This all happened before in California. The fruit harvest all fell to the ground and rotted because no Americans wanted to work for shit wages and Trump was patrolling the border. Then the prices of fruit skyrocketed and people started complaining. I emember my cousins in Oroville telling me all about it.

DROP BABY DROP

I WANNA SEE $70K

If you think tariffs are a bad thing for the US you are retarded

⚡️U.S. President Donald J. Trump announces on Truth Social, that the United States will be halting all future funding to South Africa, due to the confiscation of land, and “treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY” which President Trump calls, “A massive Human Rights VIOLATION.” He states that the halt in funding will continue, until a full investigation of the situation can be completed.

you mean where he says "conveniently our tool has ruled out all the decoys. convenient but often not the case" ??

at about 30:15

yeah I always wondered how they did that.

it's not an honest argument to suggest they did it simply by Morphtoken giving them the stealth addresses.

and I do intend to try setting up a LN node on a VPS when I have the time.

you're completely missing the point of what I said.

Newton's laws of motion, etc, etc. Agreed.

you need data that indicates that direction.

the point i made was,

it not running on a pi5 doesnt actually establish that direction.

because of the (possible) increase in use of more powerful hardware.

again

not saying you're wrong

just that it isnt adequate data to say you're right.

The good thing about AI saturating the internet, is that it will force people to never believe anything they see on the internet. Therefore any political content, sources of outrage, distractions, interference, etc cannot be believed. It will force us back into our immediate surroundings, as the only source of true reality, which is how people lived for thousands of years before the internet existed.

Soooo

this is just regular "big blocks are bad" FUD.

Could be a problem, sure

but nobody knows at exactly what point you have to go up a layer to maintain adequate decentralization (whatever that means).

Also you keep harping on this point

>the sender always knows the recipient's "real" address (the one on the blockchain) and can provably map it to their stealth address.

which is completely true.

But I'm really having a problem coming up with an attack where that information is useful in any way.

for example,

The Adversary sends monero to their target.

so they can see on the chain when that output *might have been* spent.

aaaand....?

its not useful in large scale surveillance.

and it's barely useful in specific targeted surveillance scenarios.

>setting up an LN node privately is barely more difficult than setting up a monero node.

i call bullshit.

anyone who can find the cmdline can set up a monero node on old hardware or VPS in an hour copypasta-ing from a guide.

I spent an hour yesterday just trying to figure out why all payments to my Zeus wallet were failing.

but almost certainly we both underestimate the difficulties for noobs starting from close to zero.

As other's have mentioned. A secret key is just a securely random 32byte number. That's it. The reason that libraries don't include this, is because there is no safe, unified, and guaranteed place to get random data from on all platforms.

did an interview with a romanian documentary maker and in it i was super bullish about bitcoin

i even bought $20 worth from an atm (on camera) and encouraged everyone to do the same and wait for a few years to see what happens

in my mother tongue, i’m almost always optimistic – 2013 roger ver levels of shilling, alex gladstein levels of virtue signaling

it’s only when i interact with you guys on the purple ostrich app that i get depressed

such stupid takes, so much hopium, so little consideration for onboarding the next hundred million people in a non-custodial way and giving them the privacy to escape authoritarianism

but i might have different personalities in different languages too, i’m far more polite in romanian

Yeah basically I take a beat and create a pause where I can decide to act on the impulse or not. I still have the impulse I just don’t act upon it.

When I was young I was angry.

My temper was a big problem.

But over the years I’ve found that things you do in anger boomerang back on you.

Usually quite quickly.

Best to not give into anger.

It’s like holding a hot coal and waiting to throw it at someone else.

It burns you, more than it does them.

The blood comes to the river, I see many Bitcoiners who defended Trump questioning him now.

If by the mouth loose that will apply tariffs and does not do cuak is that it is not a duck is a protectionist 😂.

Enjoy what you voted for!
