I don’t know people have been doing it forever so I guess they had reasons to do it when it came to raise funds and gain attention, and Paul seems also concerned by “financing” things so…
From what I understand it feels to me that the actual difference between a MASF and an 51% attack is more on the percentage of hashrate you gather from miners being closer of 100 than 50%. At the end of the day you impose you will on others and now censor some legacy txs, or do shit that people using bitcoin don’t want at all. It’s not just about trying to double spend.

Why didn’t he chose the classical ICO way with a fresh new coin ?
And also how such a MASF wouldn’t be purely a 51% attack risking to harm bitfoin more than solving any problem we may supposedly have ?

But it's not about producing anything, it's about subjective value which has nothing to do with production. Of course if you don't care about your children and grandparents (which makes you a monster for the majority of people) you will not grant them any help or attention.
Does it mean that it's the case for other people that witness that evil ? No
Does it mean that it will have no consequences for you ? No agai
Does it mean that charity is absent in a free world to take care of these really cherry picker situation ? No
Does that situation can't happen in a nany State society ? It happens in unimaginable rates actually when the State pretends to replace the organic bonds that people creates naturally with each other.

IMHO you didn't read enough about libertarianism and you have a false idea of what it really is or isn't. The non agression principle doesn't mean anything else than that.
It's much more of a moral and logical / philosophical framework (that can be applied to economics because economics is just studying human action) than all the false premises and strawman arguments you are displaying as supposed flaws.

Yes as slave camps were indeed, immoral but social organizations nevertherless (like the State)
Zero example (in itself not an argument at all, as many things never existed until they existed) because maybe it wasn't possible to dodge your masters efficiently until now.
Or because in fact the social organization of the middle ages in Europe (or other examples) were much more closer to an anarcapy than the welfare state of today, so maybe the historic anomaly is what we have today.
You can also please look at history and see that the world wasn't always like that with 195 States (meaning territory controlled by a local mafia). It's much more subtile, and you can't affirm that A STATE is necessary sorry.
The millennia of evidences you are pointing just don't exist. It's a moving thing and societies change. The information age and the cyberspace are new, and it will have societal consquences that people with a lack of imagination can't even grasp IMO

But you can do that with any form of social organization right, so any kind of social organization can't exist because they can be captured ? The State can't exist because other States could conquer the territory it controls ? 🤔
Plus the land itself matters much less that the network of people that creates wealth on this given land.
Of course they could fight back and much more heavily because they would be so much richer and well armed. Since when bureaucrats do any things better than private organizations ? It can't be for many reason explained by autrian economists.
A State is a mafia that controls a territory. It's not a necessary evil it's evil.
It can cease to exist as soon as people refuse to be slaves anymore, we just need a critical mass of people snap out of their pod.
But we are not there yet obviously people need masters right now for some reason ....but we will get there eventually, it's all the thesis of the sovereign individual and others that I believe are mostly right.

The ancap freak out about theft, not "my precious". I'd even say that they are far less obsessed by "my precious" than people that try to justify and moralize theft. You have to be incredibly selfish and self centered with no principle to think that using force rather than free exchange to get what you need is a good thing.
You keep pointing at a pseudo religion but the true religion here is obviously the Statist cult. Needing leaders that take from you, and threaten you if you don't pay. Convincing yourself that it's for your own good and thus not complaining. Of course shaming people that want a way out of the religion. It's a total cult scheme.
I think it's very difficult for people that consider that the end justify the means to even understand that others might just want to be left alone and not participate to any cult at all.
It's a thing to be happy to pay taxes (I doubt that you'd pay 1/10 of what you pay if you had choice though...), but what if somone prefer to pay suscribptions, membership fees, contributions determined by a contract they trully signed ? Why can't people of good faith accept to stay in their statist world, and don't tread on others ? Mystery.

Pure anarco capitalism is anyone can contact with anyone. A contract is based on the non agression principle assumption toher wise it's called war or theft to aquire other's ressources by force. There is nothing wrong or impossible with it. People claiming that a monopoly can fix anything are always the ones who want to be at the head of the monopoly they forced on others.

