I guess I would say, look into the IME if the CPU is is intel and why a lot of people opt for coreboot. The OS isn't the only vector of attack. Either way, I am not saying you can't have useful tools. This is also called an anti-pattern and is just as identifying as regular patterns. Having no digital footprint when you are a known person in meatspace creates a profile all its own.
This is beside the point. Most people ARE harmless so the intel agencies aren't wrong. You can try to obscure your network traffic, preserve your privacy, and control your UTXOs meticulously.
1, ONE counterparty you transact with can ruin all of that work. I think that's what I am trying to get across here. Using money (debt to other people for their good or service) necessarily involves public data. Use cash dollars, use Monero, use Bitcoin, use gold, whatever. No one is going to get paid and say "I wonder how I got this money, and from whom?" That just doesn't happen.
Using techniques to obsure your traffic so the average thug doesn't come for your corn is DOABLE. Obscuring you traffic so that no nation state can know your dealings? Impossible.

Dave, I am saying if you touch a network at all, you cannot expect privacy to the level that you can obscure yourself from a nation's state. There are things you can do to not be on their radar, but they are so extreme and so regressive that they are detrimental to human existence.

A little primer for you on data:
Public data- is data that you allow to be known by untrusted parties.
Private data- is data you allow to be known by only trusted parties.
Secret data- is data you allow to only be known by yourself.
A transaction with a merchant is in the "public" sphere of data. I was not implying that every transaction is put in the newspaper and pushed onto people's Twitter feeds or something.

2026-05-04 02:25:26 UTC

Let me rephrase so there's no pedantic gotcha: Overwhelmingly the most common way people can be identified by address is via fiat on ramps and off ramps.
The agorist selling me soap and fucking beef jerky is not giving my info to the CIA, Square, Strike, and Coinbase are. Better?
Okay. Ready?
The shop can just not tie the transaction to the data!
Example:
For reporting purposes- the shop sold 15 widgets.
The customer data is a separate ephemeral database.
NO MATTER WHAT MONEY YOU USE THIS IS TRUE. Yes, including Monero.
So, what's your point here? That using money is a public act (like I said). Or obscurity is a technique not part of the protocol because no matter the protocol the counterparty needs to be trusted? (Also like I said)
In a mass adoption world if I got bitcoin, sent it to a single spend (non-deterministic) address and handed the keys to the shop owner where's the paper trail? This is a TECHNIQUE yet I preserve my anonymity. (again, something I said before)

2026-05-03 21:43:18 UTC

- reply

Using money is a public act. That's the thing. You're talking about a system in which you go out into public and ask everyone around you to preserve your privacy. It is not something that is possible because there are counter parties who also know you are trying to transact with them. Privacy is selectively revealing yourself to trusted parties. And the problem with that is merchants are never trusted parties. That is the whole rationale behind having trustless money.
Treat privacy like you treat anything else. When you're walking down the street, you carry a weapon because the average thug can be repelled with a weapon. But if you think your privacy precautions are going to save you from a nation state, you are sorely mistaken. Obscurity and pseudonymous techniques are the equivalent of carrying a weapon with you.
As for your premise, that digital surveillance is the norm. It isn't the norm of humanity, it is the norm of a centralized monetary system. And again, it's not that Bitcoin is not private or at least obscured. The emergence of Bitcoin is trying to reconcile a centralized system against a decentralized one. The only reason anybody can tie an identity to a Bitcoin address is because of the fiat on-ramps and off-ramps using Bitcoin. If I mine Bitcoin or do a job for someone and receive the payment in Bitcoin, there's nothing tying my identity to that address. That is just a holdover of people trying to transfer their wealth from the controlled system to the decentralized one.

I didn't say that. I am saying you need techniques not protocol changes. Protocol changes add complexity when privacy is not as useful in the future. Techniques can be adopted in the early days then discarded later.

So what? Who cares. I spin up keys like every 5 minutes. Shit, I can't remember seeds I used like 6 months ago. "Huge issue" meaning what?

2026-05-03 18:33:50 UTC

Okay, nice argument. Glad you put so much thought into your response.
You probably say things like "cash is private" and think no deeper.

