Also, Alex Goldstein pointed out to me it was not very effective to use the term "Revolutionaries" to label all politically/culturally passionate Bitcoiners, since many of them are not, some even being the very opposite: literal "reactionaries" (I mean it in a positive sense). At the same time I wanted to give a better account of the role played in all that by "Bitcoin maximalism", since friends like #[5]
and Peter Rizzo were wrinting stuff, while my last my contribution on the topic had been this (long) talk:
This was prepared in about 20 minutes (really), full of inside jokes and exaggerations for the lulz, so I felt like I needed to put out lots of corrections later on. For one, #[4] rightly pointed out he's out of place in the weird spot of the diagram I forced him to. He *is* indeed, the closest thing to the unironical center of the diagram (tech startup CEO, original cypherpunk hacktivist, austrian maxi):
The origins of this speech are actually more ancient: the first time I reasoned about the Venn diagram it's based on was during a podcast. Then #[2] asked me to write an article about it for Citadel21, but I never delivered. At the Unconfiscatable Conference, in Las Vegas, I was asked to give again the speech given at Adopting Bitcoin Conference, in El Salvador: "The Perfect Lightning Wallet". But last minute I got an inspiration and changed my mind (and slides):
Finally publishing a speech I was invited to give remotely to the Strike
team a while ago (via the intercession of a late common friend, RIP <3). It's mostly the same presentation I gave at NoobDay in Riga last year, about "Bitcoin Cultures":
Not necessarily: a sufficiently comprehensive (complex) standard can output different results when 2 different things pass trough it.
Double standards.
What client is this screenshot from? Iris doesn't seem to give this option: just connect or disconnect from relays. I don't have any porn in global with default Iris free relays though. Interesting.
Mea culpa. I should have tried it by now.
Tbf, I don't see the post as example of mindless "taproot is bad" slogans. I think it's correct that *if* we know in advance that different forks will have to change output formats, it's better (at least ceteris paribus) to batch them together, to minimize anonset and compatibility bootstrapping issues. I think the specific objection is that, in this case, it was *not* clear at all CISA (which as you say is very complex) would have required a new format! Even intra-input aggregation wasn't really very clear back them, cfr Musig->Musig2, Frost, etc.. The "70% discount" fake news is indeed weird and counterproductive to the discussion. Even if I am worried of the spread of a symmetrically uninformed meme about CISA incentives being entirely "irrelevant": 15% is still relevant in likely high-fee scenarios (even accounting for coordination costs), and replacing witness discount with CISA could get us closer to 40%. But yeah, a lot of confusion unfortunately. Even about the "ordinal inscriptions" wave being "because of taproot".
Tu ci scherzi. Ma nel 2014 ho fatto un mettup con un parroco super based che aveva convertito l'intera cassa della parrocchia in oro fisico e sats, aspettando la crisi imminente. Spero abbia tenuto duro. Un vero chad.
You were right! :)
Thnaks for the link, very useful!
Lol. Just restarted Iris and here it is. I feel such a noob here.

Uhm. I had a post here about Logseq and Nostr, with a few answers to check. Disappeared. I guess it's time for me to stop being a cheap bitch and to start checking out paid relays! 😅
Not logistically doable this time around, sadly. :(
But I hope maybe next time!
Where else do you find somebody who's main defect is *not* spending fast enough the money you give him? Low time preference FTW!!!
A Logseq-like or Roam-like Nostr client, more in general, could be cool! Good for sharing and cooperating too.