Hum at the difference of communism anarco capitalism doesn't need to transition through a dictatorship of the proletariat. It's just a don't thread on me mindset that real sociopathic people can't grasp. There is nothing sociopathic about wanting to be left in peace.
Plus it doesn't claim it's the perfect system, again you are strawmaning. It's just the only morally not wrong system because the fundations of it are no violence out of self defense. And at the opposite of what you are claiming, anarcocapitalism stands only on charity and true solidarity when it comes to support the weakest...Like a minarchy FYI

Minarchy just lead quicker to a collectivist society than an ancapy. If you want to prevent the tumor of growing you have to cut it straight. Anyway the beauty of ancapy is that we just ask "don't thread on me", we don't force anyone to join us. Minarchies can perfectly coexist with ancap societies.

2026-04-20 09:30:17 UTC

- reply

What must be resolve exactly ? You want to prevent people from selling their organs to escape poverty ?
First let's say that the cherry picking of anti ancap people is always funny when compared to the horror that a State based society creates. The mega corporations you are talking about can only exist in a world where their is a government giving advantages and monopolies to certain groups of people.
Anyway to come back to the initial issue of having to sell organs let's just mention first that in a free world poverty is much less of a problem that in a collectivist one. Then for the poors remaining you can always chose to help people through charity or benevolant actions. This is what true solidarity is about, a thing that collectivists can't even grasp so selfish as they are.
Then if there are still people so poor that they have to sell their organs then you can either accept that they are better off after doing so, otherwise they would have not done it. Or if you feel like it being morally wrong (that I can totally understand being on the same page as you on this) you can just live in a community that prevent organ buyers to do their business here.
In an anarco capitalist world, communists can perfectly do their shit together (even if we know that it will not last more than 12 months in reality). Meaning that anyone is free to join a community/organization where buying/seeling organs is forbidden by contract.
So again I think that the main point is to manage to agree on not stealing from other people when we are confronted to a difficult problem. This can never be the solution, it's elswhere. If we can all agree of solving things without requiring violence threat and coercion, but rather true generosity / cooperation / contracts then we are building an anarco capitalist society.
It doesn't mean that it's perfect but it's the best we can do IMO.

We are almost there except that people forgot about the unregulated and private part it seems 😅. As long as Ark and Spark (or else) don't have blind signatures added on top of it, and the centralized servers are not runned anonymously, then their is no chance that we are not building a fiat 2.0 system, regulated, permissioned, not private, with fractionnal reserves on top of it.
Their is only one way IMHO, and we are not currently walking that past sadly. L2 are the way we bring privacy to bitcoin and even now we are starting off on the wrong foot which is a bit concerning...

Phoenix can’t see all your transactions precisely. If you pay a bolt12 (not widely supported yet sadly) offer they can’t tell if the node they are paying is the final node of the payment or an intermediary node. So for the bolt12 part it’s better. As long as Spark doesn’t supports bolt12, Phoenix will have a small advantage in term of privacy.

2026-03-16 22:33:14 UTC

- reply

Hum Phoenix already support bolt12 and blinded path so the privacy is slightly better on Phoenix, doesn’t do address reuse, and use taproot channels to even mask that it’s lightning to an exterior eye.
The trust model seems much better on Phoenix also. There is no case where the LSP can collude with anyone to steal your funds. If they try to cheat you punish them and take their funds, before they go bankrupt.
Phoenix seems far superior on all issues except for the ease of use maybe.

2026-03-16 21:41:24 UTC

Sure. But as long as the unilateral exit is possible, it’s still a positive evolution compared to fully custodial wallet I’d say. So maybe we should try to see the glass half full rather than empty. Without stoping to criticize and warn people of course.

2026-03-16 19:52:18 UTC

- reply

The privacy is similar to what a VPN brings you. It's difficult for the outside word to track your funds within the Park Servers (at least it will be difficult when they stop the address reuse lol) but the Spark entity can see all your txs within the Spark Server + the lightning payments you are doing.
They can also censor your payments and KYC shotgun you if they want.
But the protocol is supposed to allow an unilateral exit path. Meaning you can leave the Spark entity if the operator starts to behave wrongly.

