Wow, what a long winded way of saying "make my job easier and I don't study economics."

Prople using this scare tactic of "Fees will be thousands!" Don't understand economics. People saying Lightning isn't a good layer-2 are not thinking institutionally. Banks if they want to survive the fiat collapse will become Lightning node runners. Becoming the bridges between vendors and customers. They already have the infrastructure and relationships.

Diatribes like this are when Coders get lazy and forget they aren't the only important piece of a monetary technology. This is the equivalent of a banking App dev saying that the dollar will fail if he can't get his preferred coding convention to be used in the codebase. Childish.

No promises.

Having a UPS for a node during an outage is peak bitcoin.

What a great distillation of the Hope we hold.

*incentives. Force is violence or at the very least physical.

This is a logic gap. Buying things at a higher price ≠ paying a tax. You can not buy the steel Zhang can't refuse to pay the tariff, big difference.

Okay, are you buying things at a higher price of your own free will?

If Zhang's price hike is out of your budget, don't buy his steel. This is the same leftist logic that blames "greedy businesses" for higher prices.

Btw, Zhang still paid the tariff in the example. You paid for overpriced steel.

Whatever you say grampa. Go back to eating your fruit by the foot and your flat backed skateboard.

I think you're in the clear. He only seems to care about code too similar to HIS copyrights, not just in general.

I feel like I am not being clear. Understanding is not the issue, either. I UNDERSTAND war-mongers, thieves, and globalist control fiends. I am just ideologically opposed to them. Like the Amish to technology in my example or NVK and and FOSS in real life.

I don't know why you wrote this. I know that, as I wrote, that is not the contention. Again, it is the mindset around FOSS and intellectual property when being on a board that awards donations to FOSS projects.

Think about it this way: If someone was on the board for distribution of funds towards technological advancement but they were Amish. You might have a conflict of interest there right? But just one Amish person on the board doesn't sway the vote. They just don't have the requisite mindset for the position. Do you see my point?

The contention is not that his vote would weigh more than others. The issue brought up is that FOSS is a mindset diametrically opposed to copyright. To be on a board promoting and funding FOSS projects has a responsibility to be objective. The conflict of interest involved with making copyright claims on a FOSS project because it seems to "Infringe" on one's own product leads one to think: If one 9th of the board is compromised ethically, I have an 11% chance of my donations being squandered by passing up projects "Too close" to projects NVK might have an interest in. This is not retarded or irrational. I don't care about Opensats myself as I give charity only to people I know personally. This is merely an explanation of where others are coming from.

That process is irrelevant to stepping down, which was the suggestion.

That literally what was said earlier. "They lose donations with him on the board." Meaning people ARE not donating if they don't like 11% of the board. The request to step down is a suggestion for Opensats, not you.

Never had a single problem with Sparrow, Nunchuck, nostr:nprofile1qqs8uskl8awsj5866khlkceghg8dznye0mrt3vfzr4387mwc2p5cmvgpr4mhxue69uhkvet9v3ejumn0wd68ytnzv9hxgtmrv9hxzerpqyshwumn8ghj7mn0wd68yvp39e3k7atww3jhycmvda3kkamfwdjju6t0qyv8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnsdaehgetj9ecxcctrv5rpnny6, or Electrum.

I run several of my own nodes, and can cross reference balances across my own instances of Mempool.space.

My own personal philosophy is that the more the wallet looks like a spreadsheet the better it works for economic utility.

One thing you might notice about all of the wallets I choose is that they are all bare bones and don't have dozens of "features" that have to be init checked with every action.

I don't understand what "Unsustainably low" means. The price of money is subject to the maginal cost of production. If the fees are lower than the cost of electricity and miners, the fees go up. Miners can literally set fee limits. So, I assumed you were refering to the competition of Lightning because the other meaning doesn't make sense.

The fees are not the point of Lightning. It is anonymity, speed, AND the fees that make it worth the segwit upgrade.

Segwit allows lightning channels. Not having an integrated layer 2 would increase the need for trusted mints. Essentially making your only fast market currency a coupon that has a custodial issuer.

What's interesting to me is that the narrator exposes and expansive depth of Nietzschean philosophy yet seems to betray a very shallow articulation of Christian philosophy. That is to say, simply taking christians at their word and the over-arching christian history. Then, parsing every notion Nietzsche's criticism. That is what stood out to me. Guilt in the aristocrat and resentment in the pauper are common modes of christianity but not explicit to the doctrine.

Morality is simply the expression of idealistic evolution the same as physiological evolution. The correction mechanism being social death as morality is a social phenomenon. The exposure of a Master and Slave Morality only shows that social death is less severe in the Greek philosophy than the Christian one. Either way, interesting video.
