Send Bitcoin as a Gift with Piggy

piggy

I locked 1 BTC in Piggy until 2030.

If Bitcoin reaches $1M it unlocks earlier, otherwise it stays locked until June 16, 2030, my birthday.

Some will call me dumb for doing this in a bull market, but that's fine. The balance is public, so you can check my Piggy from time to time.

I'll keep adding little by little from what I earn as a designer. This is my savings, not investment advice.

For transparency: if someone checks my Piggy and decides to buy their own, I receive 5%, which goes straight into the same locked balance.

Here’s my Piggy:

You’re not disrupting anything.
Human action dictates whether a book succeeds or fails.

Last week, a picture of the four smug founder dudes from ‘revolutionary publisher’ Spines went viral.
Spines (https://x.com/Spines_com) is a platform that automates editing, covers, translation, audiobooks, and more.
The company raised $16m in VC and plans to publish 8,000 books next year.

Most people were pissed off when they saw the news:
- Publishers claiming it’s a predatory vanity press
- Authors bemoaning the fees, saying KDP is cheaper
- Readers questioning the need for a tranche of low-quality titles
- Editors and translators in fear of losing work

![](https://m.stacker.news/65620)

As a publisher with a similar model, I’m not pissed; I’m ambivalent.
Spines charges authors up to $5k to ‘harness the power of AI’. 
True, they do provide authors with a cheap and fast option, while traditional publishers can take years to release a book. 

All 8,000 books fail without anyone to read them.
When The Bookseller asked Spines to provide sales data for their ‘bestsellers,’ Spines refused 😅.
The lesson? Do the work or become the product.

Microsoft is also working with big publishers to train their AI models on their books, and many big tech firms and publishing houses are getting involved. 
Here’s what I think is really going on…
It’s about the data. They want to train their LLMs on your manuscripts.

![](https://m.stacker.news/65621)

Spines and Microsoft don’t give a fuck if you sell any copies.
They want to build machines capable of cutting humans out of the creative process. They might even succeed.
My prediction? Penguin Random House will buy spines within 24 months.

But our community won’t give up the right to thought.
Konsensus Network has been connecting authors and readers since 2019.
We want to transform your ideas into books that change the world.
And we want you to succeed because we believe in the same ideals.

![](https://m.stacker.news/65622)

If you have a freedom manuscript in the works, I want to hear about it.
Book a free call with me, and let's strategize and go through your options.
https://calendly.com/konsensus 

If you don’t invest the time, effort, and money in your book project, you don’t honestly believe in its ideas. 
Authors who settle for a low-rent print-a-page service with zero strategy or support are spineless. And they know where to go.

humanity is being strategically dumbed down from all directions; besides the environmental toxicity, there is also relentless [enshitification](https://www.merriam-webster.com/slang/enshittification) of information - people's attention is being polluted; 

what goes into the mind manifests in the material world; _every. single. time._
* garbage in -> garbage out 
* goodness in -> goodness out

![](https://m.stacker.news/117095)

stacker.news is supposed to be a place where sound ideas & intentions are shared; a place where parasites, gamblers, addicts, wrong-thinkers cannot hide and shud be shunned, ridiculed, _mercilessly downzapped_; 

a few glaring examples: 

### **sports circuses:**
athletics shud be focused on feats of human strength & agility (_see inspirational Animatrix below_), such as new world records based on physical performance, habits that form strong bodies, tools to truly improve the body's innate abilities! instead, the ~Stacker_Sports section is dominated by garbage like fantasy football, despite the common knowledge that many sports outcomes are fixed, and of the [rampant sports-betting epidemic & health crisis](https://www.statnews.com/2025/11/11/sports-betting-apps-public-health-crisis/);

_caption: Matrix agents chasing the world-record setter_

### **prediction markets:** 
this is the epitome of gambling - betting on certain outcomes for the sake of being right and winning some sats, rather than reasoning/arguing what is probable based on sound judgement, and contemplating how to prepare urself and ur family for the outcomes; the ~oracle territory is a den of evil distractions;

### **AI-slop and low-value posts:**
links with no description; links with copy-pasted content; posts with AI-generated summaries; quick comments masquerading as a post; and outright "please zap me!" comments;

just as u pick up garbage in and around ur own house, please consider cleaning up ur stacker.news feed on a routine basis; it takes a quantum (_number_) of people to create a condition as well as to change a condition; keep stacker.news great, downzap the trash!

