I actually have a friend who believes in more than just chem trails, he also believes in a flat earth, fake moon landing, mystical energy sources, and other crap. Yeah, I think he is crazy, but he is a nice guy and I enjoy his company......
I have lots of friends like that too! They are stark raving bonkers. Thank goodness they are all just anonymous online fellow posters on this here famous Bitcointalk.org forum... ......
By the way @sirazimuth - "This World is Ours" is my favourite of the songs you have shared with us. Good stuff!
edit: Okay, "Wild and Free" has it beat but I was thinking of the acoustic songs.
Thank you @homer. fyi "Wild and Free" was the last recording we made as a band (Family) in 1990. And my personal favorite studio recording. Words, music, guitars, vocals...Eph (RIP my friend. I miss you everyday. But your music will live on.) Bass... sirazimuth Drums ...CO Funny story about the "Wild and Free" session. I recently sent the track to the drummer who hadn't heard it for years. It jogged his memory and he confessed there may have been a drum hardware issue on the last verse. Back then we were on a tight budget so he didn't say anything and let it fly, as he felt good about how he played it. I thought the drum sound was great and commented to him "I like how you just changed it up a little on last verse. That was awesome!" And he was like "that's because I broke the hi hat on the last verse, but didn't say anything because no one noticed."... lol, memories Its only a model
I'm surrounded by freaks! Takes one to know one!   |

... if you remind yourself how many people still believe in $$$ (fiat) for such a long time on this planet, the a$$hole-to-bitcoiner ratio turns out clearly in their favour "favour".
Opinions are not facts ...
 Lol, The amount of times this has literally happened to me. These days I swing much more to the right. ..... In this particular scenario, yes, I swing to the extreme right.... (from the perspective of the observer, mind you) |

been polishing old pieces, because free time, new garage, etc... (still working on the other side)  One thing I found when you have a piece polished to a near mirror finish, (not this one) it's damn near impossible to snap a pic without breaking op sec, lol |

I really hope that doesn't happen. While i am not against using ChatGPT to help answer question, i think a straight copy and paste isn't the best way to utilize such a powerful tool.
There is a post earlier in the thread that pointed towards the lowering of overall IQ. I don't think that trend is going to reverse anytime soon, especially with the advent of ChatGPT and AI.
I mean, did you really understand what Segwit and Taproot is? based on the answer above?, if not, then how would you expect someone else too, right?...
And if you did understand it, i would have really, really, appreciated the response more, if you took the time and wrote what you thought it was/is, based on the ChatGPT response or research you had conducted.
Agreed on your points. However the AI genie is out of the bottle now, and its only going to become more prolific in time, and smarter as the masses train it.(or dumber, as the case maybe) So my attitude is may as well get used to it. I just treat it like a search engine on steroids. I find that the response you elicit is only as good as the input. Garbage in, garbage out, if you will. As long as it's quoted and not a response to some dumbass question, I don't have an issue with it. In moderation of course. (ATTN twatter newbs... please don't read this an invitation to start chatgpt spamming the thread, thank you.) |

..... Okay. I have a question. Is Taproot Upgrade is Smart Contract? How Taproot upgrade helped Bitcoin? I am puzzled after reading some articles. Maybe it is because I am not understanding how it works. One article said the Taproot upgrade enables verifying multiple signatures at once. Another article said it's a smart contract upgrade. How it's related to SegWit? Wasn't SegWit upgraded before the Taproot upgrade? SegWit departs the signatures data. The block already contains more data after the SegWit Upgrade. So, what Taproot did do?
Sounds kind of technical for these here parts, but hey? maybe some guy might be willin to go down the 'splainin path with you, but not this here cat. i am too busy with non-technical matters.. or at least I see that there are a variety of wallet option types and some support legacy only, or legacy segwit or segwit with bech 32 or taproot (I think in that order), and I fucking have hardly any clue regarding when to use which, even though it seems that I have been using bech 23 addresses a lot recently and it got me into a bit of quagmire once (just last week when I sent a legacy segwit to a bech 32 address and then it kind of got lost for a while - did not go through.. yet I was able to send it again (after about 4 days of my wondering where the transaction had gone.. it was a decently sized transaction.. just saying.. but whatever all is good in JJG landia in regards to not having had lost those BTC that I had tried to send from a legacy segwit to a segwit with bech 32 address.. whatever the fuck that means? #justsaying)... Taproot is not a smart contract in the traditional sense, but it is an upgrade to Bitcoin's scripting language that can enable more advanced smart contract functionality. Taproot is a soft fork upgrade that was activated on the Bitcoin network in November 2021.
One of the main benefits of the Taproot upgrade is that it improves Bitcoin's privacy and security by allowing more complex transactions to be executed while appearing as a simple transaction on the blockchain. This is achieved through a technique called "Merkleized Abstract Syntax Trees" (MAST), which allows multiple possible spending conditions to be hidden within a single transaction, making it difficult for external parties to determine which conditions were actually used.
Taproot also enables the implementation of advanced multi-signature schemes, which can be used to enhance the security of Bitcoin transactions. With Taproot, multiple signatures can be aggregated into a single signature, reducing the amount of data needed to be stored on the blockchain. This reduces transaction fees and allows for more efficient use of Bitcoin's limited block space.
In terms of its relationship to SegWit, Segregated Witness (SegWit) was a previous soft fork upgrade that was activated on the Bitcoin network in August 2017. SegWit separated the transaction signature data from the transaction data, which allowed for more transactions to be included in each block. Taproot builds upon SegWit by further optimizing the way transactions are structured and by enabling more advanced smart contract functionality.
In summary, Taproot is an upgrade to Bitcoin's scripting language that enhances privacy, security, and scalability while enabling more advanced smart contract functionality. It builds upon the benefits of SegWit by further optimizing transaction structure and enabling more complex spending conditions to be hidden within a single transaction. |

Obviously anything can still happen, but If he ends up facing multiple criminal trials (not to mention the massive civil case he's in NY for right now, or the defamation case against the woman he raped) and loses the election, he is fuccccckkkkeeeddddd.
You got that right my friend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyj1YYds2m8You know how Trump wanted to build that wall? Not sure if its the one one he wanted to build, but there is definitely a wall closing in on him...  |

Seems now Trump is under investigation for wire fraud.
The list goes on….

