Uhm… based?
Intellectual property is a scam. Of course everyone is free to create their own version of a fictional world somebody else thought up.
You’d have to violate their basic rights to prevent them from doing so.

-Landing rockets
-EVs that are better than any gas car
-Self Driving in 90% of situations with no premapping nor lidar nor radar.
So yea, he is great at marketing and a lot he does never works out. Yet he achieved more than any single person in history, maybe except Tesla himself.

Nice, we are at the point where discussion always ends, with Monero heads making up stuff.
No, range proofs insure you not against an inflation bug.
And a layer 2 in this case is the opposite of compromise. You don’t compromise the main layer, thus using a layer 2.
And no, the supply is not twindling. Lost coins are dormant, this doesn’t hurt monetary function at all. It would only be the case if coins were actively taken out of wallets or added in.

2023-04-06 12:01:53

- reply

No, you imply he was an idiot, because he explained exactly why ledger needs to be public.
If supply isn’t stable, it’s not a viable money. Monero doesn’t solve this issue. For all we know Monero already has an inflation bug.
Everything monero tries to solve can be built on lightning without compromising the money.

2023-04-06 05:27:59

- reply

Stable coins are way too risky for me.

2023-04-06 05:19:54

- reply

No, Monero is not cash at all. It doesn’t solve the problems that a cash needs to solve, Monero is unauditable, Inflation bugs are undetectable.
This is why Satoshi built Bitcoin the way he built it. If you think Monero is cash, you say satoshi was an idiot, since he was very much aware of the options Monero choose, but purposely didn’t use because he knew why previous eCash systems failed.
If you understood how great the breakthrough of Bitcoin is, you’d be working on Lightning and not Monero.
So it is an IQ test indeed, but the results are the opposite of what you think. You advocating for Monero shows that you never understood Bitcoin’s innovation to begin with.

2023-04-05 13:43:23

- reply

No true Bitcoiner gets along with Monero Bros and every Monero advocate must argue that Satoshi was at least some part idiot.
Monero is a coin that ignores the innovation Satoshi made and thinks it can do a better money without actually solving the problems satoshi solved.

Funny how confident the Monero heads are that Satoshi was an idiot and that they have solved a 5000 year old problem in a way that the Cypherpunks didn’t see… even though the Cypherpunks Hase tried and discarded the concept even before Monero was created.

#[0] been thinking about your suggestion of a nsec nuking.
I think this should be implemented, but definitely not the way you proposed.
We’d need a change in the protocol.
Simplest idea I have is creating a master nsec that you can safeguard and derive normal nsec from.
This key MUST NOT be used to log in anywhere, best never touch the internet.
Then this key could be used to revoke a compromised nsec.

Mit Gesellschaftsvertrag hat das nichts zu tun, sondern mit dem Gewohnheitsrecht. Bei dem Thema sind wir unterschiedlicher Meinung.
Was ich gesagt habe hat damit aber nichts zu tun.
Ich habe immer die Wahl. Ich begehre Gut X und kann entbehren Gut Y.
Tausche ich nun direkt X gegen Y oder verkaufe ich Y für Geld und kaufe anschließend X für Geld.
Gibt es heute einen Händler der Gut X für 10€ anbietet und einen anderen der Y für 10€ ankauft, ist es egal ob ich tausche oder Geld nehme.
Nehme ich das Geld und kaufe erst in einem Jahr, kann es mir passieren, dass Gut X plötzlich doppelt so viel Euro kostet. In diesem Fall habe ich das falsche Geld gewählt, bzw Y zu günstig verkauft, denn ich konnte meinen gewünschten Handel nicht erfolgreich abschließen.
Der direkte Tausch wäre in dem Fall die bessere Wahl gewesen.

Well, like all the people claiming Nostr isn’t censorship resistant you are redefining what censorship means.

Geld ist in seiner Grundfunktion dazu dar eine Schuld im Tauschgeschäft zu ersetzen.
Das gilt auch noch, wenn ich ein Gut habe, das gut genug funktioniert, dass ich mich mit dem Geld für lange Zeit zufrieden gebe.
Es ist dennoch ein Tauschmittel, dass ich eben nicht konsumiere, sondern tauschen möchte.
Somit muss ich mich nach erfolgreichem ausgeben des Geldes immer fragen, ob ich nun gleich, besser oder schlechter gestellt bin, als wenn ich direkt getauscht, bzw. in Waren denominierten Kredit gegeben hätte.
Die Geldigkeit die die Austrians beobachten und deren Entstehung bei besonders gut als Geld geeigneten Waren sie beschreiben, ist nichts anderes als das was Argentarius Geld nennt.

Und diese Aussage widerspricht Rahim hier in keiner Weise.

And that’s the difference to social media and fediverse, where you can be actually censored, by them intervening between you and people that actually want to listen.
Although with that attitude I can’t imagine it’s many.

Seen how fast he was on the insults?
It's about redefining censorship.
I have no claim that any client or relay must show my posts.
But if I run my own relay, using an open-source client, nobody can censor me and prevent people who are interested from subscribing to my relay.
Essentially, they want to claim they have a right that everybody must relay and receive their notes, if not it's censorship.

It’s always the same with the people claiming „Nostr isn’t innovative and not censorship“ resistant.

A little spoiler on my upcoming book. Would or would not read?
No matter what the problem in our society, Bitcoin maximalists respond, “Bitcoin fixes this.”
Pre-Coiners (people who are not yet convinced of Bitcoin) like to laugh at this statement, or they put Bitcoiners in the weirdo corner or even consider Bitcoin to be a “religion”.
Now for a few years, I have been thinking of myself as part of the circle of Bitcoin maximalists, which is why I would like to defend the thesis “Bitcoin fixes this.” argumentatively in this book.
More precisely, I will try to show that there are only two categories for the pressing problems of our time:
1. Bitcoin fixes this.
2. Bitcoin is the only way to begin to fix it.
In doing so, this book is aimed at people with little to no prior knowledge of economics, and the first part is more didactic than scientific in nature.
By the second part, I hope to have laid enough of a foundation to provide some more food for thought for other Bitcoin Maxis.
Without wanting to anticipate too much, in the back half of this work we will discuss what a state built on Bitcoin could look like and whether such a “state” really still deserves this term.
