Having been lucky enough to preview this book, I can tell you it is amazing, profound and presents a powerful message backed by loads of research!

The principles of supporting/doing what is best for something you care deeply about and where you have a strong sense of what is best for said ‘thing’/system/person etc

I followed the first half of your comment here, about one’s wife, but you lost me on the second half.

Game theory is just that, theory. It is not set in stone. Human actors are variable in their actions/beliefs and so forth.

While the things you say about bitcoin are true in a sense, you leave out the fact that bitcoin relies on variable humans to run and maintain the code, to do the proof-of-work required to manufacture and purchase the miners, to create and build the systems that provide the energy to run the miners.

Even the protocol is code that, while the same at it’s core, has expanded vastly from the original.

I do not see @Ocean ‘s choices as censorship, as I see censorship being something imposed from up high that inflicts punishment on those who disobey.

As I see it, a mining pool choosing which transactions to include is simply one option out of many others. A mining pool is run by humans with opinions and their own beliefs, and they have as much right to create a block template that excludes transactions they deem spam, therefore potentially damaging to bitcoin, as another pool does to including these same transactions, as you do to start your own pool should you wish.

If you have strong principles, letting them go to ‘make more money’ leads you down a dark path

This.

The constant echo that mining is about maximum profit is insane to me.

Bitcoin is not censorship-resistant unless freedom of speech and freedom of transaction exist and are upheld.

When someone demands that *everyone* includes their transaction, they, by default become the ‘boss of bitcoin’, thus centralizing control over the protocol whose main feature (along with the hard cap supply) is decentralized control.

If, in seeking maximum profit, we all let go of all our principles, how are we any better than the central banks?

Just as nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze can decide which transactions to include, each miner can choose where to point their hashpower ✌️

If #bitcoin is to usher in a true free market, that includes the miners being able to mine according to their principles.

Each is free to create their own pool and do the same. Then the market can, and will, decide. nostr:note18v6vdyq3cna2rsgxkne02w3tm2v4jg3smpzjk7vsut7qcjlsrglsvcjz3c

👌👌

Thanks, zapped!

What would you say is the largest group currently possible on SimpleX and Matrix?

Frikkin love this, thank you nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s! 🙏🔥

Main reason I stay on twttr is that many people I interact with are in places with expensive internet/data, which makes it prohibitive for them to use #nostr nostr:note1jusqgrtfeem0eh87ntvhdkw73d7c4n0am3xs2ss2evjwkqfdhjdqh6ehry

Thoughts on nostr:npub1exv22uulqnmlluszc4yk92jhs2e5ajcs6mu3t00a6avzjcalj9csm7d828 ?

Also, in case anyone reading this doesn’t know, Telegram is *only* encrypted in the Secret Chat setting, and group chats cannot be encrypted at all

Yes, just be sure to tell people to flash the Jade firmware before setup, since the device is vulnerable to supply chain attack as demonstrated by nostr:npub17777777tpz9x2dcvvlw37sgk5gmpffexl0u30gjjgcd59ty92vrs0atnu0

While it may not yet be an issue, once ngu hits, and being that they use third party retailers, it could become a problem.

I spoke to Drew and Pablo from Blockstream at Unconfiscatable, and Pablo said they are working on improving security, to create a way to verify you have the original chip before setup.. no timeline on the update yet.

Thanks for posting this nostr:npub1ars5ljjk0xj4ehdy8yj73hcc6kk5q4yz6suzfqlma4w4yn5r86wsg6ucel

⚠️Tldr; If you used less than 15 dice rolls for a 12 word seed when creating your wallet, it does not have enough entropy to be considered safe and you’d best move your funds to a safer seed with higher entropy immediately.

As always, DYOR, do your own research and only use setups that you *understand* and are *confident* using.

Be safe out there 🧡 nostr:note1zwvmdgeyazzmjs257h340wx3cg6z0ajklv0zwmsulalpww8t2z7q0c60d3

Uh oh, what happened last night? 😂 All seemed well when I last saw you

This is the first pool offering StratumV2 now right?! nostr:note16wjc6sx9shrvuchwg6kw8a3lpp705shehvjnalphyjev57cu24ask86t8v

Darwin would be in disbelief 😅

Excellent delineation thank you
