Im not doubting its abilities, I'm stating it's critical vulnerabilities.
Who's gonna run a mint to enable what you mentioned after the first one gets shut down?
🤦♂️
The west doesn't work so brazenly.
*More* solutions isn't always better.
*Better* solutions is better.
Look at the shitcoin market. Imagine if all those dev hours and money were poured into Bitcoin.
I have a huge respect for nostr:npub12rv5lskctqxxs2c8rf2zlzc7xx3qpvzs3w4etgemauy9thegr43sf485vg and think he is a prolific builder, but I'm 100% with you on this. It's a distraction from what's important
Contrary to Whitlpool or Phoenix shutting down, when mints get seized people will loose funds (and it won't be small amounts, it will be more than they admit) and they will cry and act surprised.
Yes completely agree on Calle. Always honest and principled. I look forward to buying him a beer and chatting with him again Oslo.

When the first mint runner gets indicted on some bullshit money laundering or money transmission charges, will we finally agree that e-cash is cool tech, but a complete distraction and waste of time for the Bitcoin end goal?
Have a great day 🧡⚡
Still touchy when questioned I see? Shame.
So the answer is 'no, not yet'.
Thanks for the link. Interesting but WAY above my pay grade.
Did you click the link? It's not just them saying crazy shit. The guy got sent to prison.
Does Joinstr have any Sybil protection? I've searched the docs and not found anything.
Fair point. Just wish the screen wasn't so damn big
Lol, been running it for years now
That's my only real gripe tbh. Certainly don't want a much larger screen.
Does the 7a have wireless charge?
Admire your time preference sir!
I'd be installing Graphene so the AI shit wouldn't work anyway

Getting an urge to splurge on a used Pixel 8. No idea why and definitely don't need one, my 6a works fine, most of the time. Talk me out of it!
Have a good one 🧡⚡

90% Bitcoin users are KYC'd up to the eyeballs.
On chain privacy is severely kneecapped.
Mining is heavily centralized.
The ETFs are rug pull tech.
Self custodial LN is a ball ache.
We haven't won, not even close.
Have a great day 😜
nostr:npub1unmftuzmkpdjxyj4en8r63cm34uuvjn9hnxqz3nz6fls7l5jzzfqtvd0j2 apologies if this has been asked before, but do you guys have plans to allow me to connect Fountain to my own node?
Congrats on what you've built btw, I finally gave up my favorite podcast app and switched full time to Fountain. ⚡

Anyone else having issues subscribing to Snort? I press the button, get prompted by Alby to authorize and then nothing happens.

Outlaw mode?
I agree on their intent, but not on the outcome. They only need to make a few examples of people using Bitcoin the 'wrong way' and the majority will fall into line and use their authorized rails. This is not a foregone conclusion like you suggest IMO.

The war on Bitcoin/crypto usage has been stepped up significantly in recent weeks.
What are your thoughts?
Are you working out a new strategy?
Supporting the tools that are still working?
Think everything will just 'blow over'?
Have a good one 🧡⚡

Sad times 😕

GM Nostr ☕
Ive no idea who created this, but it needs sharing far and wide.
Please do so and have a great day 🧡⚡
