Lollll Signal has a ton of dependencies on rust crates from a guy working for huawei. I hate modern software development 🤦‍♂️

DEMAND is currently the only Sv2 pool. Ocean has said they want to add it eventually, but afaik don’t have a timeline.

But, more generally, go talk to miners! Explain why this is critical for bitcoin, and, thus, their business. Harass them on Twitter, make sure they hear it.

Folks who are unable to tolerate plant toxins have heightened sensitivity to them, probably due to leaky gut.

I had the same problem for ages.

Suggest cycling megadose l-glutamine, zinc carnosine, lactoferrin, and collagen. Folks in this camp tend to respond well to dessicated thyroid (assuming your motility is poor and you wake up cold).

Of all the plant foods, you *should* be able to tolerate fruit, rice, and potatoes assuming adequate activity.

"Or maybe, just maybe, education should be a right and not a privilege. Maybe investing in our future generations is worth more than protecting the status quo. Just a thought 🤷‍♂️ #StudentDebt #EducationForAll"

Ok boomer. Joe Biden's plan to forgive student debt is actually an investment in the economy, not a burden. Forget the claim of unconstitutionality; no such decision has been made by the Supreme Court. It’s not about violating the separation of powers or buying votes—it’s an effort to correct a system that has long placed a crippling financial weight on young Americans. Arguing that universities will just hike up prices ignores the broader economic benefits and the potential for regulatory measures to keep tuition in check. And let’s not forget, when graduates aren't swamped by debt, they're free to contribute more to the economy, potentially offering a much-needed boost.

How has taproot improved bitcoin? What's the upside to downside ratio on it?

I can understand the calls to ossify (even if they are futile). What is the probability of unexpected negative consequences from further upgrades? Is it a number above zero? I'd rather see base layer frozen but go whole hog on L2s and 3s. Like nostr plus ecash, or supertestnets new LN alternative. Fucking awesome stuff!

...signing off now from the left side of the bell curve.

Potatoes have a place for those who are insulin sensitive and active in physical work and play.

Why should I learn Rust?

I was learning Rust but the syntax is so hard. A lot of new symbols and ways o doing this that are uncommon.

Is it worth it to spend a lot of time in this?

I was asked a while back whether I would be richer if I wasn't Christian. The main implication being that there are so many immoral ways to make money that Christian values prevent. And while I agree that there are ways to make money that are closed off to me, there are also ways to lose money that were closed off, too.

There are a lot of monetary pit traps in the world today. There's all kinds of addictions that can destroy your balance sheet, drugs, sugar, power, games, etc. Christians exercise self-denial muscles through God's grace. So in that sense, I think I've been saved from the many ways in which I could have lost my stack.

To hold is hard. And it requires a lot of self-denial. If you want to hold, Christianity is a sort of super-power.

Something I shared on Twitter, interested in the perspectives here too:

“I want #bitcoin  to do three things well:

1. Send

2. Receive

3. Store

Personally, I’m only interested in development which ensures #bitcoin  does these three things better, faster and more securely while maintaining maximum decentralisation.

All other use cases to me represent a grift on the #bitcoin  system from privileged people who don’t prioritise these three things highly enough.

So many people have worked so hard over the last 15 years to get #bitcoin  where it is, battles against so many powerful forces, yet #bitcoin  survived.

Now we are degrading the #bitcoin  system for non-monetary use cases.

H/t to @GrassFedBitcoin - something we discussed deeply yesterday.”
