Thanks for the feedback, thats actually really helpful. Will try to improve!

The solution to the knots debate (or whatever it's called) is that the both sides must realize that every Bitcoin transaction is spam.

PSA: we're aware that Signal is down for some people. This appears to be related to a major AWS outage. Stand by.

I’ve been using Signal for about ten years. In the beginning, it was just my wife and me. Then I added a few Android tech friends. Eventually, I convinced a few more friends to join, but most of them left after a while. Later, I got some family members to try it, though they barely used it.

Over time, I added more tech-savvy friends, then more local friends and family. Eventually, I started connecting with tons of online friends from Bitcoin Twitter and then Nostr. Even the friends and family who had left before came back. Now, Signal has become my main way of communicating with my family, several friend groups, and just about everyone except a few outlier RCS text chats.

My point is: it takes time for people to migrate from one app to another. It can take years before adoption really takes hold. Apps like White Noise and others will have the same journey. Keep using them. Don’t stop. You’re on the right path.

What point of sale technology is that / how do I get it??

Blixt POS?

How many conversations did it take for them to finally get setup? How often do you go there?

What city or town is it in?

That’s true, but there’s a difference between people using an exploit that is not natively supported vs using op_return which is a feature with the purpose to allow arbitrary data.

By increasing the op_return limit you are now signalling that relaying large blobs of continuous data is a feature supported by the network. In contrast, shoving split up chunks of data into the witness section where it is not designed to be is not an intended use of the network.

The argument is that: now relaying large continuous chunks of data is natively supported, any legal/regulatory plausible deniability is gone.

From a technical standpoint this change also makes it easier for bad actors / criminals as they don’t have to split their files into multiple chunks.

The fees are the filter argument does not address the mempool issue that this change to op_return brings.

Because core 30 nodes will accept and relay 100kb files by default, this allows for files to be sent across the p2p network without having to get this transaction mined.

Criminals / bad actors can exploit this by relaying illegal data to their buddy on the other side of the world, anonymously and for free because this is all happening at the mempool level.

Yes, eventually after a period of time of this transaction not being mined it will be dropped from the node’s mempool, but by this point that illegal file has already been relayed to other bad actors.

In short: the removal of op_return filters in core 30 software creates infrastructure for an extremely effective, anonymous and free data relay / sharing service that will be exploited by criminals with illegal files.

This is not me being a purist saying “this is immoral”. This is me saying “this introduces a legitimate attack vector that governments and the powers at be who want to see bitcoin fail WILL use”.

Get a girl who's a Bitcoiner and uses vim.

Nah, don't, that's a dude.

The theme of the post was basically don't fight back (within their system) which kind of requires we sacrifice anyone they target

Bitcoin really connects all of the best people.

won't be coming to #bh2025 but i hope everybody that does has a wonderful time in riga 💜

Bitcoin will hammer you into submission, until you realize that the correct answer is to stay humble and stack sats.

I have outperformed Bitcoin slightly (15%) trust me when I tell you it’s not worth it lol 😂

I had to take so much risk and expend even more energy just to barely do better than orange coin.

Would have been far more comfy to just keep hodling.

Don’t do it.

It sucks.

Honestly, if a person isn't, they'll know it and already know which components they need anyway. That's sort of a non-answer, but I meant to convey that I'm asking people with little to no medical training in case anyone wants a good place to start for intermediate trauma/medical preparedness.

If you know you'll be using advanced or surgical airways (and other higher level stuff), then this would be a boring build. It's going to be for my travel kit. My home or work kit would have these things in addition to other systems for more advanced care. I'm happy to share that stuff too, but it isn't all that useful for average people in every day life (meaning non-professionals).
