Getting an email with spelling mistakes and bad punctuation is refreshingly human.

The tumult and the shouting dies; The captains and the kings depart: Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice, An humble and a contrite heart. Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget—lest we forget!

I do love technical bitcoiners. Give any thread long enough, even some heated debate, and they'll start discussing some new great technical solution. View quoted note →

Because people starting to realise ecash on bitcoin is a beautiful castle built on the sand of very shaky assumptions. Much of the energy/resources would have been better allocated elsewhere. Any effort to point this out was attacked, at times because of the monetary interests at play grants etc. Those who have expressed honest criticism, or even just indifference publicly @jb55, have felt sidelined as naysayers by industry as a whole, which should not happen. There have been few underhanded attacks from cashu camp against projects that invalidate ecash use case. I can see why some animosity has built, and public indifference flipped to open criticism. If someone has nothing to gain by critising something, yet a lot to lose, it's an honest opinion that should be listened to. View quoted note →
