Maybe they are a socialist Trump supporter and are redistributing your 9 excess signs to yards that have none.
Indeed. Also #DatumFixesThis.
I wrote a whole fucking article on why miners should brace for the application of sanctions law under a Trump administration but the TLDR is you're all fucking retarded

It's the end of the world as we know it!
All of the mining pools will have to comply with the regulations Trump puts in place and #Bitcoin will never be the same! /s
In reality, this may be exactly the decentralization pressure the mining industry has needed for a while.
Payday is the day after election day for me. Hopefully it's a "sell the news" event and I can pick up some cheap sats.

Now I use it for everything I do with Bitcoin. On-chain transactions, mempool searches, mining using Datum, and all my Lightning transacting.
It's incredible!
It's time for the annual reminder:
October 31st, 1517 Martin Luther nailed his "whitepaper," the 95 Theses, to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg Germany, sparking the #Protestant #Reformation.
October 31st, 2008 Satoshi Nakamoto released the #Bitcoin Whitepaper to the Cryptography Mailing List, sparking a movement toward sound, independent money in the digital age.
The first date marks the beginning of the separation of church and state, and the second marks the beginning of the separation of money and state.
Ever thought of doing it as a long-form note instead?
Already following you, by the way. 😉
Lots of great information!
I just learned about wildcards and the remove command, so I'll be putting that advice straight into the round file.
Well, I originally installed Ubuntu and a good friend was like, "WTF man! Install Mint!"
Running #Linux on my desktop, finally!
Went with #Mint.
No, I am not soliciting opinions on which is the best distro.
Yes, I know you will tell me anyway.
You would need to set this in your Amber settings.
Any client that supports long-form notes.

Nostr is incredible...
Yes, I have. Very cool server. It's where I first heard nostr:nprofile1qqsx8zd7vjg70d5na8ek3m8g3lx3ghc8cp5d9sdm4epy0wd4aape6vspz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqzrthwden5te0dehhxtnvdakqzyrhwden5te0dehhxarj9emkjmn94n3hjy playing on their in-game radio.
No problem. Sent you a request.
Sent. Let me know if not received. I sent it as a NIP-17 DM.
I do. I'll DM it.
I LOVE this art style you were able to get from Midjourney! Be willing to send some sats your way if you can get something similar for my D&D character's weapon of choice.
Great! No issues so far after initial setup. It definitely makes me feel more involved, since I now go and check to see if it happened to be my miner tjat found the block whenever a new Datum block is found.
Say it again for the people in the back.
The amount of #Bitcoin you own does not give you any corresponding control over the network. The most control anyone ever has is over the code they run on their own node, which will get them forked off the network before it will ever cause Bitcoin to be changed.
You've lost me here. I am not interested in anything from apocryphal books. I am only interested in what Scripture teaches on the matter, as that is the Word of God we are called to pattern our lives and beliefs after.
I'll have to check that documentary out. I have no doubt that governments often have been and are antagonistic against the church.
1 Samuel 8 cannot be thought of as ending the debate. It is only regarding the dangers of monarchy, not the dangers of civil government at all. In the end, God turned even the monarchy into an expression of his covenant promises, establishing David's throne as an everlasting kingdom, which would ultimately be fulfilled in Jesus Christ.
"At best, a state is minimally harmful, minimally... not zero..."
100% agree! However, the same can be said for EVERY kind of institution where a fallen human being is involved, whether that be the church, the family, the government, or free enterprise. The Devil has ample room to creep in to all of these institutions so long as they are made up of men. This is no argument that the institutions should not exist. Only that they should have checks on any one of them having too much power.
Voluntarism is NOT the standard of morality. It can certainly be a factor, but it is not the end-all/be-all of what is right and wrong. How do we know this? Because in the end, every knee will be made to bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord; even those who hate him. God has the right to impose his will upon us, and Scripture tells us that he has ordained the existence of civil government for the restraint of evil.
So... What is it that then restrains the evil of civil governments? I believe it is sound money. Hence, not long after governments broke their last tenuous ties to sound money via the gold standard, God gave us Bitcoin.
"so, in no case does the authority of God come second to any man made authority, ever"
Again, 100% agree! Paul's framing in Romans 13 clearly puts the civil magistrate under God's authority as his "servant" (verse 4). That means, whenever the governing authorities go against God's authority, we are under zero obligation to obey. We must obey the higher authority and oppose them.
All laws are an expression of morality. The question is whether they are an expression of God's morality or someone else's. The only true morality is God's, and therefore civil laws ought to be based on God's moral law. Insofar as civil laws conform to God's moral law, (such as laws against murder, theft, etc) we ought to obey them. Yes, obey, not meek evasion. But insofar as they do not reflect God's moral law, we are under no such obligation. To that extent, the state is no longer acting as God's servant, and we are therefore compelled to submit to the greater authority rather than the lesser.
