if a gazillion people show up tomorrow and decide to call satoshis arthur, there's sod all anyone can do to stop them - silly, pointless BIP trolling is an irrelevance - anecdotally, it smacks of the same kind of presumption that's been causing so much trouble lately.

well, it was either this or sabs heaven and hell, so -

ron pearlman!

looks like it's wearing a fur coat and boots, lol

liked the IROH renfield track - shades of shoegaze, emo, and supergrass - i realise i'm showing my age lol, but a good track anyhoo

not being rude, but how did i ever manage to be online before dark theme

nah

ah yes lol , good times

hey Darth, maybe you can confirm to me, as it's so long ago i forget - did the vinyl High Voltage album this track opens with have fan letters to the band on the back cover, or was that Dirty Deeds ?

(i think i still have some of these records in my mother's attic, but haven't played them in years)

why is base size multiplied by 4 in the transaction weight measurement ?

@justin_shocknet - as a lightning maxi, could i trouble you for your take on ephemeral anchors - their pros/cons, please ? and do the complaints around the dust limit have anything to them ? TIA

ah, the good old bad old days.

'The prevailing power balance will be preserved'

'what we call money may well continue to be controlled by traditional banking institutions in 2025'

this is what they are talking about, and what is going on here.

dismal statist derangement

no.

yeah i got that, however, your post linked others that Darth has contention with - maybe that led the thread in a certain direction - plus the post defines him as a bully - i don't accept that he is - grumpy, yes, and confrontational in disagreement, sure...

anyhoo, i'm just passing traffic here, so who (or what) anyone is or isn't doesn't matter much to me, so i'll leave it there.

meh - honestly, looking thru the thread, OP comes off as overly sensitive, a few others glom together being snide, and Darth mostly seems on point - i don't have hard evidence as such, but over time it's become apparent to me that there are various trolls and spooks roaming here - personally, i don't mute, and rarely engage too much for it to matter anyway, but it might be something for you to reflect on that some accounts here are inauthentic, for a variety of reasons (if indeed yours is an authentic account, after all...)

not sure if this counts - plus it's now December... but this track, hey -

This is the plan for Suriname - Bitcoin recognised as legal tender day one, and moving to Bitcoin as unit of account going forward - the export of it's resources settled on the blockchain so the allocation of funding is transparent to the public and insulated from the endemic corruption and fraud it's affairs are routinely subject to currently.

Never could get any of those mag games to work on my Sinclair Spectrum - i seem to remember the print/stapling of the pages would make some lines unreadable, and i had no clue as to what to do with it.

Loading games from a mono tape player worked, mostly, though. Ultimate games were far and away the best - how many hours went to Jet Pac, Trans Am, and Cookie rather than homework, lol.
