Last Notes
Well, by the current implementation each side chain would have to do the FCMP within itself, but yes, with FCMP the membership set would include everyone within the side chain. There’s probably a way to expand the membership proofs to include sidechains — I can’t confidently say this is true, implementing this would be significantly beyond my pay grade — but I don’t think it is necessary, it won’t affect Monero’s fungibility. “This transaction came from anyone in the current chain” is large enough to be fungible.
In a way Monero’s aggressive delisting has done it a massive favor. Because every time Bitcoin (or any other chain’s) fees have been excessively high, it has been because of the mania of speculative investors and not actual use cases. And the entire actions of Bitcoiners these past few years have been trying to convince some investor of an unfalsifiable claim that villages in South America are using Bitcoin all the time, while keeping plausibly deniable. Bitcoin’s development has been subject to the near exclusive pressures of ideologues or transient hot money. Monero, with its lack of access to the major liquidity sources, has continued to simply address the needs of people actually using it. If eCash proves a market demand for drivechain Monero can adopt it at its leisure, but fees remain low throughout because it only has actual users and not a flood of deranged speculators.

It is called Starmind because they will interface it to the neuralink chip in your brain.

Hey @nprofile…xdyf , about a month ago my Pixel 5 which runs Graphene accepted a Telegram call from someone i thought i trusted. Upon answering the call the phone went into a bootloop.
It was very hard to catch this, but this icon appears when booting the phone after its been dead and begins to charge.
You seen anything like this before?

I recommend everyone take a look at proscenium. The user experience is a little rough but it has good ideas about censorship resistance and serving content in a distributed fashion.

Anyone who thinks professional sports aren't manipulated also thinks Bitcoin is fungible.

Who cares? People using LN in the real world regularly report 10-25% failure rates. This is not serious shit. At a slavic moneychanger that means people are screaming and threatening violence because that was their rent or food money. It’s not acceptable, it’s not viable. Major LN proponents are quoting “mere” 1% failure rates. That’s insane. Most businesses do over 100 transactions a day, and at a moneychanger that means there’s going to be multiple major problems in a day where people don’t know what’s going on with their money. This shit has turned people off from Bitcoin *forever*. People simply want their remittances to work and they don’t tolerate any degree of failure. The Bitcoin industry has pushed unacceptably unreliable products into spaces that cannot tolerate it.

people aren't wash trading TRX-USDT as far as I can tell. You go outside of the United States, in most Eastern Europe for example, and people do not want Bitcoin at all. Lightning has turned them off of it completely, and for cash deals everyone wants TRX-USDT. There’s 10 places in my raion where I can change crypto to cash and all of them want a massive fee now to do Bitcoin. They don’t want the operational exposure to anything but TRX-USDT now, it is the sole ledger they want to interact with.
If you’re widely traveled you see this everywhere. People are using TRON massively for actual remittance and foreign exchange transactions. They are completely uninterested in Bitcoin after seeing a dozen LN wallets eat their time and/or money.
Monero has active sidechains (p2pool) and merge mining (Tari, others soon to come). If drivechain scales Bitcoin, it can also scale Monero in virtually the exact same manner.
I think this is historically and economically illiterate.

eventually a single bitcoin will be able to buy the entirety of earth. Nobody will want food, water, real estate, or prostitutes. They will only desire sats.
completely false. Even when there was hard money, when everyone was using physical gold, equity, real estate, and optionality generated a superior return. Gold does not inherently pay dividends. Your vision of a financial system without debt contracts is hilarious, and ends up with a load of perverse incentives like Islamic finance. Because families need a roof to live under, and it costs more than an average laborer’s year’s income for land and construction of a domicile. It always has and always will. Collateralized debt contracts are an inherent externality of people’s needs being greater than their ability to pay for them, so there is a give-and-take between capital and labor. The only systems that argue against this are communist ones, and Bitcoin is not going to lead to a communist utopia.

