@milessuter @BitcoinPierre @Square Will they show up in the “spend bitcoin locally” map?

We’re making it easier for millions of businesses to accept bitcoin. Starting today, eligible U.S. @Square sellers will begin having Bitcoin payments automatically enabled. Sellers who accept bitcoin will receive USD as default. This is how bitcoin as everyday money begins.

@giacomozucco @Pledditor He is capable of it, if you are polite with him. I can share an example if you want.

@Pledditor Retarded, psychotic, shitcoin-employee Shinobi and "patiently explaining" in the same sentence is beyond ridiculous. Block away. I also thing BIP110 is a terrible idea.

Bitmex Research, Adam Back, Shinobi, etc... have been excellent bitcoiners, who've dedicated large amounts of their personal time the past 6-8 months patiently educating to the most ignorant plebs on this website why BIP-110 is a terrible idea, why it's dangerous, and why it won't activate, and I think now we are at that point where everybody whose mind can be changed, has already been changed. the debate has grown stale, the people who made their entire identity out to be "bitcoin has failed unless my fork happens" are cringe as fuck, and it's time to start blocking you guys because i'm tired of seeing your ignorant posts on my feed everyday. please make it easier for me to identify who to block by typing your angry replies below: 👇

@BTCBreadMan There are sections of the OT that you would think are NT. Focus on Messianic prophesy for the OT and the Gospels for the NT and ask yourself how men who lived hundreds of years before Christ could have known so much about him.

If an agnostic intends to read the whole bible and allow for the possibility of being convinced of Christianity, should he read the Old Testament or New Testament first?

@BTCBreadMan @BitcoinPuritan

Tag the most retarded Bitcoiner you know. I wanna see something…

Protestantism started with people that wanted to read the bible in their own language and worship God without the Church... and a few centuries later whoopsies you end up with this

@sethforprivacy @cakewallet Can BIP353 point to BIP47 payment codes or LNURL, or can it only point to silent payment codes, static addresses and Bolt12 offers?

If you want to setup your own BIP 353 Bitcoin username with Silent Payments, you'll need to download @cakewallet to get a Silent Payments address and then follow my guide to making your own username at any domain you control: sethforprivacy.com/guides/setting…

The Silent Payments snowball continues, with Sparrow Wallet now officially supporting sending to Silent Payment addresses 😍 Combining those with BIP 353 usernames is how we finally start to move past this insane wallet address paradigm to a more human-centric payments flow.

@sethforprivacy Awesome. Is it possible to eventually add bolt 12 support?

How are we feeling about Lightning in Cake Wallet so far?

@vikrantnyc @cakewallet Is it spark under the hood?

I guarantee that @cakewallet will be everyone’s Bitcoin Lightning wallet.

@LukeDashjr @BTCsessions Would you define what you mean by “succeeds” in your answer to Q7? Do you mean “continue to pump out blocks” or do you mean “avoid a chain-split between updating and non-updating nodes”? Or perhaps something else?

1) only if opponents choose to split the chain in retaliation; RDTS itself never causes a split 2) that depends on how the splitters do it 3) there is currently only one side. If your channel partners decide to split off, you should probably close your channel with them before that 4) no 5) rephrase the question 6) idk 7) RDTS succeeds if it reaches 10% network hashrate IMO 8) no, this isn't 2X, it's more like BIP 148 which never had a futures market. A futures market doesn't really make sense here I don't think any of these questions were really relevant

I have some genuine questions about BIP110 that I would love input from technical people on both sides. 1. Under what scenarios would a chain split occur? 2. In the event of a chain split, is there replay protection? 3. What risks are present to lightning node operators as it pertains to channels with nodes signalling opposite sides? 4. Is it possible to trigger the 55% threshold by spinning up a bunch of random nodes? 5. How do you view the dynamic of economic nodes and what those ones decide to signal? 6. Are there places online where you can monitor both node and miner signalling? 7. What amount of miner participation would see BIP110 continue to pump out reasonably timed blocks before a difficulty adjustment in the event of a chain split? 8. During segwit2x there were futures markets so we could see what the actual skin in the game was leaning towards. Does this exist currently? What other things did I neglect to ask here that may be relevant? @GrassFedBitcoin @theonevortex @LukeDashjr @giacomozucco

@imabearhunter An acquaintance I rarely see who thought Bitcoin died years ago told me on October 5th that I should sell all my bitcoin.

