Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Caroll is essentially how Bitcoiners feel in Fiat world. #bitcoin

"I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, sir," said Alice, "because I'm not myself, you see — being so many different sizes in a day is very confusing." Lewis Caroll

She longed to get out of that dark hall and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but she could not even get her head through the doorway. Lewis Caroll

"You're nothing but a pack of cards!" At this, the whole pack rose up in the air and came flying down upon her. Lewis Caroll

"Why is a raven like a writing-desk?" "I haven't the slightest idea," said the Hatter. "Nor I," said the March Hare. Alice gave a weary sigh. "I think you might do something better with the time," she said, "than wasting it in asking riddles that have no answers." Lewis Caroll

"Which way? Which way?" cried Alice, looking about in great alarm... she was beginning to grow larger again. Lewis Caroll

"Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle!" "I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then." Lewis Caroll

"No, no!" said the Queen. "Sentence first—verdict afterwards." "Stuff and nonsense!" said Alice loudly. "The idea of having the sentence first!" "Hold your tongue!" said the Queen, turning purple. "I won't!" said Alice. "Off with her head!" the Queen shouted at the top of her voice. Nobody moved. Lewis Caroll

The Dormouse sat between them, fast asleep... neither of the others took the least notice of her going.

First it marked out a race-course, in a sort of circle... There was no 'One, two, three and away!' but they began running when they liked and left off when they liked, so that it was not easy to know when the race was over... 'Everybody has won, and all must have prizes.' Lewis Caroll

@Jack K @Deleted Account curious to hear your take on our dice entropy analysis:

Dice Entropy — ARTEL 21

in our humble opinion we should revisit this topic from very basics: * what is optimal dice * what is rejection sampling * how to verify entropy it sounds like entropy as memory school of though isn't here yet if you have any experts in geometry and material production, please loop them in there's also business opportunity to found D8 or similar dice company cause options on the market are worse than signers personally I wonder if you can manufacture high entropy dices at home at the same time if there's another verifiable method I'm all ears cause to verify dice entropy you need to throw it 10000 times here's the small test app we developed if you'd like to test your dice

Dice Entropy Test — ARTEL 21

we also attempted to put together d8 guide

The d8 Guide — ARTEL 21

let me know if it all sounds crazy but looking for like minded people here

For newcomers who's missed our early notes. Bitcoin is a child universe within our universe. Study @The Bitcoin Lens to learn more.

It looks like primal just doesn't work for me. @Jack K please check my notes on ditto.pub

There's no chain split required if we price witness bits same as transactions bits.

State of Bitcoin: * Bitcoin Core is attacking network via enabling more data storage options * Bitcoin Knots is misleading network that filters are the only solution * No one: pricing all bits at the same price Guys, until we price all bits within the block equally we are fucked. Go learn what is witness discount. Understand how it destroys fee market and distorts the incentives.
