Yeah well we're not comparing layer 1 bitcoin to monero.

Why not

I can't get enough of this 😂

Attention begets attention.

This feedback mechanism is fundamental to the idea of communication & is true at every level of life from bacteria, to neurons, to ants, and all the way to social media networks.

I am really starting to understand it’s not so much that people are actually stupid, but that they have been so thoroughly brainwashed and conditioned that the form of callowness in which they exist overrides all forms of thought so that the very idea of taking courageous action is fundamentally impossible.

It’s quite sad really.

> OK then it exposed my TOR node address

Yeah, your *TOR* node address

> Now I am sending my kyc'd coin to a darknet

I recommend buying on robosats or bisq so that your coins aren't KYC'd

> Might as well buy monero at this point

I suppose so, if you want worse privacy

Consider putting it on tor

> Go on, both of you

Ok :)

The node found by "Bitcoin Anonymous" on the lightning explorer might not even be the recipient's -- it might be a routing node. Some routing nodes (like lnproxy, and some of my software) let users create invoices that use the routing node's pubkey instead of the user's. This helps prevent users from finding out your node's location on the p2p network.

I think most people don't really think for themselves. People wants somebody to do the thinking for them and them simply follow the leader or follow the majority. So yeah, I think you are right. The answer is No.

Are you really asking me or do you know the answer? I don't know but I'm interested what the answer is

i fried up one egg this afternoon

i thought, ok, maybe it helps if i cook the yolk fully, since that's where all that soy poison would migrate to, and heat may degrade the poison

i hope i don't regret this

i thought that i had eaten 3 of the 6 pack i bought last week but no, 2... and second instance i had 3 hours of allergic reaction

isn't anyone else having this problem or something, seems strange to me considering how many people these days have increased allergic reactions thanks to their stupidity at accepting to be poisoned

Anything I've ever read or listened to go over basics of privacy on Lightning always recommends CJing before opening channels. And presumably if you're running your own LN node, the most private way to use Lightning, you would be doing that.

I feel like all this is moot though because thats not how the vast majority use it they're all on custodians like WoS that see everything.

The view key thing already assumes you're protecting those keys the same way you would protect your xpubs or private keys for Bitcoin/Lightning. Unless you think that applies to those as well for any wallet and crypto?

What popular wallets are leaking view keys?

The most popular wallets are all non-custodial and your wallet syncs the chain (Cake, Monerujo, Stack, Feather, CLI/GUI, etc)

Even if using someone elses node they can't see your view keys so no clue what you're talking about

Why in the world would I part with hard money for low end garbage bar food? Why would I part with it for a scone? Why?

If you want my Bitcoin you need something lasting to get me to spend it. I would not even spend it on a production model home that I know will be falling apart in 15 - 20 years.

It is clear to me many simply do not understand where we are in the arch right now. There is nothing you can buy today that will as value able as Bitcoin will be in 5-6 years, NOTHING.

i had a chat with DPR just before i stopped using the site and this person literally claimed to not have control or knowledge of the escrow mechanism of the account security deposits

if ross was the builder of that app then i wasn't talking to him then, this was a few months before the arrest

Castlevania.

I used to play the original on NES all the time. Well, that and Contra.

Hand on heart, if the price of Bitcoin stopped going up when denominated in fiat value and stopped beating inflation would you still be here?
