Bitcoin Improvement Proposals
All I did is google for the latest news article on the China ban (link above). If the article is making things up then what can you do? I'm not going to fly out into communist China to attempt it myself.
On most phones you can't remove the battery. You also can't buy a phone without GPS.
Chinese just connected to exchanges that they could. In the article it said he used OKX and Binance, probably using a VPN, open overseas bank accounts, etc
Despite being banned, the Chinese crypto market recorded an estimated $86.4 billion in raw transaction volume between July 2022 and June 2023
Here is a CBDC without calling it a CBDC:
Where is the bitcoin ETF feed so that I can laugh at the fools buying actual shares?
I haven't spent enough time to learn it either so I will have to wait and see. It's hard to choose which platform to build on.
I think it's the #dht
So more like bittorrent which is more tried and true to decentralization.
Like it or not, #nostr is not perfect from everyone's perspective: https://twitter.com/peterktodd/status/1759151430336737645?s=46
I wouldn't trust lnbits. DYOR, but I have heard they still have vulnerabilities in their code. If you need to have multiple shared lightning accounts then there is no better option that I am aware of, but if you just need one account with multiple lnaddresses then btcpayserver is the way to go.
Follow #hockey or whatever else you are interested in, and create posts with those interests including the hashtag. It's that simple.
Not everyone wants sovereign money. In fact the majority don't. I don't see a problem unless the masses wake up to self sovereignty. If that happens I think the technology will happen without the fear of things like a CBDC being used on bitcoin.
I just create a separate network for my gaming rig, and keep it shut down when I'm not using it. Everything else is FOSS.
You are almost there. To receive zaps using lnaddresses, install btcpayserver, create an accou t, check the box that says create invoice automatically, create a lightning address, create a docker based azure website using instructions here
https://docs.btcpayserver.org/Deployment/ReverseProxyToTor/#do-all-this-in-a-docker-container
These are step by step directions. More like a reference, but the azure app service needs 2 environment variables. The first one is TOR_SITE and the 2nd is TOR_PORT.
The last think is https://uptime.betterstack.com to keep the azure website awake, and you also get to monitor your node's uptime.
At least WhatsApp is end to end encrypted. Signal is better.
I think #Strike is required to send all your tx data to the IRS FYI. I wouldn't mind that so much, but the data they send conflicts with your actual FIFO cost bases unless your only platform to send/receive crypto is Strike. So when you do your taxes the IRS gets to hear two different stories.
The only reason books became a source of signal was because they were more expensive to produce than the village idiots talking in the streets.
Unless online discourse carries a cost to parse out quality, it will always devolve into the dumpster fire twitter/X is today.
