What does AIPAC have to do with sentiments of people in the United States? And how is any American considered complicit when there’s nothing they can do?
I personally don’t like AIPAC at all, and I’m actually planning on running as a candidate in a third party that doesn’t accept donations like that some time far ahead in the future.
Also, the video you linked relies too heavily on hearsay, lies, and conspiracy theories. Remember, it’s antisemitic to conflate the actions of Israel with Jewish people

Asserting that 95% of American Jews and Israelis support those war crimes is insane. No one I know supports the murdering of innocent Palestinians.
Have you seen the massive protests in Israel? Obviously the issue is more nuanced than you think.

I’ll probably regret saying this considering how many idiots lurk around here, but as a Jew I can’t believe people believe this. It’s just an ethnic group. That’s it. Go home. There’s no secret cult, cabal, whatever the sheep with no critical thinking skills believe these days.
My family was dirt poor for centuries until they came to America during pogroms in Russia. All we ever wanted was to live in peace and preserve our culture.
The only “elite” is the people with the money and the power and that’s who should care about. They’ll do whatever it takes the keep the status quo, which is why we have them trying to put the blame on someone else.

See GIMP vs Krita for example. GIMP’s (image editor) UI has one word to describe it. Awful. It doesn’t look like it was designed for humans.
Krita, while being designed as drawing program is still more usable than GIMP despite having slightly less features with image editing. It’s easier to learn and easy to figure out quite a bit on your own.
I don’t think you should have to read a manual to preform basic tasks in a GUI program like you do with gimp.

I 100% agree with the sentiment of funding FOSS designers and developers, but the culture also needs to change a bit.
I’m under the belief that if a piece of software is hard to use than it needs to be, it just sucks.
I’ll be blunt, from what I’ve seen as a dev, many FOSS devs are too focused on writing code in their own little world than evaluating how useful their software actually is. This is fine, but they shouldn’t expect people to be able to use it or become surprised when people suggest UI changes.

Nah. JavaScript is literally a crime against programming. It was hastily designed and has horrible choices everywhere. There are countless security vulnerabilities in JavaScript/NodeJS modules due to the inconsistent and unpredictable nature of the language.
Imagine the NodeJS devs: “Oh, look at this awful web scripting language! Let’s make it run on desktop!”

#monero spend keys can also be derived from a nostr private key. I found that Garnet does it in the source code. God bless elliptic curve cryptography

Yeah cryptocurrencies are some of the most complicated pieces of software in existence. Not only do they rely on large amounts of cryptography, they heavily rely on concepts such as economics and distributed computing. As a result many people don’t take the time to comprehend it. If they did they would realize that #bitcoin is just the first stepping stone in a long journey.
While the first step was important, we need to move on instead of trying to stay here and build L2 networks instead of fixing the actual platform

2024-08-05 21:44:06

Can we send the insane crypto bro investors back to Twitter please? If all these people care about is money and not the freedom and privacy, maybe they should use a centralized platform that doesn’t follow those ideals

Yeah the toxicity here probably drives people away from cryptocurrency as a whole by the millions. We need to separate the people here who want to exclusively make money and those who care about the principles

The video you linked actually inadvertently explains why Monero is untraceable. I made a YouTube comment explaining why

Congratulations! You just discovered block explorers!
Remember when I challenged you to trace the #monero in my donation address? Why don't you use this block explorer you just wrote to trace it.
You will need:
A quantum computer with at least 3000 usable qbits
Good luck!
Maybe you can use the 600k IRS bounty to pay off the billions you must've expended in quantum computer R&D

Kind of crazy anyone calls it a shit coin considering how well it recovers from price dips. Also this image speaks for itself https://image.nostr.build/5c19702fd1d499c4ea15c85c7194e9c9bda3f25d01198d1e75c8199d66f87e8c.jpg

Yeah Bitcoin core is absolutely cutthroat. They ran a mass disinformation campaign when people proposed a hard fork despite community consensus including by Satoshi himself to bump the block size. It even had 90% miner consensus. Real coincidence when most Bitcoin core and affiliates worked for one company

Yeah payouts have been absolutely awful recently, no idea why. I didn’t get a payout for 4 days but was getting a ton of shares.

