It's amazing how an administration that was elected to drastically reduce the size and scope of government...

Has EXPANDED the spending and debt of government ... and implemented REAL ID surveillance.

They won't codify DOGE ... which is quickly fading away.

They'll instead codify renaming a body of water.

NOW HAPPENING:

In the left corner, Knots. In the right corner, Core.

Keep it a clean fight, no biting or scratching

Here me out, the major toxic voting incentives can be fixed very easily:

If you receive a subsidy, welfare, handout from the govt of any kind, you automatically lose the right to vote. In no world does it make sense for people who receive benefit to get to vote for those who pay for it to have a greater, coerced obligation to them.

- the spam is real

- the filters don't work

- out of band txs are extremely bad for bitcoin

- mempool should represent what's mined

- jpg's won't use op_return because inscriptions are cheaper

- nothing will happen if we simply don't do anything now

running knots will literally do nothing different. even if everyone was running knots, if you really wanted to get around tx censorship you would just use miner apis instead of knots p2p. They would be incentivized to do this if it earned them more fees.

Once his client has total control, he would be able to hardfork at will: make smaller blocks, censor all data transactions. You could argue this is a good thing if you were short sighted. In reality it would mean bitcoin is whatever luke thinks bitcoin should be. he would rule bitcoin with total control.

This is why we have a review process in core… who thinks luke ruling bitcoin is a good thing?

So this is what it's like to live through an ethnic cleansing that your own nation supports.

The paid-off politicians and much of the public are cool with it.

A history book doesn't capture the experience. It doesn't answer "How are Americans OK with it?"

This is it. They are.

Bigtech is pushing Passkeys so hard on normies who have no idea what they are. I just can't wait to see the headlines when millions of those normies lose access to their online accounts because they just switched devices without backing up their Passkeys.

this is really good intro to some of the math of quantum computers and how quantum algorithms work.

Nostr is, without a doubt, an immensely superior model compared to Mastodon.

However, all the radical leftists, commies, and LGBT clowns still prefer Mastodon, because it's not technically censorship-resistant.

They want to be able to ban entire servers(instances) and users from participating in their conversations, that's the only reason they haven't switched to Nostr.

GM,

If your diet has a name, an identity and a bunch of influencers, it's probably fucking stupid

you click the key under their name, or click the … context menu and click copy user public key. The feedback is kinda borked on the profile copy, we will fix that.

Wow, what happened to him? This is pretty cringe