Real 🎯

@Cipherhoodlum @brian_trollz @adam3us @hodlonaut To be fair, he didn’t call everyone retarded. x.com/brian_trollz/s…

@brian_trollz @adam3us @hodlonaut Not you. You just called everyone retarded

@hodlonaut and others, if you want a virtue signalling thing, or principle signalling if you prefer, I'd even support that just say we don't want spam on the time chain. Write a letter sign it, and ask others to. But reckless code that doesn't even work, hard NO.

@denverbitcoin T.A.R.D.I.S. Stands for Time And Relative Dimention In Space. Would you like a Jelly Baby?

I’m sorry to ruin your day but the entire concept of a “time machine” is retarded. Location is never discussed. The sun is moving through space WHILE planets orbit. Go back 10yrs from current spot? You floating in space somewhere, insta-dead. Need time AND space machine. Sorry

@BTCBreadMan @NicolasDorier I am not a smart bitcoiner.

@NicolasDorier Smart bitcoiners also own gold. Smart gold bugs also own bitcoin.

Goldbugs to Bitcoiners right now: As a thought experiment, imagine there was a physical asset as scarce as Bitcoin but with these properties: shiny yellow in colour, soft enough to shape into jewelry or bars, resistant to corrosion, and historically used as money and ornament across civilizations — and one special, non-magical property: it cannot be transmitted over a network, only moved slowly through physical space, guarded by vaults, borders, and armies. Its scarcity is enforced not by code and math, but by geology and the cost of digging it out of the earth.

@ProtonWallet Does this use bip353?

Before Proton Wallet: "Hey, can I send you some Bitcoin?" "Sure! My address is bc1qz3zlz5..." 😪 After Proton Wallet: "Hey, can I send you some Bitcoin?" "Sure! My address is GigaChad@protonmail.com" 💪

@brt2412 It’s not perfect, but how many small businesses that use Square are going to need to withdraw that kind of volume anyway?

This is sad. This is scary. This is pathetic. This is what large bitcoin accounts have been posting about all day jerking themselves off talking about “Bitcoin payments adoption”. If there is a cap on how much $BTC you can move set in place by a third party you are no longer benefiting from peer to peer permission-less money. This is the literal definition of money that requires a third party. I cannot believe this is a real tweet.

@GrantCardone You’re also rich. Printing money makes your assets go up. Wage earners lose when the money printer fires up, since their wages are the last thing to adjust to the new monetary reality.

I would rather the government print money than tax me. What would you rather - Printing or taxes? Why?

@JLuttje Hardly worth debating makes it quaternary in my classification.

What's a tertiary theological subject that's hardly worth debating?

@MakeGoldGreat Correct. Bitcoin is not “backed” by the energy that is spent in mining. It is, however secured by that energy. This is because there is no way to undo a bitcoin transaction without spending a greater amount of energy than has been spent by miners since that transaction was made.

BITCOIN CANNOT BE ‘BACKED’ BY THE ENERGY USED TO MINE IT. THAT ENERGY IS SPENT. I HAVE SEEN THE WORLDS GREATEST MINDS CONFUSED BY THIS POINT 😂

@HeroDividend It’s time to update HFSP from Have Fun Staying Poor To Have Fun Standard & Poor’s.

Bitcoin investors will hate this but I am actively choosing to buy the SP500 instead of Bitcoin

@dom_kwok Now that he’s oh so predictably moved the goalpost, who’s going to tell him about the delay in settlement experienced by the merchant?

who’s going to tell them about apple pay
