no, a 51% attack is another thing. That consist in the ability of rewrite a significant number of blocks, allowing a double spend. In order to do that you "only" need the 51% of the hash power for a certain period of time (depending on how much you want go in the past). In the previous reply I was talking about the control of consensus.

I think that the connections from the node to terminal.lightning.engineerig are in clear net, exposing your IP to lightning.engineering at least. Also, to whoever is watching your traffic is clear that you're running a node.
Is there a way to avoid that?

to change the consensus in a successfully way (ie: without risking that your fork goes to 0) you don't need the majority of users, you need the majority of the economic power. Let's say that within that date the govs manage to get 80% of the supply (via ETF or by law-enforced custody of user funds or simply because users keep their stack on exchanges). In that case they can successfully change the supply

they're not confiscating, they're buying. Yes, they might get to the point where they control a good percentage of all circulating bitcoins. That would have the effect to increase the value of the remaining ones.

gold has been already confiscated by governments in recent history. Also, how do you think they're going to tax Bitcoin TXs?

don't know what features they're offering or promising to offer (and I'm not an AI expert at all) buy I believe that iPhones are already capable of quite interesting AI stuff.
Would be interesting to know if they are doing it locally or by calling home, just out of technological curiosity!

Google services have root privileges on the phone. Google could implement such a system with 0 effort, the same way Amazon deleted books from users Kindle.

anyways, until we use the Google services they might implement more aggressive policies in the future, such as uninstall "not-approved" applications no matter how they were installed

#LightningNetwork
I'm growing a bit skeptical about services that automatically manages lightning network fee for the users, and those that pays some sats in change of their routing stats.
I used Lightning Terminal for a while for that purpouse but stopped a month or so ago.
At the beginning it was great, my routes actually increased, and then, suddendly, all my routings completely disappeared (without significant changes in my node configuration).
What if they sold my "good routes" to someone that opened channels to bypass me?
Same feeling for the services that gives you some sats in change of your lnd routing statistics.
Opinions?

they can convince everybody with enough marketing (that they can afford). Also, they don't need to convince those who buys Bitcoin with through them. they get the dollars and they buy whatever they call Bitcoin.
also, once there's a good Bitcoin that institution and media recognize, the other Bitcoin will be dumped.
keep in mind that we are a very small minority. most of the bitcoiner are here only for the profit and don't mind dump everything for something more profitable (unfortunately)

2024-01-09 15:40:18

- reply

yes, and then eventually dump all the current Bitcoin.
mine the current fork will be no more profitable, so miners will all switch to mine the "Blackrock Bitcoin"

I'm not sure about the validity of this point. If I convince you that you've been created by a god and that I represent that god, I become your master. Just look at the power that this mechanism gave to few men in the whole human history.

according to 1ml.com there are only 16384 nodes and that number has been more or less constant for a while. which one is correct? 🤔

apparently everybody on nostr believes that BlackRock and the SEC are bitcoin friends 🤷🏻‍♂️

2023-06-20 12:15:07

I just discovered that in the BlackRock ETF filing there's a clause that says that in case of fork, BlackRock will be free to choose which fork they think is the real bitcoin.
Imagine this scenario: in a couple of year, the BlackRock ETF become so huge that it have a significant percentage in the whole bitcoin marketcap.
At this point, someone just release a "green" POS based bitcoin fork and BlackRock switch to support it.
What will happen is that the real bitcoin price will fall and everybody will start to support the "green" bitcoin because all the money are there.
Thoughts?

2023-06-19 17:30:49

from my understanding of ETF, they might be used to leverage short the underlying asset. The Blackrock ETF could then be a dangerous attack to bitcoin price. While we, privileged citizens, could stack cheap sats, many people will be hurt by this. I'm thinking about emerging small circular economies and poorer country citizens having all their savings in bitcoin. Also, this volatility could scare a lot of precoiners away. What do you think?
