you're saying maxis aren't supposed to use bitcoin for what it was actually made to do?

He might mean this.



Or this.

The Central Bank of Nigeria is pushing for wider CBDC adoption by limiting ATM cash withdrawals and changing banknotes for lower denomination ones.

As a result, demand for $BTC is skyrocketing and price reached a 40% premium.

🇳🇬 Nigerians don’t want CBDC, they want #Bitcoin 

https://twitter.com/BitcoinMagazine/status/1622340350198136833?t=a01ntz9U9Dpjh5m72G7COw&s=19

CBDCs are just another scamming cunt criminal government invention based on nothing, no limitation, nada.

Zimbabwe should have adopted one, then it could have had a digital hundred billion dollar note.

I'm probably wrong but this stupid Chinese balloon story has many hallmarks of a media psy-op for distraction

It's been shot down now anyway.

I've had some time to sleep and think on this, now, and the more I think about it, I'm just left terrified about the implications this ordinal stuff has for Bitcoin.

I see it as a very real existential threat.

I sincerely hope I am dead wrong.

I'm not an expert when it comes to this new Ordinal thing and how it is implemented, but the possibility of "polluting" the Blockchain with bad data got me seriously worried. The issue here is not so much that it is possible for someone to insert child pornography and/or top-secret defense documents in the Blockchain (which in itself is unsettling), but the fact that the Blockchain is immutable and thus cannot be altered, and this is by design. So, this offensive/sensitive data will have to be there forever, and this could provide a strong reason for TPTB to attack/ban Bitcoin "for the common good".

I assume that, if this ever becomes a problem, it should be possible to handle via a fork, with the new code base removing this feature and also somehow removing all offensive/sensitive content. Said fork will have near-full consensus, so it will become the new, sanitized Bitcoin. The Bitcoin ecosystem should be able to handle this. Another battle, another win for Bitcoin.

Still, all this mess upsets and worries me. Hopefully, Bitcoin will come out of this stronger than ever, as it has done so many times.

I've read nothing about this so I'm probably just going to sound stupid but has this been done on other chains? ETH for example?

What I'm getting at is why hasn't it happened yet...


It has. This is from 2016.

Cryptograffiti.info is a web service that allows people to encode hidden messages into Bitcoin’s blockchain using a special online interface. It has recently added a new and possibly revolutionary functionality — JPG image writing to the blockchain.

Quote
How Does CryptoGraffiti Work?

A visitor can type their message into the text field, pay some bitcoin, and after 1-10 minutes see the message decoded from the blockchain and displayed on the CryptoGraffiti site, along with other messages from the anonymous Bitcoiners.

Untill June 17, 2016, users were only able to send text messages to the blockchain. But now it is possible to have JPG images written to the blockchain alongside text messages.

The images can be up to 50KB in size. And, once the process of publishing to the blockchain is complete, no one on the planet is able to censor, delete or rewrite the information entered by users — it is saved in the blocks forever.

Since it’s the first service in the Bitcoin ecosystem that implements automated image writing to the blockchain, Bitcoin.com reached out to CryptoGraffiti’s creator, Erich Erstu (nickname Hyena), to ask him a few questions about his vision of the task and its possible outcomes for the Bitcoin community.

https://cryptograffiti.info/

Here's its thread. Hyena (the OP) hasn't logged in here since 2021, but his site's still online.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=524877.0

He switched to using BSV, so he won't be writing any more images to Bitcoin's blockchain.

i have found out that bitcoin forked and cryptograffiti uses "bitcoin cash" which seem less popular than "bitcoin". how many miners bitcoin cash has? how much reliable is this? are messages saved there are now going to be provable to be indeed not changed by 51% attack?

Actually CryptoGraffiti.info now features only the Original BitCoin (BSV)...

I think I’m 5.

Let me guess JJG’s position? Is it 8 lol or 6.

El Dude 7

H-TEC99 and ivomm definitely 3

Many on stage 2 … I guess… BitcoinBunny, LFC_Bitcoin, cygan

BobLawblaw  8

AlcoHoDL 6 confirm

I’m sure no one from WO is on stage 4

I didn’t understand 9?

For some medication it's easier to gradually reduce the dose rather than suddenly quit. But I'm not a doctor. Don't rely on my advice because WTF do I know?

Probably you don't know much.

...

You're best off getting medical advice from a doctor.

I had some experiences like this in the past, when i was mis/underdiagnosed.
I'd try to get some natural help, for example 5HTP and L-Tyrosin, maybe some Ashwagandha extract too (If you don't get a sore throat from the latter, like a few other people).
Even if it makes you feel only -5/10 it's worth it.

I was giving Rick a long-winded brain-dump approximating the physical sensations, and came up with the following paraphrase.

"It's like all my neurons and synapse pairs are playing a unique high-speed game of Tetris, with only 6 lines of movement room to work with. Every time I want to make a move, every synapse pair has to pause, write out to disk the entire state of the game, and load it back up to the next nearest synapse pair. Unpause the game, and repeat for the next move across every synapse pair in your stupid gray matter.

Also, I'm not sure how this sensation is even possible to contemplate, but my stomach seems to have found a way to turn itself inside out.

Oh, did I mention these axe-splitting headaches?

Furthermore, why is the ground underneath my feet so wobbly? WTF is going on, dude?"


Bleh. It sucks, but I gotta get through this.

Self-improvement by removing an entire combo class of pharmaceuticals out of my system after a couple decades of directed use.

Time to get entirely clean for ranch life (again, and for the rest of our unnatural lives...)

Have been absolutely alcohol sober for quite some time now, and finding I'm really enjoying life a lot more.

For some medication it's easier to gradually reduce the dose rather than suddenly quit. But I'm not a doctor. Don't rely on my advice because WTF do I know?

penis = pen  is

Had to see this photo at least five times to figure out the mistake.

Thanks for the laugh.

This site sometimes gets mistaken for something rude.

https://www.penisland.net/

It's a pefectly respectable site called Pen Island that sells pens.



I don't think their logo was an accident though







That reminds me of this chicken van's logo.

But right on the landing page they specialize in wood.

I miss the old bob he would have like this line of thought.

There's also a brewing company with the same name.
