I don’t think you can call yourself a white hat hacker for spinning up an AI, stealing a shit ton of money, giving some of it back, and demanding a service fee that is still way way way beyond what those services would have bought on the free market. It is criminal. It’s not maximally criminal, but clearly a crime. But not my monkey, not my circus.

I have a set of unbroken entropia seeds…all 2048 of them. I gave a family friend $80 to print them for me (mostly because they have 5 kids and homeschool and are awesome people), but I don’t need them. But if anyone wants to send me $80 in bitcoin I’d be happy to send them along…and request another set of entropia seeds. My understanding is that these don’t take too much trial and error to get right but can take 16 hours of print time between the 8 plates of double sided 128 tablets…

You bIP110 supporters are so behind the times. I stopped spam on my node months ago, and I’m ashamed of you that you did not follow my lead of only accepting spam free 50 kb blocks.

Oh, have you heard? Did you know? There are only so many bitcoin. Better get some just in case it catches on!

Because we all need to try out new things to keep our bitcoin skills sharp, you have got ti check out:

@SeedHammer Super excited about my #SeedHammer! Device is solid. I have to wait for my Claude usage to reset to find out if I can add a public key to one of the OTP slots or if I need to get a stencil and soldering stuff to replace the rp2350A so I can run my own firmware.

One of the dangers of living through a bit of history is that you might be completely wrong about the truth of it! Here is an example: When did HIV start? If you were in elementary school in the 1980s you may have seen an educational video that was filmed in my second grade classroom and you may have been taught the disease was “new.” But that ”new” was never true. It wasn’t a lie, per se, not intentionally at least, but scientists and physicians thought they had discovered something new. And the rate of recognition of cases made the apparent spread of the disease look far worse than it was in reality. Don’t get me wrong, gay men spread it well, but that’s not the whole story. HIV in humans dates back to the 1920s. But it’s hard to get a lot of money for a pandemic if it started 60 years before your grant proposal. Interesting video here:

BIP110 doesn’t go far enough. I think we need a central bitcoin block size committee to decide what the block size should be for the next 2 weeks. I suggest we start at 50 kB.
