IT IS PRETTY SAD THAT THE YEAR IS 2024 YET MOST BLUE CHECK BITCOINERS STILL DO NOT UNDERSTAND CHAIN HEURISTICS.

A lot of Bitcoiner’s are addicted to their status as loser underdogs.

We’re winning.

Get used to it.

You’re about to be the new wealthy elite.

Prepare accordingly.

Hahahahahaha keep telling yourself that.

Whoever wrote this feedback obviously never used nostr

What's the best Linux distro?

xmr is privacy for lazy people with custodial wallets

bitcoin node on tor is no less private as long as you coinjoin

lightning could be used for this if someone bothered to devise a rendezvous payment invoice scheme

Enjoy the absence of the reply guys. It won't last forever.

Sometimes I run into a tech guy on Twitter, who talks about how cypherpunk he is.

I’m just a financial analyst and investor, so that’s cool to hear. The more cypherpunks, the better. I like to fund cypherpunks.

But then I look around, and he’s not active on Nostr for over a year. He’s only active on centralized social media.

So then I am confused at how supposedly cypherpunk he is. Is he really that reliant on centralized media? Often, it turns out yes. If not, what other cryptographic proof does he have for his work?

As Nostr increasingly gains network adoption, it becomes weirder when I analyze why someone who is techie is highly active on Twitter but not at all on Nostr.

this clear artificial market/political manipulation by dumping bitcoiyn at an opportune time is going to backfire so hard i can't begin to express how bearish you all are

most who have been in crypto and forex for the last 20 years would be familiar with the image of trying to push down a beachball under the water, and how it jumps so vigorously upwards

these evil numbskulls are literally trying to drown an inherently bouyant asset, that rises in proportion with the flood of liquidity, and the more they push down, the square of the upwards velocity it will acquire

i'm just gonna relax now

i'm pretty sure 250k is the new median line

that they have been playing this game for at least 6 years, based on the divergence of the bitcoin price on log scale from a straight line, because they have been pumping the money supply actually faster than a log scale should give a straight line

i think macaffee was right

this cycle is gonna see a 1mil top, but ~200 is gonna be the mean

just draw the line on the chart, against the money supply curve

this is a no brainer

shaking your sats out of your hands is their goal

hold on for deal life

this is gonna be fun, when they become the paupers and we have the coins to pay for their executions

it’s of national importance that we set a minimum physiognomy standard for graduating engineers in the west

why i hate C

read through the code of github.com/bitcoin-core/secp256k1

find me the part where i can convert an x-only key to a standard 33 byte 257 bit EC key with sign bit

been digging at this for a few hours now

C coders don't think logically, they think bureaucratically

i would have less trouble understanding what is happening in Assembler than this shit

The first iterations were in 1993... 3 decades ago

well, my understanding of it is simply that by overflowing the numbers you break the reverse relation to the source numbers

you can easily compute them if you know the numbers, but if you don't, and all you have is the outputs, the number of possible guesses required to find the numbers is impossibly large

but yes, i think it's called the "discrete logarithm problem"

i think that is a deceptive name because as far as i can tell, it's the finite field that defines the math, not the integer part, the integer part is sorta encoded in the expression "discrete" meaning - more or less - integer arithmetic

if you did the same calculations but didn't make them overflow at an arbitary field length they would be reversible

ok, next thing you need to understand is clockwork arithmetic

this is math where when the number blows past some boundary it wraps around to zero

it's called clockwork arithmetic because the field (set of numbers or range of numbers) is finite, thus they call them "finite fields"

when you make a calculation with these numbers, as they overflow they create a "trapdoor" where you can't guess where it started but you can easily find the way there if you know the starting point and the factors in the equation

this creates entropy, or randomness, that cannot be undone without knowing that secret, but also, in the case of elliptic curves and RSA/DSA signatures you can check that the source number was a secret someone else has, without being able to reverse the secret

it's too complicated for me right now, i have to fix this stupid code to use binary instead of hexadecimal... it's actually removing code i'm doing here, because it's just fucking retarded, like code passing around numbers as decimal strings and then converting them into binary to calculate and then back to decimal to return

anyhow, enough!

suffice it to say, that the "experts" use ways of describing what is going on that makes it seem like voodoo but really it's just algebra and arithmetic

This is facts 😂

I tend not to lol it’s fucking lame

the pleb to pleb convos in the halls and bars is why i come to these things
