Bitcoin toxic maxi | ₿itcoin = FUCK banks | Fearless = Freedom | HyperBitcoinization will happen when people will learn to be sovereign individuals

Sooo... I suppose from now on "AfricaFreeRouting" will no longer be free 😃

Really nice guide connecting Alby Hub with Stacker News.

Pay attention folks!

"Pirate Chain (ARRR) is a minor privacy coin that has mooned significantly recently popping up from 30 cents to 14 dollars or so (it's halved since I started writing this article though). Pirate Chain uses the zk-SNARK technology, but unlike Zcash, uses it mandatorily (with optional transparent transactions like Monero via the private view key).

Pirate Chain has two big issues though. The first is what I mentioned before: zk-SNARKs as they have been implemented in ZEC and ARRR are not trustless. They require a setup in which theoretically, if the public parameters of the system were known to some inside party, they could print an infinite amount of the currency with absolutely no way that any other people could know.

Even if you trust the Pirate Chain developers, Pirate has another pretty undeniable problem: 90% of ARRR has already been mined and is in circulation! Yep, you heard that right: A minor niche alt-coin which has existed for only three years was put together in such away that now as big of a proportion of it has been mined as has been mined of Bitcoin in over ten years!

That means that that 90% is highly aggregated in the wallets of the two and a half people who knew of ARRR in this period, and anyone adding to the market cap is mostly just contributing to these people's bags. Even if Pirate Chain had great trustless technology (which is doesn't) it has not been set up equitably, but in a way that enriches early adopters to an extreme degree. Expect to get dumped on if you buy this stuff.

Honestly, if you want a better, more honest cryptocurrency, you could just take the Pirate setup and give it a slower and more sane emission. That would be a better choice than ARRR itself."

Are questions to be answered, before you just jump in for any "announcement":

1. Did somebody already reviewed that code? Or we have another case like ANOM? https://darknetdiaries.com/episode/146/

2. Are people still use onchain for payments ? Seriously? In 2024?!

Reminder:

- onchain is the final settlement, only for long term holding

- LN is The Payment Network of Bitcoin that could offer waaaay more options for privacy. If you still didn't find them, it means you don't know too much about LN.

Living in the past (prer-LN era) will cost you a fortune if you are stuck in not adapting.

The new LOTR series 😄

why not? let's some little testnets around 😄
