Until there is public, determined competition between nation states for domination of the mining space its a very real threat.
The US is *quite* adept at leveraging its position in even hostile jurisdictions. There is no place on earth that both 1,takes bitcoin seriously enough and 2,hates the US enough that miners can feel secure enough to bring large hash online there.
And of course, one jurisdiction isn't enough. We need many.
So tbh, it's stupid to dismiss that attack vector.
Sure you'll probably still be able to eventually get your tx mined.
But the network will NOT function as advertised.
you can also make the argument that bitcoin ASIC centralization undermines the purpose of defeating state actors and central banks

it isn't a false equivalence.
It isn't the *same* trust assumption, I didn't say that.
I just pointed out you don't have perfect supply guarantees either.
Which is completely true.
you're posturing like you've audited all the code, wrote your own and sum the utxo set all the time.
which you don't. you're posing like you have good guarantees when yiu actually just TRUST 3rd parties to perform checks for you.
And if you want to trust all the various 3rd parties that guarantee your supply and private key security, fine. I do too.
I'm just pointing out it is NOT a big ask to then *also* trust range proofs.
You are ALREADY making similar trust assertions.
And you TRUST someone elses code to verify your supply for you retard.
despite it being a transparent asset.
you're just too much of an idiot to realize you ALSO don't have 100% guarantee of supply

you'd think, if you were actually interested, that when told "we offload supply soundness guarantees to the correctness of proof and signature constructions"
you would think "Oh, in this case, I should learn about the proofs and decide if I think they are trustworthy."
instead maxis will just be "nah, I'll just spread FUD I heard somewhere and pretend it must be correct."
never mind they're ALREADY trusting *other* proof constructions without understanding them.

The monero community absolutely DOES NOT say that "supply soundness is a necessary tradeoff for CTs."
Because that isn't true.
Whst they say is "we offload supply soundness guarantees to the correctness of proof and signature constructions."
I just spend an hour or two providing you with information about the proofs and why it is *equally reasonable to trust them* as it is to trust the ECDSA proofs YOU ARE ALREADY TRUSTING.
In other words, I made effort to actually provide educational material and critical thinking about the issue.
But your willful ignorance is too much for me and you can have fun waving your maxi flag with a little spittle running down your chin.

You're too much of a moron to understand what either I or Snowden are talking about.
Or how moneros cryptographic security is *at-least* as reliable as cryptographic assumptions you are ALREADY trusting.
have fun staying ignorant.
Its perfectly normal to place trust in 3rd parties. nobody has the time to become an expert in everything and then personally audit all this stuff.
A big part of learning is ADMITTING WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW.
Its fine (ie, reasonable to me) to *trust* the ECDSA implementation in bitcoin. Obviously I do it too.
But it's retarted to trust ECDSA (without reflection or understanding) but then refuse to examine *other* well-established cryptographic primitives.
because reasons.
usually those reasons are "Team Bitcoin doesn't approve of those specific cryptographic primitives and Im a good team player. Look at my cool laser eyes."
You don't understand Pedersen commitments or know what zero-knowledge proofs are? You don't trust me when I say their probably *at-least* as reliable as the ECDSA sceme you're ALREADY trusting?
Fine, just say "i don't know or care and Im not going to look into it." At least that's intellectually honest.
Or just "I'm a moron and I trust what a block explorer tells me."
Everybody has to eventually place trust somewhere. But that doesn't mean you should shave your head and join the cult.

