I see no sense in on-chain privacy if you were already KYCed by CEX and all sorts of commercial chain analysis can link it all

Kraken made it pretty easy to rotate deposit addresses, even showing you if they've been used before. For withdrawal this is trickier, and the travel rule made it even worse.

Silent Payments would fix it entirely for withdrawals; just verify it once and you're set.

But for deposits that doesn't help. Same issue with Lightning. Fundamentally the concept of a "from" address doesn't really work in Bitcoin.

I've designed a keyboard specifically for posting on nostr

BREAKING: Trump to impose 60% tarrif on Bitcoin mined outside the USA.

My router gets hit with SSH attempts.

It's hilarious.

That and also people seemingly trying to fudge /cgi-bin/luci :-)

The way #bitcoin syncs a terabyte of ledger on every node .. why can't a small operating system do the same - 4 gigs -- give or take ?

#askNostr

So that all computers are perpectually in sync ...

America killed all The Bad Guys in The Past, and people don't appreciate it.

We're not going to kill anymore Bad Guys for The World anymore.

See how well your Healthcare system will function when military spending will have to be 20% of your government budget because Spain, Italy, Germany, & Russia, are bombing Sweden, Poland, Uzbekistan, & France, etc.

Thank you, Mr. Bacon

Social media makes creativity more rewarding .. #zaps

but it makes creating something exponentially harder - cuz our attention span is like 2 minutes now - before we check new notification on #amethyst :-)

How mant apps on average send you notifications ?

#askNostr

- less than 5

- 5 to 10

- I have no control on my apps :-)

Love Linux on my MacBook. It's running my lightning node.

Ukraine has agreed to a 30-day ceasefire plan in exchange for the resumption of U.S. intelligence sharing with the country.

Of course, now the second part of the deal still needs to be negotiated with the Russians—literally.

Absolutely ... our language is still not mature enough to represent abstract ( non physical things) ... In fact we can use math to improve our ability to express abstract ... but that is beyond most humans ...

You are talking about representation of language in mathematical terms .. you expression is a proof that human laguage can be further compressed through mathematics ..

I am talking about a sitauation before math .. like before we invented a human language ... how would someone communicate the information that there was a lion in the bush .. they will literally need to go the bush ... and then act it out ... and most prolly get killed by the lion in the the process ..

So human language ( encodes) massive information .. that is exactly why we can get so much more done v/s other speccies who dont have such developed language ...

Math further refines our language ... to remove all anomolies of communication .. so that we can tell exactly what we mean when we say 2 + 2 is 4 ...

All computing languages depend heavily on math ... because without a number system (Binary or Hex) computers can't do anything

no .. that is like using English v/s French .. Base 64 takes around 33 % more space but it has other benefits such as human expressibility .. to some extent ..

The first order of compression is when we agree on the means of communication - English for example .. The next order of compression is solidifyig the language accuracy with Math ... both Binary and Base64 are mathematical expressions of human languages

Encoding is compression :-) .. What is the point of encoding if code doesn't carry more information that expressed otherwise ... for example when I use the word #tree .... you know what I mean ... but if there was no word to define tree .. it would be extremely expansive to express it .. someone will physically go to a tree to show what it means ..

I'm pretty sure the #nostr to #mastodon bridge is kaput. Over to Bluesky and X still works, but when is someone on nostr going to rebuild that bridge to Mastodon? Network effects are good. 🌁 #grownostr

Language is a compression algorithm for information... Math is same for language !
