Block 4
If we use NIP3 opentimestamps on our chain, we have a better claim in the future for being canonical
jeeez, i was just being hyperbolic, being at a simple 10x during a bear market does wonders taking the edge off is all i am saying (being up 10x during the bull does not count).
well, sure, i guess. But please keep in mind that (fuck you i will use cycles because up until now it obviously has been cyclical) if you have been in Bitcoin for a few cycles, it is all so much easier. The anxiety of people who fairly recently got into bitcoin given all the volatility forces their monkey brains to look for something to hold on to. And because every cycle the amount of new people coming into 'the space' grows, their mindset makes up a large part of the narrative. 'Conviction' is easy when you are already up a gazillion %. Also these people are obviously not 'in it for the tech' people like us, otherwise they would have been here early on. So they rely on stupid shallow talking points to constitute their Bitcoin understanding, and in the back of their mind they probably are aware of this.
Dont be too hard on these people.
Or in other words, don't be a Bitcoin snob.
Be a Bitcoin aristocrat instead, and understand the sorrows of the small folk
What exactly annoys you? You could also replace ‘cycle’ with ‘bullmarket’ and given that this stuff seems to ‘repeat’ using the word ‘cycle’ does not seem all that strange. Is it the assumed determinism behind the word?
Its great, did you get to the emerald tablet part already? I suggested adding snake and pong.
it is unclear. Yes in terms of correlation you are correct, but it may as well be a proxy for shitty women, also being the reason they are divorced in the first place. Widows (or her children rather) don’t show this pattern for example.
So the answer to your question is yes :)
Outbox relates to being able to get stuff from the people you follow, and is not related (per se) to what you are describing here.
If i link your tweet on reddit, you dont see that discussion either. There is no global, it simply does not exist, period. Let it go
Errr if that is true, then Bitcoin is doomed as well because according to you, wallets are throwaway.
Its just the problem of using pub/priv keypairs. They suck, they suck hard. And i do think FROST is a sollution
Meh. You can just trust an aggrigator directly like on that demo-site, or a nice market place where you select your providers, pay and move on with your day should do it.
Judging whom to trust is a problem in so many places/things yet the world still functions.
I dont follow. What do you mean by 'multiple services'?
Nostr, where your puritanical attitude towards cryptography dies in the name of dirty disgusting revolting pragmatism and convenience.
Now, I have copy-pasted and cleartext .txt-file stored many bitcoin keys in my days, but nothing as absurd as how I have treated my nsec thus far. There may be a solution that is great, if only we take our sensibilities to a dark alley and shoot it in the face.
FROST is a threshold multi-signature scheme that allows you to take your Nsec, and turn it into a multi-sig where a majority needs to coordinate in order to create a valid signature under your Npub.
Check out a demo here (don’t actually use this): https://join.the-nostr.org/.
It is simple: you put in a nsec, and you get a bunker URL back. Subsequently you can schizo-store the smashed in steel nsec away deep inside the tunnel network underneath your home, and instead copy paste that URL into all those different Nostr clients.
Lost your URL? Or did the service go down? No problem! Just venture back into those tunnels, re-acquire your nsec and create another set-up at another service elsewhere, easy. Did your URL get compromised? Ask the signers to stop cooperating and reset the multi-sig.
Obviously you run the risk that the signers you made part of the multi-signature scheme collude and compromise your secret. But honestly, in a world where you are supposed to keep a secret superduper safe, but also are expected to use it all the time; getting to a point where the ‘keep it superduper safe’ becomes a lot easier because what you ‘use all the time’ is some derivative in a trusted set-up that can be swapped out, might just be an actual step forward.
Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam.
The proces on https://join.the-nostr.org/ (just a demo, do not use it) is rather smooth, only that this does not explicitly give you the underlying privatekey, but it is actually stored locally so trivial to add.
You 'need' an active signer only if you want to be part of the multisig. Not sure how usefull that actually is, you only reduce the trust a tiny bit. Its still a threshold signature so collution is still possible so at the end of the day you still trust those that you made part of the FROST.
So no, you dont need to be an active signer, you just get a bunker link and you are off. If the link gets compromised you can ask the signers to stop signing and create a new FROST based on the same key with the same resulting Npub
Money (and I mostly mean in terms of monetary systems) is what people start wars over, that is to say that there is no ‘higher level of seriousness’. And I realized early on that Bitcoin, with its ambition to be money, resides in that playing field. War requires sacrifice. I do feel for those that did not realize this going into it, but it is what it is; you signed up to be chewed up and spit out whether you knew it or not. It is not a matter of ‘if only people would…’; no, the dynamics involved overrule all such fanciful idealism.
All you can do is find solace in your brothers in arms.
Thank you for your service.
Dont know if mstr stock gives divident. But yes you would sell or use it as colleteral i guess.
To be clear, i dont own anything, know nothing and above all dont advice anything. :)
Would you say you are an expert on such type of humans?
The Lord gifeth and the Lord taketh away. By mysterious ways you happen to experience the latter