I have not moved any goalposts.
Just continued to call out your obvious inconsistencies.
You are the one changing the subject, not I.
if you dont have the ability to actually reflect on your fundamental assumptions you are a waste of time.
point is
you demand proof from me,
but trust other "maxis."
WITHOUT understanding or DYOR on *either* of the cryptographic primitives involved.
it is intellectually inconsistent and you arent a cypherpunk or a true bitcoiner.
just a team player unwilling to make the effort of critical thinking.
have a nice day.
You can always tell when a maxi has lost all actual fact-based argument.
Because they pull out a fiat chart of relative speculative value as if it was meaningful.
<sigh>
lol ok
You have no evidence your private key is the only key that can spend a utxo.
This property of bitcoin depends on the ECDSA encryption it uses being mathematically sound and the implementation being correctly coded
YOU *TRUST* THE BITCOIN COMMUNITY WHEN THEY TELL YOU THIS IS SO.
YOU ARE ALREADY RELYING ON CRYPTOGRAPHIC PRIMITIVES YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
YOU JUST REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT.
lol no, not all of them.
half of them want to add ZK proofs to Bitcoin.
But still fud monero because "muh supply auditability"
at least the OP is racist becasue theyre just ignorant and suspicious of what they don't understand.
"I trust bitcoin because it's transparent and don't understand math"
i think we can safely disregard your opinion.
By the EXACT same logic
you cant trust ECDSA to ensure that only your private keys can spend your utxos.
But you do.
Your whole argument is just
"I trust Team Bitcoin when they say ECDSA is secure.
But I don't trust Team Monero when they say range proofs are secure.
I don't DYOR.
I don't verify.
I just follow the prevalent groupthink of the team I like."
Frankly, you're a sorryass Bitcoiner.
Again, that is incorrect.
You trust ECDSA to secure your utxos and ensure only your private key can reassign them.
There is no plausible reason to trust ECDSA but mistrust Pedersen commitments.
Is it bigger than the US beating Pakistan?

As far as I'm concerned, you can hodl mainstream crypto until you get fat. You won't change the world. Monero users, on the other hand, will.
"Also, state-regulated infrastructure has been in a state of decline for far too long" You got a good point there. That's a really valid point. At least in Western countries. They will try anyway. The inflation tax is simply too tempting. Something will come - taxes on fictitious Bitcoin profits or something. Nobody knows for sure. The more data they have, the uglier it will get. Let's hope the institutions are overwhelmed by everything when the time comes. They can't take your Bitcoin without your consent, that's pretty sure. Not like the Dollars they took away from Russia.

#nevent1q…asdm
maxis are racist against zero knowledge proofs
This is just incorrect.
ECDSA was not standardized until 2005.
Relying on ECDSA without question but being suspicious of Pedersen committments is weird and arbitrary.
Nobody is arguing that napkin math isnt a sounder guarantee.
But it is intellectually inconsistent to bitch about ZK proofs when you are ALREADY trusting cryptographic primitives that are more complex.

If only maxis were so demanding when it comes to auditing the gettxsetoutinfo function.... 😥
It is good to be intellectually consistent.
I guess to protect newbies from shitty coins. Monero is pretty much the nerd version of Bitcoin. A lot of OGs from Bitcoin know Monero and see it as a supplement that does not adhere to regulations at all. Regulations are a double-edged sword. Bitcoin is trying to be the Trojan horse. By the time the bureaucrats realize that Bitcoin cannot be manipulated in this way, it will already be too late. However, there are also dangers in dancing with the devil.
It is not plausible to suggest zero knowledge proofs are unreliable because "they are younger"
They've been around since the 80s and are well understood.
People have been talking about adding them to bitcoin since forever. I'm not aware of *anyone* who is opposed because they're skeptical of their mathematical properties.

Ill see if I can find a braindead explanation of rangeproofs or Pedersen commitments.
In the meantime here's the wikipedia on commitment schemes.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commitment_scheme
Its an interesting psychological trait of human that we trust those sources that repeat our established beliefs back to us.
In this case bitcoin maxis trust other maxis simply because theu repeat established doctrine.
it matters not at all that the doctrine has not been investigated and found to be substantiated by evidence.
simply repeating it is enough.
in contrast, *different* views are considered suspicious and must meet some arbitrary evidentiary qualifications. despite the fact the already established ideas never met ANY evidence and were simply deemed to be trustworthy becasue trusted sources repeated them enough.
people are weird.

