American Express called me today because they were concerned about a 5 figure payment I made to a law firm.

They asked me if everything went well with the services provided by the merchant and I was like "no, these fuckers are robbing me legally!"

The latest (final?) #CLN release candidate fixes a long-standing bug where we could forget UTXO spends when we restart. This explains a variety of bug reports we have seen and been unable to reproduce over the years: the most recurrent being gossipd telling peers about channels which are long closed.

We no longer make this mistake, but we also have to walk back and revisit old UTXOs. We do this while running, but for older nodes (like mine!) that can be a lot of blocks. In fact, and I only vaguely recall this, my node tracks back to block 500 (!) so it's going to take a while.

Of course we remember progress, so you can restart slike normal during this process. Other than higher CPU consumption you shouldn't notice anything.

Because that has nothing to do with it, so maybe you want to try bothering someone else with your mental illness

And people are free to choose whether to implement them or not whether you like their reasoning or not

The only things this proves is that you are unable to distinguish an opinion (me saying that they should have done this) from facts (they didnt do it for their own technological reasoning), but congrats on that one

Fortunately you disagreeing with things is not a qualifier for fake news but better lick next time

He literally is a sex offender oh my god lmao it is incredible to me how you continue to voluntarily put your intellectual disabilities on full public display 😂

That you tried to dunk on me for disagreeing with him when actually i dont? Are you retarded lmao?

Nice try moron

Honest questions.

What are your thoughts on the spending tools SW and Ashgaru have for postmix?

Is that why Wasabi users are so big on LN?

Basically just capitulating the reality of their inability to achieve onchain privacy?

No really, being genuine 🤣

Digital privacy is a moral imperative

In case anyone is wondering, the USG bailing out the Argentine Peso is exactly how your tax money ends up in the pockets of Billionaires.

I’m not saying they “should”. Bitcoin Core developers have no such obligation towards me or anyone else.

I hope they follow their own best judgement even in the face of populist mobs on social media or elsewhere, and set defaults accordingly.

But if they are willing to build and maintain configureable options, I’m generally not against that either. (Not even if these are somewhat or completely irrational, like in your example.)

Hah! Put money on weather core is a compromised dumpster fire, smoking shitcoin features, or not? What's the bet again?

What can we do about address reuse?

There are so many exchanges that give their users only one receive address ever. Even hardware wallet users often don't bother fetching their device to generate a new address ever. Sending to such addresses also makes the funds of the sender more trackable and ultimately bitcoin less fungible for all.

Convincing people to use Bitcoin is hard enough but then to bother them to change their address for each transaction is such a hard sell. 😢

If it’s this controversial, why didn’t core just leave option there for the ppl that wanna continue filtering?