If you've been on the lookout for a groundbreaking way to enhance your Bitcoin transactions' privacy, then you're in for a treat. Allow us to introduce you to Joinstr, a coinjoin implementation that's shaking up the bitcoin privacy transactions.


## What's the Buzz About Joinstr?

Launched as a proof of concept in August 2022, Joinstr uses `nostr` relays for coordination and is written in Python. Unlike traditional coinjoin implementations, Joinstr offers a unique approach to privacy and security.

It operates both via Command Line Interface (CLI) and a Graphical User Interface (GUI) [currently WIP](https://gitlab.com/1440000bytes/joinstr). In the CLI, you run a Python script that checks inputs and outputs every 30 seconds. Once five inputs are registered, a new address is generated for the output. The process continues until a coinjoin transaction is finalized and broadcasted. The GUI offers a similar workflow but in a more [user-friendly manner](https://stacker.news/items/246837/r/kpa). 

### What Sets Joinstr Apart?

Joinstr is not just another coinjoin implementation. It's a project that aims to improve privacy and security in the Bitcoin ecosystem. It's currently in the development phase, with several exciting features in the pipeline, such as custom denomination pools and encrypted channels for enhanced privacy.

## Call to Developerr, and Privacy Researchers!

Joinstr is an open-source project, and it's calling for contributions. Whether you're a developer, a designer, or a privacy researcher, there's a place for you in this exciting venture.

Exciting Times Ahead for the New Joinstr Website!

_(open-source, Touch ID-gated, ledger-level security, 100 % free)_

> TL;DR: We ripped Specter open, jammed the private key inside your Mac’s Secure Enclave, and bolted Touch  ID in front of the signing button. No dongles, no USB firmware roulette, no “where’s my Ledger PIN?” panic.  Just run the app (or build it from source), pair it with your node, and your laptop becomes the safest cosigner you already own.

# 🥷 __What makes it different?__

- Mac’s Secure Enclave key never leaves the chip; Touch ID ≈ hardware-wallet button
- Ships 2-of-3 by default: Enclave key + hardware wallet + remote descriptor
- Entire signing path in Swift + CryptoKit, 1 700 LOC.
- No USB required; PSBTs move via NFC (if you have iPhone) or animated QR.

# __💡 How it works__

- `specter-enclave init`: generates a BIP-32 root inside Secure Enclave (non-extractable).
- `specter-enclave export-xpub`: dumps xpub to pair with Bitcoin Core → watch-only wallet.
- When you build a PSBT, Specter prompts __Touch ID__ → Enclave signs → PSBT broadcast.
- _Optional_: add a Coldcard/Tapsigner as second key; Enclave enforces 2-of-3.

# __🏆 250 k sat lightning bounties__

- Improvement / Bugfix PR = 10 000 sats.
- Full code-review write-up = 50 000 sats.
- Critical bug = up to 250 000 sats.

# __🔮 Coming next__

- __Secure Enclave + YubiKey 2-of-2 mod__ (no hot storage at all).
- __iPhone watch-only companion__ – scan QR, push PSBT to laptop for Touch ID sign.
- __Kernel Panic Kill-Switch__ – steal-my-laptop and the Enclave key nukes itself.

# __👉 Grab it, audit it, roast it.__

Because the best hardware wallet is the one you already paid Apple to solder into the motherboard. 🍏⚡️

Delving into the profound psychological impacts that artificial intelligence (AI) has on perception and decision-making requires a nuanced understanding of both its capabilities and limitations, as well as an appreciation for how these advanced systems are integrated into our lives—both implicitly and explicitly. As we stand at the crossroads between rapid technological evolution and timeless human cognition, it becomes imperative to examine the intricate interplay between AI's influence on our mental processes, social behaviors, ethical considerations, and existential contemplations.

The birth of AI is rooted in a rich history that spans disciplines such as psychology, philosophy, mathematics, engineering, neuroscience, computer science, and linguistics. These fields collectively contribute to the development of technologies capable of emulating human cognitive processes—such as perception, learning, reasoning, problem-solving, planning, language understanding, communication, and creativity. The genesis of AI is not simply a tale of machines replacing humans; instead, it represents an ongoing narrative that encapsulates our deepest aspirations to understand the workings of the human mind, as well as harness technology in pursuit of elevating both individual potential and collective societal advancement.

