Notes (10)

Maybe someone else out there in nostr land can tell me why it is so hard to get AI data on when US debt is due…I want to look at how much debt is held with maturity in each of the next 360 months (30 years)…grok can’t do it. Not at $30 a month at least.

Massless custody transfer of something finite in supply that requires energy to create. This is Bitcoin’s magic trick.

I tried to get grok to tell me how much US federal debt is maturing every month for the next 30 years. It couldn’t do it. It couldn’t do it for January 2023…answers I got ranged from $20B to $1.2T … Should this be hard? I don’t think so…I even paid $30 for the non-free version because it couldn’t finish the task in the freebie limit. And even then it timed out and I had to ask it to finish.

Transferring physical gold can transfer ownership and custody in one step, but requires moving mass (work). Transferring tokenized gold transfers ownership without transferring custody…this requires changing a ledger entry (information transformation, requires a trivial amount of work via electricity), but requires trust or force of law to enforce custodian owner relationships. Transferring bitcoin can transfer ownership and custody in one step, requiring proof of work (significant information transformation via large electricity)… Take home point? Only bitcoin can transfer custody without mass. This is enormously powerful.

Don’t forget: regardless of who is in power, they’re still coming after your assets and privacy. This can slow down but can never stop, never reverse.

People confuse AI with reasoning. AI is little more than everyone’s opinions weighted by how often they express them.

Bitcoin seed phrase backups typically have you backup the first 4 letters of each word. This means there are way more 4 letter combinations than the 2048 word word list. Therefore, there are probably plenty of seeds in your seed phrase uniquely identified by 3 letters or less…thus that final letter (or maybe letters) could conceivably by set to any letter (or number) to encode information (such as blockheight at wallet creation, so you don’t have to scan for transactions below that height)… You could extend this to words that need all 4 letters as well, by assuming the last letter for the seed really should be the first in a range of letters corresponding to the first word…that is to say if there are 4 words on the word list that match at the first three letters, then there are 6 ranges within the 26 options for the final letter that can encode data… If 50% of the words on the list can be uniquely identified by 3 letters, then that leaves 6-12 characters that can be used for data encoding per seed. If we allow any letter or number, this could be 26^6-36^12 bits of info…which is enough to encode even a complex wallet descriptor….i think. I get 308 million bits at the low end…if my math is correct.

I think I have a good idea on how to improve bitcoin seed phrases. But I have to learn what improvement lightning seeds already did to see if my idea is novel…

Bankers claim Really Bad Things will happen if we don’t give them more money to stabilize the banking system. Governments claim Really Bad Things will happen if we don’t take out even more debt. I call BS…we are being held captive by thugs who want to steal from us and have us not fight back. As soon as they can make more money by crashing the system than by stealing from you, you can bet your bottom dollar that is what they will do. I expect to see this before death. But they might also realize then can steal and crash the system simultaneously and make more than even they can imagine. Someday this will happen, but hopefully not in my lifetime.
