That's some fucked up behaviour. I guess Christmas is cancelled too. Where's the magic? The rough play? The learning by the parent as well as the child? The joint experiences? Where is the love?

800000 just like that.

I guess we can officially start talking about the Halfinning now 😂

Sooner Elon makes it WeChat the better. Forces decent folk to adopt #nostr and leave what remains to the rubes. It was captured years ago.

Can we get this X rebrand across the line soon please? Twitter was captured by the state years ago so nothing to see. Jog on and enjoy freedom tech like #monero #bitcoin and #nostr

A western version of WeChat just drives more adoption to Monero.

Unrelated question, how are your ears after Nolan's latest saga?

Wallet of Satoshi is one giant rug just waiting to happen.

Phoenix connected to your own private electrum server has a UX so clean that anyone can use it. There's still some trust but it's no WoS.

#coldard + #sparrowwallet + tailsOS and it feels like you have god like powers.

Fall; or, Dodge in Hell - Neal Stephenson. Hits different to the usual sci-fi. Thoroughly enjoying it so far.

That restricted my account on the 15th July along with most other nonKYC accounts. Maybe yours is legacy/aged as I had a legacy Poloniex account from 2016 that up until 3 months ago let me trade nonKYC. Same with Bitfinex... let me ride the non KYC train for a long time as the account was aged.

Why does NVK hate #monero so much? 🤔

What's he so scared of?

It's a shame seeing that he builds the best #bitcoin HWW on earth and I use his products everyday and we'll as being a net promoter of coinkite.

If he thinks Monero is a shitcoin then no need for him to get his knickers in a twist as it'll die of its own accord. He's got absolutely nothing to be worried about... right?

That's a pretty crap limit unless you're prepared to handle dozens of accounts.

Where's the go-to now that Bitfinex and Kucoin have gone full KYC #monero #bitcoin ?

Tradeogre very slim liquidity but does get the job done in small part.

Guess next stop is to buy KYC'd exchange accounts

I've been lucky enough to be following my mempool for over 500k blocks. All mempools are not the same and I've grown strangely connected to mine. 800k block on the horizon and the reliability of the network up to this point is worthy of celebration in itself. Next stop is the Halfinning.

Sorry Marty, mempools are never going to clear.

My new signature #zap is 84 sats.

Here’s why:

84 is the two-digit abbreviation for 1984. It’s the year Apple under its founder Steve Jobs released the first Mac and started a revolution in personal computing. They celebrated this with a legendary Super Bowl ad created by the agency Chiat/Day and directed by Ridley Scott. It directly referenced the George Orwell novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, depicting a dystopian future world where a totalitarian figure known as Big Brother has absolute power over the population, controlling their behavior and warping their sense of reality, and one person singlehandely challenging the status quo.

In the almost 40 years since and under new leadership, Apple has transformed itself into everything it originally stood against, and now holds innovators and digital pioneers hostage, extorts value from them, and actively stands in the path of the decentralized revolution they know is coming, are powerless to stop, yet hope they can delay because it threatens their power.

The other reason I chose 84 is because it is a multiple of 21, a reference to the maximum supply of 21 million bitcoin that will ever exist by the time the final block is mined more than a century from now. 4x21 also symbolizes the block halving, whereby the supply of new bitcoin is reduced by 50% every four years. The time between each halving is a period historically marked by a gradual rise then sudden explosion in both the fiat-denominated value of the asset and the attention it attracts, followed by an eventual and lengthy collapse of both. During these times, we are given the opportunity to build new technology, grow our community, and see who stays for the next cycle, and who only showed up for what they thought was easy money.

This time around, we built #nostr, allowing us to begin to unshackle ourselves from abusive relationships with all-seeing, controlling, and corrupt social media and technology giants, and to use #bitcoin as the built-in mechanism by which we reward our fellow users for the value of the content they share. We are not selling digital goods, as Apple says. We are sharing digital good. They don’t understand this yet, and they may never, but in the end, it won’t matter, because in both nostr and bitcoin, we’ve discovered something that can’t be stopped, and will only become stronger as it is attacked. Apps will come and go, but protocols are here to say. I am confident that 116 years into the future, bitcoin will still exist, but Apple most likely will not.

We may have a long way to go to find the freedom we are seeking, but this is only the beginning. We are unstoppable.

“We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it.” — George Orwell

“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.” — Steve Jobs

Shame 84 is a litecoin number but apart from that, a sweet move all things considered.

IMO it will never be private and will never rival cash. I stack coins everyday but always as a store of value. Lightning has its uses such as zaps and that's crazy fun but if I pay for anything that I need privacy the my go to is #monero every time.

The most important freedom tools in the UK that you need to circumvent Uncle Rishi and his failed state:

#bitcoin

#monero

#nostr

#tailsOS

It's really the cost. All my ooendimes are curios and I collect them and the satcards for the art element. Opendimes is around $15 iirc?

This is why #monero just works.

Dynamic block sizing so tx fees are always a few picos at most. As long as you have some churn in your wallet, you are 2min confirmation and then you're done.

Finally I do a heap of research and work on the DNMs and there isn't a single market in 2023 that accepts bitcoin anymore. It's a fully #monero payment environment out there in the digital wild west and that's pretty telling.
