IMO Whonix has better anonymity tools, so if you seek extreme anonymity for your activity, the better choice may be to dedicate a Whonix laptop to that activity, and exclusively use that laptop for that activity.

Qubes is good for using one computer to satisfy multiple threat profiles. E.g. if you want to shitpost on Facebook, visit shady websites, and ghostwriting for a controversial magazine _all without linking those three activities_, then Qubes is the OS for you.
If you want to dedicate one laptop to a very specific anonymous activity (e.g. being a ghostwriter for a controversial magazine) _and nothing else_, Whonix is the OS for you.

Tell me more about this. I cannot seem to even start orbot if another VPN is running. So apps that have proxy settings still can't use it.
Are you able to set up another TOR proxy that doesn't occupy the VPN slot?

Well, I meant making direct client to client connections via onion addresses, similar to cwtch, but I realize now, that would bring on all the other challenges of serverless chat (I.e. messages can only be delivered when all parties are online). So... just ignore me 😅

Anyone on #android know how to set Orbit to TOR route traffic for a few apps, then a VPN service for all other traffic?
I prefer to use TOR when possible, but it breaks some services, so I can't use it for all the traffic on my phone. When I'm not using TOR, I need to use a VPN, because sharing my real IP address with the world is just dumb. On #linux this is easy. On Android, I'm not sure if/how this can be done.

If you have sats in WoS, you don't have sats. You have WoS IOUs under WoS's monetary policy

WoS IS a bank. You create an account with them, they hold your money with no way for you to recover it if they fail, they send/receive money in their private inernal ledger as much as possible, they can fractionally reserve the money they account for, they report to regulatory authorities, and can censor users and/or freeze their money.
Yes, WoS is a bank.

e.g. what happens when Apple says 'xyz feature isn't allowed'? Does the PWA feature set get reduced to what Apple allows? Or does the PWA have its own extra features that the native app doesn't, effectively creating two different versions of your product?

True. I'm just curious what the draw is. Why spend your time on a native app? I forsee several complications (two different platforms means two different UX's, categories of bugs, customer service issues, etc), but no obvious benefit.

@npub1gcx…nj5z there are weird text input bugs that've existed in #amethyst for a long time, but it manifests in different ways every time. I'll list a few below:
Any time I type a colon after a word and hit enter, amethyst duplicates the word again on a new line. e.g. trying to type 'hello world:' results in:
'hello world:
world:'
Also, any time I try to type L1, the text is immediately substituted for L1L. This one is particularly weird, because it doesn't behave like any other text substitution/correction in other apps.
My notes are littered with typo's from these bugs, and although my mind is getting better at detecting and fixing them, they're surprisingly annoying, lol. I'm curious if anyone's reported this?
I'm on a Pixel 7, running Graphene OS.
(P.S. typing examples of these typos was incredibly difficult, because Amethyst kept text subsituting from underneath me 😅)

@npub1az9…m8y8 I love the OpenDime. Recently #satscard has been pushed as a superior version of OpenDime, and in many ways I agree, but there is one crucial feature of the OpenDime I'd love if you could find a way to being to the cold card: physical unlock only.
With SatsCard I still have to trust my phone/laptop software not to leak my unlock PIN. I know this may sound silly, but having to physically punch out a resistor makes it so I NEVER trust any software outside of the OpenDime firmware.
I'm an EE & smartcard dev, so I know this is a tall order, but do you think you could get a card vendor to produce a card with a hole punch spot like the OpenDime? Depending your vendor, this is possible, but it probably requires a large purchase commitment.
Also.... opensourcing the applet would be hugely appreciated for those of us who like to audit every possible level of our coin control stack.

Well in this scenario, miners have decided to steal from the 'shitcoin' sidechain to make room for a 'good' sidechain. The 'shitcoin' ledger would become valueless, and shitcoin holders would be out of pocket.
That is the point though. If a vanity/shitcoin takes one of the drivechain slots, it risks getting evicted and liquidated by Bitcoin, if miners (and indirectly the users) have decided the shitcoin didn't deserve that space. So, sidechains must necessarily be 'good' for Bitcoin, or the sidechain will be sent packing.
Want to start a side chain? Think long and hard about how it will synergize with Bitcoin. Put your idea into public and make sure it gets broad community support (e.g. BIP) before trying to deploy it. If you do those things, you'll have a good idea if Bitcoin will evict+liquidate your sidechain or not.

2023-09-10 00:43:57

- reply

Wouldn't that similarly nuke the entire notion of sidechains? If miners fucked around with L1 and chose to reorg blocks to favor a cartel of miners, then it would destroy everyone's faith in Bitcoin and people wouldn't use it.
If miners did the same to DCs, then it would destroy everyone's faith in DCs and people wouldn't use them. Bitcoin would remain unscathed.
Ofc, in either case, that's not the economically rational decision, so game theory says economically rational miners wouldn't do that.

But what even is a Kanye west drivechain in your mind? Any drivechain would still be BTC (trustless asynchronous 1:1). Are you just afraid of people calling their Bitcoin KanyeCoin or something?

2023-09-09 20:12:37

- reply

I don't know. Depends if miners and users see that drivechain as valuable to the Bitcoin ecosystem (as with any other transaction or block). Majority miners can choose not to confirm and block or transaction they wish, regardless of drivechains. Majority node operators can refuse to relay any block or TX they wish, regardless of drivechains.
Would the network accept a Kanye drivechain? Idk. If it was economically popular (in terms of BTC hashrate and volume) then it could exist. If it was harmful to Bitcoin, I doubt people would fight for its continued existence, but I don't have a crystal ball.
