Where were you during the “Penis Butter” incident? nostr:note1whjju8dwdxv8hvjkye9pz5r50awqvgmhwr50k0klzcze5ryr7zjq3hwrq8

Could be just a client side “visible time,” and you just deal with the minor amount of false positives. But basically if you stopped and looked at it for like 3 seconds, it gets locally marked as “seen.”

I really wish my #nostr client knew which posts I had seen already.

It would allow me to search through only posts that I’ve seen to find things I liked, and also to refresh my main feed to only posts I have *not* seen.

I spend quite a large amount of time now scrolling through just to get past stuff I’ve already looked at, and many times it will accidentally reset and launch me way up or even back to the top.

it’s true tho 😂 nostr:note1t96rg2kqnc0n2ms2w2rktyqjpgn8c5jt5umhvcgtc9aczy3adags9fy2pp

In other words they will spend tens of billions to create a worse version of what we built for ourselves, basically for free, and turned into a trillion dollar market already 🤣🤣🤣

TLDR?

A collective, incorruptible record keeping system.

The surest way to turn a difficult social and cultural conflict into one of violence and hatred, is to try to fix it with politics.

So, in Obsidian, my notes would randomly be completely empty. I'd be working on my TODO list, or my current episode's project file with all my links and writing. Then i'd go away from the app to find something, come back, and the entire note is completely empty.

I would have to close the note, open something else, close that, then reopen the original. It would often take like 3-5 seconds, but it would usually come back. Sometimes though I'd have to do this multiple times.

I tried SO many things... today however, I realized i've been using iCloud drive to host all my notes so i could work from the same list on every device without having to subscribe to syncing services.

I was just moving stuff in the file system and I saw the little "cloud" icon next to the Obsidian folder, showing that the content wasn't synced to this device — and it hit me, iCloud is auto removing the files after there is a timeout and only when i refresh it did Obsidian "request" the file again and so it would get reloaded.

Opened Obsidian and my TODO list was blank again, a common occurrence. I clicked on the cloud icon in the finder to download the folder locally, and it popped up almost instantly. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Ever have one of those moments where you had some sort of a regular problem with a piece of software....

- You search it constantly, nobody in the world appears to have this same problem.

- You ignore it, time goes by, you search again. Still nothing.

- You get annoyed and start deleting plug ins, reseting settings, deleting customizations, etc.

- still happening

- ignore it for some more time.

- drives you crazy one day, you delete the app and reinstall. Still happening.

- every update you install and you think maybe... but no, it still happens.

Then one day out of the blue, you are just working on stuff and you see something and it triggers that little tiny 0.5% processing power in the back of your subconscious that's been set to permanently try to figure out what that problem was, and it makes perfect sense, its super simple, and you do a single thing and its completely fixed... ?

I just had one of those moments. 🤣

Demanding of both someone else's time and their money and acting entitled about it is not a "failing" of those being demanded of.

And of course it is their right to say whatever they think, but in my opinion it is of extremely poor character and will only reflect on them, not OpenSats.

Nobody is owed anything, not an explanation, not a thorough analysis of their project. Nothing. Do you even comprehend how much time and energy it would take to do that?

I've not made a claim one way or the other, I'm just pointing out a simple thing we can observe about it's history. I didn't even bring up a security budget issue in the positive or the negative.

That said, the point you make is an interesting way to think about it.

Oh god did you actually put yourself through that?

This was something Steve pointed out to me that I found super interesting.

On chain fees, DENOMINATED IN SATS, are actually extremely consistent across time. And by the same measure are right now the lowest in 12 years... kinda crazy to think about with all the insanity around discussion of fees and how often its THE talking point when 99% of the rhetoric around it literally has nothing to do with the simple facts of the network and what we have seen.

nostr:note1e42r4d5utmpga4z5dx7u2qmq2884ewtw72qfhzgmgxtn9at6p32sd468nr

I was actually thinking about that. I usually am annoyed with the “20 years later” sequels, but that actually looks really good and it’s Burton doing it still and I pretty much like his entire portfolio… so hard to go wrong 😆

Wait is this a real picture? And if it is, how in the hell does that happen?

Paying them nothing comes attached to removing their power. The problem is the power to just pay out trillions of dollars to any arbitrary program. If there is no power to buy, then it won’t be corrupt. And if there’s extremely little power to buy, and it IS corrupt, who cares?

End govt subsidies entirely. End govt programs. Require any program that still has to happen to have a 80%+ LOCAL vote in the area to actually get through. Make the politicians irrelevant, not rich.

JoinMarket, which has been running since like 2013 without trouble, would like a word…

THAT's what I'm talking about.

Half of the comments think I'm talking about apps, and the other half understand what I'm really talking about because they've had to buy a washing machine post 2015.

That said, I do also despise the "subscription everything" bullshit. Ran into that today. I'm just about sick of paying for ridiculous subscriptions just to use an app one fucking time. Or having to sign up and remember to cancel when I'm done, which inevitably means they take two months of pay from me before it registers that i forgot to go back and cancel it.