2026-05-03 18:11:05 UTC

- reply

Privacy is an issue for emergent systems because the set of users can be identified and crushed. But once there is ubiquity, on chain privacy is not a focal point of money. Minor pseudonymous protections (like no accounts tied to people but Public keys as the only identifier) serve well enough to use it as money.
So yes privacy is an issue NOW. but embedding privacy into the protocol is going to be vestigial with mass adoption.

The subjective part of Doxxing is taking a photo of a person at a particular location is doxxing, but also completely legal. Where that boundary becomes blurry is if you take a picture of them pulling into their house. Did you reveal where their house is or are you just taking a picture in public?

I just don't understand the situation where there's any "unconfigurable" moderation.
If you run the relay and don't configure it to block spam, no one with query your relay. Hosting CSAM is a crime and if you don't configure for that, you put yourself at risk. Doxxing is a subjective metric but can be configured as well. Making things "unconfigurable" is just your will being imposed on others. People will either make the right choice or face the consequences for making the choice they made.

"But how can we implement moderation without allowing censorship"
You can't.
Each person needs the tools to create their own experience. You can't build top-down.
Tools include web of trust, discovery pool, and relay policy control. My relay has a whitelist, Blocks spam, uses WOT, and has a slightly filtered global feed to discover new users.
You can't tell relays what to do unless you run them. Complain about the service they provide you but ultimately, you are choosing what their policy allows.

By Enclave, what are we talking about? Is this hardware that has unknowable data? Or is it secured data? And if so, by what or whom?
If it is secured by encryption, who/what knows the passphrase?(leads to rugging)
If unknowable data, how does one prove the firmware on the hardware is genuine? (Wasn't secretly copied, leading to rugging)
I have been trying to design an enclave and this has always been the problem:
- You either can't trust the data hasn't been copied prior to its generation .
Or
- You can't trust that the purported firmware is genuine.

Well, if you replace your workers with AI, you also replace your customers and thereby go out of business. So, it's just as detrimental for corporations to do as the worker.
HOWEVER, if the efficiency matches a low cost. The price of everything falls dramatically. Now you need 1/5th of the money to live buying the same consumer goods.
Regardless, you need a healthy foundation to find efficiency within, (which the world is not built on). So, very likely the efficiency will funnel into systems that don't work.

Principles have logical underpinnings. Morals have spiritual underpinnings. Both are important but I mean morals in this context because I say "believe" repeatedly.

Does anyone have morals today? My parents were both teens when I was born. I didn't have some grandpa telling me the moral foundations. I was barely going to church until I was 12. The only thing I can think of is hearing the Golden rule and thinking "Yeah, that tracks."
How are so many people willing to sell themselves? If you hold a position, "I believe in [X]" Is that true at all prices? If you are paid millions do you still believe [X]? If your family is threatened do you still believe in [X]? If YOUR life is threatened will you still hold [X] true?
Why do people not have scruples? Do you realize that makes for sale? Nothing more than a slight tax for evil to persist?
If the price of your morality is not your life, you are a line item for evil's budget. You are for sale.

Okay, so the spending and recieving is NOT the innovation in power projection I am talking about. It is the ability of the miner which the military can at the very least project considerable energy into that allows or disallows the expenditure of those unique coins. By merely dumping hash power into the network with your own templates, you can stop your adversaries from being able to purchase weapons or pay soldiers or things of that nature if you can identify their addresses and their coins. This power projection has a similar effect to being able to control the centralized systems of the legacy system.
I'm sorry I can't really explain this like you're 10. This requires a more detailed explanation. That's why I tried to put it in bullet points earlier.
By using military energy (oil reserves, nuclear power, and others) you can increase the hash rate considerably, thereby making all other actors in the mining space less likely to mine a block, and therefore less likely to control the template of additions to those blocks. This allows financial censorship if not considerably decentralized in the near future. That is power.

I think the point is any cryptographically secured POW system is that. But Bitcoin is a uniquely strong network in the space.
The POW produces nothing but a number. That number allows transfer of nominal units. Those units mean nothing without the proof of work TODAY when it is sent. Having a private key (secure or insecure) means nothing if you don't have the computational power to assure its passage to another address. What controls that computational power? The network of miners competing. THAT is power.

