So #Monero is being persistently 51% attacked right now by paying miners who merge mine a shitcoin token and reorging all of the blocks produced by the rest of the network. And miners are staying because they are making like 300% what the other miners are making do to the shitcoin. Looks like they’ve had a few 6 block reorgs and it’s still just rolling like this. 🤯😬 Experiments in malicious crypto economics in real time. https://moneroconsensus.info/?s=09

GUY SWANN SHARES A PHOTO OF HIS TRAVEL SAFE! 🔥 BEST OF ALL, HE’S NOT STUPID ENOUGH KEEP MONEY IN A CREDIT TOKEN THAT SOMEBODY ELSE WILL PRINT 3 TRILLION MORE OF THIS YEAR. (did you know twitter throttles your post if you use the word "stupid"? 🤦‍♂️ )

Why do new appliances all sound like old annoying 8 bit video games? I set the temperature on the oven and it does a little jingle like I just got a mushroom in Super Mario Brothers. This is such a dumb and pointlessly bothersome “tech” trend.

If everyone builds a project they want to see in the world, 90% of the won’t work right, or will make poor decisions, or have bad timing, but 10% of them will move us forward in a major way. And 1% of them will change the entire question of what to build and where things are going next. Just keep building, whatever you can. It’s like proof of work. Not all hashes produce blocks, but your hashes are worth the same as everyone else’s. Let’s brute force our way to the world we want to live in.

You don't shut down the internet and communications of a population unless you don't want the world knowing what you are doing there.

By an order of magnitude, the most valuable use case of LLMs has been coding. It’s another shift in our history similar to the leap from painting to photography.

Happy Bitcoin Independence Day 🔥🫡 On this day in 2017, the USAF community movement (user activated soft fork) successfully executed the flag day to activate the Segwit upgrade after years of the Blocksize Wars and failure to reach any real agreement on a fork. Instead, an unwavering community of users running full nodes decided they would activate SegWit regardless, and miners can either accept Segwit transactions or not. Essentially the user community called the bluff of the SegWit2X business+mining group who continuously pushed as if they had control over what software would be running the Bitcoin network. Instead, the conviction & viral growth of the USAF movement was substantial enough to scare the majority of the hash power and businesses to abandon S2X to prevent forking themselves from the network of users. Shortly after the USAF execution on the network, Bitmain, Ver & Co forked their own coin, Bitcoin Cash (Bcash) to remove segwit and produce 8MB blocks. Even though the debate continues in some corners of social media, this day marked the official end of the Blocksize Wars.

Vibe coding is fun