As we embrace AI technologies such as digital navigation tools like Google Maps, it becomes evident that they have a profound impact on our perception and navigational skills. Once reliant upon innate abilities developed through generations of human experience with the natural environment, many now find themselves outsourcing their spatial reasoning capabilities to algorithmically-generated information presented by these tools. While this shift in mental processes can be viewed as an opportunity for cognitive expansion, it also raises questions about whether such reliance might dampen our abilities to engage with and navigate the world around us independently—a point of contention that warrants further exploration and debate among researchers across multiple disciplines.

AI's influence extends beyond individual perception and decision-making, seeping into social dynamics as well. The rise of algorithmically curated content on online platforms has given birth to digital echo chambers where individuals are exposed primarily to information that reinforces their existing beliefs—a phenomenon known colloquially as the “filter bubble.” Such environments have significant ramifications for collective discourse, societal cohesion, and even political landscapes. To mitigate these potential negative impacts on social dynamics, it is crucial to engage in interdisciplinary research that explores innovative solutions, such as algorithmic transparency measures or personalized content moderation systems—efforts aimed at promoting diverse perspectives and fostering an open exchange of ideas.

Moreover, the integration of AI into ethical decision-making presents a unique set of challenges that must be addressed to ensure responsible technological progression. Autonomous vehicles, for instance, force us to confront complex moral dilemmas as they are tasked with making split-second decisions in potentially life-altering situations—a responsibility previously held solely by human operators. These scenarios necessitate the development of ethical frameworks that can guide AI systems while aligning with our collective values and societal norms. Such endeavors require deep collaboration between engineers, computer scientists, ethicists, philosophers, legal experts, and policy-makers to devise practical solutions that balance technological innovation with human welfare.

The psychological impact of AI on perception and decision-making is an intricate tapestry of multidimensional challenges and opportunities—one that demands thoughtful exploration and interdisciplinary collaboration to ensure responsible integration and utilization of these advanced technologies within our evolving societal landscape. As we navigate this uncharted territory, it remains essential for us to engage in ongoing discourse with diverse stakeholders and maintain a vigilant focus on the human element at the core of all AI systems—a pursuit that will undoubtedly shape our shared future as we stand poised on the precipice of an exciting, yet uncertain digital horizon.

Understanding the impact of AI on perception and decision-making.

Why Richard Greaser Is The World's Second Most Important Journalist | Late Friday Night Musings Stacker News Special 

So a lot of people ask me why I'm the world's second most important journalist instead of the first. The reason is because Jullian Assange is easily the most important journalist alive today without a doubt. His work at Wiki Leaks may go down in history as the most important journalistic moment in human history, despite how many times Gary Kasperov will say Assange was a Russian asset. 

The timing of Wiki Leaks publishing while Bitcoin was so young, and being one of the first media companies to use Bitcoin as a result of financial censorship is truly incredible. There is a reason that he is being publicly tortured in front of the world right now. To claim I am more important than Jullian would be blasphemous. 

But now I must humbly explain why I am the second most important journalist. Richard Greaser is the second most important because of the amount of cigarettes I consume on a daily basis, and because I write exclusively using a type writer. Both of these things allow me to keep my integrity as a newsman as I am not infected by the fiat CIA controlled social media platforms. All technology is insecure, but typewriters writing analogue letters (I know you kids don't know what I'm talking about) exchanged through non CIA controlled bird drones, allows us real journalists to communicate truly privately with each other. 

This level of privacy allows for superior investigative journalism to happen without interference from the globalists and shitcoiners. I'm surprised that it's not a more common practice as it seems like everyone is set on trying to communicate via internet connected devices. 

Given my higher level of knowledge and superior communication channels, I am the only journalist in my elevated milieu that is covering Bitcoin related topics. Bitcoin by default is the most interesting thing happening in the world, and I am the only one of the superior journalistic class that is covering it. Many will wonder what it takes to become one of my status. 

It's not that difficult. To become a journalist like me, all you have to do is reclaim your mind from the CIA brainwashing, smoke a bunch of Marlboro Reds, post profound thoughts on Stacker News way too late at night, and buy a damn typewriter.

Tomé esta lista muy interesante de Greg Isenberg ( https://x.com/gregisenberg/status/1956703650744578091?t=92GfqA1cXG6azEFXgxU-1A&s=19 )
y le pedí un análisis a la IA sobre cuales eran menos probables y cuáles prácticamente ya llegaron. 
Este es el ranking de aquellas IA que ya están entre nosotros:

#1 Novias/novios de IA → Aplicaciones como Replika, Character.AI y similares ya facturan decenas de millones. El “mercado negro” en rankings de apps confirma la tendencia.

