What is a WiFi router that you trust to work reliably and not be compromised by spyware, supply chain, etc?

There doesn’t seem to be a way in Primal to search for specific topics on the topics tab, or groups on the people tab. I’d be interested in an Austrian Economics follow group, and surprised it’s not a more popular topic on nostr given its fundamental importance in human freedom and its role in the history of knowledge and principles which led to the creation of Bitcoin.

Why aren’t US consumers able to purchase high efficient diesel cars that are ubiquitous elsewhere? Because of regulatory capture and nonsense red tape by the EPA, which has no constitutional authority to regulate anything. Unfortunately, the Trump admin doesn’t seem to understand their oath to the Constitution.

Horrible take. The state has no incentive to make the process better for the consumer. You’ve created a number of straw men arguments to suggest that the state can do it better. Why wouldn’t the tsa also resort to the methods described? The tsa is violating the 4th amendment with every passenger. Flying is a govt controlled industry that’s inevitably getting worse over time. There is no longer any innovation and the incentive system is broken.

Like most “federal agencies”, it’s also assuming illegitimate authority that it does not possess, in order to create “regulations”.

Also, “water saving” faucets and showers that dribble out water slowly, so you have to sit there rinsing for 5x as long, which balances out the total water used, and leaves you poorly rinsed.

Reputation can be established and credit worthiness, just like in the current credit market. Lenders and borrowers can be pooled and the risk can be predictable and accounted for with the interest rates and insurance. It’s a very mature market, but currently tainted with regulatory burden that could possibly be avoided to make it even more sophisticated.

ability *to* measure …

2024-12-06 16:32:06 UTC

- reply

Yes. Similar to a bank. There is going to be a huge market for lending and the ability measure risk and insure both sides is data driven and possible to achieve via decentralized technical means rather than statist institutions.

2024-12-06 16:21:50 UTC

- reply

With a strictly limited supply and high demand, the interest rate would potentially be much higher than what is currently seen.

2024-12-06 16:20:22 UTC

- reply

And by all means, keep the fdic and any other statist institutions completely out of the equation.

2024-12-06 16:18:20 UTC

- reply

I think the lenders could be somehow pooled in a technical fashion. Thinking outside of the box a bit, the risk to an individual can be distributed and reduced to a negligible amount, and accounted for with insurance, smart contracts, etc. The market already knows how to do this.

2024-12-06 02:21:07 UTC

Similar to a loan perhaps.

She posed an interesting question about collecting rent on real estate. Could there be an easy, trustless, and reliable way for Bitcoin holders to collect interest on their holdings, and use the interest as passive income? If so, that might be the killer app.

Compromise of keys is a legitimate threat, especially with the difficulty and complexity of avoiding compromised hardware/software. Currently, if your nostr key gets compromised, what are your options?

That’s not the only problem with these fines. Equal rights under the law is crucial, or this type of “progressive” tyranny will creep into every sphere of life and strangle success, innovation, and productivity.

Secession is a reasonable option for many reasons. There is more accountability and competition at a decentralized, local level, and also perhaps less enforcement power. The current Danish minister is not permanent. The EU bureaucracy is a malignant tyranny, not worth being attached to.

Yes, and it’s stressful to have multiple signatures/devices to worry about, keep track of, along with the increased complexity of making a simple transaction. This is not a solution for the masses.

The fact that most wallet providers are not already checking all the boxes really makes you wonder about the competence of the industry at large. A lot of people are talking the talk, but not doing the fundamental things. It’s disappointing.
The user has to trust that the basic fundamental security is taken care of by the provider of the product. The naïve notion that the majority of users will adequately educate themselves to secure their custody and privacy needs to be dropped. Even the technical folks are missing things. The product has to do it for the user almost completely. It cannot be complex. Privacy and security have to be the default. It’s been over a decade. The technology exists. Why are there still such large gaps?

What is the killer incentive? Making money. Free commerce is the keystone of prosperity. Free global commerce that is also convenient in today’s society requires a decentralized protocol. A decentralized alternative to Amazon should be a priority, in my opinion.
