NO BOVAER
🇦🇺 Australian's have woken up thanks to the free sharing of information on social media and we now have a growing number of Australian Beef and Dairy Farmers refusing to use the toxic chemical *Bovaer*, a chemical proven to reduce male fertility and cause organ failure.
The message from 'We the people' to the Beef and Dairy companies is "Guess what guys? If you poison our food, we simply won't buy it from you, so good luck explaining your deficits to your share holders".
Bass River Dairies now proudly advertise their milk as 'Full fart milk'!

Ahhh , I was once in Brazil. In Jericoacoara, windsurfing. One of my best trips in my life ! Looks quite similar.

Hi nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s if I want to send someone a DM, I expect to tap on envelope icon, see list of old dm’s, and then see a + sign (make new note) and paste in someone’s npub or nip5.
But I do not see anything like that.
Do you agree this would be an intuitive ux?
But the stupid/inefficient thing is to tax *everybody* and then give free healthcare to *everybody*. All incentives to spend money wisely is lost.
Only tax the richer folks to support the poorer ones, but no needless circulation of money via tax and handouts to the same ppl.
The market has learned:
Its Bitcoin or Shitcoin.
No other options.

Totally agree. If one wants the functionalities covenants could offer, just implement it in a Layer 2, and play covenants game over there.
But leave our Btc blockchain alone!
there’s a lot of talk about “covenants” but not a lot of understanding what that entails. lets do a little dive into how i think about the opcode proposals and how they relate to “enabling covenants on bitcoin”
what is a covenant?
great question. a covenant is the ability to specify what the transaction that spends your bitcoin must look like. for example, you could say “the transaction that spends this bitcoin must pay 500k sats to this address” or “the transaction that spends this bitcoin must have a locktime set to block 880,000”
in order to make these kinds of assertions in bitcoin transactions, you need the ability to find out what information is in the transaction that is spending an output. this information needs to be accessible when the script is running.
bitcoin script is a limited programming language that you use to write locks for bitcoin. one of the limitations is what data you have access to while the program is running.
so in order to write more “expressive” bitcoin scripts, which can say “one output must be to my address and pay 500k sats”, for example, you need to be able to look at the outputs on a transaction.
this ability to look at the info on a transaction is called “introspection”. being able to introspect a transaction is a big missing piece in bitcoin. adding introspection enables you to write covenants.
so how do you get introspection in bitcoin script?
you have to add a new opcode for it. in fact, we’ve added two opcodes to bitcoin that enable introspection already: op-checklocktimeverify (op-cltv) and op-checksequenceverify (op-csv)
these look at the locktime/sequence of a transaction and require a certain value to be set in order to be valid. they were added in order to enable lightning, which uses both op-cltv and op-csv to make “primitive” covenants. these were added to enable LN, to help scale bitcoin.
today you could write a bitcoin script that asserts “the transaction that spends this bitcoin must have a locktime set to block 880,000”. you’d use op-cltv to make that script, and any coins locked to that script wouldn’t be spendable til block 880,000.
there’s no way to look at the output fields in a transaction though. you cant write a script that requires funds to go somewhere, you’d have to use presigned txs (like how lightning does) to make that kind of assertion.
ok so the goal of introspection is to let you look at what information is in a transaction that’s spending a bitcoin output. we can do this already with op-cltv and op-csv. but this is limited just to timelocks, and doesn’t let us make assertions about outputs, or other inputs.
in the next post i’ll talk about how the current opcode proposals (op-ctv, op-txhash, op-tx, op-cat) work and how they enable more broad tx introspection !
if you found this interesting, check out nostr:npub1vmpf90hq56wzyxht6teg3llpa74rzcepw9suj5unxl3tph24zd4qgtxhm7 and our classes on bitcoin transactions!
Covenants are the path to CENSORSHIP HELL. Govs could declare txs are only allowed if certain approved addresses are pre-scripted.
Just say NO to covenants!

The Netherlands has been blocking a European law against online child abuse for years. Not because The Hague is against the approach to abuse, but because experts say it is a bad bill. Under pressure from the Ministry of Justice, that blockade is now in danger of expiring.

Yes, it ended well, luckily. But doctors said if she had waited a few hours more.....

This looks very dangerous, sorry to say. My wife had a tiny cut in the palm of her hand when peeling an apple, and it got swollen like yours, she was directed to emergency dept of the hospital , the immediatly operated (cut open 2 inches in zig zag pattern), she ended up staying in hospital bed for 3 days! Watch out. I think it was called cangrene.
