Why do so many websites assume that their users never travel and won't ever need to access the site from another location? I understand that it's a crude form of DDoS protection, but come on … how smooth brained is that?
And then some *also* block VPNs 🤦🏻‍♂️

Haven't watched this yet, so I don't know if it's addressed, but my concern has always been how privacy is affected by turning years of accumulation of small fragmented, but privacy preserving, UTXOs into a single big one, or perhaps a few. I never see this talked about.

Yes, but the data ends up in other chain(s), which is effectively the same downside, which ultimately means that it can't be relied upon as a solution to anything

It makes that calculation given assumptions that existed back then. So it doesn't consider splicing, channel factories, or CISA, nor any other future changes that address scaling.

2023-09-09 13:58:53

Yeah, we no longer have a neutral Internet. A large reason for that is the lack of cost. VPN addresses are blocked largely because they're used in DDoS attacks, and SMTP is no longer an open protocol because of spam.
The internet should not be free to use.

It's a chicken/egg problem. Merchants should be all over this, due to irreversibility and low fees, but no one takes Bitcoin seriously. It's just a volatile asset in most people's minds. And as a consumer I like that I can reverse a transaction if the merchant doesn't deliver what was promised, and the 1-3% cash back doesn't hurt either.
We're fighting an entrenched legacy system, and until enough people are denied access, it's an uphill battle.
That's why the developing world will embrace this before the developed world.

As part of the scaling and drivechain debate, I'm just gonna say this:
If Bitcoin ever takes over the world, and I see that as inevitable, Visa and Mastercard will take care of the scaling.
(they're credit cards, so the trust is reversed, no custody risk)

2023-08-23 22:51:54

Hivecoin, Jesus, more shitcoinery. And you're wrong, it does affect Bitcoin and everyone owning Bitcoin. It changes miner incentives. We don't, and can't, know how exactly, but it can lead to greater centralization in a number of ways. It's a risk that cannot just be ignored, particularly when there's nothing about DC that actually benefits Bitcoin. The main argument has always been "destroy shitcoins by enabling them on DC". I don't know any Bitcoiner who wants those degens leaching on Bitcoin. It's bad enough we got NFT inscriptions.
