Looks like it. It appears that Maxim Orlovsky is moving forward with it as well as a decentralized file storage solution over LN.

If it's possible I am fine with helping to make it happen. I just need to read the specs over and over again until it all clicks. I am still a bit hazy on the details of LN outside of the big picture so I have a lot of work ahead of me.

Latest thing I started playing with is Spectrum and RGB...colored coins for the Lightning Network. I have been trying to figure out how this can be done for quite a while, it appears someone has figured it out. So I will be delving deeply into the guts to figure it all out.

I am looking at decentralized partial ownership structures for titling seastead homes.

While there are shitcoin solutions, they will come and they will go. I would rather have something that is very likely to last at least 100 years like Bitcoin will.

It's a US government thing. I know in the military world every company owner is a woman, usually a minority and usually a veteran. When the government awards contracts they are required to have a certain percentage of their contracts to minority groups. It's like you get points for each one. Veteran, female, minority (more points for certain minorities).

So what happens is a man wants to create a business so he puts his wife down as the "owner". She sits at home drinking lattes while he's out there building a business.

Who knows, maybe some women are starting their own business. But you will never know because of the incentive.

Someone accidentally uses CC instead of BCC in their newsletter and now they have "Massive" problems?

Some scary shit right there.

No Haiku today. Sorry, I just don't have time. I wish I did though.

Must be nice to live in a country where you can use bitcoin to pay for things online.

The US is stuck with BitPay where you can't pay with bitcoins without installing some obscure wallet and paying BitPay extra fees while they advertise bcash with zero fees.

There is also 3 times more hurricane free ocean than all habitable land in the world.

We have quite the space to expand.

Before space.

Price always drops at the end of the month. We just need to survive a few more days of low prices.

Please do not let this get out but if there is anything I fear as a capitalist, libertarian, anti government free radical is the possibility of all of the liberals and governments buying all of my bitcoins.

I wake up nightly fearing that this may happen. What if they get all of the bitcoin? Then we are all doomed and you all know it. Fiat will win. Game over.

Do not let "them" know this dark secret. It would devastate us all and they would walk away the victors. At that point I would surely need to admit that communism is the best and Karl Marx is a genius.

So...the "real" Satoshi comes out supporting "blockchain not Bitcoin"...



Even though the REAL Satoshi never once mentioned blockchain "a chain of blocks".

I turned down an investment opportunity a few days ago involving a new fund Thiel and Andreessen are getting in on...when the price was $7600.

This price is making me reconsider.

One makes you larger. One makes you small.

Not sure which one though....ask Alice.

Nice. What magical land do you live in where the government does not take money from you for owning property?

While I tend to hodl, I had to sell a few when it peaked over $10k. A 36% jump is bound to have a slight correction even if medium term things will go up.

I'm helping to fund a seastead factory so I need a bit of cash for equipment. Been feeling a bit down not being able to put in my share...I refused to sell at such low prices.

Green dildo!

I too want to see such a video. I imagine it would bring in much more money than a few Dash they were trying to extort from me  (hey dumbasses, the government has been extorting money from me much longer, work a bit harder next time...at least send a Navy). Do they award the Oscar for such videos? It would likely surpass Avatar.


The video would consist of me opening the Bitcoin charts and watching the price shoot up. Giving me great pleasure.

You rent/lease real estate from the government.

Try not paying your "rent" some time and see if you own it.

So they can only invest in something they do not own.

A while back I was phished by the other bitcointalk (.to or something like that). It's the only bitcointalk that comes up in google searches.

They got my e-mail and password.

I received an e-mail (on that e-mail address) saying that they hacked my computer and have my password (they revealed the password I had used on bitcointalk) and said they have all of my information and have video of me "pleasuring myself" (lol). That if I did not send them some DASH they would reveal the video to the world. Also, because they hacked my computer they would know if I read that e-mail. Also they deleted any trace of the malware I "had downloaded".

Fortunately I don't re-use passwords and my laptop has a hardware switch to turn off all devices I do not use (such as the camera, microphone, bluetooth, wifi) so I knew instantly that the e-mail was BS. (It is almost as if I am keeping my information from nosy governments...)

FYI in case you've been hit by that phishing site in the past.

Also, having been through shit like this with governments twice...think about what you would lose today if some government official walked into your house right this very second and confiscated all of your electronics (phone, computers, etc.) and had them in their possession to unlock any password they desired (except the many layers of encryption I had on my computer when the German government took it the first time). You have no preparation and it comes when you least expect it. Protect yourself. The more you live your life with some small bits of freedom, the more of a target you become.

I'm just glad I did not follow through with being a gold bug like I was before Bitcoin.

I do believe we need to conquer the ocean before we can move to space. Otherwise we need to wait for governments and NIMBYs to "allow" us to go to space.

The point of our initial seastead was to create a support community for a space launch facility in the open ocean. The aerospace engineer putting it all together and funding it (with his Vladmir Club level bitcoins) is planning on building a launch loop about 60km wide. From there he can launch things into space repeatedly minutes or seconds apart. The seastead I lived in was not built to be a home, rather an observation tower.

He is determined to move forward on this and build a prototype 300m diameter loop in the next year or so as a proof of concept.

Also, going to Mars seems to be a government supported thing. Why go through all of the hassle to get to space...only to get stuck on another rock?
