I'm against the "Burn the old coins" idea anyway, but a lot of people are missing the nuance in BIP361.
It's not a full confiscation of every pre-quantum coin. The actual BIP361 proposal is: disable ECDSA/Schnorr spends after a ~5-year migration window, in favor of letting people use a ZKP rescue if they still have their BIP-39 seed words on a BIP32 wallet.
But here's the fly in the ointment: What about the 'Patoshi' coins and other pre-BIP32 coins? We're talking ~1.7M BTC in early P2PK outputs with exposed pubkeys. No seed phrase = no ZKP rescue. Those coins either get moved manually by their owners before the sunset, or they get frozen forever under the new rules.
Some have floated pre-Q-day commitments or other workarounds, but that just raises the obvious question: If they're gonna have to do a pre-Q-day commitment anyway, why not just push the responsibility on the holders of these old coins to shift to a quantum-safe output (BIP-360 P2MR or whatever)? Why force a consensus rule change that effectively confiscates a large chunk of that 1.7M BTC for anyone who doesn't do the pre-Q-day commitment, or does not upgrade in time?
For this reason I'm still firmly in the "introduce a quantum-safe output type, let people migrate voluntarily, and let the chips fall where they may" camp. Bitcoin's strength has always been opt-in upgrades and not changing the rules on people. Confiscating even a portion of old coins is the wrong precedent to set.
No to BIP361.

Unpopular opinion: This is going to happen and most holders silently want this to happen.
Assuming it’s done with a fair grace period, it seems right. People talking about the ‘original ethos’ are talking out of their sidelined arses or virtue signaling.

Cypherpunk Jameson Lopp and other Bitcoin developers propose BIP-361 to freeze quantum vulnerable wallets. This could lock dormant BTC like Satoshi Nakamoto’s 1.1M coins, now worth $74B, before quantum computers can steal them.
English
The cleanest way to “freeze” quantum-insecure coins is just to sunset *all P2PK UTXOs at a defined block height.*
Give Satoshi and anyone else, say, 3-5 years to move them. If they haven’t moved to quantum resilient addresses by then, they are assumed to have been lost or forfeited by their owners.
Nothing wrong with sunsetting old network components that present vulnerabilities. This gets rid of the “confiscation” language. It’s a technical bug fix/security upgrade.

Nobody actually needs this much protein to live a healthy strong life and likely does more long term damage to your filtering organs than the good it does by adding minimal additional muscle mass.

Unbelievable the amount of food you need to eat to hit 2g per kg in bodyweight while being in caloric restriction or maintainance, I mean I hit it but it's not easy is it

One of the bigger misconceptions in trading is that you need an informational edge, some insight, some pattern, some signal that others haven't found. If that's the game you're playing, you're competing against people with more data, more compute, and more capital than you'll ever have. You are not in that game, and pretending otherwise is the first mistake.
The edge that's actually within reach looks nothing like that. It's (for the most part) doing what other people refuse to do, sitting in discomfort, absorbing volatility, providing liquidity to the person who simply wants out. You're not outsmarting anyone in a direct sense, but instead you're out-tolerating them.
That's a less exciting framing, but it's a more honest one. The secret sauce most traders are searching for definitely exists somewhere, and they probably still couldn't execute it consistently even if they found it. The better question isn't what do I know that others don't, but what can I do that others won't.

@ErikVoorhees What kind of cost is associated using this setup vs opus 4.5?
English
Anyone can use clawdbot/moltbot with kimi 2.5 via Venice.ai easily. Choose Venice during the clawdbot setup.
Totally private, zero data retention.
Legendary@Legendaryy
kimi 2.5 is the best model for clawdbot/moltbot right now. almost opus 4.5 quality but 95% cheaper. but there is a catch: moonshot api sends your data to china heres how to fix it: serve it through openrouter instead. turn on ZDR (zero data retention). pick fireworks as provider who are located in the US and have a no logs policy

@coinvisionco @QBCCIntegrity It wasn’t a scam. It was a deal for votes.

Seems we’ve hit Albo and his merry ministers in the right spot as Home Affairs raises scrutiny levels on qualifications out of India, Nepal & Bangladesh - just months after agreeing to mutual recognition of qualifications.
Labor seem concerned now!?

Look at all these confiscated fake degrees Labor says it will mutually recognise in Australia when giving out visas.

@AvidCommentator Yes, because he depends on Muslim votes.

Is it really that hard to focus on radical Islam after a bloody ISIS terrorist attack...
Sandy Lanceley@sandylanceley
Anthony Albanese has again failed when it comes to talking about Islamic extremism. “It’s one of the issues” we’re facing apparently. I would’ve thought in the wake of the Bondi beach massacre it would be the MAIN issue we are facing He’s gutless
English
Albanese sidelined ASIO/ASIS from National Security Cabinet in March, likely over clashes with Burgess on immigration and threat levels. Five months later, the terror threat was raised to PROBABLE. Then came Bondi. Political meddling has consequences.

@levelsio Swimming for cardio
Weights for strength
This is the way.

This is why I avoid running like the plague personally
High odds you position your feet wrong and then running on asphalt makes it worse because it doesn't bounce like running on sand or grass would
I can't count how many people I know who have knee injuries from running, it's not worth it for me
I do cardio on a Concept2 bicycle in my gym and have never had any injury in my life
Marc Lou@marclou
I quit. I started running earlier this year and had the wrong posture (too low cadence at 160 steps per minutes). A slight pain started to kick in on my right knee in April, and it’s not going away. Fast runs or long runs make it worse. Doctors think I injured my meniscus. I’m doing an MRI in 2 weeks to confirm. Until then, I’ll run once or twice a week, very slowly. I’ll miss the daily early morning runs. They would set me up for the day and make me feel good instantly. I hate to quit and I feel dumb not having listened to the pain earlier. I’m going to double down on lifting to strengthen my legs until I get a proper medical report. Hopefully I can run like I used to in a few months 💪

17 years after the white paper, the Bitcoin network is still operational and more resilient than ever. Bitcoin never shuts down.
@SenateDems could learn something from that.

I want to sell it all.
I want to move to an island with my wife and baby, grow our own food, and enjoy the beach.
I want to focus on my relationship with God, my family, and my friends.
I want to get rid of my smartphone so I can fully live in the present.
I am getting to a breaking point.
No part of me wants to participate in this rat race any longer
The matrix is eating away at my soul.
I am going to be free.
2026 is the year I escape from the shackles of modern society.
Time to start living on my own terms…

you are trying to find clues to live a better life on youtube and podcasts meanwhile some legend from thousands of years ago has said something in a book that is relevant even today but you simply choose not to read out of misery of not being able to focus
