the core dev, lorinc, finding a critical consensus bug from sloppy coding in 110 was hilarious.

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

The argument that we won’t see it coming is self-defeating. If governments have an incentive to go dark, then why do they flip, and then put up the biggest billboard sign imaginable by stealing bitcoin? Imagine the US or China developing a relevant quantum computer in secret and then spoiling the secret to steal some bitcoin, ridiculous.

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.

Jade HWW sucks. Mine died after six months despite being in a waterproof ESD bag the whole time. Unacceptably terrible durability.
