TIL bayesian thinking

I'm happy to see #monero almost back in the top 10. I'm sure people that otherwise wouldn't will discover it because of that and then be amazed with its tech characteristics and its community goals. At least that's what happened to me.

#web3privacynow

Here's Rucknium's latest article about the infamous #monero 18-block reorg: What happened, why it matters, and what it has to do with the annoying 10 block lock.

If I could understand the whole thing enough to be able to do the diagrams, you can do it as well!

But seriously, give it a read. It's important if you care about (and want to understand) Monero's inner workings and quirks better:

My talk from #MoneroKon is live! If you watch it, please share with me that thing you did to be the Monero fork on somebody else's journey, or what was the thing that someone else did to bring you here:

I've been using gupax.io for a week now, it really is easy and every hash makes #monero a tiny bit harder to mess with.

Interesting how we went from getting lambos to avoid starvation as crypto marketing:

Coolest visualization website I've seen this week:

If you haven't already, pirate the shit out of your favorite films and music. There's a chance you might not be able to access it in the future.

I like Frank's thesis of a privacy coin renaissance. I don't think #zcash will thrive on it compared to #monero, it's easier to get better at UX than to mutate from a Electric Coin security into a decentralized digital commodity.

If we look at history I don't think it's only because it was first than BTC keeps being bigger in stores value than ETH.

I stumbled upon a surprisingly fresh take on privacy by James Hoffman (the British coffee guy) on this interview: https://youtu.be/72yeeuFjtSk&t=775

They way I understood it, keeping some of your endeavors to yourself kinda ensures that the reason you're doing them is truly yours, and not another seek for external validation. I've tried it myself and I consider it a very effective hack.

Here's

I managed to verstehen they're talking about meine vorstellung at min 30' but I need zwei more jahre auf klassen für verstehen if they liked it or nein.

Exactly. For those who want proof of that process look no further than the past decades of USD bottom-up adoption in Argentina and what it meant for the ARS.

Heads up Xenumonero's 's recap of the last day of #MoneroKon is out:

I encourage people that speak other languages to do the same, it'd make the topics way more accessible to the rest of the world, increasing the chances of someone finding #monero.

Ideally one video per topic, so for example someone searching for 3D printed guns will find your greek-spoken recap of Joseph The Parrot's kon talk and be one step away from #monero itself.

Once the talks are out I'll do the same myself in Español probably at

, so I do what I preach. Don't be shy. You can make it audio only. You can even make it text-only or voiced by an AI. But do it. Nowadays there are less and less excuses.

I kind of don't believe in free will, life feels like a movie that became self aware.

Like those closed loop time travel movies when you were supposed to do what you ended up doing and causing the outcome you intended to avoid.

Just listened to latest episode from

with xenumonero, good conversation, nice companion for your daily chores. Check it out, I cannot understand episodes auf Deutsch, but the English ones are gold:

Testing

but I cannot start any chats using this nsec and messaging someone, I mean the caht starts on my end but the other person doesn't get anything.

My favorite place to search for services that does NOT require your identity just got a massively useful and good looking update: http://kycnot.me It needs more community comments to make the best rise and help others not to fall for scams. We can do it!

Tail emission FTW. 🤘

I'm officially old now, I think the past was better.

They're basically cheering the government seizing Bitcoin forcefully. Remember that karma is a bitch.

Holy shit using #deepseek with the DeepThink on is mesmerizing. 😶

That's a great game on the Epic store that you can claim for free just for today: https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/hell-let-loose-03f036 It's a "realistic" WW2 shooter, which teaches you how likely was that you'd died very fast on a real war.

I knew it! https://image.nostr.build/28c36bd22be28973d77cb57aee242b6c37731df46a4b25333d0877d9992e6a4d.jpg

Watched "Here" by #bobzemeckis last night and with that fixed camera camera and the characters fading in and out brought back memories of The 7th Guest.

For women to enjoy sex they need to feel it was their idea. For men to enjoy helping out or solving a problem we need to feel it was our idea.

Of course I sold XMR two days ago to pay my credit card. You're welcome. 😅

That's like saying you don't need a screwdriver. Yeah, that's a slight chance you might get the work done with something else, but you'll more than likely screw up, break something and sweat a lot in the process.

Pretty nice debrief of the recent

by WatchmanPrivacy: youtu.be/wmuA3cfpA5w Very thorough and descriptive of my own experience there.

What's this gorgeous display of Uruguayan soft power doing in my argentinean supermarket

?

If in doubt, eat the piece of parmesan. Always. There's no good reason not to eat parmesan.

Friendly reminder that there's an open bounty so that #garnet can be installed as a separate app from #amethyst, which would be super useful: https://bounties.monero.social/posts/147/2-004m-garnet-maintenance-sync-upstream-new-icons-resolve-amethyst-dual-install-conflict-etc

If they move it from cows to humans, that would really make a dent in the family budget.

Argentineans always line up for flights as if the seats weren't numbered. 🤦‍♂️

Maybe it's just me having a thing for public transportation, but $1 to take an air conditioned bus with better seats than the plane straight to downtown Houston is nothing short of great.

Taking part in fun things is not something you should take for granted. Embrace and enjoy.

We need to get the digilol.net people on #nostr #monerotopia

Amazing panel at

, you get monero extra street creed points if you know who is who in this photo:

Answer: Articmine, Justin Berman, Luke Parker, jeffro256, and Tuxsudo.

Oh, that? It's just a #MoneroNodo connected to a #Starlink on top of a table on top of a table on top of another table, the night before

Totally normal setup.

After much tinkering I have the monero.garden little zines ready for

. These are printed on recycled paper and handcrafted, cut and sewed. Drop by the

table to grab one. 🌿

LocalSend is a GodSend

Start puttting some Euros aside frens because we have official dates for #MoneroKon 2025 and it's at the same venue in Prague again: 20-22 June!

gm, cool:

Spielberg's camera feels like the consciousness of the spectator.

Zemeckis' camera feels like the consciousness of the director.

My random cinema two cents of the day.

Well, forget sleeping.

Desde #labitconf don

hablando de #nostr:

A glimpse at how many times I move stuff around when preparing a talk lol.

I speak this Friday at LABITCONF, if you're around please ping me to meet!

Look at that gorgeous brutalist public clock.

It's getting real! They published the schedule at agenda.labitconf.com and look who's here with a talk named: "Really, do we need thaaat much privacy? 🧐

Lately I've been using LocalSend to send files or text between desktop and mobile. It's great: clean UX, works without tinkering, free, open source:

The fact that Michael Saylor is right does not mean that what he's describing is gonna be good for you.
