quantum computers are coming. we should think about how to protect btc before the attack happens, because if we don't, the loss of reputation will be unrecoverable

The YouTube app has gotten horrendously shittier over the last year.

Sometimes I will open it and before searching anything there's a video playing that I didn't even select.

They’re basically interoperable in that you can use one seed phrase in the other, but there are a bunch of feature differences that make Blitz the better option, including privacy, NWC compatibility, and they’re much better at accepting feedback and responding to support issues.

There's a lot of soft socialism in FOSS, and nostr is no exception.

2. ETH uses Ξ . the similarity to the ultimate shitcoin is too much for me

3. and this 'sats symbol' isn't a made up convention? it's all made up, we're making it all up. we've got a chance to make something up that a wider audience will be able to recognize.

you really don't think that lowercasing a subunit doesn't have an immediate rationale to it, even for the uninitiated?

besides, the convention isn't *entirely* novel:

in computing, bytes are B, bits are b.

chemistry: m vs M (molal vs molar concentration)

math: p vs P (probability value vs measure)

This chart only ends in violence

People are already very, very accustomed to thinking in terms of Dollars and Cents. They can easily swap in whole "bitcoin" for "dollar" and "sats" for cents. Giving them symbols that are obvious (a lowercase "b" seems like a "little version" of the uppercase "B" they've seen everywhere) seems like a much friendlier ramp from stuff they're used to than some bizarre tree-looking thing. Bitcoin is weird enough and has enough new concepts as is.

1. wtf is that thing - it has no connection to any existing symbols or semantics

2. ether already uses it

3. a lowercase "b" is clearly related to the uppercase "B" and makes everyone happy - the people who want the "B" in there can compromise, and the people who want "sats" can be happy we're not using the "B" and can adjust to "b" meaning "sats"

Whats wrong with 丰

lowercase 'b' is sats

I strongly urge you to read William‘s own sentencing letter linked in the article.

William and Keonne developed Samourai because they wanted Bitcoin to work as intended: as a censorship-resistant, peer-to-peer digital cash.

Never thought Id say this, but I wish there were more people like them.
