Just one, amethyst. I would like to have more, but I'm a targeted person and so I use Google's Advanced Protection, and this framework does not allow non-app-store apps, period.

Seems like pkdns relies on mainline DHT for censorship resistance. What are the censorship resistant properties of mainline DHT?

It also requires users to use a particular DNS resolver, so it won't serve my website to 99% of internet users who don't know how / will never change their DNS resolvers.

But we gotta start somewhere, and I'm not sure any other solution is any better place to start. Maybe if this or another decentralized system takes off, major DNS servers will start to support it and it'll become more usable.

It bothers me that we have this beautifully censorship resistant thing, the bitcoin blockchain, and we still haven't figured out how to leverage that to get us out of the quagmire of centralized power that is ICANN/DNS. I know about nomen but it suffers from the same usability / specialized DNS resolver issue, among potentially other issues.

Is there any way to bridge the gap so that the existing system of DNS resolvers will work on whatever the new namespace is? Until owen.bitcoin resolves automatically on my grandma's PC, without any special configuration, I think we're gonna keep failing to take off. If we can solve that, there are probably a half dozen decent decentralized solutions to do the rest.

What's the latest/best thoughts on transaction fees covering the security of Bitcoin long term? We have a decent number of people transacting these days and still this doesn't seem like it's gonna cut it.

Would be an optional feature of course. Also curious why/how it's a fiat thing.

Now remains one of the easiest times to be long bitcoin. GBTC outflows are limited while spot ETF inflows are unlimited and slowly coming online from FAs and portfolio managers.

Add in the impending halvening and the supply/demand dynamic is very straightforward for the next few months.

I feel like each successive bitcoin bull run is scarier than the last, as the global financial system shows more and more signs of unravelling. The sad bit is that bitcoin's ultimate success is gonna be the fiat system's collapse, meaning bitcoin's final mooning will be a terrifying and chaotic time all over the world.

What did you post to get banned?

Just a quick message to bitcoiners. I’m a nobody, not someone with any influence or importance to any of you in the Bitcoin space, but just saying, three of the political candidates heavily promoted by many big time bitcoiners just so happens to be deeply supportive of Zionism. Maybe some of you are also, and that’s up to you, it’s a free planet, but I would like to just remind you of the lectures of Andreas Antonopolus. His message, which got me into Bitcoin, was that Bitcoin is not only an exit from the banks, it also was an exit from the current oppressive system and the governments behind it.

I’ve noticed more and more bitcoiners getting comfortable laying in bed with politicians. Be careful with that. Focus on the message and purpose of Bitcoin. It isn’t to perpetuate the same old 💩 we’ve been living the past couple hundred years, it’s supposed to take us away from tyranny. I just feel like maybe some have forgotten that part of the message.

Whether you believe Jews should or could have their own country, surely you cannot in good faith support the death of 15,000+ civilians in the space of a month. Bitcoin is about property rights and sovereignty, surely that includes the Palestinians as well? I find it an open contradiction to support the ethos of Bitcoin while at the same time supporting candidates who break that in one breath while waving the Bitcoin flag in the other. Surely your bitcoinism isn’t just about “inflating your bags” and getting in with the gov?!

Just my humble thoughts. No offence intended.

Can't support anyone pro-genocide, no matter how bitcoin they are. Super disappointed that we don't have any good candidates.

Bitcoin is our best shot at defunding the war machine. I don't think the solution is gonna come from within the system. It has to be dismantled from without.
