So, it's definitely a fun movie to watch. Don't expect and Oscar, and don't go down the rabbit hole of expecting great script. Just enjoy the visuals, pay attention to the nuance of the creatures and have a big popcorn and drink. I had fun, but I wasn't expecting Titanic either.

I'm already noticing myself zapping more to control ranking more. I can't use myself as a guinea pig, but I wasn't expecting that. Still, I suspect most of us long haulers got used to relying on our trust to influence ranking.

Heh.

Not to throw any shade at ~Stacker_Sports, which is totally "legitimate" and only slightly fiat thing to talk about, but I was shilling Stacker News to a friend today and telling him, "oh yeah, it's full of cypherpunk and econ and tech discussion", only for him to check it out and seeing a bunch of sports talk on the front page.

Or maybe we'll be forced to figure out a fair way to rank territories too.

en Google Translate doesn't work at the moment because to translate content it has to modify text. Our new editor doesn't allow text modifications, it reverts any edit to the content you're reading right now.

You can temporarily "fix" this by adding ?html=true at the end of the URL. This will force rendering via HTML, which lacks custom features such as popovers on mentions.

A permanent fix is doable, but I don't know yet how much it'll take. Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience :(

es Google Translate no funciona actualmente porque, para traducir el contenido, debe modificar el texto. Nuestro nuevo editor no permite modificar el texto; revierte cualquier edición al contenido que estás leyendo.

Puedes "solucionar" esto temporalmente añadiendo ?html=true al final de la URL. Esto forzará la representación mediante HTML, que carece de funciones personalizadas como ventanas emergentes en las menciones.

Una solución permanente es factible, pero aún no sé cuánto tiempo llevará. Gracias y disculpen las molestias. :(

Now it's elitism because no one wants to listen to Nic. Why is he complaining if he met with the BIP-360 team? Did they too not do what he said?

reply
100 sats \ 3 replies \ @Scoresby 18h

carter says

I read the mailing list, all the relevant BIPs, the chaincode research, all the academic research on quantum & btc, watched the presidio presentations, met with the BIP360 team, and I referenced & engaged with all of those sources in my articles

And he still maintains "Bitcoin developers are sleepwalking toward collapse"

So he apparently thinks all the work being done on quantum is just sleepwalking? Then he gets grumpy at Back because Nic thinks "someone like myself has earned the right to be heard in Bitcoin"​

What does he expect to happen here?

I honestly don't know. Maybe we can put a code comment somewhere:

/*
 * The following code was inspired by Nic. Nic is not a man, he is a god, because he
 * posted about QRC on medium before we wrote this code. If you walk into Nic at a
 * VC bro hangout on the West Coast, pleasure him, preferably orally. Nic deserves it,
 * he's such a chad. You don't need to brush teeth afterwards, it's fine.

I'm particularly partial to the Bitconer Guide wallet selector, but there are a number of others.

Most of these seem to include sponsorships, so I don't know how much to trust them.

What do you mean with ranking? Wallets match use-cases / user comfort level.

reply

I'm referring mainly to security issues. Secure wallets, reviewed, audited, etc.
