Not trying to interject but, it’s just a fun experiment with anonymous, custodial bitcoin. Eventually we’ll need these experiments to bear fruit if we’re going to live in a fully-bitcoinized world.

Have you seen anyone use Damus? I kinda thought it would come through as a DM 😅

Node runners, you are the regulator now nostr:note1ce5clylwcuvwufpn7u7899u9ysa96n8c6hl7faq9hkvxtxzappds2wcewd

I got someone to pay me back for something with lightning sats using his strike account a few days ago.

It was his first bitcoin transaction and he was really impressed.

Wow, I can only imagine how much code is required to make such a realistic physics sim work! Well done!

His thesis is a mile wide. Dive an inch into it and you hit its insubstantial bottom.

That said, if it can convince a few people that bitcoin good maybe that’s ultimately worth the hassle.

So how are you today

😂🤣

Sometimes I think Elon maybe isn’t sacrificing human interests in favor of his own. Other times i feel nearly 100% sure he is.

But one thing he is doing is getting censorship and censorship resistance talked about. Love that.

It’s $10 that went from your account to a specific place. And depending on what they know about that place that can give trackers information about you that you don’t want them to have - including information that is untrue or you didn’t know but may be assumed to know (or at least not assumed to not know)

“Receiver

Senders may jeopardize their privacy when sending payments if they’re not careful, but receivers are even more exposed. It all begins with the invoice, which has the receiver’s public key embedded in it. Everyone with access to an invoice can easily discover the associated node.” - and keep in mind that Strike has the invoice you used to send the money

Would it be? I don’t think they are assuming the destination is always you. Just because the recipient isn’t always you doesn’t mean the KYC is broken. At least if “breaking the KYC” means zeroing out the useful data they are getting about you.

They may be able to figure out things about you based on where it’s going, the amount, the timing, the frequency, etc if they have figured out something about the destination. You may be investigated because of your military relationship with that person.

It’s the same reason chainanalysis thinks they have a good product even though one hop technically breaks their KYC too: because one hop is more than zero data, and put a few of those together (or many) and you start to have significant insight into what is happening (or at least so they will claim)

Yeah because strike sent it they can associate the destination with the sender identity

You’d enjoy this simulation

Starship? Or have the starlink satellites been falling?

Love to see Nostr at the top

Probably because it takes 64 bits to represent a sat (or any amount small or large)?

Values are 64 bit little endian integers

Punching down flex: I’ve read more than he has 😂

This view of me as potentially as unfree as she claims causes me to feel unsafe, insecure, and to feel such deep discomfort that I feel I cannot live in peace.
