I don’t personally know the current crew of that specific vessel. So maybe I’m wrong. Maybe that boat is full of Russian spies and international contractors who are paid ‘extremely well’ just like in the hollywood movies.…<br/><br/>Or maybe instead of wasting Russian resources, it’s like most other commercial vessels that work in dicey waters of war zones and piracy. Where companies and governments save their money by using cheap foreign labour for much of the crew. You don’t tell them their true or full job scope until they’re onboard, or ever. You take their documents once they’re onboard. You don’t let them off. And payment? Maybe you’ll pay them something at the end just to shut them up, but it doesn’t have to be what was agreed.. it’s entrapment, not volunteering. And it’s very very common practice in the shipping industry, especially through dangerous waters. I wouldn’t wish death upon them, just like I wouldn’t wish death upon the hostages who were forced to work the farms and construction during WW2.<br/><br/>Sorry if you’re feeling triggered because it offends your favourite team. But if you think it’s a hilarious idea, then lucky you - you haven’t been exposed to how the global shipping industry works. 2025-12-14T20:54:03Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs29cjsgvzvat80ekn3uq7tjvmqcfeg4vs3rsq6vdvrsun8ygexhngzyr9wvmglsajkd2rdmh43mlmn76lt8rcversalad5075agmpau5psyuc7fqt In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqp5cgl9e7rp5ac7qlf4j3ucxfppajpyzl0s6ppdxrvqnw8s5vzdspp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqgpzywz'>nevent1q…zywz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>There wouldve probably been Phillipinos and other nationalities onboard who are nothing to do with the war.

Sorry I guess I was focussing more on the mechanics of the underlying layer. As in, the validity of the blockchain isn’t compromised.<br/><br/>I hope I’m no misunderstood here, I think people should be angry as hell that their wealth and their life raft is being undermined by a select few. It’s a fiat manoeuvre, and I hope more people do something about it. These changes clearly go against the whitepaper, go against the intended design, and go against the entire valuation model of btc history and its present use case.<br/><br/>I do want to push back on something though - It’s a default v30 setting, not a necessary one. So from that 12% you mentioned - because propagation relies on paths, how many of those v30 users run disabled defaults, or filtered inscriptions, or use custom configurations. The software version number doesn’t generate the spam, the mempool policy does. I think most people will be aware of the policy (except newbies who following instructions on a site). And I don’t see the incentive for most nodes to run v30 on its default settings, so why would they?<br/><br/>Plus miners also have to choose to include the junk once they’ve received it. My understanding is that miners will ignore any junk that doesn’t at least pay more than the real transactions. So any spam has to outbid the market, which also reduces the chances of it being included in the block. This is what happened in different hype periods with the satoshi dice spam in 2013/14, opreturn graffiti spam in 2015/16, block size war spam waves, 2020/21 consolidation spam, and the 2023/24 Ordinals + BRC20 inscription mania (which I imagine is actually worse than v30 will be?). And bitcoin recovered every time, institutional adoption grew, and real payments reclaimed blockspace.<br/><br/>Spam is expensive to sustain, hype burns out, junk creators run out of money, normal transactions set the long term fee floor, the block size cap prevents unlimited bloat. So the junk always collapses under its own cost. I guess my point is that I don’t think (and am hopeful) that nowhere near that 12% is actually participating in spam. And that there are a number of hurdles to pass to get there.<br/><br/>I imagine you know all of this sorry, I’m more saying this so if anyone else reads the thread, they don’t just panic into doing nothing or bailing out of btc.<br/><br/>Everyone should run a node and ensure it’s not v30 on default settings. Because it doesn’t just mean you refuse to participate in undermining the btc network - it means you actively fight those that do, because you break the propagation paths. The more path breaks there are, the less spam there is. Plus you gain the other benefits of running a node.<br/><br/>Right now I prefer Knots, because the more traction that clear alternatives to Core get, the easier it becomes for newcomers to see that they do have options. Choice strengthens decentralisation.

