1  Other / Serious discussion / I feel played by the Bitcoin ecosphere. on: April 06, 2025, 01:24:41 PM
I've had a weird relationship with Bitcoin lately.
I think about community developments on things such as LN , Vanity search projects, tools, tickers scrapers ECT.....
How they where developed by altruistic members for the chance of creativity, freedom and decentralized banking.

Bitcoin is now a store of value ,a commodity of fiat held by institutional parties.

Major altruistic contributors , sidelined. Some got tips. Most got nothing. 

If fees stay at 1 Satoshi , will LN/Layer 2 really be necessary?  What happens when we are all mined up, no one sells and only holds, and the mining fees don't cover the electric bill. Bitcoins showing signs of fatigue and stagnation overall. Will it die ,I don't think so, but Bitcoin doesn't appear to be designed for and by cypherpunks.
If it was , wall street weaponized it.

I've dedicated a lot of my life to this particular branch of cryptography, I've learned a lot! But it kinda feels like it was for nothing at this point. I've publicly released all my crypto projects source codes and walking away from developing in this sector.

I'll still be around speculating but that's about it.
2  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Is quantum encryption pseudo science? on: February 22, 2025, 07:09:07 AM
My paradox is this.

Even if we find a form of quantum encryption,

And quantum computing scales , it renders the current encryption obsolete.

There's no shifting. No pivoting, nothing....

There is no way to apply it to current classical computing.
There's virtually infinite workarounds to "Pre-Layering"

Maybe encryption isn't what we need to be looking for in terms of security in the quantum realm.

(QKD isn't a solution. It's a closed ecosystem workaround)

7  Economy / Economics / Thoughts on service-for-asset exchange model. on: January 18, 2024, 07:50:25 PM
How would you pitch something like this to let's say a property management company if you offered general contracting services?
For example you'll renovate a house in exchange for a property/land parcel they own. Or a vehicle.in exchange to paint a dealership.
Or give service for equity/stake in a company. The possibilities are kinda limitless.
This would be done in an official capacity. Not sole proprietor.

8  Economy / Services / [WTS] Simple HTML websites for $20 on: January 17, 2024, 01:14:02 PM
Edited.

Custom HTML Websites for $20 !


I'm offering HTML websites for only $20. Perfect for a clean, professional online presence.

Vouch Copies & Demo: Grab 1 of 3 free vouch copies! Also, check out the Demo Page.
 It's not a full on website but I can put "can you do this or that?" request on it.

Domain & Hosting:
- You purchase the domain; I can manage it via DNS settings, or
- Opt for complete ownership with the raw HTML file.
- Hosting via Cloudflare (free within 25MB).

Features:
- Responsive HTML design.
- Extra pages at $5 each.
- Custom robots.txt and sitemap on request.

Why use me?
- Fast, tailored service.
- Full control over your site.
- Affordable, transparent pricing.

Pricing:
- Basic HTML website: $20
- Additional pages: $5 each

Ordering is Easy:
1. PM with your needs.
2. We finalize the design.
3. Payment $20 in BTC then I get to work.
4. Your site goes live or you get the file quickly!





HTML Structure and Content:
HTML provides the structure and content of the website. This includes text, links, images, and basic formatting. It doesn't include advanced features like animations or interactive elements that require JavaScript or other programming languages that require server-side processing.

Single Page:
A simple HTML website is a single page, meaning all the content is on one page that can be scrolled through, without the complexity of multiple pages or navigation to different sections of the site.

No Backend or Databases:
These websites will not have a backend system or a database. This means they can't handle things like user logins, storing customer data, or processing transactions internally. They are best suited for informational purposes like a personal portfolio, a landing page, or a small business brochure.

Why so cheap?:
Since these are straightforward and don't require backend or server-side processing, they are typically quicker and less expensive to develop.

Deployment on Cloudflare Pages:
Deploying on Cloudflare Pages means that your website will be hosted on Cloudflare's servers. This offers benefits like faster load times, improved security, and reduced hosting costs. It's a great way to make websites accessible to a wider audience with minimal ongoing maintenance.

Domains
You can set up your custom domain with this system as well for easy set and forget integration. Or I can assist you.

So for $20, you get a cost-effective, straightforward, and easy-to-maintain web presence that's ideal for showcasing information without the need for complex functionality or data handling. Personally, I think I'm giving more value out of the deployment itself than the html page.

Interested or have questions? Reply here or PM me.

Thanks in advance!

13  Other / Meta / Self hosted API's for regular signature editing? on: December 09, 2023, 06:34:17 PM
Would self-hosting an API (or something) that managed my signature be frowned upon?

For example, having a price ticker scape BTC price and update it in text/BB format every 30 mins via tapermonkey or something like that to my signature destination.

http://html/body/div[2]/table/tbody/tr/td[2]/form/table/tbody/tr[3]/td/table/tbody/tr[13]/td[2]/textarea

this is just one way to go about it. I could explore unofficial Api's and see what could be conjured up.

I guess my main concern is even if this is fair game, would it be frowned upon it changing so much?

I could see it potentially causing confusion in archives and stuff,
 
or just being annoying if a color changed or something every 30 mins even if I'm not posting.

I'd like to tinker with the notion though!

I've been thinking for years of something different and neat to attempt involving signatures.

14  Economy / Service Discussion / Real world side gigs for sats. on: December 05, 2023, 01:39:28 PM
I'm looking to do some side hustling for BTC and was going to experiment with some small concepts to see how they go.

These are going to be time based labor services such as rebuilding carbonators or computer/console repair.

I'd like to see some input on how you might would go about this in your area? My thoughts are to offer a special and then offer a better

discount if paid with crypto. Odds are they will be paying via cashapp or Venmo anyways , why not take advantage of that?

I'm looking to stack some sats utilizing ideas like this over the holidays if you guys would like to contribute and ideas to be tested in this

endeavor please drop it here and I'll try to utilize or implement your idea into this venture.
15  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / The Paradox of Privacy and Decentralization: Banning Mixers on Bitcointalk.org on: December 02, 2023, 02:30:54 PM


 Bitcointalk, a place of decentralized ideologies, has banned the use of mixers starting Jan 1 2024. This decision presents a fascinating irony and raises several questions about the core values of Bitcoin and the broader crypto community.

The Ideological Conflict:
At its heart, Bitcoin is a decentralized currency. Mixers, which enhance transaction privacy, seem like a natural ally to this cause. Yet, their banning on a platform dedicated to decentralization is contradictory. Does this signify a shift in the community's values, or is it a necessary compromise?

Legal and Ethical Considerations
The rationale behind banning mixers often revolves around legal compliance and preventing illicit activities. While these are valid concerns, do they justify stepping away from the principles of privacy and decentralization?

Community Response and Impact:
How has this decision been received by the broader cryptocurrency community? Does it affect the way we perceive and use Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies?

Speculating on Satoshi Nakamoto’s Perspective:
If Satoshi Nakamoto were to witness this, what would their reaction be? Would they advocate for absolute adherence to privacy and decentralization, or acknowledge the need for some regulatory measures?

The Future of Decentralization and Privacy in Cryptocurrencies:
Looking forward, how do we balance the ideals of privacy and decentralization with the practicalities of regulation and legal compliance? What developments might we anticipate in this domain?
