This guy actually thinks that China will take over Bitcoin.

Wouldn't using a variable IV in the encryption handshake scramble the ciphertext and mitigate analysis though?

I mean, that quote is not really relevant in the context of dog murdering. Even the more dimwitted of Americans are absolutely pissed about this, because they love dogs.

Coordinators are NOT the solution to the privacy problem
The number of public coordinators being ran is far too low (so far, 1 AFAIK).
Unless you are planning to run your own instance of a privacy solution, stop bashing people who recommend them.

To elaborate on my previous comment, the *only* way you can successfully create a resilient coinjoin service is by incentivising hundreds of people to run a copy of it. This is similar to how bitcoin encouraged people to run a node in order to mine a block in the early days.
Small financial incentives are the way, the total coinjoin capacity may be small but it has the potential for onboarding more runners.

Now you know why UTXO blacklisting was never going to work. Law enforcement is never satisfied with technological deterrents, they want the whole thing down.

+1 for decentralization. But the next thing that we have to do is try to prevent Nostr clients from being shut down.
Because governments WILL go after them eventually, just like they go after Telegram and Signal. It is not a matter of if, but when.
Nostr will be extremely successful but does it have the resilience of Bitcoin? We shall see. Or maybe better not to wait and see but to go out to protect the clients, relays, and messages.

A sybil attack on Nostr is significantly more dangerous than on Bitcoin because of the high value in deanonymizing people who write controversial content.

Nice! Although I would like to ask you a question. So far, the only jobs I've heard of where you could get turned down for having too much experience is e.g. minimum wage jobs when you got a degree in something.
So what kind of jobs did you initially apply to that rejected your offer?

A few days ago I set up my first LN channel.
The problem is, my payments still aren't getting routed cause the software can't find a route between my node and the target node.
Can't even pay my Voltage invoice with Lightning.
I guess I'll have to open another channel.

And yet when a business or a rich person hides money in an offshore bank and grey corporate structures, it's "just fine", but when we use coinjoin, then suddenly we are on a most wanted list.

The Product Manifesto
A business should make products that are so good, they'd only sell each person one of them.
Improve each yearly model of the product by so much that people actually want to buy more, instead of needing to.
Supply chains will stop manufacturing old models after the latest version is designed.
Very soon after, the stores will fill their entire stock with the new models, because the old ones will have already been sold out.
As products age naturally and start to wear out, people will want to go buy a newer one anyway.
The key is want, not need.
Businesses who make people need to buy a new product are doing it wrong.
You have to make the user want your product, not need it. Competition with other vendors is good. Monopolies are bad.

Indeed it is quite strange where the various paths of life end up taking us, but there always seems to be one common theme across all of them - the underlying desire that you've got for one particular thing is always there following you.

Among other things, this means that consumers need to make use of layer 2 solutions.
I have been trying to get onboard with LN to pay off my small bills, but it's not been working well especially because not all sites support it.

Block size increases kill the fee economy, if there isn't a similar increase in user transactions.

I feel as though crypto payment processors, and in particular ones that don't have obnoxious verification requirements, are going to be in demand very soon after the next halving.
