He’s bang on here 🎯
“”
Do you really think BRICS is interested in adding a meme coin to their reserves, or one controlled by an American CEO? Do you believe they’d choose a USD stablecoin issued by an American company trying to position itself as a neo-Federal Reserve Bank?
Or are they far more likely to adopt the coin that has been relentlessly vilified and condemned by the U.S. for over 15 years precisely because it operates beyond U.S. control? The coin that guarantees sovereign access to block space, ensuring transactions cannot be censored or denied, provided they continue to possess the physical power and infrastructure *they've already invested in.*
What many on my news feed fail to grasp is that we are not the only ones who get a vote. The question of “What should be in America’s crypto reserve?” isn’t about what Americans want. The next global reserve asset, by definition, will be the one chosen by other nations—particularly our global competitors. And BRICS will almost certainly favor the asset that offers the greatest independence from U.S. influence—the one that is demonstrably censorship-resistant, provably decentralized, and sovereign. The one that wasn’t premined. The one that isn’t being shilled by cringey, wannabe American influencers. The one the U.S. barely owns, thanks to its own hubris and shortsightedness on this issue.
Our personal preferences are the least important factor in choosing the right assets for our national stockpile, and this is a matter of national strategic importance. The only question that truly matters is this: What assets are *other* countries—especially our adversaries—most likely to choose?
If you cannot confidently say that nations like China or Russia will add massive amounts of your favored crypto asset to *their* strategic reserves, then you are being insincere—and you’re undermining the future security and prosperity of this nation.
Knock it off.

Feel like we need a better argument against “Why not other crypto too?” for any sovereign stockpile (SBR).
Currently we’ve got “because Bitcoin scarce” (arguments that others aren’t don’t feel robust enough), “because they’re premined” (makes sense but need to explain why people should care), “because XRP funded Harris” (this is a vibes & politics argument but might work)

2025-01-24 22:32:07 UTC

Now feels a good time to remind you, anon, that you were certain Bitcoin was gonna win back when the US Gov was actively fighting it and we all assumed the US was going to be the last to embrace it.
Things have only got better, you only need to worry if they get worse than that was.
Ripple’s shitty antics only concern me at the level of feeling pity for the people that’ll lose a lot of money because of them.
Don’t really even care if SBR turns out to be a National Cryptoasset Shitheap. They’ll work it out eventually.

Yeah, it's difficult -- 'normal' people don't know how Swift, Fedwire, SEPA, FasterPayments, CHAPS, CHIPS, NSS, BACS, ACH, Visa etc. etc. *work* or how they even relate to each-other and what they actually *do*, they can just use the appropriate one in a pretty seamless way without having to think about it. Ultimately we'll have to match and exceed that usability, but it's a harder (or at-least rather different) problem to solve without relying on the "do it centrally and let your bank handle that for you" option.

Before I get jumped on, I’m not saying Assange donations aren’t warranted, but OpenSats and others are funding critical work that doesn’t always have the immediacy to rake in large sums, and it’s a slow grind where it is hard to see “what you got” for your donation — nonetheless, you can’t donate to Assange, fight the good fight, or use Bitcoin at all and talk about it on Nostr if it they don’t work, and OpenSats and others are funding that good work

Rather randomly, I’ve recently picked up an old #iPod classic 5th gen and am loving it so far.
(despite the upgrade to use SD card storage being way harder than it’s supposed to be on this cursed iPod 🤣)
iPods are low time preference. Streaming is just somebody else’s music. Listening to a podcast on an iPod is strangely a more engaging experience, and interruption free - you can’t just check Twitter/Nostr/get a call.
A related note, I can’t find an existing solution for “buy my whole music library” which is weird because I want to give someone money and they’re making it hard 🤷‍♂️
Also Apple Music is a bit jank with importing MP3s - it works, but 50/50 whether it matches to the streaming version of the album you already had (yay) or creates duplicates (not yay)

This does sound pretty insane, though the counterfactual "what would have been the 'criminal funds generated annually' had €0 been spent on compliance instead of €144Bn" is worth thinking about (that which is unseen) -- but the bar is still very high, if expenditure is €144Bn then the crime it prevented would have to be on the order of €1Tn to be merely ~10% complicance loss... which is a lot of 'crime'.

Checking out https://radicle.xyz, a P2P Git thingy -- I really like what I'm seeing... It's not Nostr but I'm not sure it would actually be better if it was. Supports DIDs so `did:btc:...` (Orange) and `did:key:` for Secp256k1 keys (bitcoin and nostr) would work, they're just not implemented (yet 😏)
Nostr-based decentralised git things also progressing (https://gitworkshop.dev/ and probably others?), which is great, beacuse IMO there's so much complacency around GitHub as the one big centralised repository for all open-source software just continuing to work fine forever.

2024-04-29 18:50:53 UTC

Been thinking about this a bit -- *perhaps*, one of the reasons Lightning has taken so long is that we're only just realising how important the LSP component is. Wallets/nodes that work with a LSP are so much easier to run and use for non-dev and non-in-it-as-a-business people. Even as a dev, I'm fairly hesitant to sign myself up for the maintenance effort of running a normal Lightning node.
Things like Phoenix, @npub1xnf…lpr5, Phoenixd and @npub1mut…23vg (mutiny server soon! 👀) are just so much easier to work with than "just" run LND/Eclair/C-Lightning/LDK-Node etc. Is the logical conclusion that for Lightning node-running to become prolific, LSPs (or more accurately, a way for nodes to 'buy' inbound from and get channels with others) have to become an inherent part of the Lightning protocol? Feels like it to me.

There is also signet, which is a different testnet that works more like Liquid where blocks aren’t mined by hashing, instead they’re just signed by a set of known keys. Mutinynet is another signet.
Arguably signet is better for testing Lightning as the blocks are more predictable and shenanigans like Lopp’s attack can’t happen - testnet is useful for testing anything that needs the chain to behave more like actual Bitcoin (mining software, ASICs, reorgs etc)

2024-04-28 18:22:32 UTC

- reply

I believe it’s because people started testing runes on testnet, then started selling testnet runes and testnet-Bitcoin. So attacking the chain was a fairly effective but coarse way to stop that.
A testnet reset is being discussed on the mailing list (testnet4) but a reset has not happened for ages so opinions are mixed so there’s not currently consensus on what exactly to do

Mostly agree; though it's always sad and painful to see people that aren't "in the Bitcoin camp" enough to have got the advice about Lightning and UTXO consolidation hitting pain with on-chain fees and not knowing what to do, feeling lied-to or misled somehow.

Yes, but if and only if you already know the merkle tree structure, no? If I’m looking at an old Nostr note and want to find the image it had in it now the original URL is dead, and only have the whole file hash, I wouldn’t know what the merkle root hash is. Pretty easy to solve by having both hashes available, but it is a slightly different problem

That has the issue that the merkle root hash is not the same as the file hash, so how do you then do discovery? (I want this file hash has to be resolved to a merkle root then I also have to download the whole thing before I can verify that that is indeed the file I wanted)
