Looks like the Iranian presidents helicopter was Stuxnet'ed?

About one year ago today the UTXO size was 5.6 GB, today it is 11.3 GB. - it took ~14 years to get to 5.6 GB - thanks to ordinals and friends it took 1 year to double that - you can't run a pruned node (and BTCPay Server) anymore on a cheap 20 GB VPS Tell me how it is just degens gambling and not an attack. We not even talk about how the exploit can be used to cause controlled fee spikes or degen fuled long time high fee phases harming normal monetary transactions. It is subtle but it is a huge attack vector nevertheless. Just look how Stuxnet was carried out, those are the attacks we need to expect not the obvious short term effects.

The EU will become a surveillance shithole. On the bright side this will hopefully wake more people up and try to escape it. Using nostr and Bitcoin in the self-sovereign way it was intended to, P2P without any custodians. View quoted note →

I see two options: 1. we coinjoin everything and make coinjoins / mixing unenforcable that way 2. we shit our pants, stop coinjoining and can only use coinjoined funds in dark market or p2p What else?

Seems Samourai founders arrested. While not fan of Samourai attitude this is bad.

 

> Anyway, Israel should feel free to just nuke Iran from existence This shows same lack of empathy and respect for other humans that Peter Todd accuses evil countries like Russia, Iran, ... of. Bitcoin may makes war unaffordable but it won't fix the cruelty some humans. Peter does not care about wiping out millions of innocent kids, women, men that just happened to be born in the wrong country and not in a peaceful one like himself. By his logic how many other countries - of people not overthrowing their evil regimes - should be wiped out to get rid of all the evil people? Wipe out 500m, 2bn, 4bn? This has nothing to do on which side you are. This is about being human or being a soulless warmonger that has no problem wit killing hundrets of million innocent people just because he thinks to know every aspect of history, powers at play and also has the moral high ground about that topic. Batshit crazy and disgusting.

What's your sats/vbyte fee prediction for block 840000 / 840001? #asknostr I predict 2100 sats/vbyte because spammers and rare sat chasers are stupid enough to pay that.
