People who use Proton and think that they’re safe and protected should read this! https://proton.me/blog/climate-activist-arrest 
i mean
they provide a roadmap for bypassing the logging they were compelled to do.
which is very nice of a large company.
proton works as designed. it just doesn't change the fact theyre a trusted 3rd party.

mine is in no danger of taking over. its hanging on but not really thriving.
my theory is that if I give it enough water and nitrogen i will eventually have enough to harvest it for fencing.
otherwise it is simply beautiful.
its called "confusing the medium with the message"
it was never about #bitcoin itself

I told you, I have nice landscaping
there is also apparently no time when the bamboo doesn't need water
i guess I just dont understand this comment
i cant use nostr:npub1g53mukxnjkcmr94fhryzkqutdz2ukq4ks0gvy5af25rgmwsl4ngq43drvk iris app because it doesnt support Amber
but I CAN use it as a miniapp in nostr:npub1h0uj825jgcr9lzxyp37ehasuenq070707pj63je07n8mkcsg3u0qnsrwx8
which does support Amber.
Keychat is the best all purpose nostr app(s).

I'm not mining (Bitcoin) at home 🤭
so it wouldn't be necessary
but you were saying its not possible anyway?
thanks for the context.
I have no horse in the current Great Debate. just trying to understand what you said.
which is essentially, you can't use libbitcoin to mine consensus blocks?
I was looking into compiling it.
you did not answer the question at all. you answered the question you THOUGHT I was asking.
totally true that fear identifies a growing edge
doesn't making nature illegal seem a little... unnatural?
#Bitcoin transparency was a necessary design flaw.
Fight me.
it comes back to trust actually.
nobody would *trust* Bitcoin if the ledger was obfuscated. transparency was necessary for the 1st-mover.
normies have come to *trust* that Bitcoin can't be hacked or created out of thin air. normal, non-technical people now understand nobody can spend from an address that belongs to another. this is because of the cryptographic fundamentals but they aren't auditing the code themselves.
in this same way, people will come to *trust* the cryptographic proofs that Monero uses to guarantee supply and hide sender, receive and amount.
it will become normalized that these systems function correctly, despite not knowing exactly HOW they work.
We all are placing trust at some level and it's important to be realistic about *where and *how that trust is given..
correct
Things only exist in the context of their environment. They don't exist as pure Platonic ideals.
A thing and its environment are "not-two"

Matt knows better, he just stopped giving a fuck.
so are the people saying its "fuck you money"
how can they have 51% when known pools accounts for 80% of hash?
make sure you dont prematurely judge libtards, shitcoin shills, flat earthers or people who think Bitcoin is fungible
everyone deserves to have their stupid views heard and their dumb books read,
or atyh will lose respect for you 🙄 nostr:note1k8kdn2l9vs07mne7q7evp8jhjqtv2fgekwg8x4sjk4gy4kc4pdeshq5724
the problem isnt Qubic or whatever degen shitcoinery
the problem is #monero mining profitability

Important discussion
“Fungibility isn’t about some arbitrary level of acceptance.
It’s about the market treating units as interchangeable with equal value, per all credible sources.”
1) I know people that only buy virgin coins from miners, because they don’t have a paper trail. I know they even pay a premium to the spot market for such coins
2) I know a crypto bank that asks to see the trade history of how you purchased your Bitcoin
The market treats both scenarios differently, not only in terms of choosing the transaction, but also in price
So yes, Bitcoin is fungible enough to be money, but also yes, UTXOs are not 100% fungible because of what I’ve seen in the market place
Mises would agree I feel
Does it stop the adoption of Bitcoin? No. Can people do KYC or no-NYC? Yes.