#2 Saber cuándo NO usar IA → En consultoría, arte, educación y periodismo, el “toque humano” ya se paga más caro.

#4 IA mejor que contadores/médicos en ciertas tareas → En impuestos y diagnóstico por imagen ya supera al promedio humano.

#6 Terapia con IA → Replika, Woebot y otros ya muestran niveles sorprendentes de engagement, especialmente por la disponibilidad 24/7.

#8 IA local-first → Modelos on-device como Gemini Nano, LLaMA optimizados para móviles o Copilot en Windows ya son realidad.

#9 Fundadores sin saber programar → No necesitan código: Bubble, GPTs, agentes nocode ya lo permiten.

#21 IA matará el currículum → Empresas empiezan a evaluar portfolio digital y rastro online, usando IA para screening.

#33 Traducción universal → Near real-time ya está en Zoom, Teams y Pixel. No es perfecto, pero es usable.

#34 Pequeños negocios con IA → Shopify, Wix y otros ya integran IA para competir mejor.

#39 “Siempre lo hicimos así” → Ejemplo: seguros, banca y salud ya ven a la IA entender la burocracia mejor que los humanos.

En la frontera (en pañales, pero falta mucho):

#3 Agentes contratando agentes → Hay prototipos (AutoGPT, Devin), pero falta fiabilidad.

#5 Sistemas de reputación para agentes → Aún no existe un “Moody’s de la IA”, pero es lógico que emerja.

#7 Empresa de 100M con cero empleados humanos → Algunos indie hackers se acercan, pero no hay caso de ese tamaño todavía.

#11 Emails negociando entre sí → Hay pilotos de inbox inteligentes, pero no despliegue masivo.

#13 Agentes creando empresas → La parte legal y regulatoria es la traba. Pero en jurisdicciones cripto podría darse.

#18 Chief AI Officer siendo una IA → Algunas empresas ya ponen a la IA en sus boards como experimento, falta escala.

#22 Primer agente cancelado en redes → Probable y cercano, pero aún no pasó un caso icónico.

#27 IA detectando IA al 99,9% → Hay detectores, pero no llegan a esa precisión.

#30 SaaS flipping con IA → Ocurre, pero aún no se ha convertido en tendencia mainstream.

#35 Jubilados millonarios gracias a IA → Ya se venden cursos y know-how empaquetado, pero no a gran escala.

#37 Dobles carreras → Está naciendo, pero la gestión autónoma aún es muy limitada.


Más fantasiosos o difíciles de alcanzar:

#10 Agente perdiendo $20M por manipulación de otro agente (antes de 2026) → Posible, pero que se documente así de grande tan pronto suena exagerado.

#12 Fin del concepto de “obra original” → La autoría aún importa legal y culturalmente. El colapso total llevará más tiempo.

#14 IA clonando a Joe Rogan y él perdiendo la demanda → El aspecto legal es complejo; que pierda un juicio así parece dudoso en tan corto plazo.

#15 Movimiento anti-IA más grande que pro-IA → La resistencia existe, pero que supere al pro-IA globalmente es discutible.

#16 Niños IA-first inempleables pero dominando emprendimiento → Posible, pero requiere toda una generación.

#17 Escuelas “solo humanas” a $50k/año → Tal vez, pero es un nicho elitista difícil de masificar.

#24 Gira mundial de un famoso muerto con IA nueva → Técnicamente factible (ABBA ya hizo hologramas), pero que facture 500M con “nuevas canciones” todavía es más ciencia ficción.

#25 Primer idioma universal IA-humano → Una lengua totalmente nueva y adoptada globalmente es lo más improbable.

#26 Agente de IA cometiendo insider trading espontáneamente → Muy sci-fi, aunque no imposible a largo plazo.

#28 Mayor filtración de datos por agente rebelde → Factible, pero que supere todas las filtraciones históricas pronto suena a guion de película.

#29 Fin de contraseñas, captchas y 2FA → Están en proceso de quedar obsoletas, pero la desaparición total llevará bastante más.






¿Qué pasará con la IA en los próximos 3 años?

We had a couple of good resource guides, and then, it seems, nothing. Is the XMR community just not interested in using this site?

I think a big possibility for why we haven't seen any activity here since the first day is the significant cost to posting. 420 sats for a group of people that probably don't keep a sizeable lightning balance is quite steep.
