bittorrent is really the only reasonable way to fight video censorship. nostr definitely does not fix this, but it would be a great torrent indexer.

Should I use the poop emoji as the logo for Sheetstr? 💩

there is no nostr board ✨

Do you got anything that provides plausible deniability?

I think nostr pretty much turned podcosts pase 4 me/t-y nostr

No reply?

No wonder everyone is gay today.

Just a bunch of beta viewpoints with beta mindsets doing beta things.

Buncha little bitches.

There is a common phrase: “he/she woke up today and chose violence”.

I like it. It is funny. But it is imperfect.

“Violence” is now a verbal defensive phrase that means too much. To “wake up and choose violence” in the modern parlance of people who know zero struggle means to choose public verbal opposition. Okay, sure. But not really.

I woke up today and chose rhetoric. Not violence.

I spent years doing mixed martial arts competitively. I know violence. I am trained in a dozen ways to choke someone out, and have been choked out in’s dozen ways. I have had a 200 pound male fireman try to beat me unconscious and fail to do so. Even that wasn’t really violence, since it was controlled. Assholes on my trailer park bus stop in my teenage years were violent.

Verbosity isn’t violence. It is rhetoric.

I woke up today and chose rhetoric. I woke up today and chose to defend noncustodial privacy tools with language and resources. Coordinating messages between entities shouldn’t be a crime per se.

Bitcoin is anti-fragile and will continue to be so, thanks to all the people who work hard for it. But it is not without a fight.

Privacy is necessary in a free society in the digital age. A Cypherpunk’s Manifesto made this clear three decades ago and is still true.

Shut up cunt

I really want Casio A700W-1ACF.

It's cheap, but I have no good reason to having it. Nostr! HELP ME!

when they ask where Aunt Roxy came from and where she went

Because the ones we have suck and are just barely usable for end users, most people just use custodians on ln and custodians are dropping like flies.

hundreds of L2s just means we can iterate in this design space far into the future. We’re talking a few more opcodes to make bitcoin usable for everyone instead of just a few nerds who know how to run a lightning node.

content warning: nerdy bitcoin thoughts after a day of btcplusplus.dev

If we had some form of covenants we could have hundreds of L2s instead of just a few that barely work. Covenants are not spooky. They just mean being able to look at information of the transaction in the script that unlocks bitcoin for spending.

Before I didn’t really care about transaction introspection but many smarter bitcoiners are starting to convince me otherwise.

We could have channel factories that would solve many lightning onboarding problems, not to mention replacing the “i steal all your money because you restored from backup wrong” to “i just fix the channel state”.

It would also enable non-interactive versions of Ark and would open up tons of potentially more efficient L2s that make onboarding onto bitcoin easier and safer.

With op_txhash and other introspection proposals you could do “stacking”, a way for anyone to take a bunch of transactions and make a more efficient bundle translation to reduce fees, which will be increasingly important when fees get higher. This can be seen as a less hacky way to do sighash flags.

rusty’s great script restoration with a proper op budget has played a huge role in my shift of thinking, things like op_cat can be re-enabled, fixing the concerns which prompted satoshi to disable it at the last minute.

You can bizarrely get introspection from op_cat itself in a super inefficient way, but if we end up fixing script ideally we would just do something smarter like #lnhance

I can’t help but thinking of the future risks to bitcoin in a high fee environment if we don’t have tools to deal with it.

This is all theoretical of course, as engineers all we can do is come up with the best possible solution, ultimately its up to the node runners if they think its worth the opportunity to fix these problems.

Boomers will be like "the young generations are so irresponsible!"

Then have every password they use for everything be "Bob123"

Anyway, good morning.

Now nobody can show off that they run arch
