Yes, the way I understand it is that it applies to "normies" since for them lowering fat implies lowering seed oils and it may force mitochondria to recycle (autophagy).

I think if you want great health not just a quick hack then simply cutting seed oils entirely together with carbs is better. Reintroducing carbs may be acceptable in some cases but that depends on many factors like the amount, your activity level and your desire to eat them.

Anyway, these all are hypotheses and doing a proper experiment is nightmarishly difficult.

If you want to backup descriptors then yes but is it even a good strategy? Why not just store the descriptors as a digital (possibly encrypted) backup on 20 servers or so? It has one big advantage that if you upgrade your wallet scheme (e.g. to SegWit version 2 presumably with CISA) you can trivially update the descriptors and you don't have to touch backups.

But if you insist on backing up descriptors this way maybe a more viable solution is to hammer just the descriptors using the machine (they don't contain anything critically private) and hammer the seed manually afterwards. This makes the machine securely reusable. That being said you might be able to just get someone to engrave it for you on CNC/laser cutter/... and ship it to you without much hassle.

You should also put a table of how much the cost of running Monero rises with the number of users. In bitcoin the relationship is linear* with number of users. In Monero it's linear* with number of TRANSACTIONS. Huge difference, the number of transactions depends on number of users over time but also amount of economic activity. I estimate it's quadratic or worse with respect to number of users which is a huge difference compared to btc.

*linear - I'm aware of "The myth of RAM" and I know it's actually n*sqrt(n), I used it for simplicity of comparison. With the myth of RAM accounted, it's even worse for Monero as it's something like n^3 for Monero vs n*sqrt(n) for Bitcoin.

What's your privacy good for if you lose the money you're protecting anyway?

It's quite strange how many Monero fans don't know history of it while simultaneously mocking bitcoiners for very similar events. I have the inflation bug in mind. I remember reading about it at some point between years 2016 and 2018, not sure more precisely.

Anyway, good that L2 is finally on the table. Dandelion was considered for bitcoin but IIRC it introduces DoS vulnerabilities. Not sure if Monero solves them or YOLO implements it anyway.

The issue with Monero tradeoff is it will grind to halt once too many people use it. But sure, enjoy while you can!

Some problems you mentioned are applicable to Monero as well (e.g. IP address - just use Tor in both cases ffs) or are hugely inflated.

The biggest one is the ridiculous idea that merely being offline for too long makes you vulnerable. It doesn't. To steal an attacker must predict with very high probability whether you will be online the following x days, where x is configurable being 14 in many wallets IIRC. The attacker must literally predict the future. But I don't blame you, this idea is spread by even the otherwise smart bitcoiners.

Also don't forget that Monero has a bunch of problems. There are serious edge cases that can break privacy and it also historically had a catastrophic cryptographic bug that was luckily caught soon enough.

It's correct that there are only tradeoffs, however most people are not properly informed about all of them.

Dr Berry and Saladino have almost identical viewpoints on everything except one huge idea: whether long term ketosis is beneficial for humans or not.

I personally didn't find the arguments against ketosis convincing, especially because there's something known as "keto calm".

But that doesn't really matter much. What matters is if you've tried 90 days of sustained ketosis that's interrupted only once or twice a day by eating a big portion of food rich in protein. If you tried and you found the benefits worth continuing, then continue. If you didn't then don't.

But why go through all the trouble of building a robot if you can spend 20 minutes punching the seed by hand? Don't get me wrong, it is cool and I wanted something similar for paper backups but concluded it's not auditable.

It might be better under one condition: they live physically close together and all withdrawals are made in person. Otherwise it's strictly worse than self custody because it requires authentication using a secret.

That beef looks weird.

It's a question if people working on Monero motivate people to work on Bitcoin so much it produces more value than if people working on Monero were working on Bitcoin instead. I doubt so. Bitcoin imposes creative restrictions but ultimately, they produce higher quality outcomes. E.g. LN is in principle much better than Monero.

A problem with many hardcore Monero fans is they fail to see the inherent scaling problems of Monero. (Not saying you're one of them.)

Same for full nodes, BTW.

I don't think he meant haters in gym.

Well, some scenarios are more probable but ultimately it doesn't matter. Due process should consider all possibilities. I support fair trial even for worst criminals.

I don't think race and gender is important. All combinations are possible. Surely it can be either defense or offense and we don't know.

Ah, I missed that. Weird that they put worse crime at the bottom. Still the description doesn't inform a) that it certainly wasn't in defense b) how do they even know he really did that.

He should be prosecuted for scamming, not for tax evasion then.

They say it's healthy but it's not.

LOL, soyboy "bitcoiner" 😂

I wouldn't call that "edible"

You need to make more bitcoiner friends.

I hate scammers as much as anyone else but these kinds of posts are antithetical to civilization. The assault is neither mentioned on the linked website nor is there any proof of it. Today people get destroyed by just mentioning such things.

Also tax evasion... I thought you were an anarchist.
