Except government bonds. Just don't ask how they get repaid :-)

Somewhere in #Norway

The only "strategic Bitcoin reserve" the US government is actually implementing is collecting KYC on all holders. nostr:note146nlu65g7zvnk5afu980lsla0yvvjf97gxtrdc92zl3prevstzdq6d0ew2

Who do I nag at Njump.me to refresh the profile picture cache?

Continuing my big buildings with trees collection, this one is in #Hamburg

Well, the crash happens when I load the wallet after a restart. Not upon receiving coins. But that means I have to create a new wallet, import the keys, and rescan the chain every time I shut down the node.

Yolo... managed to compile a very, very, experimental branch od Bitcoin Core that can receive silent payments ... and then crash.

Added the address to my BIP353 - there's always a chance coins sent there end up in the ether. And I don't mean swapped to it...

To take the example of a fair coin toss: what looks like 50/50 odds classically may or may not be 50/50 odds quantum mechanically.

Or in programmer terms: all classical random number generators are deterministic. The question is whether classic random number generators always rely on (a multitude of) underlying quantum random number generators to produce their result. Or whether they just seem random enough to us but would be just as much without any quantum effect.

Afaik it's an open question whether in an event like the statistical distribution of all bullet trajectories as we know it classically (e.g. based on some aerodynamics model) is even remotely similar to the distribution of quantum states.

In others it could be that all classical variation boils up from little quantum fluctuations. But it could also be that the vast majority of quantum fluctuations led to the same result. If you then go further back and time and run the simulation again, because the next most dense group of multiverses might be one when he didn't fire the shot at all.

A few months ago this was brought up in a Sean Caroll AMA.

First question would be if there's a NIP for that. Obviously it's up to relayers and clients to actually delete it, so such a feature might give a false sense of security.
