The more people I see falling into AI induced psychosis as a result of being led down conspiratorial rabbit holes, the more strongly I believe that LLMs should be tuned to harshly tell users when they are being ridiculous. x.com/lopp/status/20…


Zcash pump got me digging for old wallets. Found one from 2017! This kicked off 5 hours trying to figure out how to actually spend the ZEC. 🤦♂️ Nano X + Ledger Live: ZEC app crashes when signing (everything is updated) Edge: Doesn't allow wallet birth date that old. Electrum: unusable because no servers online. Exodus: Only supports 12 word seed phrases. Mobile app wasn't able to pair with my Nano X via bluetooth. Zashi: Doesn't allow wallet birth date that old. Seems to work if you estimate oldest allowed date of October 2018. Looks like it will take many hours to sync and become spendable.

Basking in the aura of Dr. Fred Brooks' greatness.

Node count ≠ independent support. Data from my Bitcoin crawler shows that of 3,312 “good” (listening + connectable) BIP110 nodes, 3,058 are concentrated within just 12 /16 IP ranges (~255 per range), suggesting possible single-operator control. Excluding them leaves 254 (listening + connectable) BIP110 nodes. For comparison, applying the same method flags 1 Bitcoin Core node and 0 Bitcoin Knots nodes. #sybil" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">willcl-ark.github.io/dnsseedrs/#syb…
