I'd say it's a lot of verbosity but it's at least got style. And having seen it take us literally months to get a guy to successfully verify the hash of a Bitcoin Knots download, I've learned that sometimes verbosity is necessary...

Turns out roofers aren't always the most tech savvy.

It's the nickel lining in these mugs that is the issue. Both nickel and titanium have been linked with PCOS.

To be fair, Terra Luna and FTX happened.

But on the other hand, MVRV Z-Score hasn't dipped below zero yet, and that's happened EVERY single bear market before the new bull run begins.

Actually, you can do covenants, using PIPEs (Polynomial Inner Product Encryption), ColliderScript, and a handful of other methods.

Soft forks would be more streamlined and trustless, and in the case of ColliderScript, a LOT cheaper.

The permission the network extends is defined by what is consensus valid. No additional permission is necessary.

That's what consensus rules ARE.

Otherwise, there would have needed to be permission to add lightning, permission to add coinjoins, permission to add submarine swaps...

The network treats all consensus valid bits as equal, in keeping with cypherpunk net neutrality principles.

By all means, if you actually can come up with a way to make monetary bits consensus valid and non-monetary bits not, all ears. But no, BIP-110 does not achieve that, nor do I believe it to actually be possible.

That's where mempool policy and block template creation come into play, and where the matter should have rested.

I read that as this pictured hoodie and wondered how you had a nostrich hoodie from the 00's... 🐰

I mean...I still don't get why we care so much about the Clarity Act. I suppose the stablecoin issuers are often buying Bitcoin with their profits, but at the end of the day, consumers have access to money market funds which really are going to outdo banks and come with all of the flexibility of deposits anyway (just without the FDIC insurance).

Also, is there a reason most Americans would ever have a reason to use a stablecoin? They seem great for people stuck on shitty fiat that isn't used internationally who don't have access to dollar accounts, but where's the motivation for an American? I suppose it's an alternative if you get debanked, and alternatives are good, but we do already have Cash Management brokerage accounts.

Really seems like much ado about nothing.

I recent registered a jabber name to look and see if i could find reason to use Pidgin again. There was just something about a message popping up on screen that hit different than just being delivered to an existing window. I guess in that I'd actually see it 😆. Technically there's a pidgin plugin to use with discord but in practice it's insane unless you really are just talking to individuals rather than joining the chats, as every separate channel is, well, a separate channel.

Wait, how? The servers shut down in 2024.

Love me a good "Gol-ly!"

I guess he can't do musical generation or actual sheet music. I asked that the birds be treated as eighth notes and each section of wires as a trebel clef.
