Hah I like where your instincts are at. You definitely got the "corporate capture bad" bad part down.
GPLv3 licensed software has a long history though. It keeps vender lock in from being possible and has its roots in hobby developers who would call themselves hackers in their day. That's why in the video all they can talk about is software support.
You get all the freedom without paying any money in this case specifically.

"The computer can be used as a tool to liberate and protect people, rather than to control them." - Hal Finney
But the reason computers control people instead of free them, is corporate capture.
Windows has investors to answer to
But Linux offers freedom only
X, Facebook, Instagram etc etc all have ad space for sale and users to manipulate for profitability
But nostr just relays the note and signal or a similar messager just let's you message the person.
Money is already online. Visa and Mastercard drive up prices by squeezing merchants and often deny services to NSFW content creators just as an example.
But Bitcoin just does what the user says to do.
The computer can be used as a tool to liberate and protect people, rather than to control them. You just have to choose it.

2025-09-26 21:15:52 UTC

Today, I'm making my stance on Knots vs core clear.
There are aspects of Knots I agree with. Namely, the philosophy of enabling options in the configuration file rather than making configurations more difficult for the sovereign node user. That's the part about Knots that people were rallying behind.
There was of course some other very debatable musings over whether me pool policy could prevent a block from getting mined or cause a block to be orphaned, however, these musings did originate from core maintainers, I don't mean Luke.
I don't care about such musings too much, but the sovereign node runner has the right to be wrong, no? I see this debate as being more about paternal Libertarianism, vs hands off libertarianism. The recent subversion away from that seems like a distraction from what matters.
There is a fundamental asymmetry in the developers ability to understand and make changes to the codebase that is meant to be a representation of the emergent social construct we're building together called Bitcoin. That asymmetry can without vigilance, lend itself to paternalism and maybe over time, aristocracy, and then oligarchy.
The conversation I was interested in seeing happen, was is our current process for "the reference implementation" really provide the resilient structure we need to stave off those undesirable tendencies of human nature into the future.
Any discussion about Luke's personality, or specifics about how Knots is run, is uninteresting, because at least to me, it kind of feels besides the point.

It wasn't a no because someone else had to step in. It's not just this place. This is a common problem we see in businesses that accept Bitcoin. You typically have to talk to the owner or an automated system to actually be able to pay in SATs because no ones staff knows how to accept it, because typically it's not on their point of sale and they have to get a separate tablet that they don't know about and weren't trained on.
I'm curious what system these guys updating to though that would be able to solve this problem

For those of you who need it, a microbitcoin, also known as a bit, is 100 SATs.
We don't use bits because it was difficult enough to get everyone to learn and think in 1 smaller denomination.
So if people can only be assed to learn 1 denomination, it might as well be the smallest one.

No you absolute Jackwagon. Negative reinforcement is ineffective compared to positive reinforcement in animals and studies later showed in humans.
What you might be thinking of as negative reinforcement "give me another pushup you piece of shit" is actually positive reinforcement.
Whereas an actual negative reinforcement, would be "I can't believe you just ate that you fat piece of shit"
The first reinforces a positive action, the second scolds a negative action. Just think about it, which of those two examples would help you reach your diet and workout goals?

That's the nevent. You can decode it here: https://nak.nostr.com/
You can manually add the relays in the nevent to your client. That should help a lot. I've also found directly pasting the nevent into a client works better than waiting for it to load in an embed.

Need mempool full while still being able to make payments uninterrupted.
Lightning only partially fixes this.
A lightning wallet that adds a little more than the routing fee to the payment fee and allocates it towards a mining fee for channel closing budget would go a long way.
Opening a channel (to a different channel partner) batched in the same transaction as closing a channel would help a lot.
None of those improvements require soft forks.
