Who comes up with these labels anyways?

I thought those are Gen Z and all in between are different flavors millennials

First time I see the term Gen Alpha. How old are they now?

I'm somewhat of a Disney princess myself.

I don't see the argument against larger op returns because nobody will track down small miners / pools to have their custom block mined being particularly strong as this is what happens already. Centralization in that regard is the current status quo, whoever wants crazy blocks mined can do it with our without opreturns changes.

I could turn the argument around saying that larger op returns would make those custom blocks unnecessary because the goal to host data on the blockchain can be achieved now without such manipulation.

But then again, as stated by gmaxwell, there are interest groups who just like to have a block for themselves printing MARA in the mempool.space thumbnail and whatnot and they will AND CAN do it no matter the op return field.

How does a larger op return field change that in any way?

What implementation and version are you running?

In the beginning Bitcoin was created.

This had made many Bitcoiners very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Gm to you and your Fredo

I appreciate your input 🫶

For how long this is your position?

I made my statement embracing all coming arguments, we surely can argue without knifing each other. That's a lost art...

If it was for Satoshi, we would have DNS resolving Bitcoin sidechains by now which isn't a currency use case either but desperately needed. With larger op-returns, we even might get to have those AND on the main chain! Maybe the Namecoin and Emercoin devs finally collapse into Bitcoin.

I was all maxi and purist once and somewhere along the way - for all the reasons I wrote down - I came to the conclusions that I just don't mind nor care about larger op-return fields and what people do with it. Bitcoin now is famous for EVERYTHING but it's use case as currency and that only now is starting to make sense with L2s... Which we wouldn't have without segwit... which opened up the possibility for "misusecases".

In other words, it seems you can't have one without the other. Bitcoin as a currency and bitcoin as a baselayer for whatever people come up with. It's not technologically possible to limit the use cases.

I know this is your stance, I've seen your note just above mine: nostr:nevent1qqsqqsdfnfuxua5yksjvxt60z99gadazca2txlehe9t8eddwuketwgspzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtczyph8tauhywtu5v54ur6v5raud6uuc7d7ska0m4tt6duzyr9gamn5uqcyqqqqqqg0wv2ex

...and I say that a father who has left the family has no say in the development of the child.

You know what...

I support it. Bitcoin needs use cases. Runes and ordinals will see another surge and then wither away like all shitcoins do. It will not be an open end onslaught on mempools from here on out, the gambling and narrative cycles come and go and people wise up. Or they won't, what do I care. I have the choice to not use Core anymore and to not offer my nodes resources for this.

Yet I will because SSD and RAM space got cheap and this isn't 2018 anymore. This ain't a blocksize war, it's a RAMsize war. Miners can include or ignore any TX they wish, it's fair game on that front too. Miners, what kind of animal are they anyways?

I like to believe, naively, that rich miners will hold on to their corn for longer and are more resilient to downside price manipulation, shutting off rigs doesn't need to happen anymore. That increases the scarcity, arguably the decentralization of holding too and it has a healthy impact on the power dynamics between the wall street bros and the miners as well. Forced selling won't

.

More use cases for bitcoin are good at this point because it's primary use case has not come to fruition while the world keeps changing. On-chain transactions clearly cannot be the baselayer of a new global monetary system built outside of governments control, you will never be able to buy groceries in the store with an on-chain TX. That's okay, we have L2s now, clearly a sector of development that won't go away. The biggest pain that comes along with the Lightning Network is the channel opening & closing in high fee environments but again, at some point it's not for everyone to start and to maintain a lightning node like it's not for everyone to mine bitcoin anymore.

Yes yes, good luck with your Bitaxe, 'somebody has to win the lottery', it's cool but you're not buying and using it because you are politically forced to do so, it doesn't do you any good but education, entertainment, hot air and dreams (those are all good things btw). My point is, if you can afford a toy like this, you have the resources to open lighting channels when the mempool is buzzing again.

Quality has value. Bitcoin is the strongest and most secure network humans ever made and it costs energy and/or time and/or money to run and also to use it. There are lightning node banks and there will be more that charge you a little lovely fee to use their service, some for you to be no-kyc and you will be happy.

You want to be your own Swiss bank today? Buy bitcoin, run a full-node. You want to be a bank FOR Others tomorrow? Spin up a lightning node.

Bitcoin won't be 'captured', it just grows another head like a hydra and don't forget that the EU indeed is swinging at it right now, they want to restrict billions of people from using it at all.

If on-chain and a self-custody lightning node is too expensive for you, go ahead, run a cashu mint, feel very sovereign... As long as you don't run your own power plant don't pretend you're in control here anyways. Work with what you got and do it well, explore new avenues, stay on your toes. Always secure yourself first, then keep going and help others.

Have a nice first of May.

22 years ago, at the age of 15, I had a purple belt. I got beaten up one day by a random drunk dude and gave up on Karate. My Sensei back then had mostly trained us in Kata, show and shine, and not for real self defense. We'll I slapped him back equally hard on his persistent request so we're even and I sign up for training once more. But man, ringing in my ears from a little slappy slap.

Just got bitch slapped by a black belt and I highly appreciate it. It's been a long time since somebody laid hands on me.

Takes one to know one Sir ❤️

My disappointment is immeasurable.

Is there a person out there using the Daylight computer who is not a paid influencer and advertiser and can give real feedback? The price is crazy high, I'm not buying it just to see if it does what they say it does. There are many color or black and white eInk display tablets out there, former ebooks which grew in functionality and are a fraction of the price. Especially when buying second hand.

Most toxic place on the internet is Linux forums, change my mind.

I figured that it is related to MiCA and so forth but why is there no warning and no explanation coming from Strike. Locking down someone's bank & bitcoin account is a serious matter and can't happen out of the blue like this. My client is transacting serious amounts of fiat and bitcoin with Strike.

I hope nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm4wfex2mn59en8j6gpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0t25cfd finds the time to respond

Hi nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm4wfex2mn59en8j6gpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0t25cfd, I have a client who is buying his bitcoins, yes, plural, through Strike on my recommendation here in Germany.

Strike has just closed his account and demands bank activity details for the last 90 days. How does this happen and why? My client is fully kyced with you already.

Strike has in the past imposed a limit on his buys, 50.000€ a week which, seemingly unnecessary and demanded more information about his income and so forth.

If this keeps happening, he will simply take his business somewhere else and I don't know what to say. I also can't recommend Strike anymore to high volume clients if this is their experience. What can we do here?

I'd pay for an Alby WordPress plugin that gives visitors the ability to tip me, a faucet for me to tip them, to onboard people onto lightning using a subwallet of my node.

Happy Easter ❤️

May you die & resurrect while still alive once more, leave all bad ideas and habits in the grave. You can do it, it gets easier with time. Just consider it a workout 💪

Newly created profile with info shows up empty when opened with a client, Amethyst in this case

In your country too? Where do you live? Ukraine has disappeared from German news weeks ago

...booked our Madeira trip just this morning! 🎉

Can't copy numbers from Amethyst :/ they're interpreted as phone numbers

Day time?

How do I find the mullvad guys?

Funny, that is literally the regime that I started today. I never documented my sport and food habits, today I did and uploaded, and didn't do a second exercise but I just came back from a 15kg weight vest jog, all in all one hour. Including walking. I have plenty of muscles but need to burn a bit of fat for the shred. So coconut oil for breakfast, lunch and dinner it is 😂

That's even less informative. Keto or what?

14 days of what?
