what he said.
also
what makes someone a "scammer" is making speculative promises.
in this case, that's you with the horseshit "Bitcoin is inevitable" hopium.
premature ossification is achualy bad

nice story bro
yeah!
this is why gold failed as a SOV for the last 4000 years!
i want to incentivize the state to attack the lightning network because criminals are using it
not really interested in the semantics
and in this case the label helps accomplish my objective
I am a criminal who uses lightning
#lightning
#bitcoin
but I appreciate the "hey we're criminals who use LN attitude." that is exactly how we win.
it just doesn't prove its a good tool.
First, you might be correct but we dont know until it has to be used in adversarial environments
Second, I never said they didnt. just that the economic activity of raw milk is basically insignificant. Also, present company excepted, virtually none of it takes place on LN. its ridiculous to think raw milk sales is going to incentivize the development of Chainanalysis tools.
Third, yeah, since we are talking an investment in the 10s, if not 100s of millions of USD, you need a corresponding incentive to make the investment in that tool.
its not "proving your point"
its proving there isnt enough economic activity on LN (yet) for anybody to give a shit
not impressed sorry
are you honestly going to tell me you think the state cares enough about raw milk to develop techniques for payment tracing on LN?
until the volume of free exchange becomes a priority for the state to disrupt it is NOT a testing ground for a censorship resistant payment network.
its just "see I payd my weed dealer with LN and wasn't arrested"
quit pretending like your toy network proves something when its just too small for anyone to bother developing techniques to trace payments.
the state DGAF about your few $1000 worth of illicit trade.
its a great start, but it doesn't say anything about the privacy of the payment rails.
(oh and on a related note, Shopstr is NOT a dark net market)
sorry
didn't realize that pointing out your criminal network is too small for anyone to care about payment tracing was off-topic
which has nothing to do with what I said ๐
100 whole transactions per day?
sorry but the OP has a point, LN isn't battle tested until it is used for transactions that the state prioritizes disrupting.
a few dozen txs for milk doesn't make a censorship resistant network.
90% of "racism" is just people preferring the company of others who are ethnically and culturally similar to themselves.
You can just buy things.

pfft
please
you have no problem presenting LN receiver privacy as if the technical best-case scenario was the default
and you aggressively object and "whatabout monero" when its pointed out virtually nobody is receiving with the technical best-case because of UX
your entire FUD campaign is still just "LN will fix Bitcoin privacy and make Monero obsolete"
which I heard first in 2018.
still waiting....
another day in paradise

well
this is a step up from the "Monero partially encrypts the amount" line of horseshit you used to be trying to sell
yes, that is indeed an advantage to transacting on a L2.
one
there are also disadvantages to using an L2
two
its not hard to churn an output to mitigate this. not unlike using a proxy on LN
three
this is a weakness of ring signatures and we've known it since before they were implemented.
it isn't news, its why moving ro FCMP has always been the plan.
and a good UX?
Here it's. It looks EXACTLY like ALL other shitcoins, a big spike at the start then it trends to zero. HFSP.

durr
the most important metric is that Cantillionaire money is coming into Bitcoin.
I am a very serious person who puts human liberty first durrr
that's still not correct.
has gold failed to retain its value over 4000 years?
a fixed supply isnt a requirement for retaining value.
monero doesnt "retain less value"
its fiat price increases slower
that isn't a value retention problem.
monero supply is inflationary.
monero is a deflationary asset.
these are both true statements.
"deflationary" means
associated with or tending to cause deflation
since the supply inflation of monero is set to be much less than historical annual economic growth, it is correct to call it "deflationary"
if your node is on your subnet sync is a lot faster (obviously)

i can also recommend Stack or Stack Duo
is the Monero GUI wallet onboarding flow so bad that people don't understand they dont have to run a full node?
what I'm saying is
you dont have to run a full local node if you dont want to.
nodes send and receive transactions and add blocks to the chain.
wallets connect to nodes to sync their balance.
wallets dont download the blockchain.
no. you are poorly informed
you dont need to run your own node.
you download a wallet, generate a seed and send monero to it.
thats what a self custodial wallet is.
you literally download a wallet and generate a seed.
there are no requirements.
there are no Bitcoin denominated charts
but tbh
nobody actually verifies the Bitcoin supply themselves.
they trust the code to do it for them.
yes Monero has additional complexity.
but it isn't really THAT different for the end user
and also, the Pedersen commitments that guarantee Monero supply are old and well-understood.
not really arguing, just a different perspective.
as people become more used to the idea of Bitcoin
they will become more comfortable trusting cryptographic primitives.
Bitcoiners now are just like precoiners from 2014,
willing to trust certain specific primitives they don't understand. but not others.
