Remember reading dystopian science fiction novels with mega corporations that have state-like power and military force, waging wars against other mega corporarions over who has the most control and influence?

Mega corporarions controlling communication, transportation, finance, neural interfaces with the ultimate goal of controlling all of cyberspace and all of meatspace?

That's what I think of when I see "X".

Let’s do it 🙃

How to reply to a PoS shitcoiner:

PoS has been around for thousands of years, it's nothing new. Government money is proof of stake, as are company shares.

Egyptians, Romans, and Chinese were using this 2000+ years ago. Italian city states perfected it 800 years ago. Stake based systems are not new.

Using stake to solve the Byzantine General's Problem is also not new. Cypherpunks have been working on this shit since the late 80s.

The cypherpunks on the mailing list (that Satoshi sent the white paper to for peer review) are literally the people who created the *entire body cryptographic of work* used by proof of stake coins today (stake based byzantine fault tolerance). They are well aware of the fundamental limitations of stake based BFT because they are ones who came up with it in the first place...

If Bitcoin was proof of stake *you would never have heared of it* because it wouldn't have survived 5 minutes of peer review by any real cryptographers.

Time-based difficulty-adjusted PoW *is* the breakthrough and is the *only* reason you and anyone has ever heard of a "blockchain".

The failure modes of stake based BFT are well known, and it fails *every time* for a number of reasons, but if you are betting on a shitcoin to increase in value then the failure mode will probably involve the fact that stakeholders have an incentive to increase the supply to benefit from the cantillion effect.

Mathematical fact: you cannot deploy external capital to defend a system that is secured by internal history (stake). This is why stake based BFT does *not* secure against attack by a state or central bank, which means *anything* secured by PoS MUST comply with governments.

Bitcoin's value proposition is that Bitcoin let's you do things that bankers and governments *don't want you to do*. If bankers and governmensts can nuke your shitcoin, then you do what they say or they nuke it.

What's the value proposition beyond CBDCs if your shitcoin ultimately has to comply with governments and bankers?

You cannot out-stake a bad actor who has aquired sufficient stake to fuck with the system, your only option is to fork them out. Then it becomes a competition between charismatic personalities convincing the market to follow their authority (their fork) instead of the other guy.

So how do you solve the problem of removing a bad actor without requiring some form of authority? Read the Bitcoin white paper. Satoshi knew exactly how stake based systems fail, that's *exactly* why he used proof of work instead.

spacex sold all of its #Bitcoin

That is so strange. But it's a bug and will hunt it down.

Do you have any other Nostr accounts logged into Amethyst in this phone?

Or if you want to create a new account with the same lnaddress to receive, I can zap your new account to see if the notification shows up. In that way we know if it is an app/phone issue or if it is an account issue.

wicked candles today. stay safe out there

Yep. They are already the newest 400 zaps but sorted by amount now.

Do you see any zaps in your own profile?

See if the top bar's list is Global or just follows. That would filter your notifications.

But do you see the zap received in the notiication tab in the app?

The F-droid doesnt have Push Notifications because it doesnt like when we use Google to deliver the message.

I have no notification on graphene os, using the fdroid version 72.2

Do you mean Amethyst does show the Push Notification but they don't show in the app?

Do you mean Amethyst does show the Push Notification but they don't show in the app?

Humm.. so you are not seeing ANY zap notifications. Not a single one? 🤔
