47 sats \ 1 reply \ @BallLightning 2 Dec \ on: Holland before the introduction of an exit tax news
I can't see the article. I only see the title. What's written in the article?
I once said that it will be perfect of one can freely send and receive amounts as low or lower than one sat and i was attacked for, i quote, "missing the plot". I also pointed out that mass adoption requires the so called "regular" people to be able and to use bitcoin, but then I was attacked (by no other than darth coin). When I point out how some UX problems can be solved with medium effort, I am told that whoever can't be bothered to "study" bitcoin doesn't deserve to have any and deserves to fuck off.
All those small and medium things make bitcoin more susceptible to centralization by costodials and then what you call "semantic attack" can indeed happen.
Does batching help? Has somebody run the numbers? Doesn't the single transaction size scale linearly with the number of the inputs and outputs?
Can you show me to a transaction in the mempool with batched channel creation? (Even a test one)
I don't like the way these things are periodically pushed. But on the other hand I also don't like how people here are ignoring the fact that there is not enough block space for every person on the planet to open a single lightning channel.
What is "graybeard" developers metaphor for? (I would assume you don't literally mean the color of someone's beard, as that is not something coding skills stem from.)
That is good. But many people crave the validation from others (see, I was right) or want to "win" the superiority contest (by showing others that they are more successful. In the later case they even gain satisfaction from others envying them.
But it is best if one doesn't give in to these desires (if one has such desires in the first place).
I must admit that I have seen many bitcoiners (in the internet, not in real life) that support bitcoin with the same arguments that shitcoiners support their own shitcoin. Yeah, these people are on the right side, but not due to them gaining knowledge. So for them calling them lucky won't be far from the truth.
Anyway, luck or not, hate from other people will be due to plain old envy, nothing more.
I would advise people to stack bitcoin for themselves, not to gain other people's admiration. I would go as far as to advise the opposite - to hide that you have bitcoin. This plain old envy that i mentioned can sometimes be dangerous to the successful person.
Satellite, microwave lines, free space optics. Nothing can carry as much traffic as undersea cables unfortunately.
Hm... Are you guys who think or used to think like this Americans? I have the feeling that this is somewhat American thinking. I have never felt this. And I don't even have a family.
Email is not that decentralized. Most people who self host email servers complain that google clients don't receive their mails.
I have been wandering something. If you say some candidate will certainly win (whether lying or not), do you actually increase the chances of him winning?
I considered them. I don't think i lost anything to be honest.
Btw introducing new people is way more important than many people here (with the attitude of "if you don't get it fuck off) that underestimate this.
And i just took a look at my SN notifications and i can see i am receiving zaps of 7, 8, 9 sats. They currently do find a path with almost zero fees. Currently.
Sending significant amount of real money is the best way to introduce new people and demonstrate how things work. And besides you can do that with fiat cash. I don't want fiat cash to have advantages over bitcoin (or maybe that's impossible).
Yes, exactly what i was talking about. But my tests on fedi app offline never say that you don't have the required tokens. No matter what value i type it never fails (offline that is). This seems very unlikely (unless the ballance is completely composed of 1 sat tokens of course).
