It's not a matter of bitcoin, gold, wine or whatever. It's a matter of:
- I don't know how to spend it in my every day life (aka no merchants IRL accept it)
- even proxy companies (bitrefill etc) do not accept it
- it's terribly difficult to swap it for other coins
- it's terribly difficult to swap it for fiat (which I'm not interested in but still relevant)
Yes, I can pay the VPN and some VPS hosting in shidy farms, but that's not something that could justify me storing a constant amount of wealth in it.
Money is such if it is liquid (among other things), not if it's banned or not. Good money can be banned or not, bad money can be banned or not...the matter is that it would find its role in the economic system if that's the tool people want.
As of now, it is not...and it is as such since its inception.

So if you use cake with their nodes you lose the privacy you're assuming you gained with Monero. Am I wrong?
Cake does a ton of API calls to external services so I assume you deactivated all these options (that are ON by default).
With regards to LN on monero, I don't know really well the tech behind monero. I think that all the altcoins (excluded Litecoin) are living off the idea that "LN does not work, so we are not going to use it"...I don't think it would be a good marketing idea to do LN on the altcoins, because that means surrending to the obvious fact that LN is a good idea and scaling a global consensus blockchain is not. I don't think all of you (as a community) are willing to admit it.

Thanks for the refs. I'm going through somw materials that you monero-ers linked to me since few days ago and I have to admit that I like the adversarial thinking you carry on.
Other than that, I'm not sold the idea of a global consensus blockchain scaling globally...honestly that sounds very naive.
As a side question: do you run a Monero full archival node?

The fella is a Phd in Computer Vision at MIT, which means that it's reasonable to assume that he knows pretty well the field of Computer Vision, which is a subset of the broader universe of Machine Learning.
Leaving aside my assumptions for a moment, the guy happens to have tens of peer reviewed papers and articles ranging from deep reinforcement learning to AI explainability. I never said that he knows to press buttons in a pythonic way (even though I assume he definitely can).
Preferences are a different matter, I respect yours.
I jumped in there only to point out my view about his work and how he approaches his interviews.
Since I was asked to report where and if the guy is competent on the matter of ML, I simply provided some references.

2024-07-24 16:05:34

- reply

I mean...you can just google on Google Scholar and you'll find tens of papers authored by him.
Here for example is a query with basic filtering with his name: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=wZH_N7cAAAAJ&hl=en
Moreover, in this website you can find direct links also to lessons he did when he was instructor at MIT (that are hosted on the Deep Learning material repository of MIT).
Here is the link: https://deeplearning.mit.edu/
I honestly can't point to precise timestamps, I clearly recall the interview with Van Rossum (inventor of Python) as a good one, the one with the creator of Mojo. the interviews with Musk clearly show that he knows the stuff.
I'm not in the position to judge his writings, his lectures and his skills in deep because I'm not a PhD in Computer Vision, so I stand only on some of his stuff about RL that I've seen as a testimony of his competence. Surely there are a lot of KPIs to address competence but I'm not aware of them...I know that Google Scholar indexes quite broadly citations, so his 2957 citations could be a proxy but not so precise.

I agree on the fact that he *seems* to be ignorant about his ignorance, even though I don't really think he is. My perception is that he eccessively tries to reduce what the counterparty said to a domain he is more knowledgeable about. With Tech stuff that is usually somehow fine, because he is a machine learning engineer...quite frankly he knows a lot about that spectrum of tech. When talking about other matters he probably has to work a bit more on the "investigative side" rather than the "conclusion" side.
Overall I find him a good podcaster: first of all he is NOT very opinionated, which means that he has the opportunity to let the truth emerge rather than simply fancying some theories of one or the other side. He goes in deep in the background, writings, experience of the other person, he does his homeworks and tries to connect the dots. This is not something I find usually in most of the other shows.

That's because it's custodial wizardry: when you deposit, the invoice shown is not your wallet, it's the LN node of the mint you selected during the setup. Then the mint, once receives the payment, mints to you some ecash tokens, that are something similar to gift cards. The balance you see is of these rcash tokens, pegged 1-to-1 with sats.

You don't need to "believe in money" to be subject to its relevance. Money is a recommendation system, it's just as simple as that. You can avoid it, what's the result? Usually where's money allocated, there's also tangible value created at the roots of the business. Exceptions do not eliminate this fact.

