damn, well done

This ironic situation is something I’ve been thinking a bit about.
I can sum up my thoughts like this:
- I want freedom
- A few evil people want to limit my freedom in evil ways
- Some good people want freedom for themselves too and are thus willing to join a coalition for freedom to stand against the freedom limiters
- The majority of people don’t care about freedom very much
It seems today the freedom limiters have managed to manipulate the indifferent majority into supporting them and, consequently, are winning. The freedom lover coalition has not been as manipulative (probably out of a misplaced desire to appear congruent). That’s probably why we’re loosing and, like you said, we will have to start influencing the indifferent majority if we want to win.

Sunburn is caused by high energy light destabilizing electrons in the molecules in your cells. Some molecules will become free radicals when hit by uv light. The polyunsaturated fatty acids that make up seed oils are one of these kinds of molecules. The double bonds between carbon atoms in the unsaturated fatty acid will turn into free radicals when exposed to the right frequency of light. Saturated fats do not have double bonds that can be affected this way.
It’s important to note that the body preferentially uses saturated fats when it burns fat, so once you stop eating polyunsaturated fat it’ll take a few years before it’s safe to go out and get a ton of sun.

cool. thanks for the discussion

2023-06-13 04:30:40

- reply

ok, I think I finally understand your concerns. I agree a huge asp would be a risk.
Big custodians are also a big risk but the centralizing network effects for custodians might be less strong than for asps.
If I wanted ecash like privacy though, I’d rather put some spending money in a medium sized ark than in a fedimint though.

2023-06-13 04:20:46

- reply

I disagree, bur if you really think that you should be even more critical of fedi. Custodial wallets are much worse for “getting out”.

2023-06-13 04:19:03

- reply

Oh, you mean if the blocks are full because everyone wants to withdraw at the same time!
Yeah that’s definitely a risk. I guess you’d want to increase the time lock when the number of people in the ark gets large.

2023-06-13 04:14:28

- reply

It’s their money, if they want to lock it would be nice if they also made a noncustodial ecash style layer two while they’re at it.
I think large bitcoin hodlers like the eos foundation and gbtc are a much bigger systemic risks.

2023-06-13 04:11:16

- reply

That’s right. There’s no way to steal from you unless you somehow are unable to go online to publish your unilateral redeem transaction.
Of course, in some nightmare scenario where the asp is also 51% of the hashrate, they can steal (by censoring your redeem transaction). This is also true in lightning though, if your channel counterparty happens to also have 51% of the hashrate.

2023-06-13 04:06:57

- reply

Can you tell me what you think the systemic risk is?

2023-06-13 04:03:23

- reply

I really think you should read Reuben’s gist again.
While the asp behaves well you just come online to refresh unpublished transactions (just like lightning). Whenever you want (with or without the asp’s cooperation) you can leave ark and get a normal onchain utxo.
If you’re not going to be able to come online for some time you can withdraw onchain then go back in whenever you want.

2023-06-13 03:58:59

- reply

I understand, there are tradeoffs. Lightning is better for some things and ark is better for others.

2023-06-13 03:57:36

- reply

the requirement is that the user be online every 4 weeks not that the asp is also online

2023-06-13 03:56:50

- reply

There is no exit scam, if the asp doesn’t cooperate users can withdraw unilaterally

2023-06-13 03:55:59

- reply

Yes. Also similar to lightning in that it requires that the asp have liquidity. But once it does, it can support a ton of private transactions between ark users with a relatively tiny onchain footprint and interop with lightning in the same way as fedimint.

2023-06-13 03:51:27

- reply

Oh, yes I was assuming the user would be able to do this. But yeah, in that way it’s similar to lightning. But still very much non-custodial

2023-06-13 03:39:36

- reply

tldr: the ASP can’t steal, in the worst case, the miners can make a lot in fees

2023-06-13 03:37:38

- reply

Read Reuben’s write up: https://gist.github.com/RubenSomsen/a394beb1dea9e47e981216768e007454

2023-06-13 03:35:36

- reply

If some people trust the ASP, they can compete to charge a nominal fee to swap vtxos that will take a long time to withdraw for unencumbered onchain utxos

2023-06-13 03:33:43

- reply

Isn’t it obvious? the federation is custodial. They can just immediately steal your Bitcoin. The Ark service provider can’t (though withdrawing may be complicated lol)

2023-06-13 03:31:39

- reply

If you’re lucky enough to live through a disaster scenario Ark >> Fedi (at least as far as withdrawing is concerned).

2023-06-13 03:29:20

Better than Fedi: “In a disaster scenario you never withdraw”

Just trying to help friend. Trade your Bitcoin for monero or “Pirate coin” if u want. I’m sure the scammers will be happy to get a bit more bitcoin. Meanwhile Bitcoin privacy can keep improving

Fair enough, but you said the government already controlled Bitcoin. That is patently false since it’s perfectly legal to sell commodities for cash peer to peer.

2023-06-11 03:44:04

The government outlaws many things. That says nothing about how much it can control them. So again, your initial statement that the government controls Bitcoin was a lie.

2023-06-10 17:54:41

Then your previous statement was false: neither of those things mean the government controls Bitcoin.
Also, the second statement here is false too. I get paid in Bitcoin and monthly I convert many thousands to cash without identifying myself. Look up robosats and bisq.

I think it was Marcus Aurelius who said “only violate the Law to seize power, in all other circumstances, follow it assiduously”
It’s ok to threaten those in power if it is part of your plan to seize power, but otherwise, this is great advice.

Not at all. I think it’s good that relay operators can delete anything they want. After all, it’s their computer.
I’m just saying that we should see these campaigns to implement “moderation” and “deletion requests” and the like for what they are: engineering to benefit the state. I wont be working on that stuff unless I’m forced to by threats of state violence.
You should be suspicious of anyone that is.

2023-05-28 17:26:25

- reply

This is a bad opinion for at least three reasons (probably more):
The state can and will make anything that threatens them illegal. Encryption was illegal for years.
Relay operators can always delete anything they want.
“not allow people to delete” is usually just a sneaky way of saying “force relay operators to delete”. you should look into the history of a tool called tls notary (or maybe ssl notary?) if you want an example of why I am skeptical of this kind of argument
