if this is correct (I'm probably missing a lot and being wrong), I still fail to understand how do IP addresses work. if you successfully peer with other ISPs, who gives you an IP address? the other ISP? so you're inferior to them? or does an IP come from the top of the masters of the internet, ICANN, and lands on your door automatically?
I guess the internet guides are more worried about telling you how can you get the infrastructure required to sell internet to others, which is being an ISP -- but it is philosophically different from being a "self-sovereign internet node" which seems to be what you want.
I think the answer is that there is no such thing as self-sovereignty on the internet, it's a set of relationships based on different interests, not very open, and very very hacky, and ultimately you depend very much on your peers, you can't ever be independent in any meaningful sense.
he will say you must "peer with other ISPs", which means you must be friends with them so they will allow you to connect your cable on their router.
he will say everyone should be their own ISP, but he won't explain how do you make these friends.
you must be friends with other ISPs, or you can buy a big line from one of the big ones, which is what the internet guides will tell you to do, but that to me doesn't seem very different from just buying home internet from an ISP.

I don't know about you, but I've been getting some pull requests from people that don't seem to be part of the "bitcoin community" at all, for example, on https://github.com/fiatjaf/noscl/pull/24, and that is very encouraging
good to know
not true, but I don't want to fight
taxonomies and extreme classification of the natural world are a heritage of the same "enlightenment" that produced socialism, french revolution and fiat money, see diderot and his encyclopédie

there are no requirements, this is just scientists making stuff up
it is not bad, I like it even, but I don't understand the urge to have a "symbol". also it is useless without native support in all keyboards. I think it is better and clearer to just write "sats" or "sat" or "satoshis".
bisq is very easy, it works wonderfully, I thought it was hard, but it is not
