Have we decided what the blake2b forkers are called? Without input, I have settled on "Potatoes".
My logic, summarized:
blake2b'ers => blaketubers => tubers => potatoes
I was one of the unreasonable psychopaths that set up my seeds with dice. I was lucky to become so singularly obsessed with bitcoin that I went that far, years before everyone forgot vendor diversity and real-world entropy were important.
Self-custody, as a concept is fucked, if people have to be as obsessed as I was. It's an unreasonable ask, and the hardware wallet industry needs to stop lazily thrusting BIP39 on everyone, like it's se perfect, divine solution.
I have like 250k monero microfluffies. Can I buy a coffee yet? Or do I have to wait for someone to invent super private coffee for paranoid internet assholes.
Does anyone remember Andrew Desantis? He was like some sort of early bitcoin schizo crank with like a million projects that were gonna save the world. He occassionally did scammy or deceptive things to fuck with dumb people on Twitter.
What happened to that guy?
Executed a perfect upgrade of CLN, only to have clboss, with channel closing capabilities turned on, decide that my node being in --offline mode qualified as dead channel activities.
So it greased every fucking one of my channels.
Now I have to wait days for most of the funds.
I am just smart enough to know when someone is smart enough to pretend to be smarter than they are. Basically, I can sniff out a crank.
But I'm too dumb to figure out how to tell the people that are being fooled by the crank.
It's a useless skill. You just have to sit back and wait for the crank to crash out or piss off enough people.
The only people these days who care or know how the internet works are either retired or furries. Everyone else just uses it.
Same thing will happen to bitcoin. Thinking your grandmother is going to manage seed phrases from her personal Faraday cage bunker is beyond delusional.