Abrahamic principles v Abrahamic Institutions.<br/><br/>Abrahamic institutions are amongst the biggest beneficiaries of the fiat system, because they take advantages to levels that no other organisation gets. It’s not even a hidden or controversial thing that Abrahamic institutions<br/>- rely on tax breaks and exemptions<br/>- rely on taxpayer funding via the state<br/>- rely on inflation<br/>- very strong political alliances<br/>- very strong hierarchy and emphasis on obedience to authority<br/>- highly centralised leadership<br/>- partner with banks on fractional reserve principles<br/>- rely and benefit on systems of debt creation<br/>- amongst the largest asset holders on the planet because they seek to benefit from inflation<br/>- prioritise institutional growth over economic reform<br/>- maintain strict control of their financial opacity <br/><br/>BUT the religious texts themselves encourage some very btc aligned values<br/><br/>- truth<br/>- integrity<br/>- accountability<br/>- confronting injustice<br/>- distributed community responsibility<br/>- critiques of hoarding and exploitation of the vulnerable<br/>- transparency<br/>- warnings against concentration of power<br/>- condemnation of exploitative lending or prohibition of interest based systems<br/>- emphasis on fairness and condemnation of debasement<br/><br/>So I think maybe you’re both right. And I’d add that hopefully, something like btc can make an institution actually start employing the values that it teaches. 2025-11-19T18:26:00Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqst8vv3suggfd6sswkpsp2vwcwwgpygzrwkkfkfug0pa80gtqr3t3qzyr9wvmglsajkd2rdmh43mlmn76lt8rcversalad5075agmpau5psy9jxclg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswj2krr776z3y68uzqaeumwhep7f77v6p7skuu94n9accdnqwx5aqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgv73vxy'>nevent1q…3vxy</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Nothing I said addresses the ‘truth’ of his claims based on who he is 😅 I was explaining why his presentation as an authority on the topic is very purposefully misleading.<br/>That’s not an ad hominem fallacy; it’s assessing his credibility.<br/><br/>I can discuss the actual scientific points from the video too. But I haven’t because that would take even longer to tap out. And really, if you like rabbit holes, then hearing of controversial context should be enough to make you fact check it yourself. Which is why I pointed out his lack of credibility. I thought someone who questions things would like a bit more juice on the topic.<br/><br/>Also, if someone is actually into questioning very robust theories that have withstood countless scientific challenges for generations (like evolution or relativity). I kind of assumed they’d be very keen to know about the first person to ever prove the theory wrong. You know, who they get their info from. Because that would make them the most profound scientific figure of this century! 🤩🥳<br/><br/>I dont think you should take my word for it. Look him up. Read his stuff or watch his lectures. Whenever he makes a point, go and read what the actual scientific consensus is and what the literature says. You’ll find his big gaps that he very conveniently never mentions, and most of his points that he misrepresents, or possibly hasn’t even bothered to read. His own CV shows he’s not even remotely qualified, trained, or experienced on the topic (though he sure enjoys giving humanities work science-sounding names 😂). You can find for yourself that he led an organisation with the goal of making the American culture more theistic in its values by driving a wedge between empirical scientific research and the American education &amp; politics 😅 the dude openly tries to manipulate the masses.. and makes a living from it.<br/><br/>Or, just focus on the fact that I don’t recommend trusting the guy 😂 2025-11-19T07:28:09Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqst7qvl4fpewkkcru7w5k9jk4sxysus8gzy2dach7j57d6vqqv3n2szyr9wvmglsajkd2rdmh43mlmn76lt8rcversalad5075agmpau5psytcp2e3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9cdpexzlzdrvjas8uhrzrqtnkvsj5m5ww4rsfuadf3w94chyzzzqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgdzdmnz'>nevent1q…dmnz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Nope 😅 I’ve literally watched him lecture with an open mind where he summarises his book. And watched more of his content to make sure I understood his reasoning! Then I felt like I needed to learn more about him because he didn’t seem to speak truly about the subjects he critiqued. <br/>So no, I’m definitely not afraid to read his books.. But if his goal clearly wasn’t education, his goal is to trick people - why would I pay him for a book? That would be like paying for a flat earth book.. a book isn’t a force field. If an argument collapses in a lecture and under experimentation, it doesn’t magically become true once it’s written in a chapter.<br/><br/>Also, did I tell you not to read the book? In fact if it raises questions for you then I’d encourage it! <br/>I think if you have time, then it would be a great idea to read his books along with the actual theories he disputes (explosive evolutionary events, modern theory of evolution, fossil preservation conditions and regions).<br/><br/>But if you follow his messaging alone, then you’ll never be exposed to the actual theories that he pretends to ‘disprove’. So you’ll have no way of verifying for yourself. You’ll be trusting just him with your world view - which is what all conmen want.<br/><br/>Anyway, it seems I annoyed you.

