If I call you folks “nerds” on here is it a bad thing because coming from me it’s a high compliment?

I like the nerd fights about which solution is better to maximize freedom on #nostr

#bitcoin is the Most Stablecoin this year... 😅

Some people say's the radiation from BT will damage some of your Brain Cell... 😅😅😅

A public blockchain can't be more private than Monero.

Recievers and amounts don't even appear on Monero's blockchain. They are completely hidden. Senders and transaction IP is obduscated. There is no transaction graph connecting senders and recievers on Monero. And amount analysis isn't possible either.

Monero transaction:

~6% chance Alice sent $[?] to [?]

Bitcoin transaction:

Alice sent $X to Bob

With coinjoin you are obfuscating everything, but all range of connections and amounts are visible. You can be deobfuscated with future data. There is a whole industry around it: blockchain analysis.

You are right though that they are specializing for 2 different goals. Bitcoin is trying to be sound money. Monero is trying to be digital cash. You can save with Bitcoin, and spend with Monero. Doing this virtually eliminates any worries about saving Monero.

Which one you choose

Wired Earphones or Bluetooth Earphones?

I’ve had a PayPal account for a decade and probably never used it. I don’t get what value it actually has 🤷‍♂️

Just getting started at work and monitor decides die, great 👍

Yes, their feelings on Monero has been no secret, which is why I find it odd all these laser eyes are clutching pearls.

They've also been hinting at Monero atomic swaps for more than a year.

Can't blame them if they do. It's a superior privacy tool.

True, it's very easy to look at what they did and cast condemnations. I've thought about this quite a lot, and when I was younger I couldn't even fathom attempting to justify it. I always wondered why they didn't just drop it off the coast or something to showcase what they could do.

Think about this though... it took *two* direct atomic bombings to get the emperor to surrender.

Not one. Two.

That means they saw the absolute devastation and annihilation of the first bomb, and said "nah, we're not phased, we're staying the course". There is no reasoning with that level of devotion.

What would be the next step then? An invasion, more war, more "conventional" bombings and dead civilians. WWII already killed tens of milllions, and it could have easily been much higher.

Not saying if I were in control I would have done the same thing with certainty, but I at least understand the reasoning now.

What's some FLOSS software unrelated to #Bitcoin and #nostr that you love?

Looks like Samourai sold theie souls to the shitcoins. Derp.

People that are good at school are generally good at making justifications for anything and everything.

That's great for anyone that wants yes-men/slaves, not for truly creative endeavors.

School teaches you to pursue approval, not truth. And that's toxic to the soul.

Same. Over the last handful of years I've found myself consuming less and less TV and movies.
