Sounds like a job for Starlink!
I run 6 Bitcoin nodes. 😇
That's a cool false dilemma you pose. Would you like to try again without committing a logical fallacy?
I don't want folks to read softwar because they'd be wasting their time. I already wasted mine so that others don't have to.
If I publish my annual node syncing tests on Christmas Eve, will anyone read them? 🤔

It's scary when you can't reload fast enough to mow down the horde!

Looks like up 92% to 3,750 though the only tracker admits that it's not trying to find all the nodes, so accuracy is unreliable.
Over the course of 2023:
Reachable Bitcoin nodes are up 16% to 16,837
Reachable Ethereum nodes are down 25% to 7,483
Reachable Bitcoin Cash nodes are down 28% to 645
Reachable Zcash nodes are down 48% to 4,175

"When MTGOX payouts happen next year, the OGs will rush to convert their BTC to BCH since you can get 200 BCH per BTC!"

Why carry a gun?
Because you can't carry a cop.
Why carry a tourniquet?
Because you can't carry a medic.
If you carry a gun you should carry a tourniquet.
This is a pretty interesting option, though unfortunately only for open carry.
Casinos are pretty rare in America.

Instructions unclear, do I shower with it?
It's quite refreshing to see that fucktard on X calling us all treasonous. It's basically one step removed from calling for our execution.
If you're not an enemy of the State, you're not Bitcoining hard enough.

It's weird to see some folks acting like LLMs are the path to actual artificial intelligence.
Call me when an LLM can make deductions and have original thoughts without being fed the entirety of the Internet first. That's not how actually intelligent humans work. Of course compressing the entirety of human knowledge into a fuzzy completion machine will make it sound intelligent. You're basically making a lossy encoded compressed version of things actually intelligent people have said, with a modicum of ability to generalize by simple association and statistics.
The Turing test breaks down when you throw enough Big Data at it. Congratulations, you've beat the test. You haven't created real intelligence though, you used big data to build a parrot with a huge vocabulary.
I've found you can get around this problem by being your own sewer.

LNbank Vulnerability Recap: Last week, a critical vulnerability was identified in the LNbank plugin, which I developed as a plugin for nostr:npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg. The following post aims to outline what transpired and steps I, as a maintainer of the plugin, and BTCPay Server team are taking to prevent similar occurrences in the future. https://d11n.net/lnbank-vulnerability-recap
Related, can you explain why BTCPay asks for an admin macaroon in order to connect a remote LND instance? Shouldn't a read-only macaroon with invoice permission suffice?
Apparently there's drama in the Fediverse over whether or not instances should federate with Threads.