…….. You gotta pay more attention if you want to act like Trumps defense attorney. The payments aren't up for debate. There is no hearsay. At least not if you go by the real world definition of hearsay. In BADeckerville, things could be different, I don't know. But in the real word: Trump admitted it. His lawyer went to prison for it and has testified publicly under oath about it. And we have 10 of these:  Yeah, this indictment is just the icebreaker. The real fireworks are going to happen next month when the indictments for serious charges come to fruition, to wit Georgia election interference, instigating an insurrection and stealing classified docs with possible obstruction of justice. (apparently there is security camera footage of Trump rummaging around the docs, taking out his favorites for “keepsies.”) The DA must have been drooling while watching the Hannity interview and Trump blurting out "I had a right to take those documents!" Then Hannity is like "ok, lets move on"... lol Every day it seems some new bombshell evidence drops. And now we have the latest comical interview with Tucker (the guy who stated he "hates him passionately") to ridicule. The look on Tuckers face is priceless as Trump mindlessly rambles on (as he is prone to do) about "nuclear warming" nonsense. Not to mention his recounting about all the court people crying over his indictment and saying how sorry they were that he got indicted. What a lying piece of shit! No surprise though, that’s what he specializes in, lying. …., Your stupidity is so humiliating to even look at. ….,,, How in the world dense are you? I'm not really asking for an answer to this question. I realize that you can't begin to analyze your stupidity…. ……  Says the forum champion nonsense spammer who has threads started in his honor….. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5400571.0BTW I voted #2….. |

Why did nobody indict Clinton? SNIPPED I don’t know bud. Why did nobody indict Clinton? Make sure you start yet another asinine thread (you’re good at that) entitled “Why Did Nobody indict Clinton?” when you reply because this thread topic is Trump indictment, so GTFO with your off topic outdated whataboutism spam. |

…., I think they only change one addiction/obsession for another
Too right. Reminds me of the dude I chatted with at that retarded one meeting I attended… I asked “so how long have you been coming to meetings?” He proudly replied “25 years and counting!” I’m thinking….”Good Lord! Whatever floats your boat, man….. “ fantastic example  * xhomer checks the date he joined bitcointalk.org Whew! Not quite 10 years yet. For a second there I felt like a freak Um….Sorry to break it you homer, but you are a freak, just like the rest of us wo bro regulars……;) |

I was court ordered to AA years ago and went up there and called them all a bunch of weak willed pussies and was told I was a disrupting influence and they signed off on my court mandated meetings.
*I was pissed right off the bat when I read the steps and one of them was to accept jesus as my lord and savior and told them there is no way I was going to do that.
You knew I was meriting that post didn’t you bro? |

..... I forgot to check the price of bitcoin during dinner.
I've got my price checking addiction habit down to once a day. You need to go to a meeting bro. They start like this.... <xhomerx> (at meeting)... "Hello everyone, I'm Homer and I'm a bitcoin aholic" <Everyone else, in unison> ..... "HI HOMER!" (If one has never been to a "meeting", this post will probably go "woooosh") Dr. Lance Dodes wrote a book about that and did an interview with NPR: https://www.npr.org/2014/03/23/291405829/with-sobering-science-doctor-debunks-12-step-recovery" ...There is a large body of evidence now looking at AA success rate, and the success rate of AA is between 5 and 10 percent. Most people don't seem to know that because it's not widely publicized. ... There are some studies that have claimed to show scientifically that AA is useful. These studies are riddled with scientific errors and they say no more than what we knew to begin with, which is that AA has probably the worst success rate in all of medicine...." I went to one meeting (NA) many moons ago just to say I have. I was like “this is nonsense!” I think I was the only one in there not nodding off. What a joke. When I quit dope, the last place I wanted to be was with a gathering of chain smoking, junkie losers, reciting the same old tired sob stories. It’s enough to make one want to go use again. NA = I quit all illegal drugs by myself I don't need meetings GA = Still go after 32 years this one still scares me a bit so I do meetings ,but gambling meetings have a shit ton of energy to them. Nic A = Went from 1996 to 2001 so no smoking I don't need meetings AA = was forced to go in the USN long complex story reality is I needed GA I still drink on Occasion but drinking is not an issue. OA = 1 meeting and basically fuck that shit they were real zombies. I weighed 256 in 1996 when I went . I weigh 205 now. SO of all of the above: Nic A did help me to quit smoking . And GA was very helpful still is. Success rates under 10% from my observations in GA and Nic A. I did 2000+ GA meetings and a few hundred Nic A meetings. Whoa! It seems you may have a <fill in blank> anonymous meetings addiction. Is there an anonymous community with meetings for that too? |

Go figure... You can't make this shit up. (oh wait, actually those ancient bible folks did make this shit up, lol) Not complaining, mind you... my kid loved it back in the day. GO BITCOIN |

Ever notice in political discussions, folks will use that worn out cliché term, "purely political" if they don't want to address the issue at hand?
Because you know... like it doesn't count, because it's "purely political", whatever dafuc that means...

....I’d suggest you open your eyes. Clinton lied under oath about cigar banging an intern. Biden has nearly started world war three....
Whataboutism at it's finest. |
