industrial pools (Foundry and Antpool) routinely control over 50% of the entire network's hash rate. That is an oligopoly. In contrast, Monero's CPU-friendly RandomX algorithm, combined with P2Pool (a decentralized sidechain for mining), allows thousands of individual, home-run CPUs to trustlessly aggregate their hash power. You aren't just "adding a tiny hash"; you are participating in an un-capturable, permissionless defense mesh that prevents pool-level censorship and cartel formation.
Also, calculating profitability strictly through the lens of electricity-to-fiat spot price is economically naive. When you mine Monero, you are acquiring pristine, un-linked, non-KYC, sovereign money directly into your self-custodial wallet. No exchange identity verification, no bank surveillance, no risk of frozen accounts, and no tainted UTXO history. In an era of total financial panopticon, generating un-monitored financial privacy at margin is a tangible, highly valuable financial yield.
And excuse my french but what the fuck?! Citing Qubic as a "nearly successful attack" or a failure of RandomX proves you haven't read Monero's code (src/cryptonote_core/blockchain.cpp) or understood how consensus actually executed during that event. Firstly, Monero consensus does not blindly adopt the first block it sees; it strictly follows the heaviest chain based on cumulative difficulty. Secondly, Qubic attempted an empty-block/orphaning strategy. Because they lacked true, sustained cumulative difficulty superiority over the honest global network, their malicious blocks were automatically flagged, isolated into orphan pools, and rejected by honest nodes across src/cryptonote_protocol. And what was the result? Qubic burned millions of dollars in electricity and hardware wear only to produce useless orphan blocks. Monero absorbed a heavily-funded, coordinated stress test with zero downtime, zero re-orgs, and zero protocol-level emergency rollbacks. But the irony is this: Qubic itself is an opaque, centralized scheme where a single founder (@c___f___b or lil-stupid called Sergei Ivancheglo) demands miners hand over their untraceable XMR under the completely un-auditable promise of "burning" Qubic -even changing the buyback rules from 100% to 50% on a whim.
All in all, Monero wasn't "defeated" or "exposed" by Qubic. It was battle-tested! RandomX proved that a decentralized network of CPUs can withstand a concentrated assault without surrendering the network to ASIC cartels or centralized mining farms. Next time you lecture Monero users on mining protocol security, please try reading blockchain.cpp instead of parroting surface-level FUD.

If lifting limits on datacarriersize was an attack it was one libbitcoin has been engaged in since op_return existed (as libbitcoin was around first and never had a cap).
Core 30 didn't touch Bitcoin. The protocol remains identical.
Ah Ha.Ha.

In 2009 I started mining #Bitcoin with a brand new Radeon HD4870. I barely knew what Bitcoin actually was and had absolutely no idea what it would become. I was just a teenager gamer with a high-end GPU, trying to make good use of it in spare time.
Then after a few months I questioned myself: am I getting something out of this or just wasting electricity? I made the math and realized "it was not profitable", the cost of mining was higher than the value of Bitcoin I was receiving. So I decided to stop mining to save my Dad a few bucks of electricity by the end of the month.
I mined total around 0.6 BTC, which at that time was maybe less than 100 USD. Also lost that wallet that is now worth thousands because I stored the keys in an inactive email. Had I kept on mining despite being not profitable, I would be a crypto millionaire today.
I learned my lesson. That's why I keep mining Monero even though on paper it is not profitable.
The world will make you think that every blessing has to be financial, so you underrate the gift of life, friends, health, and peace of mind.

I'm very excited by this follow 🤣🤷♀️
I like the @nprofile…w0fe one, but it's only funny if you've watched Star Trek 👀🖖. @nprofile…jjuf is probably my favorite though, as evidenced by my quote posing it so often 🤭

Thank you for the heads up! I'll try and spread it around!!
Call me crazy, but that doesn’t look safe to drive the family around in.
Just to state a fact.
Israel did it. They completed the long con (almost one generation) yesterday with a full coup.

It took the first people 5 years to question the official narrative.
1/3 still lives in lala land ignoring all evidence to the contrary. It's now in history books. Which should make you question the history books you read as a student.

Oh no, what Pandora’s box have I opened…
Holy shit!
The #WebApp I'm building with #Monero integration apparently runs quite well even in a smartwatch mini browser!
Incredible compatibility considering I put zero effort for this, apart from typing the web address on that small screen :D
Feels good to imagine if it ever goes live, people with all kind of devices will be able to use it. It will not be gatekeeped by corporations.
I think the timeline of the Reformation following the printing press is close to what digital fungable money following the invention of the internet will be. https://blossom.primal.net/d514ea4b9d78d4bb307496f2ef3a9ee3aa7ffe3d9522f73d879821907d5fe6bc.png
It’s DCA, but there’s nothing to say you can’t DCA even HARDER at the bottom and sprinkle in a few massive smash buys on red days whenever possible.
