You seem really organized. I'm impressed. The only way I've been able to impose organization on my family is by not having very much stuff.
I'm hoping it's a data collection thing, like people are not being counted as part of the labor force if they are driving for uber or freelancing or something.
If it really is a 20% difference in labor force participation...yeah, pretty bad.
Today I learned about mempoo.space (#859048)
In one of their earlier posts they talk about the methodology and how many people. Here's what they say in part 0:
Over the next 10 weeks, we’re releasing findings from one of the most comprehensive global studies ever conducted on Bitcoin and financial freedom supported by The Human Rights Foundation and The Reynolds Foundation.
- ✅ 25,000 people
- 🌍 25 countries
- 📊 250 interviews
Also it seems that these are preliminary results or something. The official report on their research will be released in 2026.
They have been releasing new data though every week, and it usually shows up on X first, then they post it to their repository. This is week 9's data, which I imagine will show up on the repository sometime soon.
The loudest voices preaching about taste and AI are often the ones who never demonstrated taste before AI.
Ouch.
Michigan's bill would charge internet service providers with detecting and blocking VPN use, as well as banning the sale of VPNs in the state. Associated fines would be up to $500,000.
Not excited about this trend. Especially using ISPs to do their enforcement. We already have banks enforcing and surveiling us at the government's behest.
Reported minimum relay fees
| MinRelayFee | Nodes 10/09 | Nodes 15/09 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 sat/vB | 25,125 (89.0%) | 24,695 (86.5%) |
| No FEEFILTER sent | 2,135 (7.6%) | 2,331 (8.2%) |
| 0.1 sat/vB | 569 (2.0%) | 1105 (3.9%) |
| 91709971 | 84 (0.3%) | 73 (0.3%) |
| .001 sat/vB | 81 (0.3%) | 91 (0.3%) |
I'm surprised that so much of the network (~87%) is still at 1 sat/vB, especially considering that we are seeing almost 40% of all transactions having a sub-1 sat/vB feerate.
I suppose the nofeefilter set nodes may also be relaying transactions, although I suspect they would be using the default of whatever client they are running. Core 29 I think is the only version that has a lower default than 1 sat/vB.
4% of nodes having a more permissive policy leads to sub-1 sat/vB transactions being 40% of all transactions.

ah, yes, i see that. but I'm not really sure what WoS has to offer over PayPal in that case...
maybe it's that you can send international more easily?
no offline receive, must manage liquidity, to start you have to open a channel, you can't just receive a little zap.
sure wallets are solving all of these problems in different ways, but the clunkiness is still there. one must be pretty motivated to persevere to the point where everything feels easy.
Cool! Thanks for the info! I hadn't heard about your project before, but it sounds like a great deal.
Words are not violence. When you pretend that views that oppose your own are violence, you are justifying the use of actual violence towards the speaker.
I see that, like me, you got a bit riled up by this doozy: they really do come off as people who are displeased that the world is changing and who can't be troubled to change with it.
I did enjoy their jaundiced view of their own profession though.
Also, this is spot on:
Can someone please explain to me why one would publish something if not for that "intellectual property" to spread? If you don't want it to spread, keep it secret, patent it, take it to your grave.
This allows attackers to bypass the card’s security delay mechanism after failed authentication attempts, enabling them to try approximately 2.5 passwords per second, significantly accelerating the time to crack passwords, especially weak ones. The vulnerabilities cannot be patched on existing cards because they’re not upgradable. Users are advised to use strong passwords (at least 8 characters with a mix of digits, letters, and symbols).
I don't like the Tangem thing. Blind signing, the firmware is not open source, and they support a ton of shitcoins. Not the ideal security model.
