There are two types of responders: people who pick SATS, and liars!
I'm confident that spam will be priced out by economic transactions in the long run. But I still appreciate having purists around to stir up debate, because I'm not a fan of all the garbage on my node.
According to 2ndbtc, "Using Ark will inevitably require ongoing costs to maintain a balance." Is that the case for Erk and hArk, or is it specific to covenantless Ark?
What is the long-term solution to this? DATUM? I'm interested in the prospect of fully decentralized mining pools (braidpool), but I don't know how feasible they are.
I asked Grok to briefly summarize Stephen Kinsella's work on intellectual property, so here's a TLDR:
Stephan Kinsella, a libertarian legal theorist and patent attorney, is best known for his strong opposition to intellectual property (IP) rights, particularly patents and copyrights. In his influential work, Against Intellectual Property (2008), he argues that IP is incompatible with libertarian principles and property rights. Kinsella contends that ideas and information are not scarce resources like physical property, so granting monopolies over them through IP laws creates artificial scarcity, stifles innovation, and infringes on individual liberty. He asserts that copying or using someone’s idea does not deprive the originator of their property, making IP enforcement a form of coercion that violates the non-aggression principle. Instead, he advocates for a free market where innovation thrives without state-backed IP protections, relying on voluntary contracts and natural incentives. His work has sparked significant debate within libertarian and legal circles, challenging conventional views on IP.
Art is the idea, craft is the execution. Anyone can learn to paint the Mona Lisa. That makes you skilled at a craft, but that doesn't make you an artist. I'm bullish on AI making it significantly easier for artists to bring ideas to fruition.
The downside is the endless avalanche of AI slop. I think we'll survive it though.
