SaaS prices are going to collapse down to their raw VPS value over time, I'm surprised there's not a bash/cli focused LLM wrapper with an Umbrel-like UI for commodity VPS's already.
Was funny to hear DHH making note of home-labbing, I've always colocated owned equipment as he's been doing... but also recently realized that with fiber to the home + Starlink as a backup, plus Solar generators getting dirt cheap for redundant power, makes it trivial to turn your basement into a Five-9's facility.
Who else remembers this meme? It's been around forever and I don't recall it ever being debonked.
What QC chicken littles want you to believe, while grifting on immense gravy train of opaque funding, is that they have a magic contraption can just assume these numbers all at once by... making things really cold?
The much more likely explanation (because its inherently superpositional whether QC is a hoax or not, right?), is that "coherence" is just new scammer nomenclature for brute forcing things and therefore not possible.
You can use shockwallet in boostrap mode for the simpler UX immediately. Eventually, once your balance is viable, it'll spin up a cloud node behind the scenes with full automation, enabling you to invite people to share access to it. Invites are just an nprofile that connect the wallet to the node over Nostr.
This spreads the inevitable costs around, but keeps the trust local within families/social circles/small businesses.
It's already pretty simple if you want to do this, if you can buy a linux VPS and copy paste literally one line of code you're good to go.
Run a lightning.pub then connect shockwallet to it
You'll then be the custodian, invite friends family customers etc
Self-custody doesn't become economically viable until 200k or so minimum, 500k more realistically. That's still a very low bar for instant settlement and onboarding.
Pretty sad that there's so many fake L2's and scam wallets poisoning the ecosystem over what amounts to a de minimis service credit.
A complacency op is certainly possible, but that doesn't turn out voters you need as a force multiplier when elections are rigged against you. The strongest case for that would be to prevent militia groups from turning even more people against MAGA, that doesn't make sense though either because those could just be false-flagged... since that hasn't happened it implies complete control.
"Trust the plan" is a phrase I've heard since 2016 and from my memory "the plan" hasn't really panned out.
We didn't have Hillary come in and start nuclear Armageddon, the fake pandemic was a bump in the road not 5+ years of lockdowns to consolidate power even further. We had a fake Biden for 4 years to illustrate to any deniers that the office is a literal stage.
I never trusted Trump
At this point you're just trying to confirm your prior bias and ignoring the last 8+ years of psyops.
The die hard Trumpers are not gonna leave him
Fake division in MAGA is literally front and center right now, was with Musk, and so on. Kayfabe everywhere.
If Epstein related stuff was sealed indictments in a FISA court, how would you know? It's your pretense of knowledge that blinds you to what's obvious, it's all a fugaz.
Every Lightning service gets hit with a drainage attack eventually, we once had someone exploit internal payments even though external payments had locks/atomic transactions... every Lightning node is a bounty
Even with the atomic solution in place we still run a separate watchdog that tracks LND and DB balances and shuts down on any discrepency
This... was incredibly ham fisted.
That's the neat part, it wasn't.
Nothing is happening in real-time, everything is scripted at these levels, if it looks ham-fisted it was meant to look that way according to some whiteboard in a SCIF years ago... it's bait.
If the future resembles the past, everyone clamoring over it now will have no standing when the other shoe drops. Trump's MO is to have people turn on him, pulling them into the killbox... we've seen it hundreds of times at this point.
I say this not to convince you of what's happening because I can't know precisely either... but that this was a waste of time in the first place:
I was driving to a restaurant and had the radio on
Everyone is either a spook putting out disinformation, or a know-nothing LARP regurgitating disinformation. Fog of war.
Fwiw the only person I use to keep tabs on mainstream narratives is Steve Bannon, obviously he's delivering a script too for multiple audiences at once, but is the one public person other than Trump himself that I'm aware of who is close to the script.
He'll tongue-in-cheek say the quiet part out-loud in coded Pentagon/NIO speak, but that takes a certain ear to parse... he's talking to operatives in multiple columns just as much as he's talking to boomers buying mypillows.
I just have less of a learning disability than most.
How many more years do we have to repeat the circle of fud just for Trump to reveal a W up his sleeve? He, and the think tank/intelligence orgs behind him that not only got him installed but kept him alive all this time, play the media lapping morons like a fiddle.
This time will be no different.
delete this AI slop, some of the more embarrassing slop on the subject I've seen as a slop connoisseur
transactions were fast
Confirmation time hasn't changed, it's always targeted 10m and always will.
Lightning will always be needed for instant settlement.
Payment channels also pre-date Lightning as it is known, re-usable transactions are an indelible part of Bitcoin.
If such a threat were to exist (it doesn't), that would be the incentive to move coins... not fear of lockout.
No one is forced to accept stolen coins, Lopp's argument is disingenuous. If you receive abandoned coins you suspect were stolen by QC you can burn them.
economic disruption
This is the not-so-quiet part of the proposal, fear of dilution by reintroducing abandoned coins onto the market. Lopp undermines his own argument, they're not afraid people will be forced to accept coins, but that they will happily accept them.
This is not a technical BIP, it's a vanity one trying to impose a view on the market. The very market fear driving it is also what undermines it, you can't fight the market. Someone stealing a satoshi amount of coins will also buy the hashpower to confirm the tx.
secure the value of the UTXO set
A functional QC would effectively be a winner-take-all coins, candidates in the running to have it already have access to a material number of coins (Google, Microsoft have countless passwords emails 2FA to custodial platforms and password managers).
A QC could also sign for any software distribution, enabling untold backdoors into systems. There's no change to Bitcoin that can protect Bitcoin from a (fake) QC threat because Bitcoin is not the only link in the chain.
It's a psyop, this shit ties back to foreign heads of state, disclosure has to look like its not going to happen up until it happens.
Unless you're at the highest levels of the IC, speculation is smol brained rage bait.
Trust the plan.
Whole thing stinks of psyop, Adams cleaned up the city substantially, then woops all of a sudden not a Democrat anymore. It's not that simple.
Popcorn ready.

People responding to this seriously are why we don't deserve better psyops.
Testing and working on a demo for a new CLINK spec, CLINK Manage
Was also planning to revisit the deployment story and services for Lightning.Pub Umbrel/Start9 but haven't started in earnest and now my Umbrel VM just shit the bed out of the blue
It's not a source, intuition is the source. The video articulates some things for people without such intuition.
Orgs poured billions into shitcoins too, all hoaxes. Doesn't require a conspiracy, people are just retarded.
Reality is there's no tangible quantum supremacy to prove the concept, it's just a story that's dragged on for decades without material progress. Handwaving that it could happen in the future is capitulation to this fact, aliens could visit and gift us such magic, but that's not a realistic roadmap.
