but how do you connect the raspi zero 1.3 ? 👀 or is that a joke I don't understand 😅

101 on identifying Feds with ease.

Is pro tax

Is pro KYC

Is anti Monero

Combining at least 2 of 3 increases the probabilityi of someone being a Fed to >90%

A new higher denomination banknote is circulating in Argentina as of today:

🇦🇷 10,000 Pesos.

It has a value of approximately USD 10.

A 20,000 Pesos note will circulate soon.

One of the impacts of an annual inflation rate of 290%.

Regulators attack the #privacy of Blockchain

The best known first attack began when a developer was arrested:

—Tornado Cash

Then a service was closed by FBI:

—Samourai

Then 3 services were closed by their owners:

—Wasabi Coinjoin

—Trezor Coinjoin

—Local Monero

The beginning..

Yes, right my post is confusing. I was referring to human-sybil resistance. Blockchains preventing for one human to run several validators.

#Bitcoin needs to grow its circular economy. Unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to convince a merchant to accept #BTC if it doesn’t already do so. The solution has to come from bitcoiners who sell goods and services. Make it clear that you accept P2P bitcoin payments. Offer a discount to your customers for paying in Bitcoin. By doing so, you are part of the solution. Waiting for Bitcoin to be adopted is not going to make it. We’re running out of time. ⌛️

With the recent shutdowns of #SamouraiWallet, #LocalMonero and other services allowing to obtain KYC-free cryptos, I think that #sybil-resistant blockchains will be a prime alternative for the #plebs to grow their cryptos holdings KYC-free. The reality is that on and off-ramp to fiat will be soon restricted and definitely forbidden for non-KYC #crypto. A sybil-resistant #blockchain can allow you to obtain KYC-free coins that you can then exchange for #Bitcoin or #Monero. The best part is that these blockchains don’t even require specialized hardware or resources (besides a little bit of your time). Spread the word far and wide and I’ll be happy to share an example of blockchain that can be used for this purpose!

#monero Thoughts on a Modified version of the 51% attack ?:

What appears to the community to be "seperate" Pools "collude" to push a fake chain. They take small bites here and there, reorg notifications go unnoticed by observers over the span of weeks or months.

Purpose ?: Non-economic, to undermine confidence in xmr.

Related to but not the same as the CPU argument against XMR, (that it would be cheap to covertly buy the amount of CPU power it would take to dominate XMR, compared to buying the amount of ASICS needed to dominate BTC hash)

There are two general motivations for hash dominance: reorg and censorship. I've read about how the censorship of specific transactions is unlikely due to homogeneity, but that leaves the other motivation.

Please point me to any work on this specific attack scenario, not the other similar scenarios that are not this one, i've read up on those.

Bonus question: Does the annonimity of the protocol make a BTC type "warp attack" less discoverable on XMR, whereas in BTC we get a weeks heads up ? (Look up "optech warp attack btc")

Appreciate technical replies as questions about Monero (due to spam and shitcoins no doubt) have few places to be asked. IRC is a mess of matrix stuff and the sub Reddit is censored.

The bond market used to be the smart money, and despite the fact that the era of that is long over, it still rides on that reputation.

And mainly why it is over is that it’s just too damn big. The sheer amount of supply outstanding, and the sheer amount of supply coming to market every month, means that even the smart bond trader hedge funds who can forecast and position for things aren’t big enough to move the market much. Instead the bond market is a titan that moves in real time based on flows. The bond market is a laggard now, not a forecaster.

They’re all seagulls at this point.

Spreadsheets with View permissions for one group of keys and Edit permissions for another group of keys is frying my brain at the moment.

The good part is that once this is done, any replaceable event in nostr can have these collaborative features and can go back and forth between all these modes: single-user private, single-user to private group, multi-editor to multi-viewer, to fully public.

All with just a few changes to the tags. No need for NIP46 or any shared signer setup.

I fell asleep at my desk and had a dream that someone said pistol brace and it scared me so bad I jumped up and started blasting just to be safe... We are hiring now!

Not true. Cross input signature aggregation makes coinjoining cheaper than a single party transaction. It's a soft fork that's activating in 2 weeks.

Name a thing where the more money you pay the lower the quality of the service that is delivered.
