Someone (the gods?) stalling to delay whatever shenanigans Congress would be getting up to right now. Ideally it goes on forever and America collapses. Sadly that won't happen, these people will do what they gotta do to keep increasing defense budgets n shit 🤮

I can confirm radios are pretty cool

Nice 👌

I'd be more worried about democracy if Trump doesn't get elected since it seems like he'll start a civil war over it

But I don't worry too much about democracy either way, it is what it is

What?

Nah, computers can handle it lol

The data relay network part would be useful as a bigger project for more than just transferring money between people tho

Ivanka subpoenaed? 👀

I support #Hamas ✊

Ew, you want Israel to win?

Cool I guess

It should fix the supply auditing problem, automated tools should be able to track the supply and transaction volume and stuff like with other cryptocurrencies, just not have "wallet addresses" to associate transactions and amounts with

Your wallet becomes a manager for a million little tiny wallets (if you have a million Satoshi equivalents)

However the aspect you say is like "sharding" may not be enough for privacy on its own. I'm thinking of it as basically something like Tor, but with each node always connecting to 2 others to transmit random data to each other at a constant bitrate for uniformity. This would solve issues Tor has with eavesdroppers being able to track traffic, but still would have Tor's issue of there being potential for anonymity to be compromised by malicious relay nodes.

I'm sure another layer of anonymity could and should be added to my design. I think Monero has something to offer there, conceptually.

Pushing anonymity tech forward takes a lot of math, need more brain power than mine.

Again tho, I love Monero because the feds might not

There are better ways to have both privacy and a simple way to audit the supply like Bitcoin.

My idea of a privacy coin would work something like this:

1. Have a network of relay nodes constantly running symmetric data streams for uniformity, randomly routing data through the network in broken-up chunks

2. Have every minimum unit of the currency (every "Satoshi" equivalent) be its own keypair. When a user signs a transaction, it tells the network to generate new keypairs for each one in the transaction and give the recipient the new private keys

3. The public can see the pubkeys for every unit of the currency, but can't see which ones were and weren't transacted together in each block, because of each node in the network transmitting data in separate split-up chunks along random paths

Monero is too hard or impossible to audit the supply of too because of this

Still love Monero tho - because the feds don't seem too fond of it

Imagine the detective like "who could my suspect possibly be"

Had a typo in there 🤷‍♂️

-What guides?

I'd try to be more of a guide to them than any link I can givs them, but I'd mainly want to give them some resources to help them learn about the concept of "open source"

-Where to buy?

Through me or others who have it, avoiding any governmental KYC shit

-How to store it?

I might buy them a trezor, recommend them to buy a trezor, or recommend them to use another cold storage solution with an airgapped Linux computer or something. Sinfully, in most cases, I actually recommend the least sus-looking open-source wallets for their phone, because that's what works in most cases, at least temporarily

Making computers read and write data using vinyl records is definitely one of the coolest things people are working on lately

My favorite thing about them isn't relatable to most people, it's mainly not an audiophile thing about the sound or anything like that. I did a deep dive on all the data storage media's longevity and vinyl has by far the best shelf life. It could be really useful these days.

The downsides in the past were: it's hard to write data to a vinyl record, and it can be worn out more easily by reading from it instead of sitting on a shelf.

However, today there are Chinese toys that can write (horribly) to vinyl records. And there's expensive equipment that can use lasers to read vinyl like a CD without a damaging needle. With a bit of work, vinyl can come back as a valuable backup storage medium for the world.

It's not a coincidence that things developed this way. There's an inherent conflict between something's read/write durability and its shelf life - in principle, the easier it is to record data to something, the easier it is for environmental factors to rewrite that data at random, corrupting/deleting it. So a CD that claims to last a thousand years struggles to do so because it's hard to make it so the data can be written by a tiny weak laser, and can't be overwritten by years of slight temperature changes or anything like that. Cassette tapes likewise struggle with being unable to escape the world's magnetic field.

Every storage medium is a developing technology that continues being improved after its initial release, and vinyl record kept advancing after being "replaced" to where now it might have something to offer again.

Fuck man, digit would probably not hate this post. She might like how I used math words or something. I hope she's fine