Anarchy IS the state of the world. Governments are just the largest warlords and their gangs.
Capitalism is a system of organizing resources via money. Like any system there are rules that are bent and broken.
Things have definitions and those definitions are ideals. A ball is a sphere shape. But if a ball isn't perfectly spherical does it cease to be true that balls are spheres? No, the ideal ball is a sphere but many balls are approximations of a sphere.
I share your sentiment but the shirking of definitions is illogical. For example: saying "I am not a collectivist" means you are in a collective of non-collectivists. Is this a contradiction? No, it is an ideal. It is shorthand to say "I consider myself an individual moreso than part of a group."

Absolutely. I have ways of paying bills with Bitcoin liquidation. But again, that is subject to price fluctuation. And that's the whole point.
If I were just paying in sats peer-to-peer the price really doesn't change that much because we have unit bias but when it gets liquidated to dollars in one way or another via bitrefill or other services it creates a need to watch the price action and pick your time to pay bills wisely.
I feel like we're saying very similar things, but I am much more cognizant of the dollar price now after getting onto a Bitcoin standard than I used to be when I was just using it to save my money.

I don't know if it's my pixel 6 or what but the UI for videos is not consistent. Sometimes I can hit the buttons at the top and other times they are not accessible.

I'm not sure if what I wrote was mistranslated but I am not referencing Bitcoin here. I am talking about how often the US funded terrorism and that second place is FAR behind in terrorist funding.

What is winning in this context? Is decentralization and the inability to take down this network all the incentive you need to keep using it?
Why is everyone's goal seemingly to get everyone on the planet using their thing?
If you find it useful, use it.
If you think other people would find it useful, tell them about it.
The alternative is to be in prison with everyone else. Don't lament being free just because all the people you think are dummies are stuck in prison.

It's not really debatable. The US literally gave Iran Pallets of cash, funded ISIS, backed the mujahideen, backed Al-Qaeda in Syria, not to mention all of the CIA Ops of color revolutions around the world. There is no second best.

There used to be jokes about how the NASA program spent $500k on a pen that could write in space. Russians used a pencil.
The incentives point toward spending money whenever you can so that you can justify bigger budgets in the future.

Really? I would suggest you look into funding and declared spending. There are also Earth-based videos that are said to be orbit based when it is clearly not from the meta data. Any government program has the incentive to do things cheaply and say the result was expensive.

It's a misdirected distrust of the NASA money laundering and lying. NASA lies quite a lot, doesn't mean the earth is flat but, speculation is a devils playground.

Yes, that was kind of my point that I was alluding to when I said "...depends on other centralization factors more so than comms channels." the centralization vector I was speaking of was that of national defense.

To magnify #1: Load balancing of every electrical generator could be handled by a swarm of mining machines.
4: Heat applications, HVAC, and hot tubs ( Like @nprofile…v7j4 ) as an integrated benefit.
And if projects like what @nprofile…5frw are working on become ubiquitous, you can replace #2 with #3 in local pools as miner clubs almost like when a company's employees pitch in to all buy a batch of lottery tickets and split the winnings but with bitcoin.

I mean, doing it IRL. Not just talking.

Turns out when you throw billions of stolen dollars at a singular focus they can pick a time of profound inflation, war, and strife to basically shoot a bank shot off of the moon. Nice. Definitely the MOST important thing to do right now.

Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch — as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. - 1 Corinthians 5:7-8
So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. - Romans 7:4
Basically interpreted as Easter and Passover overlap (because the last supper was Passover) but, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday became the focus of the church. Because gentiles became the predominant group, Easter became the focal point of time.

Again, that is the new covenant. Jesus made a new covenant and Passover was not one of the lessons of commemoration. That was from the God of retributive justice.
Jesus' new covenant was one of forgiveness and his divinity and through him one's redemption lays.
The celebration of his sacrifice is obviously part of thr new covenant.

The same reason Christians don't sacrifice animals. Christ was the new covenant. Passover was the old covenant.

Doesn't that make sense from a defense standpoint? If my house was under seige from a gang like let's say, the police.
And my kids started posting pictures and videos from the inside of the house showing that I am not watching the back windows. Doesn't that make attack very trivial?
People even unwittingly can post a vulnerability that americans and isrealis would immediately jump on.
It's not really a difficult calculation to make. Whether that is a good or bad system depends on other centralization factors more so than comms channels.
