People talk about #Bitcoin ossification.

How would that actually work?

Is it just in people's brains that it's not allowed to change?

Or do all opcodes get assigned to something?

Or do we just say it's ossified based on an observation that it's too hard to change?

I the title says Bitcoin but the article describes shitcoin.

"it’s a Web-3 nation: businesses unfettered from regulation, a skeleton state providing only basic protections, and “citizens” issued with voting credits based on the amount of voluntary tax paid"

My dog eats mosquitoes.

Turns out all my sats are rare.

There should be a zap poll mode that is a bet where winners of the poll receive the payments of the poll losers. Is that possible? Is some kind of escrow possible? It would make polls get better quality data.

Oops. My link to the word list should be

https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt

List starts at 1 instead of 0 so add a 1 to each of the 11 bit numbers before looking in the list.

What I did,

was flip coins. Do 11 at a time. Each 11 coins gives you 11 bits heads =1, tails=0. Convert from binary to decimal with a dumb offline calculator. Use each 11 bit number to lookup the bip39 word.

Print out this list. https://iancoleman.io/bip39/

So you can get 23 of the words that way. You have 3 extra coin flips which get used for the 24th word.

But you need a checksum word 24. It's those 3 bits plus a 4bit checksum. With a seed signer you can do it. I think some other wallets have a 24th word calculator. There is a page you can save offline to do it but I wouldn't run it on any Internet connected device or a device that ever will go online. Maybe a offline computer that has its disk wiped/destroyed after.

So then enter your words into any hardware wallet and get the private key. The wallet should also verify the checksum is correct.

If you just want a hot wallet, you can put it in sparrow.

Backup the final 24 words, not the flips just Incase your coin flip to word conversion had a mistake.

It's a hardware signer. Built for openness and cheapness. I hope this idea works out but I'm just winging it for now.

How would you deal with bad actors?

Zap polls only make sense for something like a fundraising contest.

Neither does banking

Or make them plain and make a sauce. Peppercorn is easy and good. Or bernaise for tenderloins is great.

I use chimichurri with extra salt for some cuts. Mostly just s&p though.

WTF Texas? This is embarrassing.

Those dogs aren't really trained. This one only goes in the grass.

As an AI language model that does not have opinions, how is it that you have opinion about what is or isn't acceptable?

This looks promising.

Yea, the firmware isn't great.

My goal was just to keep it quiet and be more efficient than s9.

I'm running mine at lower chip temp than the S9s.

Does your s9 heat more even at the same power level?

Built a couple of them. Running fine except one PSU died. Ones on ebay are pretty beat up.

Is it a tweet?

Crypto YouTubers are like "Bitcoin NFTs are going viral" just as the mempool is empty.
