Subnostr

Run your own node. The next easiest option is to use Zeus. Just understand their fee structure and the risk of losing funds to channel closures before you go that route though.

And how many hours/days of administration is required so I can send a few sats over nostr?

Yet coming up with more options is inevitable

So if you care of about private, censorship-resistant options you say

"those options are bullshit"

not

"more options are good"

CLIENTS CAN MITIGATE MOST NOSTR PRIVACY CONCERNS AT THE COST OF CENSORSHIP RESISTANCE.

SOME WILL COMPLAIN IT IS NOT A WORTHY TRADEOFF.

AT THE END OF THE DAY MORE OPTIONS FOR USERS IS BETTER.

Hanshan 1y ago

More options for users STOPS being better when those option normalize undermining bitcoins fundamental value proposition(s).

Sound bites are nice and all. But they are not critical thinking.

We just 114 and it will climb higher for another couple hours, maybe to 117, and then sit there for 5 hours and then start to cool to a nice 55 degrees. A 62 degree swing. It’s like that all summer. Average is 100 highs and 55 lows. That’s why our cannabis does soooooo good 😊

The point was the ease with which an entity could reach the 51% level. Not that it was a pool. If you have a smaller number of total miners, it is easier for hostile groups to attack the network. This effect is made worse when mining is unprofitable. There's so much hash power on the bitcoin network that the cost to capture enough of it for a 51% attack is massive. This along with the tens of thousands of nodes that would have to accept the eventual rewrite of the blocks and wouldn't keeps the network secure.

In other words, its got nothing to do with pools at all.

It's also not about # of hashes, its about energy consumption.

You can either have centralized ASIC farms prone to govt pressure using lots of energy

or decentralized low energy hashing impossible to pressure.

everything is tradeoffs.

Mining pools aren't a security threat and aren't examples of centralization of hash power. They represent individual miners. They don't own the hash power. The minute the pool operators advocate for things that violate the individuals' best interest, the pool breaks up. This is pretty basic stuff.

Well you were insisting it was a problem for monero.

So is it or isn't it smarty-pants?

It's a lot less than 10%. On average, Monero's daily transactions are 5-7% of #bitcoin's in the last year, which means significantly lower hashrate. It is much easier for a well-funded entity to execute a 51% attack on Monero; in fact, that's why supporters of Monero asked miners to leave pools in 2022.

You have some weird ideas.

For one, while tx volume and hash rate might be correlated, there's no direct connection.

So starting off I'm pretty sure you're not terribly informed.

Also, while a 51% may be easier to execute "that's why they asked miners to leave pools...?"

This is nonsensical.

Ill give to the 5-7% though. 25k *actual economic txs* per day is still awesome.

Montero is a waste of time that is not used enough, which means its blockchain is insecure. No thank you.

Hanshan 1y ago

monero does 10% of BTC tx volume daily.

how does that make it insecure?

All yall trad and proud fellas are forgetting something

Once you have a family and home, your life is no longer censorship resistant.

I don't make the rules.

Easy to exert leverage on family men. That's why y'all start to become "reasonable" instead of idealistic and principled.

Not saying family isn't worth it, just a fact.

Critical thinking tips:

- Be skeptical of all news, especially the news you like or already believe

- What is the source of the information?

- What is the source's source?

- How credible is that source?

- What biases might the source have?

- What is the context?

- How much information is being conveyed here? What facts?

- How much emotional language is being used?

- What is the framing of this information?

- What is the source directing the reader or viewer to conclude?

- Cross reference it. Are any other credible sources reporting the same or similar?

- Be willing to question your own beliefs and compare what you KNOW to what you BELIEVE.

- Consider opposing views, contradictory evidence, and alternative explanations.

- Assign a weight or measure of credibility to the information based on all of this. Be willing to disregard news you like or want to be true as well as willing to believe news you do not like or do not want to be true.
