You and I are a comical pair.

I don’t picture billions of people. Ever. The amount of hubris involved in that exercise would make Zaphod Beeblebrox blush.

Would it bother me to have to go online at least once a week for 5 minutes to perform a few final settlement action? Not really. I could use the coffee shop wifi to watch prank videos while I wait. But then I live entirely offgrid in a forest. So I’m not in a rush.

You, are in a rush. To get after it in life. Which is great. But the “perfect UI” falacy holds no water outside of a couple wealthy cities, and as a way to justify dev budgets, timelines, and embarrassing low adoption numbers.

Do it well. But not perfect, and make choices for billions of people without their input

I think Justin Trudeau jacked the bridge. He’s mad about all the “baby Castro” comments.

everybody all rushing to be an expert about all the things…

We dunno. We speculate

Guess work. Never to be taken more than 90% seriously 😐 🤓

There you go again with the Silicon Valley Bro generalizations 😂

By “consumer facing” I guess you mean people, with names like Susan, and Bikram Bobdati who would use it to buy things. In which case I would imagine Susan might like it and Bikram might think it stinks like wet stray dogs in monsoon season. It’s an interesting idea. We’ll see where it goes…

That is what I read on their site. It reverts to sender after 2 weeks. Didn’t get the impression they considered it a flaw.

The vTXO closures are interesting. Recipient has two weeks, then the sender has two weeks to reclaim. Then the service provider has 4 weeks to claim abandoned transactions.

I feel humbled and lucky to have stumbled on nostr early and I am regularly amazed at how smart some of you are. Being exposed to projects like this one make me feel thankful and excited… and I want to learn more…

not arkd, kernel root-kit checker.

pls define “This”

Again, the best way to make the US look weak is not to run a ship into a bridge, but to publicly destabilize its economy and pull its allies into financial deals which exclude the U.S. and ignore its sanctions. That is a public bitch slap almost impossible to recover from. Russia is winning the war in Ukraine, and BRICS is winning. But it is more fun to think the Russians blew up a bridge. 🇷🇺🪆🌉💣

I’m aware of that 😁

I thought you might have done some digging…

Because it’s Russia and not a movie or video game.

And besides if Russia had done it, it would be all over every news channel as a reason to send troops and money to Ukraines

That’s b rated Hollywood stuff don’t you think? Well below Russias game. They have something much more terrifying to the US… BRICS.

GPS spoofing a ship into a bridge from on-site is teenage cyber gang level. Russias game is more like starting a global exit run on the U.S. dollar and collapsing 50% of the U.S. fertilizer supply the same year.

ive been periodically checking the conspiracy angles for the Baltimore bridge collision, and honestly I can’t find one that really sticks and feels right.

I’m actually starting to wonder if the ship really did just break and run into the bridge. Which… would be headline news in and of itself. “Breaking news: no high level conspiracy in bridge accident”
