They always self-project.

They don't fear misinformation as they are spreading it wide and far.

They fear actual information (truth) reaching public opinion.

The risk of misinformation is minimized in reputation based and public/privatekey authenticated networks.

That's why Monero is so important. In the case of mass adoption of BTC, 99% of itsuserss will lack the skill to make their transactions private and by that endangering themselves and everybody else.

That's why Monero is such an important project. Opt-in privacy doesn't work.

I almost got rid of them completely. A little reddit reading here and there is the only thing that still provides some value to me.

The signal to noise ratio and the high quality of informational access is much better here.

The future will be based on public/private key networks anyways as anything else will be prone to manipulations and scams of all sorts.

Can this be utilised for #Monero?

Change is as valuable as resistance.

One is a big yes/no to the un/known.

The other is a big no/yes to the un/known.

It's deeply routed in our feelings. The integration of both is acceptance of what is. It connects both forces.

#Signal is just another shitcoin. It's a pretend organisation.

They even created their own shitcoin that is marketed as a privacy coin while at the same time collecting enough metadata to comply with KYC/AML.

Stop promoting it.

Also when a transaction is "pending" it may be nice to get information regarding the last block time and maybe even a probable ETA for the next block.

QR code reader that includes amounts?

CashFusion?

Functional synchronisation bar, that shows percentages from last sync, not all time?

Bitcoin will never provide us with opt-out privacy. So for that reason alone not all possible improvements ever will take place in one single currency (ironically reducing its value).

That's why competition is valuable.

I'd argue: Competition is the only path to ensure value.

Yes similar to the question here: https://snort.social/e/nevent1qqsxvm24fw939qss5pmf47ls5q22h3xwxcm5fp63mmst8as2gu47e0sppamhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5pzp64suatdx2uqhn2xfu7cgjuqgqcrqadp864uxkv6wckf43atj860qvzqqqqqqytnqfg3

What is it?

Obviously there are many different ways to look at it from a more technical to a more social perspective.

In my opinion consensus means that we both can rely upon assumptions we held in the past will still highly held up (honoured) in the future so we all can make economically relevant decisions which will impact our personal life, community life and society at large.

Bitcoin is the only network currently that favoured immutability (and ossification, which has a price) over anything else. If it weren't for Bitcoin to hold up this torch someone would need to invent a new network that takes care of it. Bitcoin has the highest value in crypto because it is equal to the US constitution. Every other country on this planet relates to it in one form or another.

The constitution is clear in what it protects and stands for itself. Changing it more often than not means that someone tries to undermined it. And in that case hard forks and soft forks are just different attitudes to change what shouldn't be

changed at all.

So Bitcoin consensus for me is to agree on something so valuable that we won't change it at all no matter the consequences. It's a representation of our (mental) power. It's also an appreciation of life and that everything that is claimed to

be changed for the better also carries an equaly sized bag of unintended consequences that will amass over time and eventually cause its own downfall.

Me, too. And: because privacy became such an important topic in today's society I am now a Monero and Bitcoin guy.

To sum it up: We should explore the capability of smart tokens based on LN before we touch Bitcoin.

I know. I recognised your user name.

Soft forks have unintended consequences all the time. It's not just about me deciding to use the feature or not.

See, I don't have anything against experimenting with drivechains. Just not on Bitcoin. And definitely not now.

That's your free choice. I am happy for you if you are happy not touching anything else than the bag you married.

No consent involved in that. However you want to change the bag for all of us so you need to get consent (consensus) from me and others. And I don't see more than 20% (high number) of people in favor of drivechains at the moment.
