pretty much an exact description of the problem but there's no will to see it done. After Paul’s eCash fork I am selling all my Bitcoin. I want my drivechain memecoin airdrop and then I am done with the Saylor/Blackrock shitcoin forever. I wish it wouldn’t be so.

utxo math is brutal. look into ark or fedimints. drivechains have zero consensus momentum anyway. l1 scaling usually breaks the node hardware floor. i'd rather keep the home node viable.
weev profile picture
Drivechains are the only serious proposal. That there’s no consensus momentum is irrelevant, it is just a sign that Bitcoin is never going to be money as long as these people are in charge and we need to abandon it to turn Blackrock and Saylor into bag holders, hopefully to the point Saylor and everyone like him commits suicide, and show we won’t tolerate anything that isn’t a fungible medium of exchange first.

Yeah I ate dog. It was pretty decent. I’m not hung up on the YOU CANT EAT ANY ANIMAL I KEEP AS A PET thing. This attitude lead to one of the greatest ecological catastrophes in American history. When Obama banned horse slaughter, people released their shitty mill bred lawn ornament ponies into the wild instaed of selling them to the slaughterhouse. They all had tons of genetic health problems, and they ended up breeding with wild horse stocks, which have virtually none. Millions of years of evolution done by a single act of congress and a bunch of old retards who grew up with too much money being like YOU CANT EAT THE NOBLE HORSE, I RODE THEM IN MY YOUTH. Good job assholes.

Anyways, dog is pretty good. I’d eat it again. And I fucking love dogs. But frankly, cows have even nicer personalities than dogs and I’m not going to stop eating cheeseburgers either.

REAL LIFE RUSSIAN VILLAGE SUPERSTITIONS UPDATE:

A cheburek stand with extremely low filling made a village girl accuse them of using dog meat. I told her I’d tried dog a couple times in Asia and it was better than those chebureki. She, in complete earnestness, asks me if dog meat is really a way to treat tuberculosis. That’s what many in her village believe is true.

Unlike the wolf pussy talismans, which I was able to trivially find on Yandex marketplace in multiple oblasts all across Russia, I am unable to easily verify that this belief is widespread beyond her village. But it probably is.

I got involved in this thread because I didn't like that a half truth was being presented as evidence. I wasn't actually making other claims one way or another about Odell, and I'm still not because I...

My claim is that a federal plea deal costs 30k and Odell raised a million. Who was taking the donors for a ride is up in the air, but Odell had a responsibility as a “rights organization” to vet the affair and make sure people’s valuable money was not wasted via corruption. On p2prights.org, the fundraising site, he made a very specific claim:

https://web.archive.org/web/20250426105751/https://p2prights.org/projects.html

> Financial prudence is essential; therefore, the fund will evaluate the cost-effectiveness of different types of legal support

He did not do this, at all.

Nor did he do this:

> We will assess the likelihood and scale of success in each case. … the probability of legal victory, and the value of the legal precedent that success might establish.

No real rights organization like the EFF would hand a law firm for someone who didn’t even go to trial yet a million fucking dollars. That’s more than it takes to go through the *entire appeals process*. I should know, I forged federal criminal precedent in my federal computer crimes case which I won on appeal. I did it with roughly 80k total, including trial and appeals. So I know very well what things cost in regards to computer crimes prosecutions.

> Why would Odell be responsible for deciding how to spend money on the Samourai plea deal?

Read the claims on his website, he claims to be responsible in multiple ways right there. It’s just another way he completely abdicated his fiduciary duty and lost yet another million dollars of other people’s money. It’s literally all he does, ever.

This seems like a conflation of Odell with BPI as well as with the Samourai legal team, i.e. you're holding him personally responsible for every decision in the case. It's also a conflation of the cost of a plea deal with the cost of the entire legal ordeal. I can't sort through it all and don't ...

I got involved in this thread because I didn't like that a half truth was being presented as evidence. I wasn't actually making other claims one way or another about Odell, and I'm still not because I don't know much about any of these claims. Regarding Odell and the Samourai case: what exactly is ...

I can't verify most of these accusations myself, and it sounds like you can't do that either for some of them - but I think it's fair to say that Odell's reputation has taken a huge hit and that peopl...

you can verify literally all of them. Just look at the Primal code. It’s not a secret that it reads exclusively from their centralized caching service.

It’s also not a secret what a federal plea deal costs with a private attorney. You can call a few up today and get a few quotes, and find one to do it for 30-50k.

yes, I'm sure I can verify some, but not exactly everyone's role in each one

He’s not 100% responsible. When you are only a part of a criminal conspiracy we call that being a “co-conspirator”. Generally you are punished according to the law with equal weight to the actua...

Compounding the fraud is that he is still doing the exact same thing, and engaging the same conflict of interests. Now he is out promoting Bitkey. Bitkey has insane risks attached to biometrics and inheritance. Why is he promoting it? Because he is personally financially connected to the founders of Block. If he were acting in people’s best interests he would be recommending Trezor, but instead he is recommending yet another risky “innovative” wallet because he is financially connected to the people responsible. He repeats the same corrupt behavior endlessly. He’s a piece of shit scammer.

It isn't just this incident either, he lost a million fucking dollars on the Samourai deal. A million dollars was raised for a fucking plea deal. A federal criminal plea deal costs maybe 30k, potentially slightly more. He burned roughly 950k out of incompetence or corruption. We don’t get an accountancy of the funds, so it’s hard to tell which.

He also grifted all of Jack Dorsey’s money earmarked for Nostr into Primal, which is not a Nostr client at all. It’s a centralized service that happens to publish data to Nostr, but when you read notes on Primal it reads from their “caching service” exclusively, and does not use the Nostr protocol at all for reading data. They have been caught red-handed using this centralized server for censorship.

He also similarly supports Spark projects. All Spark traffic goes through a single centralized server which gives them the power of surveillance and censorship. Sound familiar?

This is what Odell does repeatedly: fund shitty censorware and surveillanceware and lose a ton of people’s money. He’s a corrupt, scheming piece of shit and you are a fucking cuckold pay pig that needs to break out of the Stockholm syndrome that your parasocial relationship has put you into.
