@WallStreetApes Those recorders suck. But it's a free freaking loaner car given to you for your convenience. You don't have to use it. Call Enterprise and rent your own car. If your privacy isn't worth $75/day to you, why should anyone else value it either?

This woman got a rental car from Audi because her car is getting repaired “You ready to see the most dystopian f*cked thing that I've seen in a long time?” The car is equipped with a cameras so massive pointing directly at you, she’s calling it the “Eye of Sauron” and it records everything you do including video, audio and more “How is it legal that a dash cam, voice record everything that you're talking about, private information? I work in medicine and I speak to patients on the phone about private health information every day, and now I can't do that in this car because Audi is recording it and listening and videotaping. And on top of that — if you're speeding, it knows and it tells you’re speeding. If you are not wearing your seatbelt properly, it tells you, seatbelt, seatbelt. It's watching, it's capturing, it's recording. I don't know how this is legal, but I wish I had known about this feature before I agreed to take this loaner car, because I would have 100% paid $700 for a rental car instead of this. I can't tell you how uncomfortable I feel in this car” I found the camera is by Lytx, it’s a company that provides video telematics and fleet safety systems to vehicles It has AI-powered driver monitoring for risky behaviors like speeding, seatbelt issues, distraction, phone use, drowsiness, harsh braking and more Event-based recording plus options for continuous recording or audio Apparently they’re now being put in luxury vehicles for dealers to protect their cars This is insane

On the real though… I’m actually back if the algorithm is truly fixed. That shit was ass. I only got titties and memes. No Bitcoin content. Only titties and memes. So I didn’t post. BUT WE ARE FUCKING BACK?!?

@Owennfa You do know Boomers were buying houses in the 80s with rates in the TEENS and TWENTIES, right?

BOOMER: “Stop renting. Buy a home.” ME: “The typical home costs around $420,000.” BOOMER: “Then finance it.” ME: “Mortgage rates are close to 7%. That’s roughly $2,800 every month before taxes and insurance.” BOOMER: “Spend less.” ME: “I cook at home, skip vacations, and drive a 2015 Civic.” BOOMER: “Take on another job.” Nobody ever suggests making housing or borrowing cheaper.

@ATL_SCOOP More like the Lawd Ha'Mercy

Residents at Gramercy at Buckhead say they’re fed up with poor living conditions at the apartment complex, citing a pool that’s out of service, overflowing trash chutes, and dirty common areas. Despite repeated complaints, residents say little to nothing has changed and they’re still dealing with the filth.

I don't know who needs to hear this but burpees are just nasty, sloppy, lazy 8-count motherfuckers.

@Bit_Faced @asanoha_gold Right. The miners caved and activated BIP-91 to avoid a UASF. If non-mining node had no power there would have been no reason for the miners to cave. I think they'll cave again and start mining BIP-110 compliant blocks. We'll see!

@GhettoCode @asanoha_gold BIP148 never activated. The miners caved.

Knots 29.3 is currently the #1 most popular Bitcoin client version. I have seen zero evidence or proof of Sybil Knots nodes, have you?

This is hilarious. You supported BIP-148. Which succeeded. Due to the credible threat of a user-activated soft fork. Yet you stay stuck on the idea that non-mining nodes (even those of major exchanges, custodians, payment processors, merchants) have no power. See you in August, bro. I'm out.

I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the network operates. There is no risk. If some percentage of non-mining nodes rejected blocks from miners, they would simply boot themselves off of the network. No one would notice. If some percentage of miners rejected blocks from other miners, then there would be a chain split.

@Bit_Faced @asanoha_gold Why would miners risk not activating and mining blocks that will be rejected by [some percentage] of the network when they can easily activate and mine blocks that will be accepted by both networks? That's it. That's the question.

@GhettoCode @asanoha_gold What exactly is your question?

@Bit_Faced @asanoha_gold You're still ignoring the question. Or hiding from it, I'm not sure.

@GhettoCode @asanoha_gold 51% of miners colluding is called consensus.

Hypothetically, let's say Coinbase decides to enable BIP-110. Then after activation, A block that violates BIP-110 would be invalid. Coinbase's nodes would refuse to follow that chain. Coinbase would not credit deposits that exist only on that rejected chain. Hash power is not a factor and the miner still has a bigass problem. But I'm not even sure why you're harping on that point when I said, let's assume you're right and it's ALL about hash power. You're still ignoring the risk miners face of a majority of miners colluding to activate last minute and leave them on the non-activating chain (which will now have less hash power due to the defectors). Mining margins are so thin this could easily bankrupt borderline profitable miners. Why take that risk when mitigation is so simple?

@GhettoCode @asanoha_gold There is only a single metric used to determine majority decisions. And that’s hash rate. If you don’t have a hash rate, the only way to “vote” is by selling your coins. So, non-mining nodes only have influence in a fiat standard.

@Bit_Faced @asanoha_gold I'm not sure how you think this invalidate what I've said. Perhaps you can expound a little bit. I guess I'm just too dense to noodle it out for myself.

@GhettoCode @asanoha_gold Read this entire section several times. Then read the first line of the second paragraph a few more times.

That's not absolutely true in the case of nodes power exchanges, financial processors, etc. But let's say it is. That's where the game theory really gets fun. You think the large miners wouldn't love to annhialate one another? What's to prevent a group from teaming up with several other miners to turn on BIP 110 at the last moment to try and pull a fast one on other miners they hope will not turn it on and thus end up on a shorter chain with less hash power? Simply rejecting the spammy bullshit completely removes all risk. Will miners turn it on? I have no idea. But the way I see it, there's no downside (to THEM) for doing so and considerable risk to not doing so. If I had a bazillion dollars invested in mining, I just don't know why I wouldn't turn it on, even if I thought it was a useless change.

@GhettoCode @asanoha_gold Non-mining nodes can’t reject blocks. Doing so would boot themselves from the network.

To miners. The more nodes there are running BIP 110 the higher the chance their block will be rejected by an economically important node, costing them a shitload of money. Simply turning on BIP-110 removes all that risk with no downside to them. So why would they not turn it on? Exactly. They will.

@GhettoCode @asanoha_gold “Well, because for a user activated soft fork, the number of nodes signalling BIP 110 does matter.” To who?

@Bit_Faced @asanoha_gold Well, because for a user activated soft fork, the number of nodes signalling BIP 110 does matter. But that has nothing to do with "one IP one vote" or the section of the white paper you highlighted.

@GhettoCode @asanoha_gold The OP is counting IP addresses. Not CPUs that are proving work. There is an easy way to measure CPUs: hash rate.

@Bit_Faced @asanoha_gold Perhaps if Bitcoin was one-ip-one-vote you could claim that but it's not, it's proof-of-work. Exactly as Satoshi said in the white paper. Not sure what you're missing, here.

@asanoha_gold You realize you guys are literally trying to subvert the network with IP addresses exactly as Satoshi warned against in the white paper, right?
