FUD:

“Knots is only maintained by one dev.”

Answer:

1) The majority of Knots code is the same as Core, core devs are effectively contributing to knots also. There isn't much of a difference for the essential cryptography functions, same implementation and security as Bitcoin Core.

2) Game Theory - there's no shortage of Luke/Ocean/Knots haters. If there is a problem with it, why hasn't it been exploited yet? You know there are people financially incentivized to take it down.

Suppose there is some ciritical vulnerability in Knots that slipped by the review process. Why wouldn't it already be exploited?

Knots is a high-value piece of software to exploit, surely there are people that would be motivated for political, social, or economic reasons to hack Knots. Knots comprises 13.5% of the bitcoin network, and is relied upon by miners and institutions with high value holdings.

If this theoretical vulnerability exists, why hasn't it been exploited yet? Occam's Razor suggests that no such vulnerability exists.

Trump is now asking for the cancellation of Netanyahu’s trial. Netanyahu for years has been dodging extreme corruption charges and some of the worst conduct as a world leader (dictator). Bibi did this by keeping Israel in a constant state of war and panic buying time and ultimately trying to persuade everyone to let him avoid any jail time while he essentially is king for the remainder of his life.

quando nós nos deixamos sentir tudo o que chega pra sentirmos e não tentamos esconder, negar, reprimir as emoções, somos abraçados por uma transformação e surge um desejo de ação, que, tão sutil e tão integrado, se confunde com a própria ação.

o mais comum é não sentirmos tudo até o fim e nos distrairmos, então esse desejo-ação não chega a se manifestar, fica lá escondido junto com a emoção, gerando sintomas físicos variados.

mas às vezes temos coragem e suporte e confiança o suficiente para sentirmos tudo o que surgir em dado instante, mas há mais uma camada de emoção que surge junto com o desejo-ação, de que tentamos fugir. então reprimimos o desejo de novo.

toda vez que reprimimos esse desejo profundo que nasce de uma emoção plenamente sentida, agimos conforme uma norma social ou algo que já estava preestabelecido como o certo e, embora pareçamos puros e bons, estamos fazendo o mesmo que as pessoas que agem conforme seus impulsos imediatos. as ações de ambos surgem a partir de um condicionamento e uma tentativa de atingir um objetivo, de parecer algo: corajosos, bons, livres... para se sentirem, de algum modo, finalmente aceitos, felizes.

reprimimos esse desejo-ação porque viver essa experiência é viver uma transformação que nos deixa livres inclusive de ser quem acreditávamos tão fortemente que éramos de maneira sólida e definitiva. é viver com uma responsabilidade radical por cada instante e não abandonar o presente em troca de devaneios e vaidades.

o meu exercício dos últimos anos tem sido observar tudo o que não me deixo sentir e simplesmente parar de segurar a emoção, deixando o movimento acontecer naturalmente. mas eu ainda me vejo interrompendo minhas ações em nome de ser boa, dócil, paciente, cuidadosa, desprendida, ou qualquer coisa que pareça elevada. e isso é só continuar agindo conforme impulsos rasos e automáticos, sem presença real. e quando eu me dei conta disso, um caminho se abriu, de ação, de abertura e um desejo de escrever e compartilhar.

talvez ninguém leia isto, mas como é bom voltar a escrever sobre o que me ocorre.

Burn you little bastards!

Has been a while since I joined nostr and once again, I just had some sort of iterative self awareness:

I open my client, read what my frens say, and after 3-4 scrolls I reach to the point I left last time. Maybe I say something, close my client and continue living my life.

This is what a social network is supposed to be even before the internet was invented. I still love this place, thanks to everyone for making it possible.

FYI: human freedom is not an illusion, but a creative participation in a living cosmos 🌀 👀

True story? 👀

I was a bit excited when one of my oldest clients asked me how can they buy some bitcoin. Then I found out they wanted to buy $100k worth of it to get a "free" Porsche. They are targeting a 3x in like two years. It's fascinating for me to watch the flow of information from top to bottom. Fiat rich bitcoin poor are always getting their info from above because how else are you going to get it right, right?

Asked AI what you suspect I look like based on our conversations.

