After looking at every argument and consuming as much information as I can, considering my own bias and trying to be as objective as possible. I've changed my mind about #core vs #knots I no longer support either side. The most objectively correct, reasoned and logical arguments I have seen have come from #monero advocates. Spam and trying to turn Btc into media hosting or some kind of utility coin is retarded, so knots and bip110 is still better than core but it does not actually do anything to promote Bitcoin as money and it barely even addresses the spam problem. The bip110 obviously isn't a permanent solution it's just meant to create time for better solutions or force core to fork the chain themselves. I think the Bitcoin community is too toxic for real solutions to be put forward and be accepted with enough consensus, even if the knots fork wins other things won't be addressed we will all end up using either privacy alt coins like monero or give up and use kyc lightning centralised around a handful of corporations or kyc stable coins centralised around a handful of corporations. Instead of taking power away from private central banks to give to the public btc is on track to give that power to corporations.

This is what they took from you. (Functional hats) #fuckcars

Daily active users for nostr clients. Can anyone confirm if this is accurate? Google asked if I wanted to learn python script to search relays for client tags myself and I told it to shut the fuck up and give me numbers. So it could have just made this shit up to appease me like AI is known for doing.

Too cold today

Node runners do not want to host childporn on their nodes. Simple. No amount of mental gymnastics can change that. And yes it was data cap removal that caused previous chain forks, and as you can observe those forks are full of child porn images, not just links to websites that are shut down like with Btc chain. When the corepedocoin forks it will be worth as much as bsv, it might even finally be what drives bsv to 0 when all the pedophiles from bsv move to the corepedocoin. View quoted note →

Citadels is a funny term for anything to do with Bitcoin. Citadels existed for people who were afraid of the plebs. It's a fortified city centre where commoners are not allowed. Like, if your own citizens are as big a threat to you as enemy soldiers, that's when you need a citadel.

I need to stop using primal. the 5 seconds I save because it loads faster always gets wasted when I try to post a note or reply and get limited, fail to upload a comment 10 times before giving up and switching to a different client. Plus all these new bugs they added make the app almost completely unusable anyway.

Birds in the tree watching me in the garden. "Ok I'll go inside and let yous have it" It would be cool if they trusted me more without feeding them directly, Its not helpful to feed wild animals directly, they can end up malnourished and dependant on people. Instead I let a lot of vegetables flower and go to seed, and have ponds stocked with small fish and azola so there's always lots of food for the wildlife.

Trump giving out participation metals to the losers. Ask any boomer and they'll tell you this is exactly why the new generation are so soft. Meanwhile it's the boomers handing these awards out. Idk about y'all but when i was in school getting participation trophies felt like a humiliation ritual they did as punishment for being a loser. View quoted note →

Why would they have a halftime show during soccer? If children can play soccer without needing a rest at halftime, I'm pretty sure professional athletes can play a full game of soccer without taking a break. Glad I'm not a soccer fan, because if I was I would be upset that USA and FIFA are making it into some gay shit for weak men Half time, lol, shits pathetic.

I guess the soccer is not over. How much longer does this thing go for? This game everyone talking about now is the final match right? thought it was over already

If I try to explain it, it'll be 10 pages of ramblings, so I asked google to explain. Bitcoin miners and medieval scriveners (monks or professional scribes) are highly comparable. Both serve as the trusted, decentralized keepers of truth for their respective eras.Here is how the analogy works across five key areas: 1. Ledger Maintenance Both jobs exist solely to update a master record of truth. Scriveners: They manually copied religious, legal, and financial texts into books. This kept the historical and institutional record alive. Miners: They digitally compile transactional data into a block. This updates the global Bitcoin ledger. 2. Proof of Work Both require immense, verifiable physical effort to prevent errors or fraud. Scriveners: Writing by hand for hours required intense muscle labor, ink formulation, and animal skin preparation. The sheer difficulty meant records could not be forged easily on a whim. Miners: They run high-powered computers to solve complex mathematical puzzles. This requires vast amounts of electricity, creating an unforgeable cryptographic history. 3. Verification and Redundancy Both systems rely on copyists checking each other's work to achieve consensus. Scriveners: Scribes across different monasteries copied the same texts. If one scribe made an error or altered a line, comparing it to other copies exposed the fraud. Miners: Thousands of nodes maintain identical copies of the blockchain. If one miner tries to alter a transaction, the rest of the network rejects it. 4. High Barriers to Entry Neither role is accessible to the average person due to the cost of tools. Scriveners: Scribes required rare literacy, expensive vellum, specialized inks, and institutional backing from the Church or royalty. Miners: Mining requires expensive, specialized computer hardware (ASICs) and access to cheap, industrial-scale electricity. 5. Economic Incentives Both groups receive payment directly tied to the volume and accuracy of their output. Scriveners: Scribes were paid a piece-rate per page or per book, often funded by wealthy patrons or tithing. Miners: Miners receive a block reward (newly minted Bitcoin) and transaction fees paid by the users of the network.

A mining pool can be called a Scriptorium. Seriously this is the perfect terminology. Nodes being libraries, is pretty simple but things like printing press or printing houses didn't feel right to me, scrivener, makes far more sense, they didn't just copying texts but verified authenticity. The monks who memorised and copied religious texts were also referred to as scriveners. It'd be a cool word to bring back into modern language. View quoted note →

I just found the perfect terminology for what #bitcoin "miners" are and do. This is literally what the miners do. #asknostr #opinions ?

Not being able to sleep in anymore is as much a curse as a blessing Nah probably more of a blessing, but I'm so damn tired. I feel like I haven't slept at all.

GN I don't know where the time went. Somehow it's already 2:33am Poor dog waiting to go to bed.

If you actually want to escape the matrix, go camping. That's it. Leave everything behind and go camping.
