Fuck Reddit.

Now they are locking my account on a weekly basis and forcing a password reset. The only reason I can come up with to explain this is they're discriminating against me for using VPNs.

Thanks for posting this.

Out of curiosity, what are the advantages of Mullvad self-hosting vs using ProtonMail?

I understand that you’re still outsourcing but if we consider ProtonMail as a private email service provider for individuals, is it ok for businesses to use it as well?

It might be easier to get businesses to switch providers than building and managing in-house.

I really respect your work but Mullvad's move is just PR move.

VPN market means big money.

Mullvad is insecure because of their location.

Sweden is becoming one of the most oppressive countries when it comes to privacy.

You must know that in Sweden Police can legally hack your IT infrastructure.

You should avoid any internet services which are under Swedish jurisdiction.

copied from my reply in this thread:

I don't understand enough about this topic to really elaborate.

I've used good practices - not consolidating, not using the doxic change, sent the post-mix tx straight into cold storage.

that site was recommended to verify that the deterministic links have been broken.

I'm just going to have to take the time one of these weekends to review all of the information about whirlpool and make sure I'm not missing something. I just hate to spend sats on enhanced privacy only to be unsure it's actually effective.

Old Plan: 💸

"no taxes on Roth IRA"

cede your responsibility

be an NPC

pay fees for 20x years

do bit better than inflation

retire

travel 2x a year

watch your dick get smaller

die

New Plan: 🚀

buy bitcoin

hold forever

use as collateral

(no taxes on the loan)

buy businesses

create value

pay back loan w/ biz income

still have bitcoin

now have businesses

now have business incomes

buy island

bang wife

give bitcoin to your kids

die

Whirlpool enthusiasts please enlighten me.

I have tried to coinjoin on several occasions and it never works.

The last time I remixed a tx 6 times, and was very careful, and when I checked it through kycp.org it showed 0 bits of entropy and a single interpretation.

Am I doing something wrong or what? I'm just about done with fucking around with this stuff.

Satoshi designed bitcoin so that he or anyone independently wouldn't mater.

Satoshi didn't want to be sanctified or worshipped, Satoshi didn't want to be known.

Satoshi faded away, respect his wishes.

I agree. I’m no expert but I see a future where people get started on lightning, liquid, fedi, eCash, etc. they start getting paid, paying others, etc. then, once they've built a sizable amount of saving, they'll make the move to protect those savings on the base layer.

In fiat, people can't save, so there's nothing left to protect. with bitcoin, everybody will, and the base layer will always be there for when they are ready to own their UTXOs.

Bitcoin is always there for us.

good default

great piece of advice i got awhile back from a century-old philosophy book:

"'Nothing is more provoking, when we are arguing against a man with reasons and explanations, and taking all pains to convince him, than to discover at last that he will not understand, that we have to do with his will.' [—Schopenhauer]

Hence the uselessness of logic: no one ever convinced anybody by logic; and even logicians use logic only as a source of income. To convince a man, you must appeal to his self-interest, his desires, his will."

—Will Durant, from The Story of Philosophy

As the fees go up, ppl realize that bitcoin base layer is only for wire-transfer-like economical transactions. Plebs will be priced out.

The bitcoin hardware wallet business is still going to grow for a few years, then only going to shrink

It will be a nice high security niche

Security is the # 1 feature, not losing your coins is the most important thing, grandma UX focus is high time preference distraction, global south base layer will be silly.

There is also a huge opportunity for bitcoin backed eCash affordable hardware as these are bearer tokens.

Stop designing for today.
