that would be flat bread tho. pancakes are puffed up with sodium bicarbonate.

it would probably be an acceptable cost if you anticipate a soon 20% price jump and are gonna exit at that point.

i was wondering what the high fee rate blocks were coming through. someone wants their consolidation yesterday. lol.

uh, really, it's criminal to make money out of thin air anyway, why let physical banknote counterfeiters have all the fun. but here we are, seeing the end stage of legalising this kind of counterfeiting. the future will record the history that for a time, counterfeiting was legal with a licence and the people who did it were the richest people in the world. every crime that is enabled by this will be seen as downstream from the first, worst crime.

ie, lending a criminal money that you know is a criminal should add a risk factor of being entangled in the prosecution should they prove to be criminal and get prosecuted.

vim was invented before keyboards commonly had arrow keys. i don't get the obsession with it at all. it used to be called "vi" - i first used it in like 1988. i have some gripes with micro but it's my daily driver. mainly just its X integration with the middle click. i mean, vi was made before GUIs became common as well. these days terminals even have interfaces to mice.

#mochi the #catstr is once again at the vet, and since the first time, when he was very sick and easy to handle, second time and now this third time he is a fluffy ball of lightning fast, strong claws and belly growls. First time they fixed his gingevitis, eye mites and earache, but the ear mites still plague him. I don't remember what the treatment was for the ear mites, but it didn't work. So he is at the vet again, and again needed sedating to examine him, and hopefully they pull out the nasty Bayer i and obliterate these tiny pests. Mochi's not an easy cat to do medicine on. He fights back against everything, and it's almost like he is catching up on most of his first year in constant pain and struggle with other cats dominating him. Hopefully this is the last visit to the vet for some time. If the i is a bit brutal and knocks him around a little but obliterates the parasite it will be so nice to not hear him scratching anymore, and maybe he will become a little less irritable. Parasites always impair the hosts, altering behavior to protect the parasite. I hate parasites, in all forms. I want them all dead.

it's almost impossible but bunch up a shirt and push it into the wound tightly and hold it, place the victim on the ground horizontally with the wound facing upwards. it has to be done within about 10 seconds or they go into shock. i cut a minor vein last year and was bleeding quite badly enough to start feeling dizzy; first thing is stop the bleeding. with time the wound can get blocked up by clotting but in this sort of case likely would need immediate surgery to rejoin the main blood vessel. has to be under ten seconds. you see blood, you look for the hole and you close it up. it's not rocket science. the maniac who did it slowed them all down, i mean who would be next sorta thing. someone needed to put that bitch on his face. honestly would anyone blame you for wanting to slit his throat after that?

I think swift, visa/mc/amex/discover and then Bitcoin. And it will be impossible to really know because Bitcoin lightning is surveillance resistant by design. Best they can do is ask custodial wallets for their volumes. Noderunners are close enough to anonymous except their IP addresses, and the general rule is they don't keep records or archive the tx logs. Even if they did, AMP complicates it even more and no other clearinghouse can do this - route payments across multiple paths, that nobody in there knows more than amounts and directions. Both halves of the route are private to each end...

EU will be a turd world federation soon enough I'm sure. If your plan was to destrythe market and society you couldn't pick a better crowd of socialists to demolish the place and bring on breadlines and death panels. Soon even Canada will be jealous.

palantir is who is behind it btw. i'm sure they have jpm and consensys in the operation too.

also, knots is simply not relaying transactions the filter settings say are spam. once they get into blocks they accept them, and i think it can also be set to not relay those blocks for a while, like first or second block have to go on top before it will start relaying the block. it happens fairly often, like every few months that there is two blocks competing to be at the top and settings like this would favor the block that didn't have as much spam in it. it won't cause a fork but it may reduce spam, slow it down, and favor legitimate use.

most of the code is the same, core just made changes that stopped users setting some configurations, changed defaults in ways that potentially could increase spam.

this is the main reason behind the attack on core and bitcoin:

The single point of failure of centralised software registries hs been exploited and failed by accident multiple times before. This is why #golang uses DNS and git commits and locks the whole history of versions in the go.sum file. There could be malicious versions of some dependencies but go modules don't constantly push you to upgrade. Version tags are an exact commit and vulnerabilities are only exposed if you unwittingly upgrade to them. Most of the time this kind of issue can be worked around by patching or downgrading. But you can't control when users do this. Not so with NPM, who is constantly nagging you to upgrade yet again, and packages are not locked to git commits.

pretty much the paragon of software core is falling from that pinnacle tho

i started out with troubleshooting which gave me a pretty good grounding in what an app should not do, and i learned about how these things happened. a lot of devs are very tunnel vision, they barely know anything outside of their field. being a polymath is quite important to being a good programmer, i think - since the job is about creating models that process information. without any practical experience at real world stuff you are not gonna be so great at modeling real world stuff.

