hes isn't actually interested in debating tradeoffs and substance

he doesn't seem to actually know anything

its just

"monero bad because reasons.

and if i say it confidently it doesn't matter if I'm factually incorrect"

Ohh my.

Have Fun Playing with shitcoins. Godspeed.

Everyday I open up Nostr and my timeline is filled with Pro Bitcoin memes and slogans,

But rarely do you guys post education on how to setup and balance lightning channels, and whats required on setting up a node.

I've never seen a single person discuss the cost minimums of swapping into lightning vs buying channels on-chain. Rather than treat Monero users like they don't exist or are shit-fucking-homeless.. actually show us how to use lightning

What the fuck

small blocks are what allows block validation to happen at a reasonable pace because it places an upper threshold for computing requirements to allow for a level playing field for nodes; to not create incentives to have computing power be a hurdle to validate incoming blocks. little to do with payment channels, all to do with keeping running a Bitcoin node as open as possible whether you are a big company on the newest version or an individual running a version a decade old

your cryptonote knockoff isnt designed this way and can only continue to make excuses to fork constantly, unable to keep nodes in sync or keep a story straight 🤷

I think they did it because the double-@ on Mastodon is "confusing"

Monero is good from a privacy point of view as long as you also take into account privacy at the network level, which means always using your node.

But the way Monero is set up it has serious problems.

- The dynamic block size makes it not decentralized, because if it has a massive adoption only big companies will be able to run the nodes.

- It has a hidden and unsolvable inflation problem due to its technology (ring signatures), it is one of the reasons among others why Liquid did not adopt ring signatures, if they did they could not guarantee the 1:1 backing between Bitcoin and L-BTC.

- There is no consensus or stability in the network, Monero has had numerous hardforks throughout its short history to introduce new features which hinders its adoption as a store of value or currency.

- It has tail issuance, which while low, nothing guarantees given the history of hardforks that this will change in the future.

Monero supporters can cry and come and say I have no idea and blah blah blah, but the reality is what it is and the adoption of monero is what it is and the price of monero is what it is.

You can ignore reality but not its consequences.

Has anyone ever used those Chinese retro game console box things that have like 100,000 games on it from all the old consoles?

(I heard they can be majorly janky and people recommend using a raspberry pi to put together your own emulator instead. I can't do this tho lol)

I agree with all that but I just can't understand how something as obvious as Gwei became the problem. It's like it was actually designed for rich people.

It's never again going to be viable for ordinary people to transfer small amounts of ETH between private wallets.

That's inexcusable to me.

Using an alby lightning address connected to your self hosted albyhub is still custodial

I promise I'm not lying, when I first checked this notice it had insurance files you could download. but now they're gone

Yes, but then I will be getting zapped from people's tor nodes they run as a hobby from their houses. This is the main source of stuck htlcs. Been burned too many times I've learned my lesson already. Much rather just use a custodian for zaps
