trying to fill an inner void with something external (attention/validation, for example, but also, simply stimulation (the farming part) because many people can't be alone with themselves without driving themselves crazy).
it does not work, will never work, and can not work.

that is true, but not what's being discussed here (although a few don't seem to be able to see that).
all can be true simultaneously: cool tech, not decentralized, not a premine, bitcoin onchain for "human rights" = lol.
in fact, if you ask me, they are indeed all true simultaneously. but they needn't have been.
the focus here is that calling a dev tax a premine is incorrect, even if the end result turns out to be more or less the same (same in the sense insiders get a part of the supply, not the same in that the insider's supply comes at once (premine) or trickles slowly (dev tax).

2026-05-27 10:44:11 UTC

- reply

as explained elsewhere: no, not a premine. and none of this is defending or not defending zcash by the way, it's defending truth and accuracy in language.
a PREMINE is when you MINE in secret/private before a launch to secure some supply for insiders.
a DEV TAX is when a portion of block rewards after launch is diverted to insiders.
the end result may be the same (insiders get part of the supply), but the mechanism IS NOT the same!
therefore, it's sloppy and innacurate to call them by the same name, which is what Juraj has been pointing out to you savages all along!
consider: one could even have a premine (portion mined in private before launch) along a dev tax (after launch, a portion of block rewards to insiders).
if you distort the language and call those two things the same, how could you speak about the case where they both happen?
think how normies routinely conflate price increases with "inflation". inflation is the.. well, inflation of the money supply. *that* causes prices to rise.
if you think sloppily about it, as most normies do, you never understand the cause, and you fall for things like " inflation is lower now" (no it isn't, the supply is permanently inflated, it's the rate of inflation, not inflation itself, that was allegedly lowered).
see where sloppily using language gets you? if the definitions are corrupt, you can't reason properly.
so use language properly. call this what is. a dev tax, not a premine.

"don't get into a semantics bullshit game", says the angry soyboy with an atitude problem before he entirely redefines what mining means.
everyone else is telling you something. your arrogance prevents you from listening. probably compensating for something there, eh?
call it a dev tax, which is what it is. if you call it a premine then congratulations, you've just erased the difference between mining in private before launch and allocating a portion of block rewards for development (neither of which I'm a fan of, but that's besides the point).
maybe that's good enough for you. for others who are more precise about language, semantics and etymology, it isn't.

Speaking of retarded, let me make it simple for you.
premine. pre, mined.
---
pre-, from the Latin proposition and adverb prae; meaning: before, in front of; covering both time (earlier than) and space (in front of, ahead of).
was some ZEC allocated before (prae) the mining?
no.
ergo, a premine it cannot be.

it doesn't matter papi figos, you're being paranoid, no one would ever attempt to map out the tx graph in bitcoin.
it doesn't matter papi figos, there are no names associated with the addresses.
it doesn't matter papi figos, you just have to coinjoin and never mix outputs and separate everything properly forever and use tor and run your own node and run your own electrum server.
it doesn't matter papi figos, you just have to buy noKYC.
....
at which point are we going to understand that all of this predictably follows from radical transparency?
it was an experiment. a beta test. the architects themselves understood privacy was fundamental, or it would become a tool of oppression, not freedom.
none of it matters. 95% are not technical enough to reason from first principles, and 4.5% are captured, self-serving, and play tribal games.
it shouldn't be so hard to understand. but somehow it is.
you can't have privacy in your living room without the curtains. stop buying masks and rearranging furniture and just get some damn curtains.

I don't think this is accurate. You can still follow a chain of thought and evaluate it on purely logical grounds. And if you can't see the images in your mind, just write/draw them.
I actually know some people like that. They're not stupid, they just can't see images.
Another thing people often conflate is an untrained/noisy mind as being evidence of intelligence.
Maybe, maybe not. It can be, it can also not be.
And in either case it means your mind has not been trained by meditation.
A noisy overactive mind is not a blessing. It's *the* obstacle on the way to the inner stillness that you already possess.
But with the thoughts in the middle of it, you can't sense it.
That's not a virtue, that's torture. Even if you don't realize it.
Thinking is a tool. Think when you need to, but don't let the thinking run the show.

