two of two single points of failure though.
2015 called, it wants its shitcoiner talking points back.
We are not talking about software; we are talking about a protocol for separating money and state.
The corporate press is the enemy of the people.
it would be fun but not happening again.
Yes, but it would be a soft fork, so we would need to do more than just not update.
Why is your daughter not on the bitcoin standard? 🤣
My point is that the transparency of the timechain is not as damaging when your coins are not attached to your identity. Think of Satoshi, he has the largest onchain footprint of anyone, yet he still has pretty good privacy.
Even an AGI couldn't look at the "totality of the data" nostr:npub1cj8znuztfqkvq89pl8hceph0svvvqk0qay6nydgk9uyq7fhpfsgsqwrz4u - combinatorial explosion is too large, the CPU and/or RAM needed would literally collapse into a black hole.
It's physically impossible, which is why markets and price signals are so important for any system that it sufficiently complex.
Plus, human action - the outcome of free will - is not amenable to the statistical analyses that work for the natural sciences.
Agreed. Here is what I will do:
1. Set up an LN node, despite getting wrecked twice in the past running one.
2. Go back to providing liquidity on JM, which I had only run for a short time because of all of its quirks and rough edges.
3. Pledge 1M sats to any credible and organized effort to revitalize JM.
Any other suggestions for what a pleb can do are welcome.
The most important barrier to onchain privacy is KYC/AML. Once more of us earn in sats or buy our sats peer to peer, the situation will be much better.
This MONSTROUS nostr:npub167hmfzj38hkumks4wxny89797la0sf7wnwfrw4enlmcl82msp0cs78schc CoinJoin has just been mined.
For the total price of $589, almost 202 bitcoins have been made fungible!
12 inputs >= 10 BTC.
30 inputs >= 1 BTC.
It seems like the whales are taking advantage of the low fees to CJ before the ZK Snacks coordinator shuts down next month! 
Not a fan but that clip of you and nostr:npub1klkk3vrzme455yh9rl2jshq7rc8dpegj3ndf82c3ks2sk40dxt7qulx3vt riffing about monster coinjoins was probably the best promo on a podcast I have ever watched.
Just about the only good thing that deranged individual has said about anything other than chess.
The issue is not technical risk, it is fucking-up-miner-incentives risk. Poelstra focusing on technical risk and not the broader economic incentives are what gave us high-resolution dickbutts under Taproot.
I’m not long fiat, therefore I can’t take advantage of sats being on sale.
Perhaps but the key here is that they are easy targets for what they have said and the way they have acted in the past.
