#BTC2 really? That pile of 💩isn't even a Bitcoin fork! It's just another shit-fungible minted on a shitcoin chain called ETH.

Even if this was a BTC fork, there is no second best. Ask all the other forks who couldn't come up with a name for their shit-forks.

For someone starting out would you recommend calyxos or graphene? And place for learning material?

A boat named "shit happens" battery died. I guess we'll give them a jump. 😂

Potato test

I just looked on stacker.news and had a butchers at some of the threads, there seemed to be a lot of hate towards Nostr for some reason. Is this normal or did I just peruse at a bad moment?

I love that you’re there, but as you said you’re working with a decade of experience and most people will never whiff 5% of what you know how to do. I want a graphene or calyx device to tinker with as well because I love the ability to do cool off the wall shit.

For a daily, I likely wouldn’t run graphene or calyx as there are big usability trade offs. I love Linux myself and I run it when I can, but that doesn’t mean it can replace Windows as much as I loathe MS and their insidious telemetry some software just isn’t available for Linux that many need to run their business etc.

One thing we can agree is anything that takes the power away from mega cap tech and puts it in users hands is better; my hope isn’t a pissing match between brands of phone but a design philosophy that empowers all users such as web-apps.

It shouldn’t matter if you are on an android, iOS, Linux or windows desktop, we should all be able to have the same experience and Zap and note to our hearts content without any single company dictating what we can and can’t do. So in my opinion android isn’t the solution, neither is iOS, so dancing on one another isn’t productive hence my initial reply to #[2]​ post.

The reality is for most users iOS is superior from a privacy and data collection standpoint. Conflating YOUR ability to gain root access with the business model of the parent company is comical.

I run an iOS device and if I chose to run an android it would need to be stock android as my day job necessitates I be on a standard issue off the shelf device. Stock android is insanely invasive and with googles business model being based on harvesting user data it’s not a company I elect to use.

For the record I was an android user for years and I used to hate iPhones before I started using one and then I realized it’s actually a superior experience most of the time. Tech bro super geeks will be like “but bro i can run custom ROMS” cool bro do it; it’s not like you are auditing the code or really diving deep into who made that ROM, they are just putting their trust in another 3rd party they see as trustworthy. Whether that turns out to be the right decision or not time will tell.

Google is trying to DRM the entire web experience, and they are making moves to neuter the neutrality of AOSP, but please tell me more about how it’s superior.

No, it’s just Friday afternoon and I didn’t want to argue about it. I ran across the slides and found them interesting but I didn’t personally do the math so can’t really defend my position.

I'm just saying

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Ok, etherium is widely distributed.

1,000 addresses with 1 bitcoin could be a 1,000 people or 1 person or something in between.

1 address with a 1,000 bitcoin is pretty straight forward