I think coracle and satlantis are the only clients/tools I know explicitly utilizing this so far. Spam isn’t bad enough for it to be a necessity, but it will be soon, for better or worse.

PSA

This place will likely be overwhelmed with trolls, morons, and angry and bitter people one day soon like all the rest. Muting will be a very necessary tool in your toolbox (and it even helps other with your web of trust), don’t forget to use it before getting angry and fighting with people trying to trigger you.

This is also how you can keep the vibe up indefinitely, curate your graph deliberately. Use the network, don’t let the network use you.

I think it was in Vhina that there was a skyscraper that they built to look like this stupid shit on the left, with tons of plants and vegetation areas all over it, and people HATED it, it was HORRIBLY infested with mosquitos and tons of other bugs that reproduced on the stagnant water all over the building and it was completely uncontrollable. Tons of people who paid ridiculous sums for the condos were then trying to get rid of them for fractions of the price. Not sure what happened to it afterward but I thought it was really funny how unrealistic our views of “utopia” really are. Theres a reason we don’t live in the woods.

I’ll give an example to look into if you care:

Lightning pool can execute any arbitrary code to enforce ownership of bitcoin. Has been able to for a couple of years. It simply uses the Lightning punishment system to enforce ownership. CTV only makes it so you can pre-sign the exits and do it non-interactively… as I explained at the very beginning.

“Smart contract” is a buzzword. Lightning and multisig can do what you explain above. It’s just more annoying and requires more interactions. Are we getting rid of those things because of “smart contracts”?

CTV is not a “framework”, Sapio is. It’s a coding language to work with bitcoin script, CTV is not the problem here and I also think you misunderstand MEV on top of this. There are already options contracts in Bitcoin, it’s already financialized. Also something that you can’t stop. There have been futures contracts for years.

It’s completely impossible to stop practically everything you listed and maybe I’m wrong, but you don’t seem to understand what the *actual* problems with those things are, rather than thinking there’s some concrete line where it does/doesn’t exist and thinking that CTV leaps over it.

Thank you, I tried to search for “Bitcoin Mechanic” like 10 different ways and I was getting annoyed 😂

I suspect it will naturally start with 1 and then end up at a combined 2 and 3 depending on whether the client in web based or an app.

Did you mean to post Alex’s own article on MEV or was the “in case you forgot” a joke about that?

Holy shit, I just realized something else that is actually a significant benefit with stablecoins replacing banking infra that I hadn't considered... stablecoins are a *push* system like bitcoin is. Meaning when you pay for something you aren't giving your personal information out every single time you do so! It really is a lot like the free banking era and i hadn't locked in on that rather important piece of it.

Damn, I wish that had come to mind while i was doing the show. That's another pretty big way that the embrace of stablecoins over traditional banking can be a meaningful step forward, rather than the implied "terrible outcome" that we didn't jump instantly to a bitcoin standard.

Omg this looks so much like my Roxy is just got choked up. Miss that girl.

A #Bitcoin node audits the entirety of the history from the beginning and at all times. It’s all open and I’m sure you know this.

But your argument is essentially the equivalent of saying that nobody has any idea if they ever did their accounting properly because they’re just trusting their calculator… I’m sorry, but that’s a very poor argument that has no value in the real world, only in some silly hypothetical. (I.e. in practice it actually just works very easily)

It would be extremely obvious if a node software didn’t do the simple job of auditing the open #Bitcoin timechain history. You can just look to see if something’s wrong.

Funny that you use that example actually, because something like Monero doesn’t get that benefit. If the BTC audit was messed up you *could* check it very easy on pen and paper. If there’s something wrong with bulletproof or ring signature implementation/value outputs, how long before somebody figures it out? Literally nothing would stand out as obviously incorrect or flawed. 🤔

In addition, all cryptography has a shelf life. If your amounts are separate from the signatures, you can update the cryptography to fix a vulnerable system. Bitcoin can continue to work indefinitely, even if/when quantum computers start to threaten its ownership assurances. Something that uses cryptography to obscure the amounts, however, doesn’t get that benefit. You’d have to disallow any and all use of the old system, essentially a reset, because broken cryptography means you now have no clue how many coins there are. Even allowing 1 old signature becomes a risk to the entire thing. The supply matters first and foremost above everything. Without it being immutable, the “money” doesn’t even exist. This is why, despite all the reasons we’ve wanted privacy in the foundation of Bitcoin, nothing has persisted and the trade off on the long term is too much. It just makes more sense to build it into higher layers, than at the base, unless we can find some way to obscure the ownership of many different amounts within a UTXO that doesn’t threaten the full audit in any way.

(Also I don’t see what note you are responding to, so I might have missed some context)

How is that terrifying? And how exactly have you reached the conclusion that taproot has been responsible in any way for centralizing mining? Are you saying people wouldn’t be using pools without it? Or that mining somehow wouldn’t have been financialized?

I think you’ve equated cause and effect with things that have nothing to do with each other.

Yeah none of it really stops or prevents anything. And the witness discount makes sense because having inscriptions there means it can be pruned by anyone who doesn’t want to store that trash.
