A git diff in a reply sounds neat. I like that idea.

I think you are conflating custodianship with privacy. Any custodian can apply pressure by withholding people's money. This fact doesn't mean anything about the privacy of a protocol.

Privacy is the question of whether someone can deanonymize your activities through some kind of information leakage. Ecash has really really good privacy properties and it is a custodial system.

Judging from this and other conversations I get the impression that you believe custody trumps privacy in some kind of absolute sense. I see a future with blended custody models: transact with ecash, save with bitcoin. Together, these tools are greater than the sum of their parts.

Being an anarchist I'm very reserved about government organization's stacking sats, but nostr:npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a changed my mind. They will come for our money if they go broke, so better to let them mine their own instead of coming for ours.

agreed

The easiest person to fool is yourself.

Pumped for Ross! 💪 I hope he is freed and eventually able to find meaningful work to advance the cause of human freedom. But first, rest and recovery.

Which is gonna be a big problem soon. 👀

Not sure. I suspect they all come out of Taiwan.

Let's circumvent the "democratic" primary process and force an unpopular female candidate to run against a wildly popular misogynist even though we tried the exact same thing 8 years ago with disastrous results. What could possibly go wrong??

This on top of promoting a dementia patient the last time around. Who is running the fucking country? Who has been running it for the last 4 years?

Kamala could have earned my vote by demonstrating leadership and invoking the 25th amendment. Instead, the Democratic party is the equivalent of a McDonald's commercial. You can't govern via public relations ads.

I'm not bitter...🙄 I just hope we can one day return to a place with competent and competitive parties that actually serve the people instead of the elites. I suspect we won't see any significant change until after the money printer blows up. There's just no telling what the collateral damage will be. Will the union survive? Will it still be a democracy? 🤷‍♂️

I just learned there are a whole bunch of bitcoin ASIC manufacturers. I thought it was a thin market but:

Bitmain

MicroBT (Whatsminer)

Canaan (Avalon)

BitFury

Chain Reaction

BitDeer

Inosilicon

Auradine

Zetagig

soon: Block

...and at least 2 more in stealth mode

Bitmain probably has >90% market share.

The Dem's lack of awareness and self-perception never ceases to amaze me. They ran the same playbook as 2016 against the same opponent with the exact same results. Shocked pikachu!

lol, lmao even
