@CryptoCyberia I assume @gentoo keeps considering "making a decision for a user is a bug", and after some bug reports we'll see a use-flag for it. That would be good, then I could permanently disable it, and any package that needs or provides for it can get blocked to avoid accidental installs.

@millennialzoom I'd be OK even with a step to 10-minute blocks, just to do all changes that is impacted by block heights and block speeds switched over technically to something else. That said, if research shows 1-minute blocks is the "good number", going to it right away is also OK.

@monsterbitar Are you more likely to support 2 minute blocks right off the get go or would you prefer a slower rollout such as 5 minute blocks and work our way down to 1 minute blocks?

Once again I find myself waiting for a payment to clear before heading out for some errands. 25 minutes since last block. Looking forward to continued discussion on lower BCH block times, to see how/if we can address this in a good way.

@kishniev I dunno. From all I've seen it's running quite great but statistically there should be deviations more than half an hour at least once a day. If, like me, you make transactions regularly you're bound to hit them. that aside, 10 min block is still pretty bad by modern standards.

@monsterbitar Few days ago I waited 70 minutes for a block. BCH network outputs 10 blocks for 30 minutes, or 1 block per hour. Nothing in between. DAA needs a serious overhaul. Switching to 2 minute blocks is the nuclear option.

@jongoose69 0-conf is great, but not all services accept zero-conf, and that's fine. They should be allowed to choose what risk profile to take. This one wanted one confirmation.

The European Union is requiring cameras inside all cars manufactured after July of 2026! Complete surveillance is right around the corner and it’s not just about the cameras. This may only be in Europe this year, but it will be everywhere soon!

@mullvadnet doing more for freedom, liberty and humanites generall well-being than our elected leaders have in decades. You can't stop an idea whose time has come.
Mullvad.net@mullvadnet

Our TV ads – under the concept And Then? – were banned in the UK, by Clearcast (an organization formed by the major TV channels in the UK which, on behalf of the authorities, must approve all TV advertising in the UK). Their arguments included: · “The overall concept lacks clarity.” · “It is unclear why certain examples are included, who the ‘speaker’ represents, and the role of individuals depicted in the car.” · “Several examples (e.g., paedophiles, rapists, murderers) risk causing serious offence and could imply that the VPN facilitates criminal activity.” · “Referencing topics such as: Paedophiles, Rapists, Murderers, Enemies of the state, Journalists, Refugees, Controversial opinions, People’s bedrooms, Police officers, Children’s headsets … is inappropriate and irrelevant to the average consumer’s experience with a VPN.” We think their arguments are nonsense. On the one hand, censorship and mass surveillance are escalating in the UK, through new laws, government pressure and proposed legislation. On the other hand, criticism of censorship and mass surveillance is being blocked through processes that are arbitrary and – to use their own words – unclear. When we tried to criticize the TV ads ban through outdoor ads, they were also banned by government bodies. We believe the situation is both Orwellian and Kafkaesque. You can watch all the banned ads and read more about escalating mass surveillance and censorship in the UK on our site: mullvad.net/and-then/uk And then? When our ads were banned on British TV, we took them to the streets instead and projected them onto walls in London.

The Town Square Test Can you walk into the center of your city, say what you actually believe, and go home safely? That's it. That's the whole test. Sharansky called societies that pass it "free societies." He called those that fail it "fear societies." Simple. Precise. Devastating in its implications.

@SiriusBShaman tax is not the collection mechanic, but the lipstick on the pig needed to keep people not looking at the money creation. we have no one but ourselves to blame, as we continue to accept their fiat - taking responsibility is to reject their money and defend the value of our labor.

The world is $300 trillion in debt. To whom? To banks. To institutions. To entities that produce nothing, grow nothing, build nothing, have never built anything, and could not survive a single honest day in the market they feed from. The debt of the entire human race, every nation, every farm, every factory, every hour of human labour ever wrung from a human body, owed to men who created the money they lent from nothing. From policy. From decree. From the same dark authority a priest invokes when he declares the sacrifice acceptable. You cannot be in debt to something that conjured the currency. That is not debt. That is a curse dressed in contract law. Tax is the local collection mechanism of this architecture. You pay tax. The government takes tax. The government services the debt with tax. The debt flows to the lenders. The lenders created the money from nothing. Your labour, your risk, your sleepless years building something real, converted into numbers that service a balance that should not exist, held by men who never once touched the thing you built. The parasite does not hate you. That would require acknowledging you. You are simply the host. The arrangement is impersonal. The extraction is systemic. The men at the top of this structure have not thought about you once. You are a flow on a spreadsheet. A tithe schedule. A yield. The people feed the fire. The priests of Baal file the paperwork. The god grows fat. And the people are told this is civilisation. But the spell only holds while the people believe it. The priest has no power over the man who walks past the altar without stopping. The tithe only flows from the man who accepts he owes it. The fire dies when the people stop bringing wood. Baal is not defeated by war. He is defeated by recognition. By the moment a man looks at the priest, looks at the fire, looks at the invoice in his hand, and says: I made this. You made nothing. And I do not owe you my life. That is the ending the priests cannot file paperwork against.

@BitcoinSapiens You say that, but even though I do, I doubt you will, as I am a proud BCH user competing with you on value and network effect. Disclaimer: I assume based on context that this is the block header, but I haven't actually verified it myself. If I am right though, my machines have.

@zquestz @oliver_drk I assume within a year or two that there'll be real-time customizable version of this, letting us pick essentially any game, movie or art and then apply the style to any other game move or art in real-time. Resurgence of emulators will be wild :)

MUST WATCH: Robert Breedlove explains how $6 trillion of new money in 2020 equals 100 million years of stolen labor, or 2 million human lifetimes. One of the clearest metaphors for inflation ever given.
