My attempt to write an article with Yakyhonne. Simple editor with the most necessary formatting. Technically it worked quite well so far. #bitcoin #article #Yakihonne nostr:naddr1qvzqqqr4gupzpcd3sngavhfxalfd8ksvd24r6a3839q3mmgcsc38ktcz57kxvg5mqq2kud2edaukucjnfankvemdtp28vn25xf5rvgmgqa6

I read a post from nostr:nprofile1qqstk884y5zrtl68tnvtx2kty037u7a73lpc7623wp950xz389rkwtqpzfmhxue69uhkummnw3ezua3sdshxjmcpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6un9d3shjtnhd3m8xtnnwpskxega4epfs today that really caught my attention. The last time I came across the ARK protocol was about 1–2 years ago — back then it felt like a real glimpse of hope. I am not a big fan of the current lightning usability. For me custodial lightning is not a solution and non-custodial is technical to complicated. Maybe nostr:nprofile1qqstk884y5zrtl68tnvtx2kty037u7a73lpc7623wp950xz389rkwtqpzfmhxue69uhkummnw3ezua3sdshxjmcpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ez6un9d3shjtnhd3m8xtnnwpskxega4epfs can help me out with a few questions? ——————————————— ARK relies on “Ark Service Providers” (ASPs) to coordinate off-chain CoinJoin rounds every 5 seconds. ARK is non-custodial. ASPs never control the users’ actual Bitcoin – instead, users interact via “virtual UTXOs” (vTXOs), which can always be reclaimed on-chain by the user. Even if an ASP goes offline or becomes malicious, the protocol is designed so users don’t lose funds — they just exit back to the main chain. That raises key questions, if there is a bad actor : 1) how the protocol prevent users to loose sats? (How the vTXOs goes back to the user) 2) Is privacy really protected? (Incl. Metadata) —————————————- A try to simplify ARK in a few words: What is ARK? A new Bitcoin Layer 2 protocol with the simplicity of e-cash, the privacy of CoinJoin, and no custody risks. Unlike Lightning, there’s no need to open channels or lock up liquidity. How it works: Users receive off-chain “vTXOs” (valid for 4 weeks) Ark Service Providers (ASPs) batch transactions every 5 sec via CoinJoin Fast, cheap, private payments Interoperable with Lightning via HTLCs Pros: No channels, no liquidity management Better UX for casual users Enhanced privacy Runs on Bitcoin mainnet – no soft fork needed Cons: ASPs are central coordination points (non-custodial but not decentralized) - Trust Reliant on regular CoinJoin rounds Time-limited vTXOs can expire Still early: Alpha stage, no production wallets yet ARK is a promising complement to Lightning — not a competitor. Still early, but could become a major building block for scalable, user-friendly Bitcoin payments. #Bitcoin #Layer2 #ARK #LightningNetwork #BTC

When freedom technologies merge, they create a foundation for something far greater than we can currently imagine. Their true potential is still dormant—what we see now is only the beginning. #bitcoin #nostr

Important to Understand: It Doesn’t End with the Software When it comes to digital security and privacy, many assume that using open source software is enough. But that’s only part of the equation. In reality, the foundation — the hardware — plays an equally critical role. If the underlying hardware is closed, proprietary, and unverifiable, even the most transparent software can be undermined without your knowledge. The uncomfortable truth: True end-to-end control over your digital environment is incredibly complex — and for most people, not realistically achievable without significant trade-offs. Why? Because for 99% of users, compromises are unavoidable. Technical Know-how: Verifying firmware, modifying BIOS/UEFI, or sourcing open-hardware alternatives like RISC-V or Coreboot-based laptops require deep technical expertise. Most users simply don’t have the time or background to dive that deep. Lifestyle and Family Integration: Technology isn’t used in isolation. It’s embedded in our homes, shared with partners and children, and must “just work.” Most people choose convenience, reliability, and usability over absolute control — especially when family routines, professional tools, and daily communication depend on it. I sincerely hope the open source movement continues to evolve — not just in software, but across the entire technology stack — so that we can gradually close these critical gaps. A future where both hardware and software are transparent, verifiable would empower individuals and organizations alike to take true ownership of their digital lives. #OpenSource

The Path of Life Not every turn is marked. Not every sign points the way. But on the path of life, it’s not the noise around you that leads you forward — it’s the quiet voice within. Your inner compass knows what’s right for you, even when the road feels unclear. And often, it’s the uncertain path that brings you home. #TheWayOfLife

#chatgpt #raydalio #usa #BigCycleofNational Power Just asked chatgp… The Big Cycle of the United States (1800–2100) Based on Ray Dalio’s Model of the Rise and Fall of Empires ⸻ 1. The Rise (approx. 1800–1945) Key Traits: • Rapid industrialization (railroads, electricity, manufacturing) • Strong institutions and investment in education • Rising global trade and innovation leadership • Increasing productivity and global influence • Financial discipline and low internal conflict ⸻ 2. The Peak (approx. 1945–1990) Key Traits: • Post–WWII dominance: U.S. becomes world leader economically, politically, and militarily • Establishment of global institutions (UN, IMF, NATO) • The U.S. dollar becomes the world’s reserve currency • Global tech dominance (e.g. Silicon Valley, NASA) • National unity and optimism (e.g. “American Dream”) ⸻ 3. Early Decline (approx. 1990–2020) Key Traits: • Deindustrialization and rising national debt • Growing income inequality and social division • Costly wars with little strategic gain (Iraq, Afghanistan) • 2008 Financial Crisis signals internal systemic weakness • China’s economic and geopolitical rise begins challenging U.S. supremacy ⸻ 4. Late Decline (approx. 2020–2040?) (Current Phase) Key Traits (according to Dalio): • Extremely high debt levels & political gridlock • Erosion of public trust in institutions • Widening social and cultural polarization • Declining global influence, rising multipolar world (China, BRICS) • Increased internal conflict risk (protests, radicalization, legitimacy crises) ⸻ 5. What Comes Next? (2040–2100?) Possible Scenarios: • Peaceful Renewal: The U.S. reforms itself and begins a new cycle of growth • Further Decline: Loss of reserve currency status, economic stagnation, internal fragmentation • Geopolitical Conflict: Direct confrontation with China over trade, ideology, or military zones (e.g. Taiwan) ⸻ Dalio’s Core Message: “No empire stays on top forever — but the way the transition unfolds depends on how well a nation adapts to internal and external challenges.”

Took a brief detour on X—only to head right back. Too many ads, too much curated messaging and a flood of content that feels more distracting than meaningful #Nostr #BackFromX

If the seed words are known but the passphrase is not, could specialized program code be used to efficiently brute-force the passphrase? This got me wondering: how complex does the passphrase need to be? #asknostr nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc

#bitcoin and #monero are decentralized digital currencies that enable secure, pseudonymous, and censorship-resistant transactions. Both have their own unique technical approaches, which complement each other very well. Big thanks to all who enable #FreedomMoney

#asknostr is there a good opensource android client that support filtering unread messages of followed profile? at the moment i use amethist, it is a great client, but does not has this function (or i do not find it).

there is no second best #btc #xmr both technologies have advantages and disadvantages. the advantages outweigh the disadvantages in their respective disciplines. the technologies complement each other very well. both are POW, decentralized and community driven. should not be a competition, but rather a cooperation.