Because long term all relays will need to have some sort of business model to pay the rent. Actually, paid relays would decentralize more the protocol rather than what free relays do. if there's something free, majority goes ther; if everything comes at a cost, people are going to decide given some criterias they value more. Some will value cheap-ness, thus will use the cheapest relays. Some will value long term storage of notes, thus will pay for relays with longer storage. Etc.

Mad and linux-ish suggestion: if you are very very very used to vim keybindings you can try qutebrowser, bit that's more a side-broswer than a daily driver.
Jokes aside, Mint is really good. My suggestion is to try to not to be dispersive with regards to the installation methods for the software you install, meaning that going with flatpak+.deb+snap+.AppImage+source ecc can make the update of dependencies and software very cumbersome. Instead, try to centralize into a few methods...for ideological reasons I would not recommend Snap, go for flatpak.
I don't know how the "windows emulator" market is for Apple products, for GNU/Linux you have mainly Wine. But overall Wine is not very good, try to avoid emulation if possibile. If you're using Gnome as a DE I suggest to proritize the utilities that Gnome bundles in its suite...they're very nice and well done.

Stability is often worth it imo. That's the reason why humans are not generally nomads, why Sapens sapens embraced monogamy. The illusion of stability is what hurts: fiat is not stable but seems to be, democracy is not stable but seems to be.
Bitcoin monetary policy is stable and that's good...humans thrive thanks to stability, not having always to "figure out stuff" and being able to focus is a gift of stability.

I'm thinking about something like Amber, but dunno if that already exists for linux desktop.

That's basically the gist of it, yes. But that realisation probably comes only after the awareness that we tend to please other people too much.

A few ideas:
- Taproot addresses that are no LN related
- Segwit/legacy -> Taproot transactions (since Taproot usage is low and it's likely for a spending to be from a segwit address
- Taproot addresses with more than dust amounts
- Taproot addresses funded from this week on, before there was no Silent payment implementation, therefore no need to count them
I guess that the classical heuristics of "different script outputs" are crucial: most of the users spend from segwit addresses...a transaction with a bunch of segwit inputs and all segwit outputs but one taproot is likely to be a silent payment (or a channel funding btw).
If you'r able to isolate channel fundings from other "to taproot" payments then the esitmate would be kind of reasonable

2024-05-12 14:49:47

I do not agree.
Little premix: I use LN everyday and I consider myself pretty savy about it. I like it, i like the business opportunities that it creates, like the UX of good LN products. L2 is not only LN, agreed, but we can only talk about what exists, so I'mm refer to it.
1) If you cannot settle a channel balance onchain, you are not sovraign. If you hold a 100'000 sats UTXO onchain, at fee peak you weren't economically able to spend it without draining more than half of the UTXO in fees. These are truths. The result of it is that in the future 100k sats could be a good amount of money, but maybe fees will be no high that it does not make sense to hold UTXO onchain.
2) The World is made of people that cannot go about their days always thinking about bitcoin and the majority don't even have the opportunity to save enough to buy some sats, I cannot imagine them buying a UTXo and paying fees high as hell. These guys will be relegated to higher layer solutions, without the change to settle onchain.
I'm not advocating for on-chain scaling, don't get me wrong. But the virtue signaling in our industry must take into account reality. Some halfway reality checks would be very very healthy.

Cashu is NOT sats. A Cashu token (usually called ecash or "nut") is just a token, an IOU, a "voucher".
The nice thing about Cashu Protocol is that it creates a standard for some providers (mints) that are Lightning nodes to create ecash pegged 1-to-1 with sats. So if you go to a cashu mint to get some ecash the mint will ask you to pay an invoice of X sats, you pay the LN invoice and the mint returns to you X ecash tokens. The mint promises to let you redeem the tokens 1-to-1with sats.
This is how the cashu protocol works

Last point is particularly overlooked and is in fact the Achilles heel of ecash: if the mint becomes big enough, eventually regulators will find out. If the mint keeps its small size, then ecash is simple a little cryptographic game that creates a barter-like environment between lightnin nodes.
I love ecash as a privacy solution, don't get me wrong
