i want to explain the rationale of this construction, because people are like "why not just do it all in one tx". - you have to assume the attacker has all private keys based on ec pubkeys - you are locking data behind a secret that, when revealed will allow anyone to steal funds - phase 1: lock funds for "k" blocks in a covenant that has 2 paths: forces the spender to either create a proof-of-secret ctv-locked transaction OR to a "do over" transaction. WHY? Because CTV locks outputs. You can't use it for phase 1. You need TXHASH to lock *partial* information - "auth needed, but we don't know where it's going yet". -phase 2: post a spend that follows those rules... the spend goes to a CTV and auth-locked address that will, eventually go to your real destination. - phase 3: wait!. you need to look on-chain to be sure your spend is in a block... not some attacker's spend. wait long enough that a reorg is not a concern. a reorg would allow an attacker to commit a sneaky new phase1...and steal! ... now you can safely reveal the secret and clear the CTV locked transaction to it's final destination. it doesn't matter *what* the attacker does at all. the attacker can only move funds to where CTV says it will go! what happens if an attacker "steals" by making an EVIL PHASE 2! well, they can. but remember that nice "do over" spending path? you can use it! it moves funds to an address with the same template as the original... starting the sequence over again (the attacker can post this... but... why would they?) all the attacker can do is "grief" with their nonexistent trillion dollar quantum computer. not steal. AND we get two lovely new covenants that are useful for other things besides protecting us from pseudoscience! delvingbitcoin.org/t/a-quantum-re…

This is fine.

@CatoTheElder17 @evoskuil @danoprey there's nothing "distributed" about one person spinning up 10k nodes for $3/month each.

@evoskuil @danoprey Meaningless? Globally distributed and active nodes are what separates Bitcoin from all the other shitcoins.

Your daily reminder that node existence does not imply anything about economic power. These are entirely meaningless numbers.

@0xSero vi only

I had to open this abomination today, holy fuck. How can anyone use this?????

@btcbenchmark @brian_trollz that's already true now. every terrible thing you can imagine is already encoded on chain. and it's not illegal. because what's illegal is decoding it.

@brian_trollz @simulx4 but what if jpeg makes a block non-compliant with Brazil and California age verification laws? ever think about that?

Another day of COMPLETE FUCKING SILENCE from the absolute buffoonish clowns screaming that jpegs are an existential threat to Bitcoin. (hint: they aren't, THIS SHIT IS)

@OSUFanBigTime @theswansjr where did you invent that loopy rule. if a gov is on a gold standard, then you *have* to use gold - or fiat backed by gold. one or the other.

@simulx4 @theswansjr Remember if we are on the gold standard. You can’t own gold. What happens if you don’t have enough money to buy a house?

The greatest scam was convincing people that fiat decay = economic growth.

@OSUFanBigTime @theswansjr on the standard usually means fiat-backed-by these days. but sure. you can just carry your bars of gold to the escrow... whatever.

@simulx4 @theswansjr Remember if we are on the gold standard. You can’t own gold

Banning it will be hard, but buying into a Subversive ETF is easy. Our actively managed funds are based on the actual trade activity of Congress.

@OSUFanBigTime @theswansjr sell your gold and buy the house but just don't hold on to cash ever

@theswansjr If I want to buy a nicer house and our economy is based on gold. How will I be able to do so?

accidently typed in gail.com instead of gmail, and its my new favorite website.

@w_s_bitcoin @OrangePilledca cursor style?

@OrangePilledca A few too many beers mixed with approving a bunch of shit an agent wanted to do without checking it first.

Most of my bitcoin visualizations, 5 years of work, have been deleted. No recent back ups...I'm a retard. Trying to recover what I can, which isn't much. Don't think my site will update anymore so I might rug it until I piece together at least some of what was originally on there

@zaraistastys 3 is easy if your product is any good 1 is hard, imo

SaaS/app builders: what’s harder? 1. getting your first 10 users 2. getting people to pay 3. keeping them long term year 1 feels like survival mode lol

@beagewill @mattworkman It's quite the opposite. The less it costs the less they are able to control. That's why every billionaire in the world is demanding that governments regulate AI they don't want you to use it they want them to use it

@mattworkman I guess my parting shot is this, don't help capital owners exploit you. large companies can afford to pay for production costs, in fact it's in their long term interest to do so. the more we enable degradation of our work for a bottom line the more capital owners will exploit us.

people who “hate Gen AI” may not realize that most filmmakers cannot afford a cinema camera, lens, 4x lights, and grip equipment to make a shot that looks 1/10 as good as a 10 cent Gen AI shot I’m a die hard live action cinematographer in my heart, but I know the math I’ve also worked in 3D/Games for a long time and it’s similar that most can’t afford the computer hardware and lack access to the training to make again shots that looks 1/100 as good as the sloppiest AI gen image Consumer and gamer takes on this issue, I ignore. People in production see the state of live action production AND in 3D/VFX business and can also do math

AI for editing I don’t see the vision. But CapCut and Resolve and I assume soon FCPX will be testing stuff. I find Gen AI lovely. I can go from thought to visual that moves and talks in less than an hour. What a dream. I get paid for VERY tedious 3D work still and I’m on live action shoots every week. And I’m constantly comparing in my head how I’d use AI to do the same job.

This is a pretty obvious understanding for me most people think LLMs are like some end game but really they're just the beginning

@MGhookasia41033 ok
