Yeah I tend to agree.
I'm thinking that Iran's best move at this point is probably to just keep smashing Israel. According to Trump this is all about nuclear weapons, and according to Trump he just destroyed their capacity to produce nuclear weapons. So there should be no reason for any further US involvement unless their true intention was nothing to do with nuclear weapons and everything to do with Israel and the SCO.

They don't run a node to validate the coins they are buying?

2025-05-14 23:42:33 UTC

It's good to see some serious competition to core even though it's ramping up in response to a non problem.
Mempool is simply a transaction marketplace, it needs to offer parity with consensus rules or it will be obsoleted by a market that does.
Developers and miners and the overwhelming majority of node runners have no hard power over the protocol anyway.
Hard power lies with the set of people who run a node AND receive bitcoin in exchange for something else.
Since we bitcoiners produce close to 0% of the products and services in the global economy, bitcoin is acting as a financial instrument within the fiat economy and NOT as an alternative to it.
Hard power over the protocol mostly lies with financial players like exchanges, ETFs, and companies like microstrategy, because they receive (and validate) the most bitcoin in exchange for something else (a bit of paper, a trading account balance, etc).

It's up to the people who receive bitcoin in exchange for something else. They decide what bitcoin is and therefore what the hard cap is.

This is a communist approach. The free market approach is whoever pays the most gets the block space.

2025-04-30 09:20:10 UTC

Unit bias is a thing. A huge percentage of the population don't stack sats because they "can't afford a whole coin".
Getting someone like Coinmarketcap to list sats instead of wholecoins would shift the Overton window and be a robust blow to wholcoiner orthodoxy.

We take the hour and divide it into minutes. This is the first pass at dividing the hour, and we call the collection of these minutiae the "minutes".
Then we take the minute divisions, and divide them again, for a second time. That's why we call them "seconds".

She's trying to spend money from an account that isn't hers. Try doing that with a banking app anywhere in the world and they're going to verify you one way or another. It's nothing to do with the government.
There are a number of commonly accepted ways to pay for stuff in China (and a CBDC is *not* one of them). Cash is still widely accepted, worst case she could have just gone to an ATM.

Use amboss.space / rpo.dev to turn your lightning node into a branch of the State! How cypherpunk!
Not sure what the point is though, since that just means you'll also comply with the upcoming ban on self-custody which means there's literally no reason to even have a node in the first place.

The most effective way to orange pill society is to produce something that society wants, and demand Bitcoin as payment.
This forces people to study Bitcoin and figure out how to access it.
Team Fiat is producing iPhones, cars, air travel, houses, etc. It's impossible to access without having fiat in the loop.
This is creates demand for access to fiat.
What is Team Bitcoin producing? What products and services are *impossible* to acquire without having Bitcoin in the loop?
What products and services are we producing to drive the demand for access to our magic internet money?

Problem: can't create initial merit cap table
Merit requests must be approved by existing merit holders, but when a rocket is first created there are no merit holders.
Solution: allow the creator of a new rocket to instantiate a new merit cap table for their rocket with 1 merit and locked for a lead time of 1 such that their votepower is 1.
This will give the creator of the new rocket 100% of the initial votepower and they can begin approving or rejecting new merit requests.
