Ban public schools. Problem solved.

How can you solve the small group of psychopaths that exist everywhere?

Site is very cool. Kinda like an open Urban Dictionary, but broader.

I was spanked once, and introspecting about it, all it did was cause me to lose respect for my father. I obeyed afterwards but from that point I saw my dad as emotionally weak and patetic.

Those promoting spanking, just be honest with yourself. Everything you say are just ex-post facto justifications for an uncomfortable reality: you either want to hit children, or you are too cowardly to adequetely address what happened to you. Spanking is unnecessary and destructive, and a tool that serves only the momentary needs of the parents.

I'm not Christian either, but that verse interpretation is dubious, at best. People twist things do justify what they actually want to do.

Certainly, he's done his operations. Assuming what he said was true, he indirectly ratted out himself and many of his companions. If they are sinister individuals, I think he may well be at risk from them, not just the FBI.

Interestingly, someone is copyright flagging Junseth's post. Probably him and or his companions, probably pulling all the stops to get it taken down. Perhaps even the FBI wants it taken down while they investigate.

Let's see what happens, if hear about it.

California is a kleptocracy.

It should be obvious that expenditures o AML is buying them something other that what they state. I think its more about assuring people can't avoid taxes and other financial controls as easily. It may also be about making it so the connected people can share in the proceeds of crime by selling 'looking the other way' to those who can afford it.

Imo, there's only two viable strategies to cope with the system: leave to somewhere where you are treated better, or hunker down and build communities outside of the system.

There's no way to stop what is coming. In either case, you hope you don't ever get in the crosshairs of the system or other citizens.

Meanwhile, build the tools that will provide the escape hatch, or alternative economies, and communities for the subset of people who can stomach escaping the system.

How about just going to where you have better life quality? We have very little power over other citizens who will blindly accept more and rules, including robbing and restricting you more. They won't change this until it becomes untenable to not do so. More pain is coming, and its delusional to think it can be fought directly. But, one can build tools to fight, from a more pleasant place.

I don't think so, it's like a race. So, it requires trust. But the method referred to in other comments seems ideal. That is, enforcing spend to particular address for situations where trust is not available.

Bought with money stolen from citizens.

A mechanism to create Lightning channels using Liquid is possible. A big LSP, or other node could create a bridge to the wider Lightning network. Thus, the user can have lower open/close fees.

Let's not call them capitalists, more like fraudsters.

Excellent, Thank you.

Pretty cool, seems its locked to an address. I studied the base math behind ecash, but haven't read this detail. I wonder how this is achieved.

It's basically sending someone the information need to claim funds from the mint. Since both the sender and reciever will have this information, they both can attempt to claim it once Internet is available.

If someone anonymous says a true thing, is it still true?

That's an interesting idea. Then, I suppose If I wanted to pursue a title I ought to explore this more deeply. That is, if my priorities called for such massive investment in time.
