Show Notes

“There’s a reality here that you guys are all asleep to… we are the only alternative path.” American HODL & Peter McCormack join the show to break down the growing divide across the West, the collapse of trust in institutions, and whether the current political system is already failing. We’re moving from a high trust to a low trust society, where incentives are broken, democracy is increasingly unstable, and the middle ground between left and right is disappearing. As countries like the UK decline economically and culturally, the risk isn’t just stagnation, it’s escalation...

Great Converation ladies. I’m a 55 YO female in the space - didn’t know this was the “smallest” demographic. Interesting to learn. Also - I absolutely loved “Old Man Yells”. I learned so much from Bob and ate every episode up. I was honestly a little disappointed to see “Bitcoin Boomers” because it signaled to me that OMY was to be no more. Every episode was so well thought out and so valuable. I have started following and listening to BB as well. It isn’t quite the same as it seems a bit rambly. But I love Bob - and Larry too. Sorry don’t know Gary that well. I like hearing of the plans for BB though. Sounds like there will be more focussed discussions in the future!

Super Argument Dennis. Tom blendet Kernproblematik aufgrund von Indizien-DoS ab und kommt zu falschen Rückschlüssen. Ganz ohne technisches Verständnis kann man halt leider keine Rückschlüsse auf Validität der Indizien und Schutz vor Zentralisierung ziehen, sorry Tom.

Genau andersrum, Ver und Co waren die großen Player (Exchanges, Miner, ..) die ihre Geschäftsmodelle schützen wollten und via Blockgröße einfachste Lösung durchdrücken wollten (Zentralisierung). Mining Pools würden mit Bigblocks noch mehr zentralisiert sein weil schwerer Nodes zu betreiben. Pools ist ein Problem, Lösung Stratum v2, Ocean/Datum um Blocktemplates zu dezentralisieren. Ver/Bigblocks hätte nichts daran geändert bzw. verschlimmert. Blocksizewar als neutralere Quelle lesen.

Mid and upper models of Flair Espresso maker are plastic free in the brewing areas and around $400-500. Tradeoff is it’s manual but that is just more proof of work. Pair with a metal hot water kettle and you’re all set.

FPPS Pools sind praktisch weil du konstante Auszahlungen bekommst aber du wirst zu einem Hasher degradiert und hast keine Kontrolle über Block-Templates. Führt leider auch zu Pool-Zentralisierung. Mit Ocean/Datum oder SV2 (Stratum v2) kannst du selbst entscheiden welche Block-Templates du minst (du kannst entscheiden ob du Datenmüll oder monetäre Transaktionen unterstützt). Wie Sirius sagt, wirtschaftlich eher sinnvoll bei dauerhaften Mining, dann kein unterschied monetär zu FPPS.

Bitcoin is a monetary network and we can't give an inch to make it become a garbage storage. It would make Bitcoin indistinguishable from any random shitcoin.

Puh, wenig Insights in die Problematik. Die op_return filter datacarrier und datacarriersize sollen auch entfernt werden, also nicht mehr konfigurierbar. op_return kostet 4x fees daher wird weiter über witness gespamt werden, und noch paar andere Punkte die das Ganze kontrovers machen.

    Danny good job moderatoring the convo. You’re the only one sounding somewhat sane. I had some critiques on this conversations, but there ended up being too many to even address. Rich Bitcoiners are starting to sound like the elite ass class fearing the majority is going to take their property. So much of this conversation was “freedom can really only exist with control” like wtf? Control of who? It wasn’t even like equal control, more like ways to control people who don’t agree with my way of the world.
