I guess this is like saying you can own a gun but you can't fire it. Which makes perfect sense if you're firing it at an unarmed child playing with legos for instance. But if you're firing it at the gun range... at gun range targets.. 😁

So I guess this is similar to you taking your twelve words to the gun range. Not illegal, but using those twelve words to pay for bullets gets you shot?

Something like that.

This sounds epic. Mind blowingly epic. Im thinking this needs to be a 1 click setup on voltage and Lightning is ready for a 50x merchant adoption.

talk about blob storage

what happens when u search "http"?

whats the top three of such examples that come to your mind first that infuriate you the most?

hahaha holy shit that was powerful.

You should absolutely assume that if you wear a bitcoin cap in the mall that you're risking being recognized as a bitcoiner.

Expecting people to look away to maintain your privacy is obviously ridiculous.

Expecting people to refrain from documenting it, is obviously a gamble you're taking.

Sure you can appeal to people to be classy, as you put it, and not index your face from a "private" (*cough* clearly practically public event despite the technicalities)

Your opsec is obviously your responsibility and if you want to make sure you're not photographed at a private/public event either

- hide your face

- don't be there

The equivalent of the request in your note is like asking the fed to not debase the usd, like, sure that would be great I guess, but im not counting on it.

this is powerful as fuck

Good ol' gary frustrated why we dont just run this thing on an oracle database and slip him an 'sa' login.

Nice try gary.

pls notice that I dont capitalize his name out of sheer petty disrespecc.

try jmp.chat voip numbers and if that doesnt work with google a less cheap option could be silent.link.

if youd like not to disclose your regular phone number that is.

Agree.

I've personally recently begun a journey of finding out what it takes to use my phone in a private and secure manner.

It's quite an interesting project, that I can recommend to anyone eager to learn about the digital footprint.

Buy a google pixel, install grapheneOS on it, and from there, start the project of how you migrate your usual phone usage without attaching your identity.

For me, so far, that has taken me through so many cool services like:

- silent.link (paid with lightning)

- mullvad VPN (paid with lightning)

- namecheap domain (paid on chain)

- proton unlimited (paid on chain)

- proton includes simplelogin which is now completely invaluable to me

- jmp.chat for voip phone service (paid on chain)

- android profiles for phone use case silo-ing

Just generally taking things step by step migrating a phone usecase at a time, taking into consideration what would be necessary to keep private and secure in order to use a specific app or service.

Imagine running a business in a world which is structured in a way that makes honesty and transparency the most feasible way forward.

listen NVK, if I cant play space shooter on this device ionwannit

Looking to try out a VPS service paid with bitcoin.

First search took me to vpsservice.com. It literally required personal identification with drivers license or similar.

Batshit crazy.

Took to searching on nostr instead and will now be looking into lunanode based on your mention.

Thanks.

"If the king knows that paying for a war by outright raising taxes would likely lead to revolution, but that paying for the war via gradual debasement of coinage will not, he can justify paying for his war by relying on that second method. If he and his potential war opponent were both stuck with the first method of paying for a war with extra taxes rather than debasement, the war might not happen"

Truth is, your data which you've voluntarily put in the hands of a centralized service, will either be sold or leaked.

1. Consider if the data is tied to your government identity

2. Consider the impact it will have when (not if) that data is sold or leaked.

Plan and execute accordingly.

In-person purchases outside of regular grocery shopping, I almost always ask "do you take payment in bitcoin?" knowing full well they dont.

Just doing my part to normalize the way that sounds for merchants.

Other than that, I have a fairly large network of family and friends and im pretty much the main "bitcoin guy". Orange pilling, and helping out the infected is absolutely an unpaid part time job.

how and where to are you feeding the data?