#jumble does this #hashtag view only you have to click on the inlined hashtags. would be cool to enable listing hashtags at the bottom of posts so you can browse them in the right hand side panel

it's not terrible but the configuration system is buggy it's hard to figure out where stuff is and its IBD is slow, or at least it used to be. and the signature verification code in it is 1/4 the speed of the one in bitcoin core (i use the bitcoin core signature algorithm in my relay).

yeah, the normalisation of money as a declaration is the problem. obviously everyone can't do it but those who do have outsized influence on the economy, and really, if it could be avoided, it should be avoided. power is a magnet for unscrupulous people

btw i found your post because i'm building a simple nostr client component for my job and i wanted to elaborate the explanation for why the #coretard crowd are wrong. i've been thinking a lot about it and i really don't see how corporations engaged in bitcoin mining would want to get tangled up in arbitrary CP jpegs being uploaded and minting blocks with this trash in it. this dramatically reduces the incentive of the majority of large miners to support the core position, and it hints at the idea that the backers of the Core Corruption is ethereum types who want to harm the reputation of bitcoin, and/or turn bitcoin into ethereum. neither thing are going to happen, because anyone who wants to participate in the on-chain shitcoin casino can just use ethereum. maliciously manipulating bitcoin to be degraded in reputation is a weak way to promote a shit product, by trying to basically defraud users.

ecdsa and schnorr signatures are both vulnerable. there are no signature algorithms with as small data size as these algorithms, smallest post-quantum signature algorithm has 96 bytes, most others are upwards of 600 bytes long. every transaction has one so a quantum upgrade would probably not even use any of the ones that are known currently, but something in the future when someone figures out a compact signature for post quantum algos. lattices are too big, multivariates are better, and there is also the possibility of short coding algorithm signatures, as well as hash based signature schemes that use similar techniques as merkle trees. taproot addresses don't expose the public key until spent same as other transactions. the address is the hash of the public key, which is verified when signed by revealing the public key. this is why you should not reuse bitcoin addresses.

wouldn't happen if imports were just DNS names and references to git commits. like #golang uses.

also, it's not that i "want it to fail" i'm of the opinion it just is doomed from its inception. why would you want to live an a completely artificial environment when there is perfectly good, natural environments out there. it's just dependent on us mastering traveling to them. holography hints at the idea that there can be an instantaneous transit of a waveform from one location to another, and that the configuration of the whole system can be discovered by being able to actually measure the waveforms in a tiny part of space. stuck down here, without that knowledge, all we get is progressively delayed beams of light emanating from far distant space. most of the light is from so far away, that nothing beyond a few light years is anywhere near where we see it, at this exact moment in time. i think that without the retarding influence of the ruling class demanding virgin sacrifice and rape and human flesh for the last 6000 years we might have already got there, but all these stupid people believe the official narrative and don't even investigate it, people with the capacity to, but whose minds have been stunted by brainwashing. the orthodox models are wrong, and every step towards uncovering the correct model tends to be impeded deliberately. they want limited energy. they want limited transport. they can't suck the life out of us if we are infinity distance from them, which would be what anyone would prefer if they believed it were possible. it is possible. and i don't care about their stupid mars homo fantasy. stupid does stupid shit, that won't work, based on flawed models that are a mismatch with reality. it's not wanting them to fail, it's KNOWING they will fail, and this is all just theatre about them telling us this story that they are superior and we are just fodder for their grandiose fantasies.

the saddest thing is knowing that malicious shadowy hands are behind the whole thing and they have been building up towards turning bitcoin into ethereum 3.0 for some time, once someone figured out how to stuff junk into segwit witness data.

they are fun to have around too, totally comical especially leghorns running to eat the kibble

the chicken was asking for it by being a chicken, let's be honest. what other purpose has a chicken except ripping up the garden and being tasty bbq?
