If it doesn’t have in app unilateral exit, it’s custodial, period. This is not negotiable. If something is not implemented then it simply doesn’t exist for the average user. 99.99999% of Spark users don’t even know a CLI app exists let alone how to use it. Without local caching and unilateral exit actually implemented in the app and having hard dependency on operator cooperation to exit then it’s custodial. Listen I actually like Spark and think it makes reasonable tradeoffs in a world without covenants, but as it stands it’s a custodial product. Happy to revise this once we see an actual implementation of unilateral exit and more operators and LSPs, but it’s just the honest reality today.

Quantum is a fake and gay VC scam until it can factor a random three digit integer. Until then my young kids are smarter.

Mid and upper models of Flair Espresso maker are plastic free in the brewing areas and around $400-500. Tradeoff is it’s manual but that is just more proof of work. Pair with a metal hot water kettle and you’re all set.

What is the use case for Arca versus an Umbrel? Umbrel for picture and non sensitive storage and Arca can save highly sensitive items like passwords or seeds?

easy for Bitkey to not show seeds by default, but allow you to access them behind a scary advanced user don’t give this to anyone for any reason warning. Just refusing to provide any seed access at all is disappointing.

BIP 361 is theft. Any incoherent equivocation to the contrary should be ridiculed. I’m fine with a new optional address format WITHOUT theft.

With love to the lady from MIT, this is the most brain dead quantum take possible. There are so many quantum mitigation schemes and papers coming out that you cannot even realistically keep up. Saying that no one cares, no one is working on it, or not enough resources are devoted is absolutely insane. If anything I’d argue too many resources are devoted to a threat that has never demonstrated any physical scaling and is objectively dumber at math than a fifth grader.

110 is an attack on Bitcoin. Doesn’t mean Core is perfect either.

We are supposed to burn coins because ~5% of supply might be sold? Retarded. That happens in stocks all the time and no one says NVDA needs to but shares. If a quick large dump of Bitcoin scares you then Lengthen your time horizon.
