I don’t think it’s about what it’s being used for (I haven’t seen anyone mention that), it’s about the fact that people have warned about a broad attack vector for a really long time when you create arbitrary complexity, and then a “smart” contract in a literal cold storage wallet got emptied. Thats about as bad as the situation gets and a perfect example that the many claimed “features” are in fact security concerns.

Also because ETH is centralized garbage and that’s what has happened before, they get a small cabal of “important ETH people” together and roll back the chain.

It’s ok, people only want literally everything.

I only used Braiins and I had to make an account. I mean it only took an email, but I did have to go to the site.

I admit to not having used a bunch of different ones to compare though.

BTW getting connected to nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze mining was the easiest thing ever. You don’t even make an account, you just punch in their URL into your miner and use a bitcoin address in your username field… then reboot.

Literally that’s it

You think that the dollar has no value? Rather than recognizing that it’s the best money out of all available fiat?

Am I misunderstanding that statement or are you literally saying that dollars have any value?

I didn’t say gold was still money. It stopped being that in the early 1900s as the environment in which money was needed, became one where gold could provide none of its assurances or characteristics. (A token for gold on a computer screen is no less reliant on trust than any point on any spreadsheet on a random google server)

Bottom line, money that doesn’t hold value means the society that attempts to use it cannot plan for the future. It will eat itself into poverty, gut its manufacturing, eat the seed needed for the next harvest, all chasing the allure of “more activity” at the loss of any real foundation.

To the contrary, money must, above all else, hold value, or the society that uses it will have no future.

“Keep reading.”

It’s a combination of the 2. It’s the value OF the trade network. I never said it *replaced* the value, to the contrary, I said it must be able to hold the value relative to the amount of economic network it can sustain. If it can only hold small value, it can only build a small trade network. If it can hold massive value, it could sustain a massive trade network.

In other words, it holds the value of everything available FOR trade today or expected to be in the future.

But it is inaccurate to say that all the value of society and its goods remains even without the money, because the overwhelming majority of the things we value is because it is part of a massive trade network.

Example: A car isn’t worth anything without money, because there is a globally spanning mining, shipping and refining infrastructure to get gas to a massive, complex network of gas tanks and delivery stations that are within driving distance of everyone else in the network. Without money, that coordination and delivery network is deader than King Tut. And your car is worth about 200 miles before being little more than a heavy tent. Most of our goods are only valuable because they are part of a trading economy. Without that trading economy and the distance it spans, many of our goods are worthless. (Think a smartphone without internet or electricity)

All 3 of the items in your list are logically circular and you don’t even realize it. “Stable” against what? Risk as measured how? How much resources and how do we know where they are needed?

Not only are you wrong, your points remain entirely dependent on my above point being correct.

Money’s primary purpose has always been to be able to hold the value of the entire society, and not break.

Literally every other thing we associate with money, or feature we wish it would provide, is either meaningless or doesn’t work at all, unless it can achieve the above.

In fact, the variable ability to accomplish the first goal, is exactly what ultimately limits the size of the economic network.

It’s why cowhide only ever work in small, disparate networks. It’s why glass beads failed after the European and African continents were connected. It’s why gold is the only thing that ever became a globally spanning monetary base, because a gold bar lost 500 years ago is the EXACT SAME gold bar today.

Exchanging value doesn’t matter if it isn’t expected to carry it. Payment speeds mean nothing if the cost to undo the payment is trivial. Privacy is of no purpose if there is no trustworthy value to protect.

Before anything else, money is a tool to protect value at a scale that no other good can match. And it’s very possible that Bitcoin is the single greatest system for scaling that capacity. Because the bigger it gets, the BETTER it is at protecting the value stored in it. Rather than diminishing with size, it actually compounds.

Yeah it’s not that good. Decent for troubleshooting, but the more complex the environment is (python being the perfect example) the more likely that 2 of its steps will help, and the 3rd will break something completely unrelated

I commend you for making it that far 😂

Python and python environments and conda and all that shit are the most infuriating and unintuitive bunch of garbage.

I cannot even count the number of times I get random errors, have to uninstall and reinstall something, that some package is just “missing pygutil” or some shit despite my having done nothing from the last time I ran some app. And the process of finding and correcting it is such a convoluted mess that Ai can’t even make sense of it 80% of the time.

I swear it’s broken more often than it works. I must have installed all of my python based Ai stuff 4-5 times EACH because of some nonsensical python error or incompatibility with one of its versions.

The only thing that I installed once and it has worked the entire time, is Whisper… and guess what? It’s built in C++ and doesn’t touch anything python related 😒

🤣🤣🤣

True, but its best to do it with large pools of funds.

ie. payment privacy for like $100 to $200 is easy on lightning, but if you have savings of like $30k, you should CJ it and only send to payment wallets or pay out to others in smaller batches. Yes this adds to UTXOs, but not to an extent that should be a problem in the next decade. $10 to move $10K is cheap.

Yeah it would be best to be non-custodial because the payer has all the information about the wallet and node that is receiving on lightning.

Lightning has fantastic *payer* privacy, but bad *receiver* privacy, currently.

Will read

These were the instructions. It says hit the settings and enter your nsec. But nothing comes up

That actually isn’t necessarily true. Sure *good things* can basically always be made bad in large enough doses, but there are plenty of things that are bad in literally any dose, and their damage is literally just to the degree of their exposure.

And in this case, the simple and basic idea of medicating people in the water supply, with *anything,* I don’t care if it’s calcium, Tylenol, ivermectin, who gives a shit. Medicating people in the water supply is fucking bonkers. The idea that a baby is getting the same concentration, that the dosage is dependent on how thirsty someone is, it makes absolutely no sense, *especially* when the substance is known to damage neural tissue and operation.

That one didn’t work for me when I tried it a while back. And it’s also (or was) Safari only if I remember correctly. Maybe I’ll look into it again though. Thanks

Nah its a wallet with bitcoin and lightning... however if lightning isn't available in your area than a VPN might change that... but that's speculation not a recommendation 🤣 😘

One does not have to do it, but its free sats for trying out a good wallet so i thought I'd share.

I already make way more in sats month to month on the debit and gift cards. But the credit card should allow me to ramp up my sats back quite a bit.

Do you even know what a new Jade Plus smells like?

It’s not “better studies.” It’s that the most basic form of scientific rigor to test the consequences has not only not been done, but has been deliberately and actively covered up for decades.

There are enough independent studies to show the connection is unmistakable. The only question is just how bad is it.

Thats right, this is “The SCiEnCe.”

When they have to start complaining about you, it’s because you are winning.

You mean like freeze accounts and reverse transactions? 😆

For the record capital gains is a horrible tax and should be deleted. It’s punishing people for inflation avoidance.

Don’t bring that bad juju in here! 😆

I’ve done a rather ridiculous system of drains and diversions for water around the foundation, plus have a pump for where the foundation drains to outside, and another as a backup that’s inside set into the slab. I’m going to have a small battery backup system as well that will run the internal pump for a couple of days if we lose power.

Hopefully that covers all the most likely scenarios 😅🤞🏻

Yeah, dusty as shit downstairs. It’s a construction zone still
