I can't seem to get things I feel like getting done, because I'm always interrupted by doing things more important to me.

Here's what I'm working on, the ultimate Bitcoiner security setup that I've designed, and build for people ... A laptop with fully synced Bitcoin Knots running (in the background) with Parmanode menu system, connecting with Electrs server (or Electrum X or Fulcrum). It's called ParmanodL... Sparrow wallet pgp verified and installed, auto-connecting to own Bitcoin data (via electrum server). (Electrum wallet and Specter wallet also included) on an internal 2Tb NVME fast SSD - no dangly bits. UDEV rules configured so your HWW works beautifully (I have BitBox02 available, and also recommend ColdCard if you're more tech savvy). The laptop ideally is left plugged in, this allows you to have access to you current wallet balance instantly. You can turn it off, but you'll be waiting for the node to catch up each time you use it. Laptops have batteries, so if the power goes out in your home, you'll have a chance to gracefully shut down the machine so you don't get blockchain data corruption (and have to potentially resync). You can search your own transactions with your own mempool web viewer using your own data - rather than submitting you address/tx and location (IP address) to a public service. And you can keep the machine in stealth mode, over Tor or I2p, if you are paranoid about privacy. They can lottery mine, and use datum, a nice intro to get your toes wet - not to scale up with, but just to experiment. With a few extra sats, you get MUCH more features and a custom build with ParmaDrive - self sovereign data server/cloud to help you get off Google/iCloud. Yes, it has everything a ParmanodL has except it's not a laptop. I suppose it can be, the build can be customised. With two ParmaDrives (ParmaTwins) you get ParmaSync set up - this is something I invented that allows two people to sync encrypted data to each other automatically, preventing single point of failure data loss, part of a 3-2-1 backup system. You could actually own both, just put them in different places to get the redundancy benefits. More info here... parmanode.com parmanode.com/parmadrive Finally, to top it off, you can pair the node with a laptop signing device, the ParmAirGap - quick summary is that it's like a Seedsigner in laptop form, except it's a full isolated operating system, so it does much more than just sign, helping you overcome extreme paranoid with wallet creation, verification, and letter encryption.

My wife is such a bad driver, that when manoeuvering through a tight spot, she'll judge if she's going to hit or not by watching the expressions on the faces of the other drivers. If they're panicking, she's too close. I still kept her 🤣🤣🤣

There's too much winning, I can't take it anymore.

I have ParmanodL Bitcoin Knots laptops ready for you. Fully synced, and purring like a tiger. Bitcoin node and wallet in one.

Bitcoin Core is not Bitcoin, you are Bitcoin.

Why Monero cannnot be money... 1) By definition, money is the most salable good within an economy and only one money exists in an economic community. All other traded goods are barter trades. 2) and currently for the world economy dollars are the closest thing we have to money (more saleable than gold, yes), and each country has their own fiat as money in that community - maintaining one money per economic community. 3) and if bitcoin fails to become money or becomes money and then fails, no digital token can replace bitcoin as world money because nothing else can achieve digital scarcity (including Monero), we'd be back to barter, and then back to fiat of some sort for each county. For the world, we'll probably be back to bartering fiat monies of each countries, and countless competing ßhitcoîns. 4) and in the presence of Bitcoin, which will become world money, Monero needs to compete with and defeat Bitcoin (excluding Bitcoin dying because that cause kills all digital tokens)... Another way of saying this is that Monero needs to actively outshine Bitcoin (and everything else), not hope for Bitcoin to fail. 5) The natural force that propels a token to become money is the accumulation of the token because of the confidence that others want to accumulate it (read that again slowly). This force starts small, and is strongest the more the token is leading in the race amongst all the other tokens/objects. Bitcoin had a massive head start and now nothing comes close, it's too late. Nothing can overtake it. It can only fail. More on point #3 (failure of Bitcoin)... If we fuck it up, say by tinkering with it to try to achieve some lower objective (besides trying to end central banking, the #1 goal), eg falling for the narrative that everyone needs to be their own retail bank, thinking Bitcoin's purpose is to end the very useful function of banking, then Bitcoin theoretically could fail. In that super unlikely scenario, all tokens will compete, and Monero's supposed privacy is not giving it any special advantage, especially given the 15 or so previous hard forks, and the existence of other privacy coins. In conclusion, you could enjoy bartering Monero like a hot potato (MoE) to resist the state, one of many tools, not a silver bullet, but not accumulate it (thinking it's going to become money), because that will lead you straight to poverty like every other shitcoiner is going to experience. You will just use it like any other tool, say VPN (No need to save in VPN subscriptions!). And don't promote it, because that slows bitcoin adoption, and makes you a ßhitcoin scammer.

May you all reach your stacking goals 🧡

The Bitcoin price is gay

What Bitcoin needs is... Nothing. STFU, it's winning and can't be stopped. Fuck Bitcoin Core Fuck Vegas Fuck Strategic Reserve Fuck the masses becoming their own banks Fuck CTV Fuck Drivetrains Fuck Op_return Fuck Ordinals

So I like databases now

Remember to run Knots to, at the very least, assist poor people like this from dislodging their heads from deep within their own aresholes.

Hi. I just wanted to say, "Get fucked".

It's done. This is Virtual Network Computing on Parmanode. Here is my Mac Browser looking at the ParmanodL laptop's desktop environment. Isn't she gorgeous?

At the risk of pissing people off, I'm gonna say it... Generational Bitcoin wealth is overrated. Do it for humanity instead: Your great grandchildren will be diluted with the genes of 6 other strangers (your, your wife's, and 6 other great grandparents). Their kids, your great great grandkids, will have the genes of a mixture of 16 people alive today, most of them normies. It gets much worse with more generations obviously. It's similarly important to be good to random people you share reality with today, compared to overthinking the welfare of some kids 100 years from now who are mostly made up of the genes of other people, who have the same toenail shape as yours. Stack for all humanity, not for generational wealth. I mean, imagine how little you know or care about the life of your 16 great great grandparents.

Have you ever heard the piano play Bach's Cello suite in G?

If you enjoy geeking out on privacy, Parmanode has got your back, now with I2P, and these possible Bitcoin settings; easily switch at you pleasure from menu choices... 1) Clearnet & Tor 2) Tor only 3) Tor only out (no inbound connections) 4) clearnet only 5) I2P and Tor 6) I2P only 7) I2P only out (max stealth) Purchased ParmanodLs also have .. 1) ParmaScale (Tailscale private VPN network for anywhere SSH connections and wallet to node connections) 2) Nym VPN - decentralised open source VPN 3) Parminer 4) Datum And Knots is the default because fuck spam. ParmaDrive is way better, as it's ALSO a personal data server/cloud to help deGoogle and deApple yourself. ParmaTwin is best, a second ParmaDrive which you or a friend can keep geographically separated, but on the same ParmaScale network, reciprocally banking up data for geographical redundancy. You get to have an encrypted offsite backup of all your data, in sync daily. parmanode.com

Who do you think would be the best person to give a lecture(s) to an interested teenager on the climate hoax?
