To disable runes and ordinals and RGB and other shitcoinery in your node please enable

datacarriersize=0

in your bitcoin.conf file. This has some implications like disabling paynim (Samourai nicknames) but not very important ones, you will still route payments and open LN channels.

Please share, this is a very important advise. If enough nodes filter this shit, we can send a message and force shitcoiners to find direct routes to miners, exposing the miners that reject this important job of spam filtering.

Let's start a revolution by cleaning up our mempools.

#bitcoin #runes #ordinals #bitcoinconf #shitcoins

Exposing the miners - and then what? They are already exposed anyway, at least some of them, remember the 4Mb block.

And if successful, and degens are forced to submit their nonsense directly to miners (skipping the mempool), this could make mempool unreliable for fee estimates.

I am all for stopping the ordinals and runes nonsense, but this cure could be worse than disease.

No, this really prove they are spooks.

If they will not be spooks will not be part of this and will simply ask simple questions:

- have been commited a crime?

If they still continue saying that "money laundering" is a crime, then please prove that Bitcoin is money and prove that a gov have any jurisdiction over my own bitcoin.

If they recognize bitcoin as money they will have a much bigger problem than they can imagine...

You can’t have freedom without privacy.

The attack on self-custody is next.

Strange but nobody is rebutting the authority of a gov but they still cry about "violating" their rights....

I have news for you... shitizens: citizens do not have rights, they have only provileges.

So start learning how to became a sovereign individual instead of truing to "fight the gov".

If privacy is outlawed, I will become a criminal.

If freedom is outlawed, I will become a criminal.

If thinking with your own mind is outlawed, I will become a criminal.

If growing your own food is outlawed, I will become a criminal.

If helping your neighbor is outlawed, I will become a criminal.

If empathy is outlawed, I WILL BECOME A CRIMINAL.

The entire developed world tax apparatus that was built in the 20th century and extends into the 21st century depends on ubiquitous financial surveillance.

They are not going to give that up without a fight. I have been saying at a number of conferences and podcasts that privacy is the main battleground for the next decade.

Back in the 19th century and before, money was mostly private. There were plenty of dictators but there was no major method of surveilling all transactions. Therefore things like broad income taxes were untenable to enforce.

But in the 20th century as money increasingly moved around at the speed of light, people needed bank accounts to keep up. It wasn’t all forced on them; they chose it. And those bank accounts were centralized, surveillable, and ruggable.

This allowed authorities to switch to income taxes, which require ubiquitous financial surveillance to work. And ultimately it allowed them to switch to fiat currency altogether.

Now in the 21st century, Bitcoin and its various layers allow people to hold and move around money globally without permissioned banks. They can do so peer to peer, or they can do so with custodians and open layers, etc. Unlike the base layer of fiat, the base layer of bitcoin is permissionless.

But this represents a threat to the entire current system of taxation and financial control. If bitcoin and particularly various private methods on top of it were to be adopted at massive scale, the entire tax structure and other things would need to reshape themselves around that reality. And so they won’t make it easy; they will try to criminalize financial privacy as much as possible while the network is still pretty small.

The only solutions are to 1) make privacy tech so ubiquitous that it can’t be isolated and can spread organically in a distributed way and 2) to apply legal pressure when possible so that governments sort of have to operate within the bounds of their own law, like the 1st and 4th amendments.

If we were using it with our own node with dojo, it should be fine, right?

Breve hilo sobre la wallet de #Samourai a raíz de preguntas que veo y estoy recibiendo.

Primero que nada, calma, #Bitcoin es la red, y va más allá de un software. Un software que además, sus desarrolladores siempre se han preocupado por crear herramientas que permitan mantener siempre bajo custodia del usuario sus fondos.

- Si usas una wallet que se conecta al nodo de esa empresa, y esa empresa cierra el nodo, no podrás actualizar los movimientos de tú wallet. Pues aquí aplica lo mismo. De ahí una de las importancias de tener un nodo propio.

- Los fondos que se tienen en una wallet así, es lo mismo que tenerlos en una wallet donde tú tienes la custodia, nunca pierdes el control de los mismos.

- La semilla se puede restaurar en cualquier otra wallet que maneje el BIP39 (semilla HD)

- Samourai no es una wallet de Lightning Network, así que no pierdes canales (ya que nunca los tuviste)

Y de nuevo, calma.

La privacidad es una lucha, que va más allá de un producto o persona

Gm,

Just looked at 90 sat/vB and said "wow it's cheap now"

Weird how anchoring works on the brain

How a mining pool with ecash rewards would work. This is too good to not exist.

Give me an example of his wokeness.

Sound socialism to me.

No KYC hits different after your government passes laws to increase capital gains taxes 😏
