Been running Umbrel and MyNode for years but seeing many people I respect migrating to Start9 I am starting to consider it seriously.
The only thing I don’t like on Start9 is pretty poor marketplace although the only thing that I actually need that is not there is PublicPool for solo mining which Umbrel does have.
I know there was discussion before that Umbrel is not really privacy focused and they’ve put many apps on it which are I don’t really need but I don’t know where they stand now since they have upgraded a lot in past year

I might disagree with you but I’m willing to defend your right to speak whatever you might find peace with because I value freedom of speech. So, don’t shut up but feel free to show your ignorance as much as you like

2024-08-30 18:44:31

While you enjoy your freedom there are people busy taking your rights and figuring out what is it that you speak that they don’t like so they can balance you

Game theory:
If the governments continue their irresponsible fiscal and monetary policies all assets will continue to surge in perpetuity. Hard assets will moon and the hardest of them all will gain velocity to go beyond solar system
On the other hand if they decide to adopt financial responsibility the only way is to anchor the value of money through hard assets and they will have to reprice all hard assets in fiat terms ridiculously which will make all hard assets go to moon in fiat terms and the hardest of them all will again gain highest velocity

Lately I’ve been puzzled with one great dilemma since I have two residencies.
I live in a country where the quality of life is really great. Health system, education, public services are all one of the best in Europe but taxes are one of the highest in Europe.
On the other hand I was born in a country where the system is completely fucked. The health system, education and public services are as bad as they can be but, the taxes are very small and since the system is so lousy you can get away without paying taxes at all.

Federated eCash mints are meant to be established within the communities where people have established trust based on internal social dynamics.
In other words you join federation of people you really know and trust; your family and your local community and not some random mint you saw being shilled on social media run by people you don’t know and can’t possibly trust.
Trusting random mints will make eCash be just ICO shitcoin trend of this cycle and will rug a lot of people.

You need to understand the incentives better. No one ever promised 1 sat/vB fees and your equation does not take into account miners incentives. On the other hand 90% of the world can not afford couple hundred dollar equipment for a node.
But the most important thing to understand is that for blockchain to compete with traditional rails we need blocks to be larger than 1Gb and that is by current metric where half of the world is not banked so if you wanna bank everyone you need huge blocks and that fucks up everything. So back to my initial point - no blocksize can put everyone on the blockchain

2024-06-22 22:27:40

We’ve been there already and no that is not the solution. No blocksize can put everybody on blockchain nor it should. It would only centralize everything and we’ll be at the same place rethinking scaling with just enormous remorse.

Bitcoin rabbit hole is deep and technical aspects are even deeper. Understanding different levels of cryptography and technical solutions require many many hours of painful research so it is kinda normal for people that do not understand tech to rely on people whose opinion they respect.
Not even Bitcoin devs have full picture of it. Many devs that work on wallets have no freaking idea how other wallets or side chains like Liquid work or what different covenants bring and risks involved.
One can either go wide and shallow or deep but narrow in understanding different technical aspects.

Recently, when I am at the playground with my daughter I hear many parents complain about how everything is so expensive and they can hardly afford basic necessities.
Inflation is affecting everybody and I’ve been wondering how all this mess might play out?
I don’t believe people will rebel because they are too lazy and brainwashed, but I am afraid that the governments will create another crisis as a distraction and a way to unite people in a “greater fight” for the “greater cause”. Whatever they decide to do, they will do it by printing money, as that’s the only way they can afford any measures they decide to take.
But if the governments decide to do nothing, with everybody cutting spending, the economy is going to tank, which is going to bring down many banks and companies which will create even more suffering. To bail out any banks and companies that might go down, they will print money.
In the end whichever path they decide to go, they will print money. It is inevitable.
And we all know what they can’t print.

Log in to Laravel application using Nostr browser key management extensions like Alby.
It enables users to authenticate by signing a message with their private key and sending the signature and public key for verification. If the verification is successful and the user is not registered in the Laravel application, the package will register the user, adding them to the users table with the corresponding public key. If the user with given public key is already registered in will be logged in.

For those not familiar with BOLT 12...
What is BOLT 12?
BOLT 12 is a proposed upgrade to the Lightning network. For users, it can enable things like reusable payment requests, increased receiver privacy, and increased censorship resistance.
Reusable Payment Requests
Now that I can slap a QR code on our tip jar, my band can seamlessly receive tips in bitcoin! No more creating a new QR code for every virtual fan who wants to tip us after a moon colony gig, and no more losing 75% of potential tippers due to the long wait for BOLT 11 invoices.
Receiver Privacy
As a shadowy super coder contributing to Bitcoin Core, I needed a way to accept donations that preserves anonymity while compartmentalizing my 784 digital identities. With BOLT 12’s route blinding, I can now accept payments discreetly and securely!
Social Integration
I’m a content creator on Nostr who has always wanted a self-custodial way to accept zaps for my VR artwork. By publishing my bitcoin wallet’s payment code to my Nostr profile, I can receive zaps directly, without custodians or middlemen. Viva la BOLT 12!
Auto-withdrawals
After hearing some cyborgs talk about bitcoin on XNBC Squawk Cube, I decided to buy in. Later, I learned that it's better to self-custody bitcoin rather than trust exchanges. So, I set my exchange account to automatically deposit bitcoin into a self-custodial wallet using BOLT 12 offers.
Censorship Resistance
As an activist living under an authoritarian robot regime, I needed a way to accept donations without payment services blocking my IP address. With onion messaging, my IP address remains hidden, ensuring I can receive support securely. Smash the autonomous patriarchy!

2024-06-16 19:22:58

2024-06-16 19:14:58

With Bolt12 Offers we can have static QR codes or strings that can be utilized by users to fetch new invoices from each other.
This means we could create a Bolt12 code that relates to our wallet and post this up to receive donations or to receive regular ongoing payments. It also means streamers, content creators, or fund-raisers could use a single QR code to take donations cheaply and quickly.
Lets bring new experience to Lightning!
