@Rob Hamilton if anchorwatch and the web wallet disappears, where can customers go to access their funds? Is the only current option manually restoring to the BTC core wallet? Because that would be tough for most users though certainly possible… I’m sure you and Becca would try to exit gracefully but just always good to consider

Soft fork TED talk: CSFS: check a signature on the stack, conceptually just like the existing CheckSig function but for data on the stack CTV: the hash of the next transaction needs to look like this…

GM! Bitcoin will die unless it eventually develops a sustained high fee environment. Everyone needs to start getting comfortable that no one is entitled to permanent low fees unless you want Bitcoin to die. Act accordingly.

@Praveen Perera Cove is great!

If you have a 9-5 fiat mine gig, then a package that requires a signature to deliver is hell. I wind up spending hours and hours tracking that bullshit down to some store that has a giant line and is annoying af

My grandfather came back from fighting in the US army in the pacific theater of WW2 as a pacifist. He told me nothing was worth the horrors he saw, and that war was mostly rich old men sending poor young men to die. My great grandfather fled WW1 alone as a child after watching soldiers torture his entire family to death. It’s easy to have a black and white view of war when you and your family aren’t the ones dying horrifically.

GM, spicy take time: the default security/privacy position of a stock iPhone is superior to the average stock android phone. Absolutely if you are savvy enough to heavily customize Android settings or run a custom rom such as Graphene this can tilt, but for the average pleb who will run the out of the box software largely unchanged then iPhone is more secure and private. Real world evidence just keeps stacking… https://news.sky.com/story/meta-found-covertly-tracking-android-users-through-instagram-and-facebook-13379083

The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous - Orwell 1984

Even setting aside any political/social issue itself, its ethics, and its legality: if your way of getting what you want is to set your local city ablaze then your main accomplishment will be that everyone hates you, doesn’t support your cause, and that you fail long term. It’s just not a smart way to get what you want. Highly counter productive.

If anyone asks for ID info/pictures online, always immediately ask if it is legally required or if they just want to have it. Shockingly often people will admit it’s not required and they have alternatives that may not be too much more effort. Make saying no or at least asking questions the default.

Mainstream internet is just broken. Try to listen to music, 5 minutes on an impossible captcha, and then STILL HAVE TO LOGIN BECAUSE IT SUSPECTS IM A BOT. WTF?! You need KYC for listening to music?
