I agree with you when you mean in mining ( Russia will be very very big player over time)

I meant the first place and the adoption of BTC as a national currency

I didn’t think they were more real and commercials were always this way, but there’s something about an ad with specific people that maybe they use the service. Like there is still the benefit of the doubt that they like the company. I certainly don’t do ads for companies I don’t use or like, and I imagine many/most celebrities or whatever wouldn’t do an ad for a company they absolutely HATED. So there’s still this low level of trust that can still be inferred from it even though you know it’s fake.

But to have someone that doesn’t even exist, speak bluntly about something that is explicitly and obviously a lie, just feels different to me. It’s not about the previous ads being genuine, they certainly aren’t. It’s about this being even another level worse than those.

I don’t think that negates what I am saying, it’s a fact that compute is cheap, there’s a reason it’s used in Bitcoin.

My point is that we should try to make spamming less attractive. The cumulative costs for a spammer become significant over time, whilst not so for the typical user. PoW is not useless: if it takes a spammer 20 minutes to send 1,000 replies vs 1 second, that is still slowing them down. That’s 20 minutes of high compute accumulating on the spammers bill.

Many users won’t even need to do PoW if they only care to be received by those that follow them, but a spammer has an incentive for their content to be seen by as many as possible. Mining could happen in the background while the user does other things, or by a DVM, or none at all (if you target your followers/WoT).

What we have now is free-for-all, a near-zero energy cost for users and spammers alike, absolutely no physical limits imposed all while having the technology to do so.

I’ll say it again: it’s a combination of measures that is needed to deal with spam, not a one-size fits all. WoT is great until it’s not, relay hopping and tagging is great until there’s no relays to run to.

No one is truly sovereign except God. Few realize this. There is great power in realizing this fact and acknowledging our positions as slaves. It's who we recognize as our King that is most critical. The simple fact is we either serve satan or God. That's the only true divide. If you're not serving Christ, you're serving evil. Often unknowingly. #christisking #truth

Building my honey library but it is slow progress with my cravings :)

Fireweed is delicious... Some of my other favourites are heather honey (northern england) and fynbos (cape town)

Anyone else crave tablespoons of raw wild honey at weird random times?

As far as I’m aware if it’s an on chain transaction the person sending you the money can use a block explorer like mempool.space to see if the transaction has been confirmed. They will also be able to see where the money goes from there.

With HD wallets every payment has its own address / qr code. So they can only see what has happened to their payment. They won’t see other payments cos they should be using their own addresses.

What you need is bolt12 which is a new payment method on lightning. People scan your qr code and send you money over the lightning network.

I think strike are the only company to have implemented it yet.

My aunt asked me what I thought was going to happen this U.S. presidential election. Here’s what I told her:

1. Irrespective of who’s declared winner, about 30% of Americans will think it was rigged.

2. If Trump is declared winner, there’ll be protests and rioting from blue team. We saw a preview in 2020. A few downtowns will be ransacked. Store windows broken, looting. However, it won’t last long, and won’t bleed over into the suburbs. The suburbs are a jungle, and guns would come out of everywhere to stop the rioters from progressing.

3. If Kamala is declared winner, there’ll be peaceful protests, perhaps like the farmers in Europe, or the truckers in Canada. A few will be arrested, the rest quietly dispersed. Red team equates patriotism with support of the State (police, military), and so will not put up much of a fight when asked to return home.

4. In either case, two years later, the houses of Congress will flip hard the other way. Nothing much will change, legislatively. The swamp will remain undrained. Alive and well.

pops is trying to convince me that inflation is happening because of a 0.8% population increase from illegal immigrants

They are the same.

They literally go hand in hand.

freedom of speech must be balanced with other human rights

1BTC = BTC is a coping mechanism, a necessary one, but still cope. We live in tyrannical times and the more ngu the more we can leverage the system for max sovereignty, freedom and influence both for ourselves and those we love. If you're in the stacking for dear life stage then godspeed anon.

As long as you keep paying...

Right. No idea why.

Divorce right? 🤣
