Lurking

The next high profile murderer might discover Nostr before doing it. This would allow him to set up a queue of messages to be published by his npub, all triggered by a dead man’s switch. Free reach is not without downsides.

You should definitely meet in person before doing that.

Of course, you’d be more than happy to make arrangements at the nicest of the local meeting spaces.

All that is needed is for them to send a few thousand to cover their half of the room reservation, food, and entertainment.

Seems like a classic case of the cost of something being harder to measure than the benefit

I wonder whether the effect of them is to prematurely satiate chartable urges or whether it’s a net benefit by grabbing some money that wouldn’t otherwise be donated.

Either way it’s easy to imagine that even with 10 seconds of time spent by the cashier and the buyer, a significant human time value has been spent gathering the donation.

There are plenty of security camera videos of how the attacks we’re talking about actually take place on the Internet. I’m curious if you’ve got exposure to a good sample size of them? What you’re saying sounds to my ears more like the common, romanticized version of how these attacks happen that I hear from people who haven’t seen how they actually play out.

I would say these videos show that the helpful man we are imagining is unlikely to be there when needed.

Of course none of this means anyone actually /needs/ to prepare themselves to be able to deal with such an event. This is a low probability event after all.

In light of the recent history, 0% seems unlikely. Holding to the question - “Does "purchased" #Bitcoin left on an exchange really move the price?” - I’m just thinking that unless there is 100% paper bitcoin at these places, the answer has to be yes, the price would “move”. Seems more likely that they only put some of it in, so new purchases are likely to move the price proportionally to the fraction of paper bitcoin the exchange is carrying.

This is only true if the fraction moves down proportionally to the purchase

Edit: electricity grows like trees: from energy that literally that falls from the sky. You need a tool to catch it, but the same is mostly true of wood products (like paper) also.

So yes, electricity basically grows on trees for the purposes of the article.

Someone claimed he needed stitches on his jaw and broke his ankle. If that’s all it was I think he was lucky 😬

Yeah I was going to say this

There is definitely not a bicycle in those top two boxes
