Remember everyone, commit as much financial fraud as you like so long as you give Uncle Sam their cut. In the Binance case, that's a mere four billion dollars.
Which is bullish news I guess, especially for BNB. They can pay a four billion dollar fine no problem.
One of the things which made Bitcoin different from traditional wire transfers was that the fee for the transfer isn't related to the amount moved.
It's only related to the amount of data needed to record the movement. Moving a hundred dollars can cost more than moving a billion if the billion is in one utxo and the hundred is in fifty of them.
But with lightning the fee is related to the amount of liquidity in the channels used for the transfer, so we're back to the fee being much more closely related to to the amount moved.

Heh. Sounds like he was getting the ChatBot to write his answers to board questions then.
Well that sucks.
Peertube is fairly easy to run, but I think taking it seriously means self-hosting it. All the free hosts are eventually going to go bust because hosting hours and hours of video from randoms that nobody ever will watch again is expensive.
Good luck.
I had lunch with my parents today. My mum asked me if I still had my bitcoins, because she was under the impression that the guy who invented bitcoin was in jail for fraud now.
I tried to explain that he just used bitcoin money for doing fraud just the same as most fraud continues to use dollars but I dunno if she got it.
She still didn't seem to believe that nobody knows who satoshi is. Someone must know, she reckons. Someone.
This week I stayed up till 5am on thursday night playing with the level-editor for VR shootng rhythm game Pistol Whip.
The game gets closer to the feeling of being in an action movie than any of the other VR shooters because of the way it's all synched to the music, making it more of a choreographed dance game really.
Careful chirography and matching music is how they get those movies looking so cool too.
So the level-design is mostly about track selection really. I went with Pendulum's "Slam", because it fucking slams.
Here's a video of me playing the level I built aroud it.

You can play my level in the Remix section of the game if you want.
Last time I looked that was all filled with unfinished trash and I thought I might be the best on in there, but actually there's loads of other cool work in there now too.
I got 7 downloads and one like that wasn't me over night so I'm planning to quit my career and start up as a dance-game level designer now.

nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m what happens when internet goes down. how can btc work. here in australia 10m people lost internet all day. asking for a friend. lol
Same thing that happens to Visa and Mastercard payments when the network is down.
You wait until it comes back up because you can't expect to send payments over wires that aren't connected with BTC or with USD.
Just write "Doing crimes" on it each time. See what happens.
Reddit, Twitter and Facebook all were founded on VC money, they all took on that debt from day zero.
They all used that money to build a moat, a way to lock out others from interacting with their setup.
Nostr has no debt, and no moat.
It may succeed or fail, but there shouldn't be a way for it to be bought, because nobody owns it to sell it.
Did you know, I do an occasional tarot-show on Peertube.
For example, this week, Suella #Braverman, the #UK home
secretary, has seen all the people who are forced to live out on the streets in #tents, so she has decided to fix the problem
by banning their tents.
So I did a five minute #tarot reading on that, and found the country was once actually very prosperous and generous,
until a bunch of drunken rapacious crooks took charge
and turned everything to death.
Take heart, that at least may soon change!
Watch it here:

I doubt I'd know whatever the answer is, but "on here" could mean a lot of things on here.
Don't think many relays would carry actual video, so presumably whatever client you are using has to upload to some kind of video host and then link to it.
One of the things that annoys me most about Brexit is that when the EU is proposing it's insane privacy-invasive security-sacrificing cryptography-breaking laws there's no MEP I can write to.
I can only write to my own MP.
And she can't do anything, and probably voted for the encryption-banning the UK did this month too. Even though she's in opposition.
Wankers, at all levels.
I despair.
I wonder which of the countries that we have right now is the most genocidal of all the states that there are? There's a few contenders, and of course it's normal for states to be genocidal. A non-genocidal state would be quite an achievement! But there's always a ranking.
Ain't nothing quite the same as a home-grown bitcoin, but unless you have nearly free energy you'll find it cheaper at the corner store.
Also depends how much you wanna buy. Gotta be tens of thousands of dollars to be worth the hardware outlay I'd think?
If you rent out your phone then you have a phone-rental business, and since there is no private property that phone-rental business isn't owned by shareholders, it's owned by the workers in common.
If you are the only person working at your phone-rental business then you get to own and control the business and the business's stock of rental-phones, but if you have co-workers you'll have to share ownership and control of the phone-rental business and it's inventory with them.
Can you feel it yet? It's nearly that time. I get so excited during the run-up.

Website for custom-product auto-fills the order on the checkout page with a 5% off code.
Meanwhile, in the header, it says "Use code SAVE10 for 10% off"
Can't use two codes at once, so delete the auto-5% and add the header-suggested 10%.
Their "Buy 100 get 100 free" option was pretty obvious, but the second option that appeared after adding the order to just change that to 200-free wasn't. Needed to notice the button appeared and click it for some reason. That one had a price on it, but the price was crossed out on a "sale" free I guess?
🤔 Strange way to do pricing. Get like 60% cheaper per unit for noticing things and knowing how to use websites.
Maybe it's designed to make me feel clever like I got a good deal.
