Bitcoin & đŸ«‚ Oh and dimly trying to think through interesting issues. I think that I don’t have a right to force you to do anything other than not harm me or others. Seems like most people I interact with in the real world disagree with this statement. To be fair.. the devil is in definition of “harm”.

I loaded up my enuts wallet with some nuts and then tried to transfer it back via lightning and it’s telling me “token already spent please try again later”

I get the same thing when I try to send ecash

Am I doing something wrong?

Though they’d need to capture the KYC records office to pull that off. I wonder if anything like this has happened before.

Another reason is that the number of square meters per person has gone up. At least in the US. Bitcoin for sure is rare though. There are few things as hard to produce as bitcoin. And I think nothing as hard to produce while being so useful.

He said “non-custodial” not “non-ruggable” lol. I had to think about that one for a minute

Unless we can agree on an objective meaning of “important” I’d say definitionally that you’re right and wrong?

This AI production is probably “important”, being the first AFAIK to win an art competition.

If AI creates some art - let’s say a painting -depicting the death of the last human, if it were to do that, and broadcasts it across the universe and carves it into each new world it visits, that would certainly meet my criteria for an “important” work.

Today, where even horses are not economical for most heavy-bag-movement-use-cases, we find *people* carrying heavy bags long distances.

I think creativity will be the same. Most of what we think of as economically-relevant “creativity” will be replaced, some will remain, and plenty of economically-independent or tangential creativity will keep being done by humans to scratch the human entertainment / inspiration itch, at least insofar as that itch requires that humans be the scratchers. I’d guess this is a smaller percent of the demand for creativity than the romantics think.

Hate to see it. Inevitable though. nostr:note19d0684z0tmm59u4pwm6e86qjvj9gq62t0mwx4vredsm75a8fq0cqdqs5el

nostr:npub16rnwgfqa06nrr0u34p6zufpyy46vjxns8xgjjxftuxuvuzz0ckxq3znp07 this really is the crux I think. Would love to hear your thoughts. If you’re ok with using email, printed photos, iPhone/android, concrete roads, cars, dollars, I like the electricity example
 these are all tools used extensively by the people we detest for purposes we detest. We don’t even think about using any of them daily because we all either haven’t considered what they enable (likely, cuz hey, they are the status quo), or have actually decided that the benefit is worth the cost.

It’s easy to only think about new things critically.

Agreed.

What is anger? Where exactly do you feel it? Can you see yourself being angry from behind yourself? Often people are angry for hours never being aware of what it is they are actually experiencing. Sometimes they notice the experience as just an experience and the emotional content is washed away by awareness and curiosity. đŸ«‚

I hear you and that’s a good point. I think I still disagree. 72B still lets 10% of current txs through! 8T every 20 years would only allow them to bring transactions down to ~2% of current rate. Fees would be &$$&, ecash in a given mint would still be free. I suppose the mining industrial complex would lobby for that money, but we wouldn’t have any boys to immortalize for their sacrificed lives. No football stadium flyovers cuz ASICS are boring. Just data centers consuming loads of electricity, creating relatively few jobs, costing tons. There environmentalists would be absolutely extinct over the amount of CO2 or what have you being pumped into the air/earth Maybe I’m wrong about this.

Oh, hey, “they” might actually leverage it to finally commercialize fusion 😆

That guy is a little kookie imo. Heavy on big sounding stuff. Loose on details. How much do you think they are willing to spend to dos bitcoin? I can’t see them ever even trying knowing that the entire current US budget would still let transactions with faaat stacks of fees slip through.

What would that do? It would cost about 72 billion dollars a year today to cut the tx rate to a tenth of current assuming other miners kept mining. Transactions will still confirm fees will be juicy. Ecash btw on the same mint would be untouched. Would probably explode. Harder for me to say what Lightning would do.

And we’d probably see it coming from a mile away because nobody would be able to buy miners for a long time.

Huh. YouTube was ranked by
 some people as being the least “toxic”. Seems like most of the problems with social media are with how people use them.

Someone could write a bot for Nostr that gives people hints on what they could change to meet whatever their goal is. Let’s say their goal is to be X% positive in their replies.

Or it could say “hey, you follow a lot of people who post things that often cause people to ____, consider unfollowing ____ today”

Stuff like this makes me giggle sometimes
