Sounds awesome. It would be very helpful if you could list all potential weakness and trade offs, or is it perfect in every way?

When watching a Netflix series, it's fun to play the game, "which character isn't randomly gay?"

Quick reminder, cholesterol is not a toxin and neither is CO2

My website, with my FREE #Bitcoin educational guides and articles is getting a lot of hits... If you'd like to advertise on the site, kindly GFY. 😜

It's important to have a government, otherwise it'll be the Wild West, and whoever has the most guns will control the population and make up whatever rules they want. Wait.

When your wife is upset and yelling about something stupid, don't say, "cool story, mate" - nothing good happens.

If government had it's way, ALL interactions between humans would be regulated.

Did you know, door manufacturers, after October 31, will no longer produce doors with locks, because locks on doors don't stop crime. I could explain but the way locks work is quite technical, you wouldn't get it. Instead, I'll get Shinobi to run Adam Hack's X account to explain to people how locks technically work (eDuCaTiON) to distract them from what's going on. There will also be debates and forums on spaces. If you don't like it, just use windows instead of doors, or build your own doors.

Democracy - it's a criminal offence to sell your vote, but it's fine that politicians are trying to buy them.

While working on #BitVotr version 2, I've been able to solve its Byzantine general's problem by using Bitcoin as a reference. It seems to me it can be used to solve BGPs for ALL other distributed networks. Because it's solved once, it's solved for all. All nodes in BitVotr can agree on some time-based state of data, as in, which version is latest and valid, by requiring it to contain the latest known bitcoin hash, which can then settle latency related uncertainties. Additionally, when a random node needs to be chosen, all can agree on which random node by using a random number from the latest bitcoin block (the hash), then apply that to the numbered list (with modulo).

Get a girl who's a Bitcoiner and uses vim. Nah, don't, that's a dude.

Really enjoying studying Hoppe's argumentation theory of ethics. Quickest summary - "in order to be eligible to use arguments that I'm wrong (property rights), you first have to agree to the rules of what argument is, and once you do that, you're saying you're wrong". Checkmate.

There are a few people out there who don't make their own pastirma and frankly, it's a little upsetting. It's not expensive to make. Recipe... https://armantheparman.com/pastirma

"I'm happy to pay MY taxes." GFY, dickhead, you'd also swallow for YOUR rapist.

I have to stop coding in my sleep, all that work wasted. There is no save button. Like actual life, you can't save anything.

Bitcoin isn't supposed to replace banks. The purpose is to end the CENTRAL banking scam. Central banking is not the same thing as regular banking. When designing a DIGITAL MONEY you need to eliminate the central coordinator of the money, which has always been necessary to protect against double spending. It is that central coordinator, the central bank, that Satoshi eliminated the need for (a solution to the Byzantine generals problem). Nothing to do with the banking service which is highly valuable to humanity. Banking is just messed up at the moment because of malincentives and government protection policies, and broken money.

Feb2023 - Bitcoin Core changed the documentation in secret to prevent fixing a bug that helps spammers (see link). They basically changed the rules to reject @LukeDashjr 's pull request to fix it. And now they're pushing another change which is related to it as a default on all Bitcoin Core users. The defenders of Bitcoin Core are calling Luke dasher the one that you can't trust. But it's not even a Bitcoin Core versus Luke dashjr argument it's a Bitcoin Core maintainers (small team of 5 in power) fucked up and is probably infiltrated/incentivised by spammers and shitcoiners argument. Anyone spending a lot of time arguing for Core in the name of eduCAtIOn, is highly suspect, and it's clear they all speak in fallacies. I'm keeping records, and so far I've seen nothing to the contrary. https://wtfhappenedinfeb2023.com/fixing-a-bug-through-documentation-change

It's possible to install Bitcoin Core instead of Knots on Parmanode software, but you're going to get an earful from me... If the user ignores my warning, I'm not leaving them alone. If Core can change defaults, so can I. Honest improvement... There is a single click upgrade (yes, upgrade, not update), to Knots. Takes 2 minutes and the blockchain is preserved. aaaaand, it's live. version 3.66.0
