Oh, I checked the net and got it. So the issue is trivial to you and all else are words.

Okay. I'll not argue. As many heads, so many Gods. So many men, so many minds. May all beings in the world be happy.

Take care.

fuck

I fell for it again

Necessary but not sufficient imo

The question of how to design a trending feed in a way that is simultaneously

1) Interesting

2) Hard to game

3) Actually decentralized

leads down some deep rabbit holes

I do not know enough to have a conclusive opinion, at least yet, whether drivechain is a good or bad idea.

I will say this: I find the rationale shared by drivechain proponents to be... quite reasonable. Convincing to me, I'd say.

At the same time, I see many bitcoiners, including people I respect a lot and consider experts and leaders of the movement, being strongly against it.

I so much want Bitcoin to succeed.

My life's future and savings depend on it.

I want Bitcoin protocol and network to stay safe.

At the same time, I like things like privacy and scale ideas promised by drivechains.

I'm unsure I understand or can evaluate the risk or validity of key reasons against this BIP.

There is this miner incentive thing, perhaps the biggest one, hard to predict the impact.

And this risk that people will receive Bitcoin on drivechain and will find out this is not real on chain Bitcoin. I'm less worried about this.

Anything else?

I see a lot of people reacting negatively to it.

And, while, for sure it means something, I want to understand the rationale against it.

Well, that my current thinking about this.

In short, I need to learn more I guess, to form an opinion.

If you're mad at EFF for making it possible to use Chrome with less tracking instead of yelling at people to use a different browser, then I assume you have never heard of harm reduction. Giving people digital privacy and security advice means meeting people where they're at. Otherwise, you're just running your mouth to make yourself feel smart.

Don't run a lightning node to earn routing fees.

Run a lightning node to prevent getting rugged.

I am tired of talking about inflation and sound money.

The shitcoiners have better tooling.

🤣

We failed JStark. Dude had amazing opsec. German police figured out his identity due to him not understanding bitcoin privacy guarantees.

When it gets cold inside, reach for a shawl collar, not a hoodie.

I've discovered this site(?) quite at random by browsing the F-Droid store and finding its client Amethyst. Very curious to check it out
