At this point it’s immoral to read corporate media content or reference it. Even if it’s to show how retarded their information is.

It feels like we just keep them alive and seeming relevant by mentioning them. Let’s let them die a quiet death.

Thank you

The market for my skills is far bigger with slaveryland included. It feels weirdly unconstructive to exclude a huge group of people to collaborate with. How do you look at walking away?

Looking awesome Pablo, just tried it out. This is definitely one I will have to restrict myself on - going to be too much fun.

I’ll zap you for that 😂

Little essence from the ai:

Essence of the Paper

Complex Consensus Dynamics:

Bitcoin achieves consensus through a non-hierarchical system involving various stakeholders, each wielding distinct powers and incentives.

Stakeholder groups include Economic Nodes, Investors, Media Influencers, Miners, Protocol Developers, and Users/Application Developers.

Consensus Change Risks:

Protocol upgrades, particularly contentious forks, can threaten network integrity through splits and loss of funds.

Alternative clients proposing consensus changes introduce additional risks.

Stakeholders and Incentives:

Stakeholders’ powers and interests fluctuate through the consensus process. Economic Nodes, for example, hold significant influence when new rules must be adopted.

Media Influencers shape early narratives, while Protocol Developers have initial technical control.

Soft Forks and Hard Forks:

Soft Forks: Backward-compatible changes requiring some but not all nodes to upgrade.

Hard Forks: Non-backward-compatible requiring universal adoption to avoid splits.

Future Scenario Considerations:

Alternative clients may pose a route for implementing changes but carry considerable adoption risks.

Factors like Economic Node adoption rates and bounty sizes can affect chain split risks significantly.

Precedents and Proposal Evaluations:

Historical analysis of previous upgrades, such as Segwit, informs current understanding.

Recommendations for stakeholders involve evaluating changes through benefit analysis, activation mechanism assessment, and alignment with Bitcoin's long-term principles.

Measuring Consensus:

No single metric reliably measures consensus. Various signal analyses from stakeholders provide a fragmented measure.

Improvements might involve better transparency or prediction markets for protocol changes.

Recommendations:

Stakeholders need a structured approach to evaluate proposed changes, looking at benefits, community sentiment, historical precedents, and technical evaluations.

The paper aims to provide stakeholders with analytical tools and frameworks for assessing consensus changes and understanding the risks inherent in protocol upgrades. It also underscores the importance of clear communication and robust stakeholder involvement to maintain Bitcoin’s integrity amid evolving challenges.

A third of my country is under sea level and the government has been putting holes in the dykes across the country. Supposedly for some fauna reason and to make the dunes behind the dykes wider. I have no knowledge on this topic so I wanted to see if there is some amazing knowledgeable nostrich that knows more or can point me in the right direction?

What’s up with this? Feels kind of dangerous at first glance.

I think Turismo is referencing working directly for Bitcoin, right?

This topic has been puzzling me as an entrepreneur, still doing the majority of work in the old systems. nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe ‘s book has me looking for a way to navigate these transitions personally and with our company. I salute all the companies like nostr:npub1ex7mdykw786qxvmtuls208uyxmn0hse95rfwsarvfde5yg6wy7jq6qvyt9 and nostr:npub15369wu3wzzar5fclhecyqfv683x69n6nhlg7rxqnsg2dydgxflpq3apswl that manage to operate on a Bitcoin standard. But also they work with the legacy world where needed right?

My intuition tells me that excluding many potential customers slows down the transition to BTC. Specifically, when compared to the approach where you serve the most people as possible. Regardless of what they pay you in.

It looks somewhat like saying “I am not willing to collaborate with most of humanity until they adopt a bitcoin standard”. This would slow us down more than necessary it looks like to me. What if we just 100x outperform everything as individuals and organisations? Wouldn’t that create far more proliferation, faster? On all fronts; from SoV, MoE to UoA?

Is the fundamental question “what approach creates the most demand, without jeopardizing the degree of decentralization and security?” Currently I think we work with clients from the legacy system and use BTC as a SoV for the created surplus. Aside from that we do anything we can to switch to decentralized protocols where possible. But I am unsure if I’m missing something. Should I look at it differently?

How is that thing? I’m so curious about that one

I don’t know the answer but wasn’t the point of the system to optimize collaboration between people that don’t trust or like each other?

I get the concern and I can’t help but see it as a step we would’ve encountered anyway. But maybe Satoshi was right about the attention of wikileaks being too early, and BTC’s exposure was indeed too early. Perhaps we haven’t been round’ about and sly about it enough.

On the other hand, bitcoin is not at a helpless stage either.

‪How can they possibly measure inflation reliably in one number? They can, and are, making it say anything they’d like. And then still they propose to take 2% of people’s time a year? Because most trade their time for those euros. Why not at least propose to try and take 0% of our time? ‬And do the rest on the backend. Or is that too hard? nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a

What are you ordering? Is it recommended or the only way to go with the Server Pure?

Do you guys use the server one or server pure? Curious to look into this. Seems achievable for me now without a ‘hundreds of hours learning curve’.

Hahaha I get the same impulse 😂. This guy like really makes you want to know more

Is he on Nostr? Can’t find him but indeed what an epic dude.

One reason corporate media is still standing is that we reference their stuff to point out what rubbish it is.

I can’t wait for AI to slash video production cost by 10000x so some creative souls can remake all the stories that got betrayed. It will be beautiful

There’s no NOSTR login nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9? Or am I missing it?

Epic conversation though. Her vision for that country gave me goosebumps. Mostly because there’s a chance it might actually work.

She seems to be pulling hard at the sword encapsulated by the rock. Can’t wait to see this play out.
