The clearest path into the industry.👇

Yes exactly!

You could encrypt the output descriptor with any of the involved keys, upload to blossom, and then anyone who has one key can hey the descriptor back.

I does currently need to be side loaded. You just download the file from GitHub. Verify it if you want. Then click side loaded and select the file. I was able to do it via iPhone within a few minutes.

It allows you to run multiple instances of garbageman. It emulates libre rely but doesn’t actually rely the spam.

It’s basically a Sybil/eclipse style counter-attack on libre rely and Core V30.

Paul has some videos that explain it.

I told you Zcash is the revenge chain against the current mental derangement in Bitcoin.

Just like Ethereum was the revenge chain for builders who were fed up with the block size war in 2016-2017.

To many investors, Bitcoin is not sound money digital energy banana. It’s a tech stock which promises to accomplish the goal outlined in the whitepaper: peer to peer electronic cash.

If the goalpost shifts from “let’s make bitcoin the ultimate form of money, with contracts, fungibility & quantum resistance” to “Bitcoin is already perfect, let’s fight about jpeg inscriptions instead”, investors will notice and try to minimize their exposure to risk.

So far, Ocean mining has been the most destructive actor in Bitcoin since Craig Wright. The hatred, infighting & division they caused will take years to heal.

Meanwhile, Zcash is just building stuff. It’s technologically interesting, way ahead of its time, but still familiar thanks to its Bitcoin roots.

Zcash is bringing devs on board to work on privacy that scales to billions of people (Tachyon). Zcash is working on shielded assets (imagine stablecoins that are truly censorship resistant because you cannot know who sent them, to whom, and in which amount). Zcash is the Bitcoin we were promised more than a decade ago, refined and improved over the years.

While Bitcoin is dangerously stagnant, Zcash is evolving. And investors love throwing their money at something that’s vibrant and promising.

Haters will point out that Zcash was dead until a few months ago. Well, that’s also when bitcoiners lost the plot. Think about it.

Also, some of the same things that were being said about Bitcoin in 2013 (that it’s persistent, mathematically sound & usable as both a store of value and a medium of exchange) can be said about Zcash too.

There’s a lot of virtue in not giving up… and this industry provides more incentives for developers to pivot to new VC-funded projects. But the Zcash team has been consistent over the last 9 years and honestly deserves this influx of users & developers.

It’s fine to be in denial when confronted by new information. But don’t let any ideology blind you. In 2017, it was infighting bitcoiners who guaranteed Ethereum’s status as the number 2 coin. Eight years later, some of the same names are causing an exodus to Zcash.

There’s also a narrative shift that’s going on, with privacy (something bitcoiners of today fear) becoming more important in everyday life. A decade ago, financial privacy was for paranoid nerds. Today, it’s what billions of CBDC forced adopters need.

Embrace the change, or else stay zidelined and bitter. Either way, you can’t say nobody tried to explain to you what’s happening.

Leider noch nicht per QR Code. Aber man kann z.B. einfach per Micro USB Kabel den Specter mit dem PC verbinden.

Ich bin gerade an einem Video über SeedQRs dran.

Was darf auf keinen Fall fehlen?

1.) It is always possible to store non financial data in Bitcoin. Pubkeys have to be stored and pubkeys can be jpegs. And there is no way to tell if they are jpegs.

2.) storing jpegs in pubkeys is expensive for anyone running a node. Since there is no way to tell it's a jpeg and since it can be possibly spent later, nodes have to store the outputs in a data structure called utxo set forever

3.) if there is a way to store the jpegs in a way that tells node runners "you don't need to keep this shit, it cannot be spent" and the sender pays the miners for it anyway, it's better to provide this options

4.) filters don't remove jpegs, they move jpegs to option 1 which is worse for everyone

5.) because of 1, there will always be jpegs in Bitcoin.

6.) because of consensus rules allowing mining of longer jpeg outputs, the filters won't do chicken shit. If someone wants to store a jpeg, they find the cheapest way to do it. Normally people put the tx to a shared mempool and miners mine whatever is most profitable from the mempool. But if nodes are stubborn and don't relay, and miners want to make money, they will make it possible for another way to submit a tx that will make their operation more profitable.

As a result of these, you should be running Core v30 and block filteroors on social media to keep your sanity.

The fence already has several huge openings and dogs don’t understand English.

I’m sure you can come up with a better analogy!

Unfortunately, it’s increasingly likely we’ll indeed see more CSAM uploaded to the Bitcoin blockchain.

Not because of a change in Bitcoin Core's relay policy. It was always possible. But rather because everyone started talking about how it’s possible.

The only difference between

a good day and a bad day.

Is your attitude.

Stay strong.

Keep fighting 🗽🥷

Stay humble stack sats. 🧡

I did my best to compress the information into something anyone can read. Might write a proper book too if there’s demand for it.

You should get your hands on a copy of “Bitcoin: Year One”

The November 2008 version of Bitcoin

which Hal Finney & Ray Dillinger reviewed

had 100 BTC/block rewards + halvings every 100k blocks

(instead of 50 BTC/block + halvings every 210.000 blocks)

so the max supply was 20 million BTC

the 21m cultists are batshit crazy