Scary accurate considering I've NEVER given it a photo of myself, but damn I look good. 😬🤣

LFG! 💥 🏴‍☠️

ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW! DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

"hello" is online speak for im about try to take your munies

Dude, yes. Let's start a proper casino.

Is there a decentralized npub version of polymarket?

I'd put a few K on with these odds.

It's all theatre.

💚₿

Leftover cheesemite scrolls, who’s interested?

I bulk batch and freeze 👌🏼

Financial Freedom for me includes having the ability to buy real ingredients for my family.

Then having the time to make a wholesome meal.

Sound money brings back Time & Quality.

All benefiting the reason I do anything - my family. 🧡

(My son asked for Chicken pies, so we made chicken pies. Organic local chicken seed oil free.)

Happy summer solistice!🌞

It all downhill from here you miserable bastards 😉

Picked up my new toy yesterday. A S19 J Pro.

First impressions... It is heavy! Weights about 16kg. Lot more than I expected. It has two power cables. Never had that on anything before. Do I need to plug both in?

Anyone got any setup guides or videos on how to use it? My plan is to plug it in, switch it on, hope I don't blow the house electrics up, plug ethernet cable in, see what IP it gets on the network and try and connect to that in a browser.

No idea what I am doing.

Si 🤌 still learning

🤌

Has anyone checked with Paul - what we're aloud to build?

I was going to build something useful that people might need, but it doesn't seem like it works like that.

When posting a full episode here on Nostr, I post the guests url to all the places they can be found

Do you as audience members like that?

I am thinking to post just the ep and the timestamps, as the post ends up full of links to other websites, and a bit messy

If you want to learn more about the guests you can find more information on my website

Any feedback welcome?

Although rabbits are a huge pain in the ass here, some get let go. This one survived being in two of our cat's mouths (in our house). For bearing that challenge it was let free. Beware though Peter, you come back again you may not be so lucky. 🐇

Do nostr DMs still just generally suck?

Simple joys as a child that I've kept through adulthood.

1. Listening to the rain when tucked up in bed.

2. Seeing families waiting with Welcome home signs at airports.

3. Puppies.

4. Smell of Fresh Grass.

5. Christmas Eve (Childhood magic replaced by seeing the joy of your own kids magic)

6. My parents telling me they love me and or are proud of me.

7. Waking up to snow (when you don't need to get anywhere)

8. A Gene Kelly musical

9. Radiator pants

10. Building sandcastles on the beach

What a blessed life. I hope yours is filled with joy. 🙌🏼🧡

Had a recent experience that is making me think deeply about the "victim" archetype

I've come to realise it's something I've been having to deal with my whole life, with someone very close to me

It makes it so hard, as you are blamed for their emotions, all of which come from the stance "this is happening to me"

When you're worried about how they feel the whole time, you do not really know where you stand, and you self-censor

Tough one to navigate

Projection is perception.

This means that whatever stories you’re perceiving in your mind, you’re projecting in your life.

Detach from old stories. You don’t live there any more. Expect good things. Don’t get stuck in the same horror scene. 💯

People selling the stock of a company thar owns company doesn’t mean bitcoin getting liquidated. I have a hard time seeing any large bitcoin treasury company recklessly buying bitcoin with short duration debt.

There will be a bitcoin treasury company bubble, but it popping won’t necessarily affect Bitcoin.

This is not Terra Luna selling 80,000BTC

Just an observation. Not a judgement.

But Is anyone else getting shitted off by all the “influencers” ragging Vegas yet all falling over themselves to be at the conference. Just sayin’

The state's power is rooted in cultural norms, values, and symbols that reward pro-state behavior, we need to create alternative cultures and systems.

Hmmm. I did.

My battery was flat (ish)

I charged it. Still the same.

Put the charger directly on the genset. Still the same.

I’ve got a new 12v battery for the Tojo in the shed… I might try a higher amp hr battery up it. 👍🏻

I’m at “Imma gunna buy a bird bath” stage in my life. 🥰

Just fired Nostr up after a decent absence.

Functionality, UX seems waaay better 🔥🔥

Another colour now and the flies are loving it (lots of small ones)

This mushroom was growing in the wood chips under a citrus tree.

No idea what it is called
