The invention of the computer and then the internet promised a more democratic world; a world where people have more power and knowledge at their fingertips; where people would be able to resist power structures' control and manipulation for their gain at the people's expense. We've made good progress, but it hasn't fully panned out yet. Bitcoin is the next critical step fowards toward that end. I'm enjoying watching history progress.

If you lose access to this data but still have your seed, how does restoring your history look like? Can the ecash server instantly provide you all your transactions and only yours?

Bitcoin makes me optimistic for a better future for humanity.
Bitcoin maxis make me pessimistic.

That's a cleaner argument. I'll discuss this argument without insulting you.
If someone thinks they can execute ideas better than someone else, I think we should want and encourage that. Innovators then make their money by executing their ideas better than the competition. Ideas and by extension, goods and services, then flow at cheapest cost from best competitor to the market. Monopolies lose protected edge granted to them by the government.
This is the opposite of socialist. It's pure free market competition. The strong survive, the consumers benefit.

PSA: free and open source software is now socialist shitcoining.
Preferring the government not prevent competition in the free market is now socialist shitcoining.
Bitcoin maxipads are such idiots sometimes. It's comical.

Lol, my arguments have been fine. Yours have been alright too, much better than anything nvk has said on the topic. From what I've seen him say on this and how he's acted, I think you're giving him too much benefit of doubt.
Yes I don't like how nvk acts for valid reasons, in this instance included.

That last paragraph looks ripe for lawyers to sort out and suck more money up out of free enterprise.
Even though Foundation forked from the permissively licensed code, NVK and co still continue to launch plenty of accusations Foundation was/is a re-skin of Coldcard with no substantial changes to the code, which isn't the case.
It is clear NVK's choice of this license had 1 goal: prevent Foundation from building on the code.
This decision was and continues to be bad for the Bitcoin space and antithetical to FOSS principles that led to Bitcoin in the first place.

2023-04-26 05:01:55

Yes, exactly. The antithesis of Bitcoin protects coldcard.
Just because we live under the threat of violence from the state doesn't mean we should adapt to use the state to be violent against each other. That is regression. It is weak.

If I fork coldcard's code today and start selling a product using this code, who will protect coldcard from me?

Screeching scam at a clearly useful tool like Monero is a clear sign of someone who lacks integrity.
#[0]and all the weak maxis who do this work against the interest of power to individuals.
The ability to transact privately with ease is good. No amount of maxi delusions and dishonest framing will change that.

If you genuinely think Monero is a scam and isn't a useful tool for sovereign individuals, you're a blind zealot. Your twitter rant sounds more performative than genuine to me though. I don't think you're actually that much of an idiot

There are tons of scenarios where coinjoinjng is necessary and useful today, even if you're 100% p2p no-kyc circular economy. And the best CJ relies on trust. You seem the type incapable of admitting you were incorrect. I can feel it.

2023-04-20 19:47:11

- reply

I agree network effects are important.
I disagree ASIC resistance is silly. Monero's hash rate is solid and not at the mercy of specialized manufacturers. It's easier for an individual to mine Monero and it'll be that way forever.
The point remains that Monero offers a compelling use case for those who need or want private money. Even the guy who coined "there is no second best" literally said "if you need privacy maybe you need a Monero" lol

2023-04-20 17:10:52

Well if you like censorship resistant, fungible, private money that the state doesn't want you to use there is Monero. I find its use case pretty compelling

Yes, I have. Austrian Economics is sound. Mises, Hayek, Rothbard etc. all sound. In constrast, quotes like the one you shared offer no substance. Just bullshit spew with a toxic spin for morons to eat up. Saifedean is good at that.

If you want to learn more about BTC and "principles of economics" as they relate to BTC, I recommend going through the literature here:
https://nakamotoinstitute.org/literature/
Specifically look for stuff written by Nick Szabo. Some particularly good ones: "Shelling Out: The Origins of Money", "Trusted Third Parties are Security Holes", and "Money, Blockchains, and Social Scalability"

I can see why this kind of colorful bullshit prose appeals to a certain type of Bitcoiner, but there isn't any substance to this. Idiocy.

Ya this is a significant downside of silent payments. I think the custom sync is worth the downside. Could implement both legacy sync and silent payment sync for users of the feature

2023-04-10 18:37:31

- reply

Oh ya, I get that. But the goal is to avoid reusing an address that's used in a different tx, on the output side of the coinjoin. If you can guarantee that never happens, even if the recipient of some UTXO's in the coinjoin is distinct from the sender who owns some inputs in the coinjoin (for example I'm making a donation to some org via a coinjoin), without requiring interaction from the recipient, that would be good and worth added complexity to do the silent protocol within the coinjoin.

2023-04-10 17:47:17

- reply

There needs to be input from senders not receivers, no?

2023-04-10 06:14:20

- reply

I was thinking if a receiver shares their "silent" address with you there shouldn't need to be any additional interaction beyond that

2023-04-08 21:41:15

- reply

Sure, but address reuse seems a significant issue you'd ideally want to avoid trustlessly without another interactive protocol, and even if 2 clients are open at the same time

2023-04-08 21:37:01

- reply

Can't the coordinator just make sure users of the updated protocol coordinate with like users

2023-04-08 21:24:29

- reply

Considering coinjoins already stick out on chain, maybe a similar spec could work that works inside coinjoins without silent payment's strict requirement of needing to look like every other taproot tx. Address reuse inside coinjoins is bad

Releasing paynyms without whirlpool support is a bit irresponsible. That will harm both sender and receiver privacy and can very easily undo all benefits of paynyms in the first place.

OK, why might the shopper prefer to use Monero over Bitcoin?

2023-04-03 23:54:00

It makes no difference to the shopper whether or not Bitcoin is more recognizable, accepted, and more liquid because the merchant accepts Monero anyway. What other reasons might the shopper have for using Bitcoin over Monero if the seller accepts both Bitcoin and Monero as payment?

2023-04-03 23:49:59

Assume the merchant they are shopping at accepts Bitcoin and Monero. Why use Bitcoin?
