I have this recurring dream that I'm at a university taking classes and I fail one of the prerequisite courses for graduation. The class is mostly take home assignments. You show up, get your assignment and leave. Occasionally you come in to take tests and that's it. For whatever reason, I forget to study for this class and repeatedly fail the tests because I have never opened the textbook. All other classes are great, I do really well in them, but this one class I just can't remember for the life of me that I'm even attending it. Only once in a blue moon I realize I'm also attending this one class and that there is a test today.

That's all there's to it. In my dream, I never go through the entire semester to find out if I failed to graduate. The dream just repeats every so often. Weirdest thing.

People are all up in arms over this Tucker-Putin interview.

I’m all for free journalism but I am also busy this week. For people who have seen it, is it worth spending two hours to watch it or does Tucker get cucked by Putin the whole time?

The COPA vs Craig Wright trial begins tomorrow.

Finally, after all these years, a UK judge will rule on whether or not Craig is Satoshi and whether or not he is a fraud.

Quite absurd that it’s taken this long to legally establish something so glaringly obvious.

Welcome to law.

For context re: Craig Wright and Calvin Ayre and why there should be no mercy.

My life changed completely on March 29th, 2019. Almost five years ago now.

I had made several tweets, warning people about Craig Wright, and making my opinion about him clear. A matter of very public interest.

I was sent a legal letter on twitter DM, where it was made clear that I either had to apologize and acknowledge Craig as Satoshi, or they would file a libel case against me in UK.

When I didn't comply, Craig and Calvin put a public $5000 bounty on my identity and then firmly doxxed me after finding out who I was.

They proceeded to put private intelligence surveillance on me, that have tried to gain access to my social circle, both online and physically. Presence in 100s of groups. Monitoring my house. Producing regular, detailed reports on all my activity. Travelled where I travelled and so on. And god knows what else. This is still going on today.

I have been continuosly smeared and lied about on social media and in Coingeek, the publication owned by Calvin.

Threatened directly/personally with bankruptcy and worse by Calvin and his followers on twitter, with my real name, on countless occasions.

Anonymous phone calls with indirect threats.

My dad was fighting against cancer when this all started. I was dealing with constant legal pressure and threats throughout his fight. When he finally died late 2020, the legal pressure was at a peak and my funding situation was uncertain.

I've had to give up tons of private communication in discovery, to prove I had not been behind "an organized and vicious campaign against Craig."

I've had to turn down professional opportunities, since a good percentage of my bandwidth has been continuously occupied with defending myself legally. The amount of legal letters, hearings, appeals, judgments etc are beyond belief.

I've lived since 2019, with the constant knowledge that my house and belongings are on the line, and Craig's stated goal of bankrupting his enemies would be reality if I lost.

All the while I've tried to, and largely managed, to shield my child and family as well as possible, but I know all of this has put stress on them as well.

No mercy for these people.

Only Welcome to Law.

MANY FUNDS ARE SCAMS SO I TRULY APPRECIATE THE SKEPTICISM PEOPLE HAVE OF TEN31.

WE WILL PROVE OURSELVES OVER TIME. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.

Absolutely. But I think that’s doable. And if new user loses password it’s not the end of the world. As long as they back up their keys as they grow

One area of confusion for new users is understanding what keys are. In user testing practically nobody could figure out what they mean.

One way I think we can make this concept less difficult is just by assigning old terminology next to the new terms.

Instead of just saying "Public key" we can say "Public key (acts as username) or "Public key / username"

Likewise: "Private key / password"

This allows for display names and keeps things on familiar terms although not technically accurate.

Then, as the user signs up, we can slowly introduce concepts to them and educate them on these things to explain how keys actually work.

We can also do a better job of explaining why the user did not need to enter an email or set their own password. For this, we can experiment with micro copy "No emails or passwords, just magic" or some variation that quickly gets to the point that the user will not have to specify either, and briefly explains why, with an option to learn more.

If you have other ideas / better ones, please let me know.

Without looking it up, do you know what the word “paunch” means?
