In the current Bitcoin mining landscape with proxy lools like AntPool & friends, 6 mining pools produce and mine more than 95% of the block templates.
Bitcoin mining is highly centralized today.

Testing zap receipts for this note… we made six attempts to⚡zap this note, at 0xb10c@bitrefill.me, over a period of about 3 hours. Six of the zaps were successfully paid... Please check for 6 satoshis received. Problem: we found that your lightning address server **did not* properly produce zap receipts, and/or didn't send the zap receipts to the relays specified in the zap. (The zap spec requires that the zap receipts be sent to the relays specified in the zap.) This means a Nostr user who zaps you might not see a number appearing next to the ⚡ icon after zapping.... You might want to look into using a cloud-based Lightning node to get more reliable zaps.
should be fixed now
That's why #Monero #XMR
4 billion vs 2 trillion market cap. Have fun staying poor
Market cap means nothing to us. We value privacy over profits.
1 XMR = 1 XMR that's what matters
Bitcoin has coinjoin, lighting, minibits for cash-like privacy. It also has global adoption, deep liquidity, and actual use. Monero is private for sure... But so is a secret nobody gives a shit about
If Monero transactions are a secret nobody cares about, then what's the need for CoinJoin and Lightning?
Just use Monero, it’s no big deal. That’s the great thing. You have the choice 👌
BTC is incapable of provide a minimal level of privacy then they resort to bandaid solutions
I have output #21.
Tell me what are my inputs, and my other outputs.
Coinjoins are outdated privacy solutions in the age of sophisticated chain analysis and ZK tech.
Even Moneros ring signatures for sender privacy isn't cutting it anymore for edge cases (despite hiding amounts and receivers completely) which is why it is upgrading to full chain membership proofs.
It's funny you bring up market cap and liquidity when Lightning is a fraction the size of Monero. And ecash is a fraction of that fraction.
If your privacy model depends on a hard fork every year, thats not resilience, thats fragility. Bitcoins privacy evolves without risking chain splits every time it upgrades. Its a serious security risk and increases the attack surface.
Comparing monero base layer to Bitcoin layer 2s tools is disingenuous. Bitcoin builds on bedrock and monero is built on sand that needs constant patching
"Bitcoins privacy" has hardly evolved. The base layer is as transparent as it was the day it was created.
And comparing Bitcoins base layer security and attack surface to L2s is disingenuous. Especially with completely custodial systems like ecash.
hard forks arent "patches," they are network upgrades. software has to upgrade as the environment it operates in changes. monero updates in a clear direction and in an organized way, with community support.
also, bitcoins privacy hasn't upgraded at all. you're pretending there's improvement happening where there isn't.
it's true there are risks involved, but there are ALSO risks involved in doing nothing.
