Rbf isn"t an insider attack on Bitcoin, carvalho is lying or hysterical.
Softfork now is a political not primarily a technical challenge
People like
hate it because ultimately it represents a loss of power
But it is what it is.
You want to change bitcoin, get ready to lobby and grit your teeth for years, and maybe still not get what you want.
I think we will get ctv or something like it when/if lightning opens become "expensive" (for some whatever value tbd)
But it will be like watching yellowish tannish brown, but not totally dead, grass, not growing, next few years
New plan to achieve carbon emissions safety targets: lock women up at home.
Just looking at the co2 generated by females utilizing urban transit, I think this plan could actually work!
"The Taliban has closed schools and universities to female students over the age of around 12. It also announced a set of wide-ranging morality laws this year that require women to cover their faces in public and restrict their travel outside the home without a male guardian."
"Each bitcoin transaction generates carbon emissions roughly equivalent to driving a gasoline-powered car between 1,600 and 2,600 kilometres"
Each word in the first 6 words, and especially the first 3 words, is going to be the subject of massive debate in coming years, and possibly an excuse to try to ban / nerf bitcoin.
Snark isn't enough, bitcoin folks should learn the ground truths and learn to fight with words.
It's not like they will have any choice.
When energy providers, police, military and defense contractors demand to be paid in bitcoin, gov will not consent to but be forced to go on a bitcoin standard. Because if they refuse, the other government that will pay the police and army in bitcoin, becomes the official government.
Believe that.
Who will review the conduct of the Code of Conduct committee?
I'm seeing the potential need for a Conduct of Code of Conduct Committee Committee.
UPDATE
UncleSamsClub turns out to just be a version upgrade to SamsRanch (3 weeks later).
SamsClub is sort of a mashup of blockchain explorer and facebook style interface linking bitcoin addresses to the suspected owner's social media (those owners who have not already registed with the Ranch).
There is a "report" button with a streamlined interface to share additional informatuon corroborating chainalysis ownership guesses, or clarifying which guess is corrrect when multiple potentiap coin owners are listed.
In the SamdRanch v2 "club" upgrade, reports are anonymous and there is no sharing of asset forfeiture rewards.
"This is nothing more than a streamlined version of anonymous tips to the local authoriites to help identify potential tax evaders, which has always been legal umder the constitution"
(Joint press release, AG and POTUS)
In related news Walmart owned retailer "Sams Club" promises no legal action for the near trademark clash and commits to a data sharing agreement with federal suthorities. "Catching tax evaders so America can go back to normal, is something we at Walmart fully agree with and commit to helping with to the full extent of our IT infrastructure capabilites."
A "club rewards" update is rumored to be coming soon, pendimg legislation or potential executive orders.
archive.org is single point of failure. What happens if archive.org starts changing their cached articles? We'd have no way of knowing. Even if other services cached it differently, which one is telling the truth?
the solution is functioning web of trust and signed articles.
it's going to be unpleasant next few years / decades.
My guess: much higher fees. Like $5k/ transaction.
Don't think of it like free insta settlement, think of it like a brinks truck transporting a 10mm in gold from nyc to san francisco to square accounts between banks.
Coffee n regular life transactions happen on lightning.
