I read that post and thought "man, people have really been fucked in the head by the labels they've been given."

I don't see any of them as competing with each other and enjoy them all. Currently running Leap and Fedora on different machines but have also spent years on Tubleweed.

Some questions... Do you want a rolling release? Do you prefer stability / uptime or having the latest packages? Any preference on AppArmor vs SELinux?

Most conservative and stable = Leap

Latest packages (at the potential cost of stability) = Tubleweed

Fedora for me sits in between the two. Newer packages but still requires the semi annual system upgrades for the major stuff. Every once and a while regressions or other bugs pop up, but mostly stable.

As a crypto-anarchist, how do you feel about borders?

Taking your morning dump?

Llama 3.1 405b summary:

The paper "On the Instability of Bitcoin Without the Block Reward" analyzes the potential instability of the Bitcoin network when the block reward, which is the primary incentive for miners to secure the network, dwindles to zero. The authors argue that in a transaction-fee-only regime, miners may deviate from the default protocol and engage in deviant mining strategies, such as undercutting and selfish mining, which can harm the stability of the network.

The authors identify three phases of deviant mining behavior:

1. Petty compliant: Miners deviate from the default protocol by mining on the block that leaves the most transaction fees unclaimed, rather than the oldest block.

2. Lazy undercutting: Miners intentionally fork the chain to "steal" transaction fees from other miners.

3. Aggressive undercutting: Miners optimize the tradeoff between maximizing transaction fees and minimizing the chance of being undercut by other miners.

The authors also analyze the impact of selfish mining in a transaction-fee-only regime and find that it can be more profitable than in a block-reward regime. They propose an improved selfish mining strategy that takes into account the value of the block being mined.

The paper concludes that the block reward is integral to the stability of the Bitcoin network and that a transaction-fee-only regime may lead to instability and harm the ecosystem. The authors suggest that making the block reward permanent, as Ethereum does, may be a small price to pay to ensure the stability of a cryptocurrency.

Key findings:

* Deviant mining strategies can arise in a transaction-fee-only regime.

* Selfish mining can be more profitable in a transaction-fee-only regime.

* An improved selfish mining strategy can take into account the value of the block being mined.

* The block reward is integral to the stability of the Bitcoin network.

Overall, the paper highlights the potential risks and challenges of a transaction-fee-only regime and the importance of carefully designing the incentive structure of a cryptocurrency to ensure its stability and security.

Really appreciate you looking into it. After updating the app the recovery process worked!

Each round of recovery was much slower than when I was trying this yesterday. Better slower and functioning correctly than faster and failing though.

Both cashu.me and nutstash could not successfully recover the funds from this seed. I like the way their recovery processes automate going through the multiple rounds but cashi.me threw an error and nutstash reported success but had zero funds recovered.

Thanks for helping me out!

"VALIDATION_ERROR

missing or wrong request parms"

...after many intervals of recovery and then hitting the complete button.

What should I do to resolve this?

Thanks 🙏
