If you're talking about a simple directory, indeed that would be fairly straightforward. But how to restore a graphene phone including 2FA codes?
And how to restore all the apps, ssh keys, wifi config etc on the laptop?
probably you are right though and it would just be a case of manually putting everything into a filesystem (and taking it back out)
Seems like a right PITA
aha gotcha, good point. Actually that's quite nice as you could carry a very long, secure key that you can subsequently use to access your cloud keepass database or something like that.
Yes, @wumbo mentions this above, this could be a good option from the laptop side of things. Not sure if it would work with Qubes, but I could get an alternative Distro running on a home machine.
I'm familiar with Tails but I'm not sure it will help in terms of setting up a laptop for daily work (video conferencing, email, coding / development etc).
Also it doesn't solve the mobile issue (2FA, contacts, messaging apps etc).
Wiping the device and having a decoy account is easy.
Restoring everything (including 2FA, apps, bitcoin wallets etc) is the hard / time consuming part, at least to do so in a secure way.
that could be a nice workaround, leave a laptop at home and set up some kind of vpn.
just leaves the 2FA and Mobile issue
I'm not fussed about the token account. I'll happily tell them I wiped the device so they couldn't jerk off to my nudes.
The main problem is restoring all the useful content afterwards.
The linked report is excellent and deserves more attention:
The United States exploits the world's wealth with the help of "seigniorage." It costs only about 17 cents to produce a 100 dollar bill, but other countries had to pony up 100 dollar of actual goods in order to obtain one. It was pointed out more than half a century ago, that the United States enjoyed exorbitant privilege and deficit without tears created by its dollar, and used the worthless paper note to plunder the resources and factories of other nations.
Running a node / mining bitcoin are actions, not opinions. Actions matter, and of course, opinions can/do drive actions
I'm not aware of any (significant) action being taken though, or planned, that would impact SideChains or Ordinals.
fwiw, I have no dog in this, other than a general concern for the development of an effective fee market to offset the imminent and ongoing loss of block reward.
Thanks for the demonstration.
The beauty of BTC is that opinions don't matter. As a public good, BTC would always face "tragedy of the commons", which is mostly mitigated by (small) blocksize.
Getting angry about Ordinals and SideChains is what some would call "p*ssing into the wind"
Yes, of course they're level 2. They're not level 1, and they're not level 3.
Are they good? Yes. Pretty much everything that pushes up demand for blockspace is good (including ordinals), as this increases mining fees and improves the security of L1.
If you're upset about paying L1 tx fees, use L2.