2026-03-16 19:48:09 UTC

Isn't Spark supposed to allow unilateral exit ?

The privacy side of the issue is valid for sure, but the trust model in terme'of custody is not so bad from what I understand, if there are enough Spark Operator involved at least.
Any LSP could also try to cheat as they perfectly know that no is running a watch tower so...
The most important issue I see is about privacy indeed, still but I can't unsee Spark as a good thing compared to full custody that many people used through WOS until now. I prefer to see the glass half full.
But we can imagine informal Spark entities runned by federations "Liquid like", with blinded signatures on top of spark. That would be cashu on steroids actually.

Afaik you have the unilateral exist way always possible with Spark if they try to KYC shotgun ?
If unilateral exist is possible then how is it really different from a LSP disabling your channel if you don't KYC ?
Last question, wouldn't blind signatures on top or Ark\Spark be a reasonable trade-off for good UX and almost impossible denial of service attack ?

Social benefit and subsidies will be payed in CBDC of course people will use it.
Legal tender fake coins are already unacceptable, you should cancel all people with dollar bills in the pocket already.
Nothing changes drastically with CBDC . Only those that depend on the State will be impacted by the social credit score.

As long as this kind of architecture will not be the norm again the fight will need to continue frens... Good proxy of time preference of the society we are living in.

For sure it may really helps keeping high standards, but it's also kind of sad on the other hand

So far I agree with this point of view.

True but sometimes the rat race leads you to lower your standards to just provide for your family. Don't blame all people for doing so out of necessity. We just have to hope that we'll never be in that situation ourselves.

What is different out of the nature of the shitcoins in the case of p2p exchanges ? It's really close on IMO
The liquidity provider make a profit on the swap and buy back the bitcoins if he isn't moronic. Profits are measures in sats of course. In the end shitcoins have indeed been dumped on the market and everyone is happy.

Some people in the rat race are paid in stable coins or worse and need to swap it asap. It's a good tool for that.

I'm not that triggered. Again, shitcoins are idiotic scams, but they pale in comparison to the fiat ones. So far, fiat shitcoins have done a lot to support Bitcoin's liquidity in the first place and nobody is crying against p2p echanges while they are also shitcoins casinos according to you.
Allowing people to top-up from shitcoin seems ok. At the end it's just about buying bitcoin. Swapping out for shitcoins would be cringe though, and would indeed start the shitcoin casino thing you are mentionning.

Agree but for a shitcoiner to die and be reborn as a bitcoiner, it has to sell those shitcoins in one way or another. Again shitcoins are not worst that fiat, much better as they are not forced on anyone so far can. They are just moronic ideas.
As long as Alby stays bitcoin only when it comes to the wallet side, it's not redflag for me.

Sorry I meant "shitcoin top-ups". But I understand now that it's just about swaping those shitcoins for bitcoin which is fine IMHO

The question was "what do they mean by "Lightning pop-ups" ".
From what I understand it's just about receiving bitcoin by selling shitcoins through swap services. We don't deal with shitcoins directly in the app so that's perfectly fine from my point of view.

Can you elaborate on that please ?

What do they mean by "shitcoin top-ups" ?
If it's just about buying bitcoin to fund your channels which they allowed against fiat for a while, how are shitcoins worse than the worst shitcoin of all which is USD ?
If it's shitcoins wallets directly integrated into Albyhub indeed we have a problem houston...

Spark seems to be really close to a custodian model tbh, as much rely on the will of the Spark entity to not rug you. But curious to hear this episode, even is Seth will triger me as usual 🤣 for sure. Bitcoin and Lightning doomer but Spark enjoyer perfect receipe to triger me.

And it's centralized hence censurable and almost useless if it comes to replace fiat

Ok the linking to npub feature would be nice eventually. With Iris all seed phrases backups seems completely separated from our npubs, more like a classical browser ecash wallet, and it's a bit confusing.
