Literally. I don’t think there exists any path to recover from this…

Okay that's a bit odd. Must be one of the smaller pools (large UTXO)?

The free remixes tend to be slow, yes. Best to just leave it running 24/7 to get most out of it while improving everyone else's privacy as well.

Yo. I got Alby's Nostr Wallet connect to work in Amethyst and now I don't have to open any apps to zap.

Probably bad for my stack. Decades from now, this will be my pizza moment.

So basically, BirdApp is just going to become one giant Substack-like variant except every other tweet that is shown or referenced will show “please subscribe” to see this content. Not exactly “Free” speech, Elon.

Changing to a new phone is pure pain these days, Nostr had by far the best experience.

Like Bitcoin, It’s one of the only things in your phone that you actually own.

Flabbergasted to what the future hold for other things that will be replaced with ECC key pairs.

I'm try to connect my alby account to Amethyst's Wallet Connect. The first box, wallet connect pubkey, what do I put there?

The same people who argue that we should ignore the Constitution because it was written by white men who don't know as much as we do now are the same who claim that there are more than two genders.

That's the thing. Nothing is value neutral. Just as the "protocol" (laws of physics) allow anyone to burn a forest, that doesn't mean that arson should be encouraged or we should sit impassively while arsonists destroy everything.

The question here might be: is bitcoin an accounting system for humanity or is it a data dumpster where it's OK to write garbage as long as someone mines it? Yes, the "protocol" allows that kind of behavior, but I believe it should be culturally shunned, not encouraged.

Part of the mistake was segwit and taproot in the first place. The people abusing the protocol are taking advantage of the segwit fee discount, which enhances the ability to abuse bitcoin. Bitcoiners were regarding core devs as gods for a long time instead of taking responsibility in their own hands, and now we are seeing the results of that mindset.

I live for the day that Billy flees to his bunker. Not because of nuclear war, but that its not safe for him to appear in public anywhere in the world.

“Purpose” is subjective and is irrelevant. If the protocol has to care about the content of transactions then we’ve already lost. The only way that it can be “abused” is causing centralization (MEV, large blocks) or if miners can’t maximize fee revenue. All else is irrelevant. To suggest otherwise is asking for censorship.
