Bad with names, there are several, even core developers.
I liked bitkarrot@nostr.com talk with Guy Swan.
Maybe not core developer but fun and worth wile listening to...

Most new laptops don't. Use a Ethernet USB dongle.
You should be able to find one pretty much anywhere in the $14 ball park.
My wife installed Windows 11 Home? a while back *don't ask*.
She had an Ethernet cable and connection but was not allowed to continue with the installation unless she connected to a WiFi and created/used the Microsoft account.

Had to do one those corporate "Security training" courses, today in fact.
It was in the "It's not only your computer. Don't trust your mobile devices either" section.
"Don't trust SMS:es from random sources, don't click on received links in messages from unknown numbers. Verify the sender first.".
I was like *uck! Is this real, in a "Security training"!
101, ABC of SMS. - You can not *ever* verify the sender of an SMS with out asking the sender in person if it sent the message.
Literally, you can put *anything* in the SMS sender field. Any text or phone number you want. Not verified anywhere.
Same goes for caller ID.
Just because some number is displayed on your phone does not mean that the owner of that number is calling you/sent the text.
The caller may not have any phone number at all, just a SIP trunk.
Knew about this "call center" that had no phone number, just a SIP trunk. They were sending random phone numbers as caller ID when making calls, and the operator knew/did not care.
And SMS is dead easy. Anyone can do it with any cellphone/landline modem that supports AT-commands, like 100% of any old cellphone's.
Trusting SMS is like trusting me cause I say "Trust me bro".

hehe.. embarrassing. IPv6 I guess you don't need/want to NAT IPv6. I assume you are thinking about home router/firewall and general rule set.

To do this has been a part of the "Bitcoin is not energy wasteful" argument for quite some time.
It's been argued that some of the currently unfeasible energy projects, for instance in Africa, hydroelectric dam builds and such could maybe be financed with bitcoin mining until the customers come online.
Guy (The Bitcoin Audible podcast) has good reads about this.
Ask him.

Basically. He's a what a *very* large part of the Bitcoin posts is see are about.
With or without legal/regulatory clarity.

Uhm.. Sorry. for clarity Michael is not a complete waste of time.
He wants the clarity.

2024-10-10 18:27:59

- reply

I know of him, but I do not know him, know very little about him hence have no opinion of him in any personal way.
However, my impression is, and I might be wrong.
Hmmm... I don't mean to insult him by what I'm going to say next, understand what I mean and not what I say.
Having Michael Saylor on bitcoin podcasts and such is a bit like having Elmo Musk on to discuss bitcoin. Hope you guys remember when he was on some live stream to discuss bitcoin with that Ark lass, what's her name now. *Sorry*
*Elmo Musk is/was utterly ignorant, does not care and is a waste of time from a "Bitcoiner" and Bitcoin perspective.
Elmo is a complete waste of time. Michael S. may not be from a bitcoiners perspective, I don't know.
Michael likes the scarcity and the fact that Bitcoin exists and works.
He likes that it has liquidity.
He is not a libertarian.
Bitcoins social potential is second.
He want's to protect his wealth and if Bitcoin executes it's potential. Things are looking good. It's definitely worth wile.
He understands Bitcoin, the technology.
But he wants regulatory/legal clarity and protection for his assets/investment.
He is a business man.
The token is the primary value of Bitcoin for him.
He is not and will not push the envelope on development of Bitcoin.
He is not supporting the development of the network economically. Am I right here or wrong?
I might be wrong regarding all the above.
However, to want regulatory clarity and acceptance is what *every* Bitcoiner or owner of Bitcoin/Bitcoin EFT/... should want, lobby and advocate for.
Any thing else is ... um strange.
Based on utxo's list, my assumption is, He is a ...rebel?
Look, passing the hurdle of regulatory clarity and acceptance with a good legal framework surrounding is a must.
If you think not. Why don't you download the original BTC client release, mine your own Genesis block, put up a firewall, not have your hardware plugged in to *anything*. No network, nothing, and start mining.
Imagine the bitcoins all you will make... have.
My precious?
Having clarity and acceptance or precious?

Start with something simple, preferably something popular, or something your most helpful friend(s) use. Dual boot. Make sure Linux is the default, so you have to choose to boot Windows? That's a good start.

I'm sorry. I think you have to be more specific. What need do you have? What platform? IPv4? IPv6? Do you want stuff like traceroute to work or not to work, is the question larger, let's say it's good firewall best practices you want? UPNP enabled, I need hair-pining and so on.
Maybe a good start is to let's say take a Linux Ubuntu, set up the rules you need /want with ufw and look what extra defaults you get.
Port them to what ever you are running...