Which is enough to assure me that I should not waste time or money on his content. Because if you’re familiar with palaeontology and evolution, then you clearly see him purposefully misleading his audience. Kinda like listening to Peter Schiff for bitcoin advice.<br/><br/>Just to be clear. I have no problem with his or anyone’s religion. Religion can obviously support people doing great things! But I take issue with anyone trying to trick others into aligning with their world view. Especially when they do it at scale by targeting education and politics. 2025-11-19T02:54:32Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0f4f2qj7207zqaljtvy9fj25rm4dwvcfmeugdy3tdjttf53f24dgzyr9wvmglsajkd2rdmh43mlmn76lt8rcversalad5075agmpau5psyy0x8lj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswrcrmg3ea8ja7mguxqtdx9kuljf6rvlja62xlfwp2q86f36htlhqprdmhxue69uhk7unv0ykhyetvv9uju6tdwaskcepwv46j7r9hlyg'>nevent1q…hlyg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>This guy is the ultimate FUDster.. spent his career arguing against decentralisation in nature 😅 2025-11-19T02:43:23Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsfatn6dn54vw5swaf2g5wxtway8js3dx00e9l0ludrjpgd9q39dwczyr9wvmglsajkd2rdmh43mlmn76lt8rcversalad5075agmpau5psyvczrsy In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswrcrmg3ea8ja7mguxqtdx9kuljf6rvlja62xlfwp2q86f36htlhqprdmhxue69uhk7unv0ykhyetvv9uju6tdwaskcepwv46j7r9hlyg'>nevent1q…hlyg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Can I offer a rabbit hole too? 🤣 <br/><br/>that title makes it sound like he’s got a PhD in science… He’s an evangelical Christian who did his PhD in philosophy. Where he philosophised about what science is in a societal context. His undergrad was focussed on oil exploration.<br/>Other than a brief stint in oil exploration, the dude has made his entire career out of selling books to evangelicals, and giving talks to evangelicals.<br/>He even started the ‘Centre for Science and Culture’. Which has never done anything scientific - its core agenda is to manipulate American education and culture into being more evangelical. They even had a core confidential document leaked years ago that stated their plan to become a wedge between Americans and any science that explains life, the universe, and human beings (without invoking god). You can probably still find the original one that leaked (not the one that was updated for PR reasons 😂)<br/><br/>If you like rabbit holes, looking into this guys history as a conman is a good one 😂<br/><br/>Which is why his points he makes are always flawed.

It’s a big tax too.<br/><br/>Lots of people only know of kyc exchanges or are not confidant or comfortable with their non kyc options.<br/>So how can you transition a general population to btc as monetary exchange, when it’s at such a transactional disadvantage compared to fiat?<br/><br/>Not trying to sound pessimistic.

It means far far far far less margin for error than your mobile phone, who’s signal can bounce off objects and particles (hence you don’t always need to have direct line of sight with the cell tower).

But it’s also some very strong spin on those events that’s being presented (to at least a partly Phillipine audience by the looks of it). <br/>Phillipines ties to US were really cemented in WW2, long before China was considered a major threat - when China and the US shared the same enemy in Japan. After Pearl Harbour, the US would not risk war unannounced on its doorstep again, hence it further developed those bases in the Philippines.<br/>Taiwan is not a US proxy for war. Similar to the Philippines, it’s US interest is to retain an element of control or at least supervision of what is going on in the other side of the Pacific. But that means China feels exposed like the US did with Cuba, and like Russia did with NATO expansion. <br/>It’s also now something that the US cannot afford to leave because of the chip manufacturer TSMC. If the US loses that chip manufacturing, their economy absolutely dives. Apple, Intel, Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, OpenAI, and many others cannot produce their products without those chips, and the only manufacturer with that capability and capacity of production is in Taiwan.. so they’re US current greatest weakness, is sitting just offshore China.<br/>Neither one wants casualties, but both find the current situation unacceptable. So they’re out there wheeling and dealing, puffing their chests out, trying to influence or manipulate other countries wherever they can. 2025-11-08T01:41:27Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqszv80v8tnavgdvfwaxwfmd2ycvy0sunxr0puxaxgs6nv4cnf4hvwszyr9wvmglsajkd2rdmh43mlmn76lt8rcversalad5075agmpau5psy4tguk0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs09al2stj7w5g4a599mwrq6z7fg842xsug46p0q6v739rall98csqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhg3qcx23'>nevent1q…cx23</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Gday Alex, sorry mate I skim read some of that, so maybe I’m off the mark, but I think I get the gist.