Keep nostr weird

Interesting. Do you know what characteristics might have been associated with each side?

Me: That might raise the server load and increase maintenance costs.

Them: Fuck you, bitch.

I feel like I waited so long for this halving and now it's just poopies, please can the devs do something?

A family member asked if I had my photo taken with Trump like how my grandfather (who was very active in the Republican Party) had his photo taken with Ronald Reagan.

He was taken aback when I informed him that Trump required a $60,000 donation for the privilege.

TIL that the terms Left and Right wing politics came from the French revolution

Comedy is how you make race a non issue. Anybody not understanding that like CPT charisma, prob lives somewhere where there ain't no diversity and never said some shit got their ass beat or worried bout loosing their job for 'talking'. It's gonna be ok tho cause I think comedy is making a comeback. Sorry Europe (or anywhere but USA), you're about 5 years into a 15 year delayed woke tsunami and by the time you realize it 'merica will either have gone full reverse for 8 years or none of us will have jobs or school, so it won't matter. 😂 But either way your gonna be living in the internet past compared to here so jus know that. Also, I apologize to you on behalf of all of Hollywood. 🐑

Most people who I know that think the CIA invented bitcoin, are not very familiar with the pre-history of Bitcoin including work by Back, Szabo, Finney, etc.

I'm not saying that certainly no intelligence agency created Bitcoin, but rather, I'm very skeptical of the certainty that many people have around that topic.

Because, when you are somewhat familiar with that pre-history and look at it from an engineering perspective, you can clearly see the pieces gradually falling into place. In the1980s there was work by Chaum about how to build a database run by mutually suspicious entities. In the 1990s there was work by Back for proof-of-work. As things moved into the 2000s, there was Szabo's Bit Gold, which is very similar to what Bitcoin ended up being, and Finney's Reusable Proof of Work "RPOW" tokens. Finney hadn't solved the centralization issue, and Szabo hadn't solved the issue of better computation causing supply inflation over time, but they were collectively within shooting range of the solution. Others as well. Meanwhile global bandwidth was getting better, encryption in general was getting better (and there we've got an actual intelligence agency contribution), etc.

And then Satoshi added to that work, including the difficulty adjustment in particular and many other details, with a full implementation.

Basically, if someone thinks that Bitcoin just kind of magically came out of nowhere, then it's pretty easy to see how they'd be inclined toward a conspiratorial assumption.

However, if one sees that, just like any other industry, there was a series of engineers building on each others' work until someone finally got it over the line, then it looks a lot more organic.

😂😂 well, then you gotta start saying allow list, block list w/me.. cause i tried real hard on dat to satisfy the society

I bought the plastic model that I wanted. This is the work of a Japanese science fiction illustrator who has been working since the 1980s.

The way #Amethyst initially implemented them was heinous, not hilarious.

Thanks, I tried now to follow all my active followers aka frens, but I’m not nearly close to 500.

Sooo…
