I think I get your feeling, but I wasn't speaking against that.

My point is more that every person is the market and every action changes the market direction to some degree, so no one can really "just follow", you have to make the market.

This is such a stupid idea I can't even begin to list the innumerable problems with it.

Now I will read the article.

Do you have your own crawler? How can you be so much faster than Google and still have more stuff indexed than Google?

Can you provide native search over Nostr content? Please.

I have a Bitcoin node, how do I find other Bitcoin nodes to fetch blocks from?

Conclusion: Bitcoin is centralized.

So ecash is self-custodial in the same sense that my ZBD Wallet password is in my custody and it gives me access to my funds?

Got it.

Have you really thought about this? What you're suggesting is impossible.

Maybe refer to actual ideas like Ark so we can point out how they do and don't work.

Why are you not in Nostr?

Should we activate the next Bitcoin soft-fork using adjacent consensus-enforcer daemons like suggested at the end of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKh7OS8nrHc ?

Is zkCoins really possible or is it just an idea under research?

I didn't think about the details, but it could be a simple thing based on Nostr.

You would make a list of other wallet providers you trust and listen to some specific Nostr relays for a specific kind.

Whenever there was some suspicious activity in any wallet provider they would publish payment hashes of transactions made by the suspicious people. You would then check your internal database for those hashes and temporarily freeze the involved accounts immediately, then try to hash it out with the other providers manually and understand the situation.

Hey, how many satoshis have disappeared? What is your Telegram username? The withdrawals from lntxbot have been happening for many months now and are still ongoing. You have probably gotten a message from the bot notifying you of that. Please join https://t.me/lntxbot_dev and tag me so we can fix this.

As someone who has been robbed multiple times because of software bugs while running a service trying to be helpful and not make any money from it, I understand your feelings completely. In my case too the attackers knew what they were doing and sent the money to other wallets like Bitrefill or WoS and from there they quickly vanished with the money, I'd say it's impossible to track even if everybody cooperates. I toyed with the idea of creating a federation of bona fide wallet providers that would be able to automatically and immediately track and halt the accounts of thieves in these cases, but ultimately I think this would be too hard to make work, so we're left with emails and 6-hour-late responses.

In many of my cases, too, the people responsible for the bugs that caused money loss never apologized, which would have been a nice gesture at least. On the other hand I understand that bugs are unavoidable and it would be mentally overwhelming for them if they were to feel responsible for every satoshi lost due to their bugs.

Where are the coins inside the game?

Yes, exactly. We already have more than enough academic type people writing retarded overengineered unimplementable and completely useless specs in the world. I heard the W3C has a role for them though.

You must be new to the internet.

I'll take that as a compliment.