<br/><br/>Obviously you’re after technical info for setting up a node and mining. But at the same time, just in case you haven’t yet digested these, here’s some books (all also audiobooks) that can give you a whole lot of context for any tech knowledge to slot into. They’re not all essential, but will help with broader understanding and therefore your ability to make your own decisions around btc. Some authors have more biases than others, so don’t take all these books as gospel.<br/>In no particular order.<br/>The Price of tomorrow <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqsg86qcm7lve6jkkr64z4mt8lfe57jsu8vpty6r2qpk37sgtnxevjcpramhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0v3jhyatwdejhyuewdejhgam0wf4sz8thwden5te0dehhxarj94c82c3wwajkcmr0wfjx2u3wdejhgftrgyv" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Jeff Booth</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…rgyv</span>)</a></span> <br/>The Bitcoin Standard <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqsyx708d0a8d2qt3ku75avjz8vshvlx0v3q97ygpnz0tllzqegxrtgpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduqs7amnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd4hk6gemp4l" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>saifedean</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…mp4l</span>)</a></span> <br/>The Blocksize War by Jonathon Bier<br/>The Book of Satoshi Phil Champagne<br/>Hidden Cost of Money <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqs9a486n5w72dsn72tyentdrj08ppqk2yyq707qdmlm347lkl6jmpgprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctvqyf8wumn8ghj7ur4wfcxcetsv9njuetn8ykt05" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>sebbunney</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…kt05</span>)</a></span> <br/>Broken Money <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qqsw4v882mfjhq9u63j08kzyhqzqxqc8tgf740p4nxnk9jdv02u37ncpz4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezumtpd35kutn0dekqz9thwden5te0wfjkccte9e4kzmts9eekjar9y08qv9" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>LynAlden</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…8qv9</span>)</a></span> <br/>Check Your Financial Privilege by Alex Gladstein<br/><br/>In terms of the tech side. Realistically you solo mining today is a solid up front cost, that won’t decentralise network mining by much, and wont exactly be earning you much. It’s not much bang for your buck so I wouldn’t start there.<br/><br/>I’d start with just running a full node, playing with that. Then mining after if you’re still keen. <br/>In terms of a node, you can kind of set it up how you like, but it’s kinda common for easy nodes to be set up on a raspberry pi and external ssd or an old lappy or desktop with external ssd. External ssd is because the blockchain is large, and growing - so it takes up a bit of space. If you use old equipment, just make sure you’ve wiped it clean before you run a node.<br/><br/>Then you’ve got to decide what to run. If you haven’t heard about the core version 30 v knots debate, then you should look into it - because you running a node will be you casting a vote on the debate. So do yourself a favour and run a version of Core from before Version 30 (the contentious version) until you decide to either update to the latest core, or use knots. Personally, I’d avoid getting the latest of anything until it’s had time to iron out any issues. I’d also argue that core version 30 is not aligned with the original intent or ongoing idea of btc, and actually provides an attack vector on your btc. But that’s up to you.<br/><br/>You can figure out how to run it as a newbie by using some setup platforms like Umbrel, Raspiblitz, MyNode, Start9.. those are the ones I know of.. they are all open source. But they’re not all the same. There’ll be more out there too. Check them out and go from there. They’ll all have instructions and different pros and cons.<br/><br/>Don’t forget the ways of supporting a btc ecosystem goes far beyond running a node or mining. So if you want to be more involved, but mining isn’t your thing, there’s all sorts of other ways to support. Accepting btc payments, avoiding custodial wallets, buying from btc economies, pay in btc, run or use lightning, education or discussions with people not exposed to it (respectfully!), support infrastructure and privacy tools, HODL responsibly, and participate in the culture around it.<br/><br/>Also, good on ya for taking steps to support everyone by running a node 💪🏼 2025-11-07T23:42:19Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsvkq277k3pwpwvzz8u5asp86exhu8ut8w55zx8qsg8cg229gh8u6czyr9wvmglsajkd2rdmh43mlmn76lt8rcversalad5075agmpau5psyq8jrrq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdj7zd9lt69mu763tclplpx2gzlffdw2dr9r9ldt39c4lgnesgcugpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgcz2ylg'>nevent1q…2ylg</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That outro riff is a jam 😎 2025-11-06T19:56:40Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs2fkks858vmrky9pgn7zg2t2pu44gj5hwv4yamsdhkzqqlseckseczyr9wvmglsajkd2rdmh43mlmn76lt8rcversalad5075agmpau5psy876w0c In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqlslvum43rd25fm8symyf742zgs7qdsx4kx5lpc4yt78uufn897qpramhxue69uh5ummnw3ezuetfde6kuer6wasku7nfvuh8xurpvdjs9dcrqq'>nevent1q…crqq</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That’s the bloke who’s been pedalling Sui? 2025-10-11T20:43:21Z
