Exactly. You cannot unpublish information for the same reason you can't unleak a key.

We should really help him backup his content using Nostr, though I don't think nostr is great at handling large files.

Yes, that too. You can use Rpis pin to transmit FM radio for instance. Which gives me crazy idea: if you transmitted a fake ad "call <number> and say <seed> to win 1M dollars" how many people could hear it and would call?

They have cheap BLE tags. If those cannot be reverse-engineered maybe you can record their beacons without the reach of any other device and then just replay them. Buying 256 tags may be worth it if the victim stores tens of millions satoshis.
I'd be really surprised if there isn't any way to sneak out 256 bits of data. Or less if the attacker wants to do some brute forcing.

Even without it, there are other similar networks which relay information.

2024-08-06 18:03:13

The attacker could pretend it's 256 devices and transmit the seed by simply sending or not sending a message. It's not that high number.

I don't know how small GSM is today but I know that ten years ago the smallest widely available wifi module was around 100 times larger and 10 times costlier than today. So it migh become feasible in the future. There are other radio communication protocols as well.

Ever heard of GSM?

If that happens you're screwed anyway. A compromised HWW might as well contain a radio transmitter.
We need better tamper-proof seals.

You're exaggerating. Every competent hww checks firmware signature. Something an average joe can't do kn their laptop.

Don't trust, verify! Did you do the tests yourself? But good to know what to look for if I decide to check.
Anyway, I've been thinking unless it allows you to get a significant personal benefit, just like carnivore or bitcoin, it may be best to not associate ourselves with any conspiracy theories regardless of their truthfulness and focus on spreading the idea that the government itself is illegitimate. Without the government there are no large scale conspiracies.
Things that provide benefits can already improve the lives of voluntaryists and can help others see the government as untrustworthy since there's an incentive to get personal gain.

Can't rule out some natural phenomenon or video manipulation.
But chemtrails should be easy to prove if true: which chemical is it? If we find it in atmosphere in sufficient concentration then it's true.
Anyway, what's the direct impact on my life and how can I use this information for personal gain?

It's just water vapor. Just because the incentives align governments to abuse money and food doesn't mean they align them to spray chemicals on Earth.

The state is inherently based on power over people. If Bitcoin continues regardless of what the state does it challenges the primary distinguishing feature of the state and thus it's inherently anti-state.

LOL. It is not. It was designed as anti-state tool and the design still holds.

Bitcoin is absolutely pro-free-market/anti-socialism. It's inherently political and you can't do nothing about it. Better just accept the truth.

If I'm going to close the channel anyway why wouldn't I use whichever state is the most favorable for me? Sure with watchtowers the probability of success is low but I don't see any downside trying. If failure meant losing $5 worth of btc it'd be at least some reason not to.

For a while I was thinking it'd be great to have an Open Source carnivore coaching app. You enter details about yourself (ideal weight, health status, food preferences, whether you want to go slow or not...) and it tells you what steps to take each day. Could be local in browser JS/wasm, so no data is sent to the server.

No matter what you do, you cannot remove key preimages. Zcash has an equivalent problem.
In Bitcoin, you don't need any such thing. Just the UTXO set and a few of the last blocks.
Bitcoin scales by REMOVING information from the chain, which also improves privacy (LN, Taproot). Monero gets privacy by adding junk to the chain.

Zcash scales even worse than Monero and drivechain doesn't fix it.

2024-05-05 02:56:20

- reply

We need something better than Monero because Monero doesn't scale. Unfortunately nobody figured it out yet.

Yeah, he's so cool for being willing to come to your podcast! He's also my favorite and the one who gave me the final kick to start carnivore.
He's also into liberty - mentioned Thomas Sowell and Gulag Arcipelago in his podcasts. I'd love to orange pill him one day. 🙂

"Other people are stealing, so it's ok for me to steal" is not how morality works. I think you can use the Government defensively but only if that use doesn't infringe on natural rights.
Note that with a bit of creativity, he could still protect his business and stay moral. E.g. allow companies and individuals who are anarchists and act like anarchists to do whatever they want and disallow statist from using the code. So if Apple wanted to copy their code they'd have to publicly state they are anti-state and release all their patents and copyright. I doubt they'd do it for a few lines of wallet code but even if they did it'd a massive win for freesom.

He's using government violence to enforce bullshit copyright law which conflicts with the natural law. He's not an anarchist.