When money changes hands, it can get “poisoned” and this causes problems for future users. That's why fungibility, like in Monero, is crucial—it keeps all money equal and safe to use.

You don't need Shitcoins, but privacy would be useful from time to time if you want to cheat on your wife. She won't find out, as your wife's lover can confirm - he uses Monero.
If you marry her, hide the Bitcoin address from her so she doesn't know how much money she can take from you in a divorce. It can't hurt to put some of your assets in a Monero wallet.
You have to admit that atomic swaps are pretty cool. It's useful.

He is precisely correct.
A monero transaction must prove no its inputs and output equal zero to meet consensus agreements.
We can prove that without knowing the amounts involved because of zero knowledge proofs.
This isn't rocket science,you are already trusting more complicated maths using bitcoin.
Yall are incorrect that there is significantly more trust than you already put in bitcoin.
Range proofs have been around for a looong time and are well understood.
cryptographic primitives
in this case, range proofs.

For one, Im willing to bet you have NEVER personally verified the BTC supply and just trust someone elses code to do it
And two, it's possible to mathematically prove that something is so, WITHOUT actually revealing what the factors are.
Like we can prove that the sum of the inputs and outputs of a tx are zero. Without showing the amounts.
In other words
yall are morons who don't understand you are ALREADY trusting cryptographic primitives and you dont need to be able to sum the utxo set on a napkin to have supply assurances.

This is true.
Except the part about social shaming.
Shame is good aktcually.
I agree abortion should not be uaed as birth control.
But disagree the state should regulate it.
It should simply be socially unacceptable. This is only possible by encouraging people (men and women both) to take personal responsibility and accept the consequences of their actions.
Isn't ecash the synthetic bitcoin that is used to suppress the price forever?
they just have to spin up the most credible mint and normies will go for it.
particularly since non credible mints will rug people.
because everyone on LN is using their own node "like a real man" lmao
massive anon set
and receiver privacy is "possible and improving"
so impressive.
no doubt monero will go to zero any day now with such awesome privacy guarantees 😂

The best privacy you can give online users: End-to-end encryption.
You're promoting beta software and untried tech as privacy solutions.

There is nothing that comes close to monero privacy guarantees and that's a fact.
furthermore, if you do NOT have protocol level privacy there will ALWAYS be centralization/custodial tradeoffs.

There is no Zerolink CJ operational st the moment.
JM cjs have been unwound and wasabi sucks.
So no, there isnt a good CJ option atm.
Receiver privacy on LN is non existent and even sender privacy is subjective since LN can be highly centrlaized.
"proxy node" isnt a thing.
iow, there arent any tools on bitcoin that obfuscate the sender, receiver and amount.
agree with no-KYC though.
no KYC only 👍
Maxis will straight up accuse you of being in monero for fiat "value"
and at the same time suggest compromising on decentralization and custody are reasonable tradeoffs.
the lack of self-examination is astounding.

I hold at least as much bitcoin as I do monero.
and I'd be very happy to be all bitcoin if it offers the same functionality.
it doesnt. that's a simple fact.
"a little custodial risk is ok" is simple cope and a compromise of 1st principles.
Custodians can be shut down if they dont rug you, etc.
maybe instead of accusing others of being in for the NGU you should take a look in the mirror.

You need to make an coherent argument for a solution.
Are you trying to make a case for Mutiny being private LN payments?
Are you saying enuts is not custodial?
Do you know the point you are trying to make?
Atomic swaps are a thing. So no there is no risk.
And its nice to theorize about how great ecash will be when its not battle-tested.
As it stands, you have to immediately swap out to you own mint or to LN becasue we cant trust the mints.
All of your "solutions" have considerably more friction that just having a stack of monero you use for private payments.
I mean, really???
You're going to point to Liquid as a reasonable privacy tool? For real?
How long has Liquid existed? How long have the blocks been completely empty? It's a fucking ghost town?
Meanwhile Monero does 20-30k tx per day and you're telling me with a straight face that Liquid and custodial ecash are legit alternatives?
Its not the monero stans who refuse to see reality bro
"I like bitcoin, buy my centralized custodial shitcoin"
#nevent1q…smn6
both of those solutions are centralized and custodial. ok well, Liquid isn't custodial, you just need permission to peg out.
bitcoiners don't wabt to acknowledge this becasue their bags depend on compromising 1st principles for the sake of NGU.

