I run a lightning node. I have to validate the Bitcoin supply in order to make off-chain payments (⚡). Your monero node doesn't validate the supply because depending when and what version you run, it can't 🤷

If I don't validate the supply every block, how can my lightning node know the state of the channel graph to construct payment routes? How can I know to reject peers trying to make payments through channels published with non-existent utxos? The answer is I have to 😅 Bitcoin is a monetary network where all economic actors can independently validate supply and publish transactions

What on earth is this manually-validate business? You need pen and paper, idiot?

My monero node is validating the supply right now according to you.

All you can do is lob insults and emoji spam.

When you type in a command to your node to audit supply are you doing that work yourself? Or are you typing in a couple keys and hitting enter? What is essentially a blackbox to you is spitting out a number that you are assuming is correct. There could be 42 million bitcoin out there and you would have no clue, but because of an implementation error or bug it could be telling you otherwise.

Cannot tell if legitimately ignorant or being intellectually dishonest. Either way nothing I can do about it.

It's not a black box at all 😬

That's the whole point of Bitcoin, every thing is out in the open, the code behind the issuance, the schedule, even the math behind the hashing can be understood by a child

Your monero on the other hand? I love math, if you actually understood the crypto used in xmr, you should be getting math grants instead of shilling shit tokens 🤷 like seriously, world could use more mathematicians and less shit token salesman

Do you understand every line of code? or any code at all? Then it is a blackbox to you. You're trusting others. Impossible for any bugs to occur that no one foresaw? As we all know, bugs don't exist on software /s

"That's the whole point of Bitcoin, every thing is out in the open, the code behind the issuance, the schedule, even the math behind the hashing"

Everything said here applies to Monero. Are you endorsing Monero?

It'd be hard to build Bitcoin core without knowing every line of code 😅

Everyone should try, it's a good goal to have once you get curious enough about bitcoin 🧐
