“Self-defense”

I have yet to see a time-warp failure mode that is exploitable if the relative warp was limited to some small percentage. Part of the forward blocks proposal was to put in place such a limit. BIP-54 is instead absolute: no more X% deviation from wall-clock time, ever. This completely cuts off the only known method for completely backwards and forwards compatible on-chain scaling, for no advantage. The relative warp fix is just as simple and targeted. It is sneaking in "no on-chain scaling, ever" under the guise of a bug fix, when there is an alternative way the bug could be fixed that doesn't block off that possibility. I don't think we need on-chain scaling now. I don't think we need it for the next 5-10 years. But bitcoin is forever, and the current limitations will not scale to 8 billion self-custody users.

Somewhere there is a man who quit his tax job to open a bakery, and everybody around him talked about it like someone died. his wife was terrified. the bakery is probably failing, the lights are on late and he looks tired. but he was different before. he used to stand like he was waiting for permission to be in a room. now he just stands there. the bakery is going under, probably, but whatever was missing from that man for fifteen years came back. and everybody is so busy feeling sorry for him that nobody noticed he is the only person who actually likes mornings now. for whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will find it.

@kompreni Fake and gay

@jamesob What does f&g mean

Tether is extremely f&g Basically the anti-Bitcoin

@denverbitcoin Fun games to play when you can meaningfully move a market as deep as $CL

83 minutes apart. Absolutely hysterical.

@markgoodw_in 5000% man. "Ghoul" is actually the perfect descriptor

yall gotta stop humanizing this absolute ghoul

@newzealandhodl @giacomozucco We have not historically gotten along

@Ricky_Durds It's a CBDC - it's the vehicle for dollarizing the world and the most viable way of propping up the treasury market, which is maybe the single most evil device in the world today

@jamesob Can you elaborate? Curious where your head is at. I like to think that Jack Mallers is a good dude and since he’s potentially going to be intertwining strike with them it has a decent size impact on people.

@psilocyberbully @Pears_p2p No idea, haven't looked at it. Would be very skeptical of anything they fund but at the same time it's possible they have so much money to blast out that some of it winds up going to good efforts

@jamesob What do you think of the @Pears_p2p stuff? I find it technically fascinating, but Im incredibly uncomfortable by how much Tether funding goes into it and how much paolo pushes it

Does it get any plainer?

@arbedout This is hilarious

Today if you mention 'tokens' in conversation to anyone that works in software, the word has a completely different meaning than it did five years ago. Like the whole thing never happened

@Ghost2_elsha256 Check out Gaza. Jesus was the first Christian. You could always follow suit.

@jamesob A fellow Talmud enjoyer, and a goy at that. Good for you! I see you live in the US. Care to explain how the US “applies a different system of ethics to goyim”? And How frustrated are you that Jesus was a Jew?

I'm not hateful, I don't want violence of any kind I'm just tired of being a tax slave for an ethnocentric regime that - destroys our currency with trillions in debt to slaughter masses of innocents on the other side of the world, - blackmails our politicians with p*dophilia and assassination, - undermines our culture with degeneracy, - applies a different system of ethics to goyim, and - hates Christ

@Ghost2_elsha256 Nice bio. You should try reading the Talmud

@jamesob You have to be the dumbest bitcoin developer out there. “Applies a different system of ethics to goyim” 😂

@puckberley Maybe it's time for a little more populism. The war in Iran is wildly unpopular. In hindsight, so is the war in Iraq. Who brought those things on, and why?

@jamesob don't think that's what's going on here james. but this type of scapegoating is a strategy that has been used for centuries as one of the most effective means of populist control known to man.

@GreaserRichard @newzealandhodl The whole point of the tweet is that I don't like that

@jamesob @newzealandhodl Personally I would never associate myself with organized crime and individuals who sacrifice children to Moloch but if you want to continue to, carry on

Why are we in Iran? Where did Epstein come from? What happened to Thomas Massie?

@GreaserRichard @newzealandhodl I think you are deep in a semantic rabbithole. I thought it was pretty obvious that I meant "the US military is attacking Iran"

@jamesob @newzealandhodl Israel controls the US government (Until Memorial Day) and as goys and not being government employed, the use of “We” is inappropriate unless you want to saddle yourself with the karmic debt of their actions

@GreaserRichard "we" = "US forces"

@jamesob Oh glad you’re not there with the family. It’s not safe. Oh so you are talking about the occupational force taking your stuff. Strange to use the word “we” to describe them
