You can trace all bitcoin transactions. You just can't always say who was who. The UTXO set adds to less than 21 million, and always will.
And thus it cannot be a store of value.
And I'd guess that it's difficult if not impossible to build a state channel overlay like LN, which then becomes more private than Monero with enough hidden nodes.
Encryption < not publishing private data.
A published ciphertext can be analysed. Unpublished data does not exist outside where it was exchanged.
Best thing about Nostr is now I can follow all my faves from the bird app but not have to use the bird app.
Still got to find all the rest of you all but I'm in no hurry. Time preference gets lower the less you are caught up in the rat race.
The dogs in Romania are a little aggressive too. But mostly the ones you see in Bulgaria and Yugoslavia are total lazy asses and they just bark a lot. I'm glad to read warnings like this of things to be aware of.
I'm pretty sure the reason the dogs are aggro is they are more hungry. I would guess that a little food would probably go a long way to pacify them if you had to deal with them regularly, and make friends etc... just whatever it takes to make them back off if you can't walk around outside of their range.
The roaming dogs provide a little security in poor communities, since whenever there is something exciting going on, the dogs tend to want to be there.
Monero is not auditable and because of obfuscation has far less payment ledger capabilities. No RBF, so CPFP no fee market. If it got too popular it would end up with a nasty mempool bitrot problem.
It is probable the weak obfuscation of Monero is no stronger than chain analysis Vs coinjoins.
It's a one trick pony right now, and with enough LN on Tor or similar, obsolete.
The main claims relate to darkweb arrests. But most of these depended on a lot of evil nodes on the anonymising network and had nothing to do with Bitcoin. UTXO is mostly private.
If you want more than this, please donate to Indra so we can bring scalable privacy to the internet.
See my profile for info re Indra.
You could send me then :p
snort.social is what I use, but everything needs more featuressssssss
lol, and then as I go to collect the dry duvet cover sheet it's in the puddle beside the rack, right that exact moment.
Oh well, rinse and spin, nbd. still lazy sunday to be had yet.

Wash linen, work on code, and dry finish 8am...

Cheap wash, lazy sunday 🤪
I lived in England previously, 6 months mostly the beginning of 2013. It was a white winter, unusually for the location on the shores of the Irish sea that year, but I also don't remember it being this damn cold as this year a little further south but far from any coastline.
This year I think so far one day has been over 23`C, and actually, most days under 17.
I am definitely missing the continental summer this year.
The convention of 72 characters for the first line of the commit comment?
If you need more space, just put a blank line under the tl;dr version. et voila. You can put your entire starship log there.
80 columns of monospace text is pretty much exactly how far you can read before you start to have trouble spotting the next line.
No, you have to learn Go and write some serious concurrent processing pipelines first.
Just got my Xapo card... ridiculous packaging, fully 12mm thick, elaborate sliding doodads as is the trend with these visa/mc card deliveries.
Revolut cards came in a similarly stupid thing but at least it was flat and under 8mm thick. Just seems kinda dumb to send such an empty thing in a document envelope so big. I'm paying somewhere along the line, right?
Anyway, tested out depositing to it via Revolut, which I had previously used the virtual card to instantly convert bitcoin balance to do the payment, and bounced the funds back via instant SEPA, and it literally bleeped at me less than 5 seconds later that Revolut just received a payment, right after Xapo told me it send it.
Don't really need the Revolut card anymore. Don't need to hold any balance in fiat anymore.
Now, everyone, dump your BTC so I regret it :p
Impossible it could be an on chain fee with that number, far larger than the total supply. It's probably an unsigned integer overflow that got imputed into being a Big Integer by some magic of Javascript.
stacker.news had a similar glitch recently that caused a ridiculously large post reward, 0.152. It happened by concatenating the ascii coded numbers together instead of mathematically summing them.
Appalachia?
For some reason, I can't help feeling like I would regret hearing a joke from Amazon.
Or quantum superconductor ai!
