0 sats \ 1 reply \ @Lumor 7 May \ on: Bitcoin testing is a ghost town (part 2) bitcoin
Started reading expecting a lack of unit/functional/fuzz testing. Could do with specifying user/UX testing.
Agree this needs to be taken more seriously. We should be ready before a new wave of users come. I'm sure devs seeing how users experience their software would blow their minds and change their priorities.
Have a similar impression of Zeus from a few years back. Expected it to be the bee's knees from having heard about it on podcasts, and it was cool for being made by one guy, but the error handling was raw. Probably has improved in recent years.
There's somewhat of a bitcoin design community to help out with this, but maybe something more is needed to augment them in order to be effective.
30 sats \ 0 replies \ @Lumor 11 Apr \ on: Are you using taproot addresses when you go on chain? bitcoin
Considering that quantum computing could have an easier time attacking naked pubkeys on-chain (Taproot) than more ephemerally exposed pubkeys in the mempool (spending from Segwit), I am hesitant to use Taproot.

Less and less so. Haven't listened enough to reproduce his threshold.

Pretty sure he is one of them rich communists, yes. Can't have a government too big or admit issues with population replacement.

A family member recommended Gary's Economics. He happens to talk on the subject of how the rich are changed by becoming super-rich. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wPoXOwiEfrQ&t=58s
(While he makes reasonable-sounding ...sounds, I think his conclusions and solutions are wrong).

You can find one of the lead devs Bob McElrath on a couple of episodes here since August at least: https://bitcoinops.org/en/podcast/
My impression is that they are getting more work done recently, but also adding/discovering more work to do.

Is it usable already? Thought it was pre-alpha.

Missing sats-supremacist mode.
0 sats \ 0 replies \ @Lumor 14 Mar \ parent \ on: What’s the strangest place you’ve ever slept? AskSN
What is the ratio of US drivers who (never) drive while under the influence of drugs/alcohol? Seems to be a bit of a cultural curiosity to an outsider. Some kind of token for being free enough to go against the redcoats?

In the long run, maybe. In the meantime they will continue to be weaponized against us.

Most people are NPCs.
This is the issue that brings me back to the state. If we can't awaken the NPC majority, we need to prevent them from messing too much with our minority.
