Love your takes on macro, but Mara is a bad actor in the space. They mine something like 99% of the non-financial transactions (i.e. spam) and contribute to the problem of mining and pool centralization. I'm guessing it's small chance that'll change for you, so I'm conflicted. Regardless, I appreciate your insights. View quoted note →

@Vitor Pamplona Is there a way to get Amethyst to remember the last known note/position upon reopening the all? I enjoy the animations and transitions of new notes loading but frustrating to have to scroll back down to find the last thing I read? (I prefer to scroll through chronologically)

I regret to inform you that shitcoins are still out their doing their thing. I've been having email discussion with an American company about when they'll accept #BTC for payments after they announced they'd be adopting a BTC treasury. They then released this today: image I responded with this: image I received this in response and just can't bring myself to engage further. Anyone want to take a crack at it? image #asknostr #bitcoin

I was already running Knots and Datum for my miners for true solo/lottery mining. After the last two weeks following the debate on Twitter and podcast I just can't see any good, consistent reason for maxing OP_RETURN size AND nuking configuration options. It's clear they want to homogenize all mempools which makes mining centralization even more of a problem. Need to get back to original vision of nodes being in control and nodes/miners being more coterminous. View quoted note →

Knots is not maintained by "just one guy". This is a misunderstanding. Please have Bitcoin Mechanic/Grassfed Bitcoin on to get the other side on this. The real issue is mining pool centralization, which is what Stratum v2 was trying to solve, but now Datun has basically solved, and you run that along with Knots. Fix the mining pool issue and you the "spammers will be incentiized to go directly to miners" argument becomes moot. View quoted note →

Shinobi is like Bitcoin's version of Reddit atheists and lolbertarians doing a "well akshually". The fact that he admitted he can't steelman the opposition tells me everything I need to know. Doing that is histrionic moralphagging, "It's so absurd I can't even...they must be crazy!" View quoted note →