"The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and Federal Reserve Board today announced that, following their joint review of the July 2023 resolution plan submissions of the eight largest and most complex banks, they identified a weakness in the plans from Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan Chase. The agencies did not identify any weaknesses in the plans from the other banks."
https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/pressreleases/bcreg20240621a.htm
TL;DR
Think of the resolution plans as a blueprint for a company to follow in case it goes bankrupt or gets into serious financial trouble. It's like a map that helps the company's assets and liabilities be taken care of in an orderly manner, without causing chaos in the financial system.
The FDIC and FRB are like the building inspectors, checking that the blueprint is solid and follows the rules. In this case, they found some flaws in the plans from Bank of America, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan Chase.
Imagine these banks as big buildings with many floors and rooms. Each floor represents a different part of the bank's business, like lending, investments, or operations. The rooms are like the bank's departments, like human resources or IT.
The resolution plan is like a detailed floor plan that shows how to safely and efficiently move people and things around the building in case of an emergency. The FDIC and FRB are checking if the plans are clear, complete, and make sense.
For some banks, the plans were missing some important rooms or had unclear directions. This means the building inspectors (FDIC and FRB) have to ask them to fix the plan before it's approved. The banks need to make sure their plans are strong enough to handle any emergency and that they can follow the rules to avoid causing more harm to the financial system.
The feedback letters from the FDIC and FRB are like the building inspectors' reports, pointing out the flaws and suggesting improvements. The banks have until July 1, 2025, to fix their plans and resubmit them for approval.

I understand the tradeoffs bitcoin has made and its role in the evolution of the cypherpunk movement.
You're apparently just a braindead maxi repeating slogans you heard somewhere.

You cannot call yourself a Bitcoiner if you legitimately think this is a true statement.
Bitcoin was built by cypherpunks who understood tradeoffs and adversarial thinking.
It is the antithesis of maxi groupthink.

The risk of using any custodial solution, Cashu included, is that the mint either inflates the supply or rugs you.
Hi @npub1h8n…rpev !, first of all thank you for all you do for the Bitcoin education space.
I don't want to be the 'actually 🤓' kind of guy, but I just wanted to point out a correction from an episode about Ecash being Self-Custodial around minute 1:02 (https://fountain.fm/clip/NYZOksMT97KgxEpA8HMv ) you talk about the free banking era and how the banknotes of other banks were valued at par against other banks by the population. This is not quite correct; at the edges of the financial system, there were money brokers whose job was to arbitrage by buying devalued notes and then redeeming them at par in the banks' offices.
Here is a quote about this topic from Rothbard's 'History of Money and Banking in the United States: The Colonial Era to World War II'. Page 78:
"In that era of poor communications and high transportation costs, the tendency for a bank note was to depreciate in proportion to its distance from the home office. One effective, if time-consuming, method of enforcing redemption on nominally specie-paying banks was the emergence of a class of professional 'money brokers.' These brokers would buy up a mass of depreciated notes of nominally specie-paying banks and then travel to the home office of the bank to demand redemption in specie. Merchants, money brokers, bankers, and the general public were aided in evaluating the various state bank notes by the development of monthly journals known as 'bank note detectors.' These 'detectors' were published by money brokers and periodically evaluated the market rate of various banknotes in relation to specie."
This would lead me to believe that, as @npub1t0n…jgqv said, there would be money brokers, likely 'bot' money brokers, that would act as arbitrageurs for different mints. Things like bitcoinmints.com could help create a web of trust and set a market for different ecash denominations and mints.
Thank you for all your great work!

