⚡️🇮🇪 NEW - Conor McGregor has officially announced that he will run for President of Ireland.

I still think multisig is the best if you can manage the complexity of storing the backups in different locations. Seed XOR is also another good way to do that as well.

Spending a few hours tonight going through my fiction writing and seeming where I can change passive voice to active voice, like removing was/were wherever possible. A bunch of tiny little sentence tweaks to tighten up the prose.

One of my early run-throughs was to search for "ly" and see what percentage of adverbs I could eliminate by using stronger or more precise verbs. And now this run through is meant to increase the ratio of active voice.

As a benchmark comparison, Brandon Sanderson used the word "was" as about 1.2% of his words or less in the Mistborn trilogy, whereas I found it to be 1.5% of my fiction writing.

What sound does a witch’s car make? Broom broom!

How it started…

How it’s going —

I’m tired of the Twitter posts fanboying over nation state purchases.

It’s relevant for macro and price, but I get it. Most people keep re-posting it for engagement. I only need the key articles.

I don’t want to focus on that. I want the juicy stuff.

I’ve focused attention here a lot lately, but in case I missed anything, I invite you to tell me what I should analyze and then broadcast on my site and on Twitter/X about privacy, tech, taxes, and so forth.

Decentralization doesn't matter until it does.

If your wife isn’t concerned about how much you put into #bitcoin you’re not stacking hard enough.

Fiat price is just a small piece of a much larger puzzle of what #Bitcoin stands for. Take a step back, breath, zoom out, DCA and HODL.

What’s the most “fiat” thing you do?

I will go first. I like to read celebrity gossip tabloids on the toilet.

I know it’s all fake and meaningless, but I still find it entertaining 🤷‍♀️

JUST IN: Bybit CEO confirms the crypto exchange has been hacked, $1.4 billion $ETH and $stETH stolen.

This is now the largest crypto exchange hack in history.

Well all disagreements are two party events, but if one person makes the first move, then the other disagrees I guess.

Each time money flows from one side of the channel to the other, there is a possibility of a disagreement. That said, until both parties agree and have signed transactions backing that agreement, nothing has officially happened.

So let's say, you want to update the channel, 500 sats from me to you. I get your request, I disagree. My node is handling everything in an automated fashion and really it disagreed because something about your request was not following the expected rules of engagement.

Instead of "negotiating", it just decides to break the connection ASAP and broadcasts the latest transaction it knows that your node also agreed with. Since the nodes never agreed on this new balance change, what is broadcast to the network IS the last agreed balance.

Also, if this dispute was part of a chain for someone to else's payment, that person's payment aborts and their wallet tries again finding a different route.

Until you close a lightning channel, the balance between you and your channel partner is private information.

When you close the channel, the funds need to be split between two addresses. So at that point it is known on the public Blockchain what the split was... 50/50, 20/80, 90/10 etc.

Currently I’m stuck.

I have a strong belief that Christianity is powerful and that I only want to live in a Christian society while also not believing that it’s literally true.

So far I haven’t been able to rectify this

Nostr is a gold mine for like-minded brilliant fucking people

Very powerful.