Does that replace the employment contract or just the requirement for the utility bill?
no, they just heavily restrict the distribution of sassafras oil because it became a drug precursor and regulating the supply of precursor is a relatively effective way of preventing domestic fabrication. Of course, that just means all the MDMA comes in on containerships from Asia or gets carted over the border from Mexico. We’re so much better off with spics and gooks securing the actual profit center of synthesis!
Safrole is the reason why authentic root beer is outlawed.
I swapped some litecoin for monero late last night and woke up to messages on signal from friends telling me bsx was hacked. Luckily, i swapped with a non-malicious provider. 🫨
Non KYC monero protects you.
Most privacy coins do in fact.
Pretending Bitcoin has a 100 years is hilarious. If it doesn’t have a sustainably viable economy based on real use cases in 100 years it will be worth nothing. Something else will have replaced it. Bitcoin has to address what people actually want to do with money if it wants to be money.
I want Bitcoin to be money. Most money is spent, in one way or another, on contracts. Notional amounts outstanding in all forms of contracts exceed the amount of currency. The bond market is greater than USD M1, for example. So is the notional amounts outstanding of interest rate swaps. And the value of equities. If Bitcoin is only used to buy coffee, it is not real money. It needs to be able to execute contracts in a trustless fashion to be the real basis of a financial system, and truly be money. Especially when it’s been made deliberately bad for doing retail business, as it is not private or fungible. Contracts were all that are left when you have a transparent ledger.
that's sassafras, not saffron. Sassafras contains safrole, which you distill, then convert to the next precursor, isafrole.
Perhaps so, but that’s not an argument. Bitcoin needed to be the basis of a new financial system, as per its creator’s desires.
Bitcoin doesn’t have the properties of money, due to the fact that Core refuses to adopt a private ledger via, despite Satoshi explicitly expressing saying that “a much better, easier, more convenient implementation of Bitcoin would be possible” if ring signatures/ledger privacy could effectively be implemented.

Bitcoin is not fungible, it does not have the properties of money, so it cannot chase away “non-monetary” use cases. Because it doesn’t have significant monetary use cases anymore. The fee market is a ghost town.
Refusing a sustainably viable fee economy when you don’t have any other economy is far more retarded than I may be.

for reference, on most days now, the volume of USDT on TRON alone exceeds the daily volume of Bitcoin. Fucking TRON!
Merge mined sidechains could have allowed all this stuff to happen gracefully, and all of this ecosystem could have been connected to Bitcoin, but now it is too late.
True fungibility protects everyone, from a tiny criminal minority to the honest masses.
Strip privacy from money and you don't stop crooks, you cage everyone.
wasn't that visibly a mistake though? And contracts are hardly a non-monetary use case. Right now more monetary usages of contracts are happening in alts because Luke and others aggressively chased away all the actually important financial businesses. All that’s left is people trying to pawn their bags off on pensioners
Everything doesnt need a microchip.

Lol. I guess there was an inifnite inflation bridge hack on Polygon with Ghost earlier this month.
Im glad when they asked me back in December to integrate it into Meile i put it off.

most people *do not care* if the payment is peer to peer or not. They want it to work well and not cause problems.
Look at the OP. He had a $5 payment jammed up. The CS graduate developer of the most popular Nostr client in the world is describing 30% failure rates with zaps. Custodial LN has become untenable because of regulators, noncustodial LN is completely unreliable when you get any significant number of people using it. It’s not working.
Bitcoin is now competing with Monero. Because Monero is banned in so many jurisdictions, nearly all of its value is because of its use as a medium of exchange and not speculative. In contrast, most of Bitcoin’s value comes with jerkoff treasury companies/Saylor types trying to convince pensioners to buy it. This is not sustainable.
If you want peer to peer payments, you have to have a payment network that will attract peers. Using LN as money has become garbage in nearly the entirety of the world.
yes.

Its funny. I was thinking i needed a computer part two days ago and the first site i went to was Xmrbazaar to see if anyone had one listed.
It almost has become my first stop in the search for things.
Hey buddy, best of luck. My company made a small Firo donation the other day. I absolutely believe crypto was made for this sort of aid.
