Some of y’all like to get J Pegged and it shows

The ocean being boiled

Glad I was smart enough to know Cory was a scammer.

Can you believe there are people who use Swan?

The red wasn’t doing it had to switch it up

Got a little #puffpuffpaint sesh in this morn. Going to prioritize this piece and try to finish before the end of the year.

This was one of the more recent things I axed. You got this!

That’s where the nuts and fruits come in

Also I try to wait as long as I can before I eat my first meal of the day

Crazy how much weight you can lose by eating healthy and regularly exercising! I’m pretty much a health freak now.

How I’m doing it-

Wake up no alarm between 5am-6am

Coffee with couple drops of cream.

No sugar

No chocolate

No soda

No fast food*

Limitless steaks & eggs

Veggies

Broccoli

Asparagus

Peppers

Onions

Zucchini

Cucumber

Artichoke

Fruit & nuts

Strawberries

Blueberries

Watermelon

Pistachio

Peanuts

Walnuts

Cashu

Limited amounts of bread

Limited potato intake

Limited snacks

1 hour work out 3-5 times a week

Swim

Walk

Gym

No alcohol

No cigarettes

Strictly marijuana

Bed before 11pm

* I still struggle with my newly found health diet and occasionally I go to Rasing Canes, or a local burger joint or chick-fil-a but NO SODA and I only get fries from the local burger joint)

I can’t trust anyone who will entertain a known grifter on there show.

Why not have Craig Wright on the show?

so, their logic is that not using a pubkey hash in the output saves 32 bytes for the following spend, and that sha256+ripemd160 provides only 80 bits of security. the logic goes that by using ripemd160 the search space for valid solutions is expanded by 48 bits, so only 2^80 tries should get one valid solution.

what this means is that you only have to search 80 bits (10 bytes, or 2^80 possible values) to find a candidate secret key that generates the same pubkey hash. so to increase that to 128 bits, as you get with a 256 bit hash, you would need to remove the ripemd160 - and probably don't need to do it twice.

but the note goes on to explain why this isn't enough:

it's assumed that *most of the use* of P2TR is going to be multisig. i suppose they were thinking lightning channel opens. idk about that. i think onchain is gonna still be common in 10 years time but only by then maybe channel opens predominate. Ark doesn't need this, it operates without making onchain transactions until it closes its routes, which it can basically defer almost indefinitely because of the way VTXOs work.

the logic behind the justification to make the single signature transaction essentially sacrifices the security against public keys being revealed, by forcing them to be revealed immediately on spend what signature must be on the spend for a UTXO. so actually, they are handing a lot more time to quantum and brute force attackers and attackers using side channels, a shitload of time to break the pubkey of P2TR transactions.

for the sake of 32 bytes

which is the whole selling point of P2TR - smaller transaction.

yes, because they sacrificed a type of security that at the time was not considered as important, and because they are thinking that most taproot tx's are going to be FUCKING MULTISIG.

i don't think this is reasonable. i think they should have retained the pubkey hash, and not muddled up the separate concerns of a single signer versus multisig. my first impression of what i first learned about taproot from reading the APIs of the btcec codebase was that it was mashing together two things that were not necessarily linked or secure to be linked. a domain boundary violation, a code smell of a bad architecture.

if my atomic swaps are going via taproot, then they are single sig. if my onchain payments are going via taproot, they are single sig.

it is only the one out of three case of a lightning channel open that it's got two of two.

definitely gotta read up more on this because it just seems like they have designed the security model not in favor of hodling, to me.

hodling in taproot might not be a good idea. that's the thing that springs to mind out of reading this. the first crack of an EC pubkey deriving the secret from it probably will happen in the next 10 years. it might be very expensive but this leaves taproot addresses wide open to this attack for anyone who isn't spending the SINGLE SIG transaction quickly again.

The core devs hood winked us with taproot.

Why doesn’t he just bring Vitalik on his show? Why invite an ethereum service provider to a bitcoin pod?

Check yourself before you rekt yourself.

I wouldn’t want to listen to a single word that piece of shit has to say.

It’s not dependent on bitcoin. You don’t need to run a node. All you need is a funding source while it’s common for mint operators to assign a lightning address it could be any shitcoin or any fiat currency there is no bitcoin requirement of any kind.

It’s a trust me bro IOU system

Cashu is in no way dependent on bitcoin therefore it can’t be a layer.

Cashu is another solution in search of a problem. In fact that’s why I think he’s pro spam. Because his whole grift is that cashu it’s a scaling solution.

Cope Harder Bro.

A lot of people respect his opinions

He posted a thread on X. He was too caught up with the technicals like most developers who are proponents or core. He was finally able to see the big picture and corrected himself.

It takes a strong man to admit that he was wrong and come out and say the truth.

“Spam as no place in the Time Chain”

You know that Adam Back tried to get Vitalik to build Ethereum on Bitcoin right?

Vitalik’s reason for not building eth on Bitcoin was the possibility of OP_RETURN removal or a cap/limit.

The idea of OP_RETURN applying a limit in the future was enough to disincentivize bad actors like Vitalik.

Let me say that again.

OP_RETURN stopped Vitalik from building Eth on Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Core is aligned with Tap Root Wizards, Ethereum Service Providers, Shitcoiners, and Bad Actors.

Core proponents should take a look around the room.

Peter Todd was paid for this PR.

True Story

Also core devs were telling node runners “if you don’t pay you have no say”

Core lost the plot.

Their proponents are just thinking from a technical aspect and can’t see the big picture. Even when it’s “Mate in 2”

Vague? Look at all my other notes from today. My point went right over your head. Core is the one making the changes. Knots is closer to Core v25 than Core 30 is. But the people opting out of this madness are retarded? You are just another brain dead bitcoin core pawn giving up your node configuration settings. You are aligned with taproot wizards, ethereum, and bad actors. Time to look in the mirror bub.

Bitcoin Core is kind of like the people who buy a restaurant that’s been around for a decade and after the sale goes through they change the menu. Then they start scratching their heads wondering why their business is going down and people stopped eating at their restaurant. Instead of asking their customers what’s wrong with their meal they call them stupid and say their taste buds are wrong and their food is great.

Core users want their node to be controlled by core.

Knots users want to control their node.

Not only that but they want multiple OP_RETURNs per transaction

Then why remove them?

Not adding up.

Core is like a fucking condo association

It’s a power grab that backfired

Core removed node runner ability to configure settings and swapped the defaults.

Hard fucking stop.

Everything else is irrelevant.

Only if node runners update to the latest version of core

Yes you grant them full permission to configure your node without you being able to opt out.

Seems like some peoples got no monies and others got mo monies

Biggie was right mo money no problems