This is something I have been given it some thought for things like video encoding. Twitch for example has a huge cost problem in terms of bandwidth it could be interesting to see a p2p network of local encoders distribute video streams locally and get paid for it either by the users or twitch themselves. All paid for and settled behind the scenes with ecash.

Sorry, that's insane and it's not how anything else works.
Its also means de facto surveillance because 99% of users are normies and will use the defaults.

I have a theroy why Moneros price rose laltely. After law enforcement agencies have shut down the biggest botnet with operation endgame, the network hashrate of Monero dropped about 25 %. Those botnet operators are arrested, the miners are stopped and they can not sell constantly those XMR anymore. So there is now less Monero on the market. What do you think! Is it possible?
I am not an expert on price.

This (FUD) paper is not about deanonymizing XMR transactions. Monero's privacy features are strong and stable. It is more about getting the real IP of the sender with a probability of 0.77, if an attacker injects 179 Tor hidden service nodes into the Monero P2P network (oage 3).
I do miss those empty blocks sometimes
really? nobody?

Open source bitcoin ATM....
Anyone here ever built one? Seems like a fun project, unless it lands you in prison, like Ian Freeman....

Would be a cool thing in my restaurants employee backroom.

I mean
i guess I'd rather have the option than not...
but fr this is some serious shit and we need to be specific about the tradeoffs
Adam Back cheering the new Wasabi release without any analysis kinda sums on the current state of bitcoin for me.
The new release is cool and I'm into it.
But it's a nuanced topic (how do we prevent coordinators from sybilling?) and he just blabs some random buzzwords.
not impressed.

Also you're also clearly incorrect
there was *already a bug. Which was provably detected and patched before it was exploited.
So your fud of "monero can't detect any inflation bug" is already wrong.
Every tx proves that the sum of its inputs and outputs equals zero.
So the circulating supply is the coinbase outputs, which are transparent.

I know exactly where you are:). Love that part of the city!
Blockwatch would be sickening.
What could cause Monero to fail?

I never check my zapper balance, lol, I just zap and it keeps working, 😆.
"The Circle" was/is a snowboard shop in Whistler, BC.... The name came from the way a group forms for smoking a doobie, lol.
So.... where are the 5-6 people on here that still zap posts?
I sure don't see many while scrolling, bear market nostr was much more fun, 😂.

"#bitcoin has NO supply elasticity and negative demand elasticity, and therefore is unlike every studied industrial commodity in the history of the world."
to be fair, the TV and satellite dish aren't actually photos of his setup, I just janked these from the webs, lol.
Bitcoin; no neck to choke.

Wife went to a friend's daughter's HS graduation party and got chatting with an old acquaintance. Her husband "has always been pretty techy" and she mentioned they mined 50 bitcoin years ago. They sold it all because it "was too volatile".
Now they have a small fraction of a coin and that "volatility" she remembers back then was nothing.
Was good for my wife to hear from someone other than me.
She's more bullish now.

When I re-noted your note, #Amethyst pops up a thing to set up zap splits, you can adjust it at that point... also I got the 2 sats just fine 😃
First of all, welcome! Second, definitely check out the hashtags #tunestr and #artstr 😃
That actually looks like some good BBQ chicken
My dad had this set-up in the 80's ...

How’s the Nomad keyboard you bought a while back?
Agreed. She freestyled it, too.
@npub1cj8…rz4u @npub1hu3…h8nh doesn't your child need a stuffie? 😂

Can't believe nobody has bought this, handmade, adorable, stuffed animal.....
I don't know how much of that tx volume is real economic activity.
and neither do you.
and nothing else is used more.
not really.
you acknowledge bitcoin is the best we got and nothing else existent now can do what it does.
but because you have very smart, very correct opinions it obviously has to be something else?
check yourself before you wreck yourself.