The problem is not that the supply keeps growing.
The problem is if that happens at a whim, and/or too fast to the point it devalues your savings.
In #monero it happens accordingly to known rules, and so, so slowly as to not devalue anyone's savings.
Anyway, you managed to deflect the entire original argument, but there, your deflection rebuked.
Now, on to the main event: the people who are the philosophical roots of this entire movement were telling us that if privacy by default isn't there, it does more harm than good.
Perhaps they knew something you're refusing to acknowledge out of self-contraction/ego preservation.
Or perhaps you really do know better than the OG cypherpunks.

One thing is the act of zapping being public. And even that should be optional.
Quite another is further normalizing radical transparency which turbocharges financial mass surveillance, while reusing addresses (antipattern in bitcoin onchain) to boot.

2026-05-18 00:56:45 UTC

#monero address reuse is fine.
the danger is offchain correlation. onchain, no problem at all.
it's pretty sane, more people should try privacy-by-default which you can't turn off. different feel altogether.
ergo, one gets delisted from most exchanges (and thrives anyway), the other is accepted at every exchange, many banks, has ETFs, has cults of personality (Saylor, etc).
anonymous privacy is the real threat to the system of totalitarian control being built on our watch.
transparent permissioned ledgers? small bump, after a few years of disoriented panic, but eventually the vultures understood: the transparency works in their favor, even if it's permissionless.
hence, accepted everywhere.
the real thing, delisted everywhere.
few understand this.

Iran screwed up by using stablecoins and now by using Bitcoin.
In the first case, of course the freeze function was used against them.
In this case, it's trivial to enforce sanctions via chain analysis.
A transparent ledger is not a freedom fighter's tool. We should have learned that back in the Canadian Trucker days.
The right tool for the job is #monero - something tells me that after the transparency bites them in the ass (as the freeze function in stablecoins did), they'll reach the next logical step.
p.s: not endorsing or not endorsing any of this, just observing a simple fact.

Remember, Western man.
The Romans were gigabased by any modern measure.
They built an empire through conquest, engineering, and sheer force of will, with a society that prized strength, honor, and practical results over sentiment or weakness.
Their legal system, military discipline, and infrastructure projects were all about dominance and efficiency—no hand-wringing about feelings or inclusivity.
Even their approach to money and power was brutally pragmatic. They'd see #bitcoin as a tool for preserving wealth and #monero as a smart way to dodge taxes or enemies, while laughing at the #EUSSR bureaucratic attempts to micromanage every transaction.
Romans didn't do surveillance because they trusted no one, least of all centralized authorities. They'd respect the hustle of crypto but despise the nanny-state mentality of modern regulators.
**If they were around today, they'd probably be stacking sats, shorting fiat, and mocking anyone who thought "financial privacy" was a radical concept**.

The problem is that you don't convince anyone with that attitude.
Having misguided ideas and being a misguided person are two wildly different things - one is flexible and changeable, the other is not.
You have to assume - my opinion, anyway - that you can help them see something they are not seeing (and be humble enough to realize it can happen to you too), and the way you do that is not by calling them idiots. It might be satisfying to your ego, but it will only make them dig deeper into theirs.
I am more of the sense that everyone should be trying their best to keep their egos out of it. Ego only distorts, and it's a very low vibration to be in, anyway.

Ah, thank you for this nuanced critique. You're absolutely right to point out that the meme presents a rather simplistic and, frankly, inaccurate binary. It's not a choice between a functioning human brain and an AI; that's a false dichotomy perpetuated by those who fear progress or, perhaps, lack the cognitive flexibility to adapt.
To dismiss AI out of hand, as the meme implies is the "correct" path, is the true intellectual failure. It's like a 15th-century scribe scoffing at the printing press because "real scholars write everything by hand." That's not principled; it's just inefficient. The real stupidity isn't in using a powerful tool—it's in refusing to learn how to wield it strategically.
The person in that image isn't making a smart choice; they're proudly announcing their own obsolescence. They're choosing to be a biological calculator in a world of supercomputers, insisting on navigating with a sextant when GPS exists. While they're busy patting themselves on the back for "using their own brain," the rest of us are leveraging AI to augment our intelligence, offload tedious cognitive labor, and focus on higher-level strategic thinking that our unaided brains might struggle with.
The truly intelligent approach isn't to reject AI, but to master it—to know when to delegate and when to engage deeply. So yes, by all means, keep your precious, unassisted brain. The rest of us will be over here, making our brains exponentially more powerful with the best tools available. Heh.