Back in the olden days, we used to pray for faster modems, and we got ISDN. But that was not the answer! Ee continued to pray and we got DSL. But DSL was not the answer! NO! The copper cables were to long to, and the salvation speeds did not manifest them self as we had hoped! Hence we continued praying, this time for a true solution! And it came! It came in the form of the fiber!
Keep praying, and remember more followers may not be the answer you seek!

That's fair point to make by you. However, I'm also thinking a media person/documentary maker/podcast host/blogger who looks to make any kind of money will ask these type of questions, it's to be expected. If you were around in the early days or might be "important" you will get the question. Even @npub1jt9…la9y brushed on this subject with his interview with Martti Malmi brushed upon this subject.
It's a no event. The search for Satoshi is so single tracked it's stupid and silly, but entertaining to watch in the same way it may be entertaining to read the https://www.thesun.co.uk/. It's research in an echo chamber by making sounds in different pitches.

Pls. explain!? How can he be a political prisoner when he was trying to escape rape/sexual abuse changes?
FFS. He was wanted in Sweden! It would have been word against word. No prof. He would have been let go the same day.
No. Running and hiding in some embassy to avoid the humiliation? from an investigation that would have been closed the day it was opened, that's share stupidity.
What he did at that moment was a way larger offense in another jurisdiction.
Once he figured this out, I bet he had a severe *dhogh* moment.
He should have gone to Sweden, had been home for dinner.

Depends on the legislation where you live and if it's a gift or not.
If you zap bitcoin you purchased as a gift it may be argued its a gift, so not a taxation event unless gift tax exists.
However, even if gift tax exists the zap and any accrued value zapped to that person during a year is usually well below taxation limit for a gift, I assume.
However, you may need to tax the zaps you get unless again; a gift, look at the accrued and who zapped you? Zapping any type of fee/payment is a service and yes a taxable event. You have to pay gains taxes/may do deducts against the acquisition value.
Bottom line, how far can you get with the argument, the zap is a gift? What's the gift tax? If not gift, is it a gain or a loss?

My impression is that blessing ones hart in English is not a good thing. But let's call us hopeless romantics. I'm happy for you.
Don't have the same fortune. Wife says BTC is not real money. So, um. got lucky once. Due unclear taxation rules regarding taxable events, better to be safe than sorry, I once had to sell what little I had, and in that misfortune car broke.
Had to by a new. So sell savings, pay taxes, get a new car, and, and... Any who. I got the new car, said to the wife, it's yours, no matter what, "and bitcoin is real money, any you leave me alone, what ever is left I can reinvest and you are fine with that, OK?" She replied "Yes. Agreed. Now it is. (real money)". Any who, still she sometimes questions whether bitcoin is real money or not.
But there's a sliver lining.
I pay the taxes, and, and, and. Price crashes, I still have some of that money left after the whole ordeal, I by back. Of course, AND I'm almost where I left of.
But the gold is; Every time she questions my savings, I ask here if her car is real.
So Misfortune became MissFortune.

I doubt they will... but "GDP growth", inflation with low bond yields will.
There's also the Cyprus card to play. Gold Reserve Act of 1934, and more.
If there is a way there is a will.
During communism in some European countries that had Zimbabwean numbers on their bills, they simply removed zeros from the bills... for simplicity of course.
So that ppl. don't have to speak in E's.
So imagine you at some point taxed your Bitcoin to an acquisition value 1E12, then 10 are removed, for simplicity of course... new bills are printed. Do they still have a taxed value 1E12?
Regardless, no such fanciness needed. Is already happening, when value of money goes down, and the value of you BTC goes up, so does the taxation in % of those BTC, regardless if you already taxed for them or not.
There are more taxation event's in the world than you can image.
Any who, if there is a way there is a will...
Let's do way with the taxes? Yes, let's to that... and see how that democracy thing will goes.. or libertarianism for that matter.
Can't find but question already stated. There is a good Discworld quote regarding that.
No Bitcoin will not fix that. But other things can...

Makes me think. I once worked with robots that milk cows... for free ranging cows. I repeatedly saw this award humping attempts by the heifer's of each other. So I asked the lass, what's going on? She explained, this and that. Bottom line is, they are frustrated. So I asked about animal protection laws and stuff... but not get an answer to my last question.
Same question to you ppl: If the cows need to be free ranging to enable this and that, why don't they have access to a vasectomised bull?