Question for #bitcoin, what will happen when ASIC mining becomes unprofitable?
Due to the SHA256 PoW of Bitcoin, ASICs were designed to mine Bitcoin more efficiently and now control basically 100% of the hashrate. I’ve calculated that due to recent halvings ASICs will soon no longer be able to break even and stay profitable.
What will happen to Bitcoin’s value after all the miners bail? Am I missing something?

If you’d like to avoid the disaster of a website that is Twitter, you can replace the “twitter.com” or “x.com” with “xcancel.com”. yt-dlp can also download Twitter videos

Does anyone know how to add a #monero address to the nostr profile so it can be detected by amethyst?
I also remember there was another nostr monero client that would detect the address in the bio, but i forgot the name. Does anyone actually use that?

2024-07-28 22:31:56

- reply

And by "fix", I mean it just holds the transactions privately until the channel is closed (so the funds are actually moved). Before that you are just moving a bunch of IOUs around

2024-07-28 22:30:29

The reason lightning fixes it is because it bypasses the blockchain, defating the purpose of a cryptocurrency's security in the first place. Also, this video doesn't even seem to mention Monero (checking the transcript) and this video is 6 years old. Monero has changed a huge amount in 6 years

2024-07-28 21:03:25

Alright, since you don’t seem to be learning by people telling you the same fact and correcting you over and over, how about you learn by doing.
I challenge you to trace the transactions associated with the #monero donation address in my bio. Good luck, you are going to need it. You’ll also need a quantum computer that doesn’t exist yet.

Every blockchain based cryptocurrency has a block explorer my guy. It’s just that with Monero you can’t see who’s sending money to who and how much

2024-07-28 06:47:26

Have you taken anything from this entire argument? Please just read the Monero docs or look at a block explorer if you’re still confused

2024-07-28 06:25:58

I don't know how many times this has to be said, but Monero's privacy is better than Bitcoin. With Bitcoin silent payments, you are just obscuring a single step in a chain of transactions. Unless everybody uses silent payments, everyone can see where the money came from and where it went. Monero makes it impossible to see who received the currency and it's futile to try to determine who sent it based on the amount of possibilities. Unless privacy is on by default it's not going to work. See: Zcash

2024-07-27 22:31:16

It is disingenuous to call stealth addresses the recipients address. They are addresses that are derived from the recipients address but can’t be tied back to the receiver except by the receiver themselves, so point 2 is basically a lie the way most people would interpret it.
Payment channels are not even a contender for privacy in comparison. Unless this new channel uses some technology im unaware of, it’s using Lightning’s centralized, easily monitored tunnels. No reason to put a bandaid on top of a already flawed system

1st point: true, 2nd point: completely false, 3rd point: true, every transaction has 16 possible senders. With the upcoming FCMP upgrade every transaction will appear as if anyone in the entire network could have sent it

That is the total supply in existence. It isn't really possible to know the total circulating amount of any given currency, as some gets lost over time

You cannot validate the total supply of #bitcoin in circulation either

Forgive the pedantry, but wouldn’t it not be fully self-custodial if you are giving or storing your keys with another party? If they can sign transactions for you they can also sign transactions to steal from you

Can someone explain to me why this is good? Sounds like another custodial wallet.

I wouldn’t trust either. Lightning is built on top of a flawed system, adding faster transactions but reducing security. Bitcoin itself is too centralized due to high fees and ASIC mining.
Monero is the only currency that comes close to Satoshi’s original vision of a currency that is truly distributed and not controlled by any one group or entity.

Censoring sensitive content (such as private keys) by blurring might not be enough to prevent the original content from being recovered, so you should use a black box instead

2024-06-13 19:06:57

Pro tip: under certain circumstances, censorship methods such as Gaussian blur can be reversed. If you want to prevent this, use a black box instead
