100% ... Bitcoiners are like Bluesky users, they will call you a Nazi for using Twitter and take great pride in harassing you until you deactivate your Bluesky account because they just like it cozy conformist and obscure Have fun staying poor but will also burn you at the stake if you dare asking for anything that helps scaling or UX or trustless bridges. The IQ ratio between Bitcoiners on social media and the average Bitcoin developer is more or less ZERO. View quoted note →

Bitcoiners reject any change that would allow people to build decentralised solutions like these while paying fees to Bitcoin miners, then when developers go build their own Blockchain or use other Blockchains as Bitcoiners told them to... Bitcoiners call them shitcoiners!!! I am starting to get childish vibes here. Everyone who wants to build a sustainable system will start to learn to absolutely ignore these retards, and just do what is best for their users. View quoted note →

I have said this and I will say it again; people are not just lazy or ignorant, the service is simply not valuable enough, if anything, people welcome not being able to use social media, they use it for the same reason they eat cheap fast food; they can't afford what they really want; IRL quality experiences and relationships. No one will pay to scroll, nor they should. View quoted note →

You don't hate Jewish supremacists enough... Remember this when they get killed and people call them innocent civilians View quoted note →

Congratulations to @Ark Labs and the team, looking good.

The more people talk about these systems as actual payments and not just credit the better... Bitcoin has been suffering from good as an enemy of the perfect for so long, and totally surrendering the market to KYC garbage. View quoted note →

Businesses benefit a lot from centralisation and gate keeping, but if you are in the business of non-kyc Bitcoin services... You really owe it to yourself to organise your data in a ledger, make it public and make your server algorithmically replaceable... Because your service is going to be shutdown sooner or later, and you lose all your hard earned credibility... Give yourself a chance to salvage that later with a dark service.

My most common argument has always been that decentralised search is impossible, this is still true, but I think every vertical (streaming, micro blogging, video, etc ..) should have some standard most likely imposed by a client, and let few indexers compete .. but I have no idea how would the indexers get paid when the clients have all the power. Still, if Podcasts can interop, maybe more segments of the web can.

Soft fork idea; any UTXO being spent has to include it's entire Utreexo proof in the witness. Oh you have been hording a UTXO from Satoshi days? Your consolidation transaction costs extra 7kb per input... Sorry.

There is no such thing as opposition in zionism, all zionists are genocidal scum that are also supremacists and shameless enough to demand you don't believe your own eyes because they said so... View quoted note →

This is a horrible ad given that most people still don't know that BTC is divisible View quoted note →

There is a revisionist idea that Web 2.0 created walled gardens because (insert your least favourite thing) is evil, in reality walled gardens are just well scoped well aligned group of people with incentives to cooperate for the purpose of good experience. The only other sustainable form of interoperability are; 1. Open source Dictatorship (Linux, Git, etc..) 2. Standards committees plutocracy (even worse than #1) 3. Adversarial interoperability; where you reverse engineer your competitors formats to steal their edge (.PSD, etc..) #1 and #3 are the source of all the good things in the web. If you want to change thing about Nostr, just build the best app you want, capture as much of the user base as you can, and everyone will just follow you, and you will save yourself the drama.

It is safe to express your hatred for genocidal scum, be proud of it. View quoted note →

You can verify arbitrary computations over private inputs, on Bitcoin, right now. Time to build useful stuff with that.

Filter people want compliant Bitcoin nodes ... I wonder how long before KYC is part of Knots consensus. View quoted note →
