Hoch die anarchie. CTO at Sovreign.io

You literally don't know what you're talking about. Anarchy is the status quo. The governments are just the biggest warlords that masquerade as human rights organizations.

To people who play videogames the next patch or update matters. To adults, they never matter.

False dichotomy. You can not vote for a ruler, and own your own bitcoin. This political larping is childish.

The "centralization" versus "Decentralization" dichotomy is permission versus permissionless. Do you need permission to join? No? Then it's decentralized no matter how many participants are involved. If you must be admitted to the system from an authority it is centralized. This is the only distinction that matters.

☺️ There’s a little coffee shop where two people walk up to the counter.

“Five coffees, please. Two for us, and three hanging.”

They pay, take their two coffees, and leave.

Curious, I ask the barista, “What’s a hanging coffee?”

“Just wait, and you’ll see,” they respond with a smile.

A little while later, two girls come in. They each order a coffee, pay, and go on their way. Then, three women order seven coffees: three for themselves and four hanging.

My curiosity deepens. What’s with all these “hanging” coffees?

Then, a man in worn clothes, who looks like he’s fallen on hard times, approaches the counter and asks, “Do you have a hanging coffee?”

“Yes, we do, sir,” the barista replies, handing him a hot cup of coffee.

I finally understood. People are paying in advance for coffees that will be served to anyone who can’t afford one.

This heartwarming tradition began in Naples, but it’s now spreading to cities and towns across the world. In some places, it’s not just hanging coffees—you can leave sandwiches or even a full meal for someone in need.

Imagine if we all embraced this simple act of kindness in our own communities. A small gesture like this could make a world of difference to someone’s day, or even their life.

Let’s start bringing this tradition to every city and town. One small act of generosity could ripple out and touch countless lives in ways we can’t even imagine. #Nostr #Bitcoin #coffeechain #kindness 🧡💜

This is high trust society behavior. The assumption is that no person of moral character would ever take advantage of a system of charity. Look around you, do you see people of similar moral character in your town? Then, this would work. If not, you are actually creating a perverse incentive. Charity, morality, and kindness is for your friends. Never give these things to your enemies. They will destroy you with your own helping hand.

Beautifully Crafted. Congratulations on a job well done.

Okay, my point still stands. Do you see ads for private arbitration or enforcement outside of state control? No. My point isn't, give up it's hopeless. My point is, for your own safety don't advertise you are competing with the state on force, and justice. They will kill you or at the very least force you to stop.

Contracts are STATE enforced so is arbitration. Just read what I actually said and don't infer my point when I state it clearly. I know things can work without the state, I'm an anarchist.

Alternative justice models are not things you can announce. You just do them in secret. It's one thing to open a shop next to Walmart. It's another thing entirely to tell them you are competing directly with them.

But it isn't completely anonymous... If my grandmother had wheels she would be a bike. Again, I don't understand the aversion beside standing athwart the hill of payment schemes yelling "Stop giving money to each I other all willy-nilly!"

Saying it has no incentives then listing incentives is definitely a new way to make a point.

The thing is, I don't understand if V4V is such a bad idea, doesn't work, and will collapse, why does everyone spend so much time talking about how it won't work as a payment model? Surely you would just not bother because the people implementing it would just not do it anymore.

The thing about decentralized systems is the modularity with which they are build allow for different models to be tested. The reason why paywalls and V4V are clashing is that one hurts the other and people advocating for either are just partisans. If there's a paywall, V4V gives away content for an ostensibly cheaper price. If there's a V4V model pay walls give people FOMO and draw from charitable payments. You are participating in a culture war.

Yes, it is a PC/Miner combo unit. (At least the Apollo 1 I have is) This unit is beefier from a mining perspective, not sure about the PC part.

Plz lemme know if it's worth adding to my Apollo 1 stack!

Yeah, if it's a single sig it's one point of failure. Multisig with borderwallet or paper analogue back ups is my advocacy. But, in this particular case smaller tramsaction size and open scource vetting or compliling the code yourself is really your only option. Brutal cautionary tale.

Mix Border wallet, with NFC tag, with hardware wallet, with a paper wallet, to get your multi sig. Everyone seems to be of the opinion that tech breaks or becomes obsolete. But no one seems to think that having analogue backups can be a part of your main security model. Very odd, imo.
