No, you can't take them, you can only enforce them or violate them
"They" are really only one: property
Again, the right of property comes from the nature of man in the universe and the nature of interactions between persons

Rights are obligations on others. They come from two beings each recognizing the other as a subject, or end, in themselves rather than just an object

If I understand Lightning correctly, the most efficient way to use it would be for individuals and retailers to set up their multisig with a "bank" or "payment processor", no?

2024-04-15 13:21:11

One easy way to scale Bitcoin is to rely on intermediaries. In fact, Lightning is pretty much exactly that

I actually kinda like monero, but there are a few possible problems people have with it.
1. Tail emission. This is probably the biggest problem maxis have with monero, I think it's overblown, it's a constant tail emission, not percentage based.
2. Verification of the actual number of coins in existence. One can't see the balance of accounts, so one can't verify this. Again, I don't consider this a huge problem, as this is also true of gold. However, maybe there was a pre-mine we don't know about.
3. Tribalism, fear, etc. They're heavily invested in Bitcoin and don't want any competition. I think there is space for a few different coins, Bitcoin probably always being the biggest, but Bitcoin and Monero are complementary until Bitcoin has a very fast, cheap, high tps and private layer 2.

The best time to buy Bitcoin was 10 years ago, the second best time is today, every day

2024-04-15 09:54:32

- reply

There are, every day, about 2 billion cash transactions per day, as a lower estimate - about half of all transactions. 20 years ago it was probably more. Digital transactions can be faster, higher ping, but they don't have the theoretical bandwidth of cash

2024-04-14 20:16:45

- reply

No, I'm saying coins can scale to as many people as there are: billions of transactions per second. Every person on earth can give their partner a coin at the same time

2024-04-14 17:31:41

- reply

No. Coins and cash are enormously scalable in the sense of transactions per second. They can have problems in long distance or large value transactions - where ledgers and clearing operations can be useful.
Bitcoin does not solve the transactions per second problem. This will require a layer 2, or Bitcoin notes, to solve ... assuming one uses Bitcoin as the base layer.

Obviously not going to replace phones yet, but great to see people working on this, along with things like SimpleX, briar, and digital shortwave
One thing I haven't seen much of yet is open source local positioning systems, using one's own radio towers or a mesh of cell phones/radios
Another possibility is a good star map, paired with a clock and image recognition, it would give a decent global positioning on clear nights

Not sure how it could be more secure, unless there is a bug

Proof-of-stake (PoS) protocols are a class of consensus mechanisms for blockchains that work by selecting validators in proportion to their quantity of holdings.
This simply means that the richest, usually the first comers, can continue to control the network at no additional cost, other than opportunity costs.
Proof of work doesn't allow that. Of course, the richest could continue to control the network, but only by continuous investment in the network.
Anyone can join the Bitcoin network, without even purchasing BTC, just mining. This is not true of PoS. PoS almost creates a permanent oligarchy

Use what you want, but proof of stake means the first owners can always keep late comers out. Proof of work means that the protocol is literally open to all.

This is what works. Bitcoin is the same, SimpleX is the same. Nothing prevents you from running a relay, but the two functions should be logically separated ... and there should be client-only apps for use on smaller/older hardware or hardware that may not be always on

Session is better in the sense that it doesn't require a phone number (it uses public/private keys afaik) and it routes messages over Tor.
Not using phone numbers is great, but routing over Tor is a bit performance hit.
Briar is interesting because it can work via bluetooth.
