Last Notes
I am simultaneously angry at the unbelievably bad WiFi and Bluetooth, while loving the quality of the camera and the advanced features it has 😂
Everyone being like "oh it's a thinker"
I'm going to the movies to enjoy myself not figure out what the hells going on the whole time 😂
Thank you very much for thinking I'm knowledgeable. I just got into this stuff in March and mainly I am just privileged to have called together a good group of very smart folks who are actually the knowledgeable ones 😁
I honestly don't know much about reticulum aside from the hype that it could let us build an Internet without the Internet. That's a big part of why I try to pivot my guys in that direction. There's been several proof of concept projects showing things like Nostr events could be transmitted over LoRa via Meshtastic or Meshcore, but they're largely abandoned. But I think reticulum has better capacity for that type of bridge.
I think reticulum is where the cutting edge is now. Especially with Meshcore embroiled in drama.
But already it sounds like you know more about reticulum than me! 🤣 The main man at our regional mesh discord has started building out reticulum projects and I look forward to connecting with him and seeing what he's learned. I'll share when I do 🥰
Sweet, can you publish that?
It is the very thing that beats your heart
I guess I could offer the Inkan relay.
I originally set it up for testing, but if anyone would like to just use it just in a regular way and is a very well-mannered person, please feel free to request access at https://www.inkan.cc.
One neat feature is that the events you post automatically get OTS timestamps. You can retrieve these timestamps and keep them as proof of when you created your events.
It's free. What I get in return is a chance to practice running a relay, and to practice content moderation on you.
Yep. That’s where the cyclospora parasite comes from
Literally @npub1c6d…zmx3 🤣
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 🤷♂️
🟠 „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. ⚡

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.
Exe[dot]dev, switched over recently from hetzner because hetzner kept increasing their prices like every 6 months... regret doing that now

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 😂
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.
Exactly. Inception was lame. Tennet even worse 😂

It looks like a tourist gun boat to me 👀
PV and GM plebs! #plebchain #coffeechain
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?
