Not if we get Dimon at Treasury. That would be worse than Mnuchin, probably, and definitely worse than Yellen.

I’m already worn out from Nashville and I haven’t even gone there yet.

Meanwhile tons of bitcoiners are still frothing at the mouth for him after the news that he’s considering someone who hates Bitcoin for the role which impacts Bitcoin the most 🤦‍♂️

Ha, if this is true another Trump administration will be worse for Bitcoin than the current Biden one 🤦‍♂️

A lot of people talk about “attacks on bitcoin”, but they’re usually just people doing something you don’t like. In rare cases, though, these things can have severe consequences for the entire Bitcoin system.

This is what an attack on Bitcoin looks like https://github.com/rollkit/rollkit/issues/761#issuecomment-2195853303

Bitcoin is comparatively simple! Lightning maybe less so 😅

They is a political standards organization that is the successor to the people who invented http :)

They’re moaning about people having to make sure their site works with TLS? Seems like a weird complaint. My issue is that TLS is an overcomplicated beast of a protocol (okay somewhat better with 1.3, but even still), which is the enemy of security, we have like 100 “roots of trust” in the form of CAs, most of which have a long history of being terrible, it relies on too many pieces of an increasingly huge stack, etc….

DNS is so much less complexity/attack surface than HTTPS. HTTPS/TLS are terrible protocols that should be constrained to web browsers. nostr:note1rqz20lqj03r54k880tg4tw5hg3peyr8wy6lw7zm5xfwp62yznx5q58kqc7

The one good thing GDPR did was make almost all domain whois private by law.

Get any domain, enable DNSSEC, add a Bitcoin: URI to username.user._bitcoin-payment.yourdomain in a TXT record. Done.

You can also now use https://satsto.me which should give reasonable error messages (currently says “The server indicated the records we needed were not DNSSEC-authenticated” for the example name you gave).
