… is at the same level of importance as the 21 million limit when it comes to Bitcoin’s fundamental principles
(my kids are making it hard to type and I dropped my phone which sen the half typed message 🤦🏻♂️)
This doesn’t have anything to do with the 21 million limit. I only bring it up in the context that the notion of not freezing other people’s bitcoin is
That’s supposed to be *less than* 1000 sats but I’m typing with one hand holding a baby 😆
It seems really dumb to freeze coins that aren’t stolen preemptively that we don’t even know can be stolen. There are vulnerable keys on bitcoin all the time. If anyone has problems with confiscating >1000 sat UTXOs with some proposal like the cat (which I agree is way too far, btw), then I can’t see how freezing coins - not because QC is here - but because enough people are afraid that it’s eminent that we are going to go ahead and essentially cause the very harm that others would be vulnerable to (losing their coins) before the quantum attacker does it.
Nobody is promised that their keys will always be safe. Bitcoin doesn’t promise that there are easy backups or your wallet is secure from any hack or possible vulnerability.
The only promise Bitcoin gives is that you are responsible, it’s permissionless, your coins won’t be frozen for political reasons, and there are only 21 million. The DO have the responsibility to move their coins if QC ever threatens ECDSA, but that has nothing to do with the decision to freeze their coins if they don’t.
We have coins on chain today that we can tell were created from old vulnerable wallets and entropy. They get stole by bots brute forcing those keys. Why don’t we freeze those coins
Of course, but it’s also possible that the form of computing doesn’t exponentially scale either, fundamentally. It seems all the “apparent” scaling has also been just using traditional computing to imitate quantum to make it look like qubits are scaling exponentially like traditional computing.
It’s very possible, that like dozens of other styles of computing that have been tried, where we have found that the only one that scales exponentially was digital computing (von Neumann).
I think because we desperately want to apply the lens of digital computing onto quantum, since it’s the one that has become ubiquitous, we forget that there were dozens of other types of computing that were tried and all hit impassable walls. They could never make general purpose compute, and the best they ever achieved were extremely limited uses that digital computing quickly outpaced due to its simply capacity to scale exponentially.
And when all our major WC progress seems to be us attempting to attach it to tradition computing via “virtual qubits” but they still just can’t factor anything with more than 2 or 3 bits worth of genuine entropy, that sounds like a “we must have an apparent order of magnitude scaling to get our next round of funding, so make it happen” sort of situation to me.
—————
In other words, there’s nothing wrong with preparing, the asymmetric cost of not having “insurance” on this issue is too great to not at least explore all options. But it absolutely is not an inevitability, and the world is FULL of bullshit and it needs to be looked at with an insanely skeptical eye. 10x that skepticism when the proposed solution demands that we **preemptively** freeze innocent peoples bitcoin to “save everyone” from it.
It's already happening. Not at a cryptographically relevant level, but it will eventually get there.
I’ve actually seen, the further I dig into it, that the apparent “progress” is essentially a collection of tricks to appear to factor much larger and larger numbers, only to break it down and realize the genuine entropy in the problem being solved is virtually no different than it was 10 years ago.
The highest *genuine* attempt to factor a number is apparently the number 35… and it didn’t actually work
And what about the innocent people who lose their coins not because someone broke their key, but because the open, decentralized, unfreezable protocol, froze their coins?
Ok this is what I was missing… Nic Carter is going on a shitcoin boxing stream!? 😳🤨
I assumed that but I’m just not getting the connection to Nic? Is he going on a tv show or something?
Do I miss something? What’s the last picture got to do with anything? 🤔
God this is so true. Finally cracked at “SPAM CALL!” 🤣

I was about to say. Aren’t both of those well known pictures already?
“We promised we’d release them!”
[89.2% pages completely blacked out]
“See we kept our promise.”
You should really look into melatonin production and light then, imo.
That’s correct, now I’m just tired all the time 🤣🤣

I'll tell you something, everything I've ever seemed to actually succeed at never felt like I was succeeding. To the contrary, it seems to always feel like i'm fucking up over and over and over again until something starts working.
The most important factor seems to just be keeping at it despite feeling like an idiot and like nothing is making progress... but showing up again anyway.
Correct. I keep it in there until I'm ready to use it, or I have enough that I want to just put it in cold storage. But i leave it as long as I can because my cost basis is when i hit "send."
It wouldn’t mean that you don’t follow people or don’t have followers. It would only be an avenue for someone *outside* of your web of trust to get a post *inside* it.
Again, this is about whether or not pools are building the blocks or not. I didn’t say DATUM would make pools small. Your point is correct, but not relevant.

Running Knots and mining (DATUM/OCEAN) are essential for the decentralization and security of Bitcoin network.
Doesn’t require knots, but yes
1PH dominated by like 4 pools (pretending to be 6) is a concern. 1PH with individual miners constructing blocks themselves, that doesn’t worry me.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking simple scale will protect a highly vulnerable structure.
I didn’t say “Monero is dying.”
Can you point to anything in my post that is at all inaccurate?
Negative. Not once. And i travel a lot

Why do new appliances all sound like old annoying 8 bit video games? I set the temperature on the oven and it does a little jingle like I just got a mushroom in Super Mario Brothers.
This is such a dumb and pointlessly bothersome “tech” trend.
