> Many dung beetles, known as rollers, roll dung into round balls, which are used as a food source or breeding chambers. Others, known as tunnelers, bury the dung wherever they find it. A third group, the dwellers, neither roll nor burrow: they simply live in dung.

And now also with #Schnorr signature support!

@mastodonmigration Doesn't this kinda break the #ActivityPub protocol in the first place? Like if you're supposedly not sure if you're legally allowed to reproduce data from another site.. How can federation even work? I suppose the protocol should have some legal writing saying that whatever you put at an API endpoint must be free to copy/show to users etc..
Can we please just abolish copyright and all IP? #aboliship

@ryanleesipes Hehe, honestly I'm not. I only read up on Sieve in documents but never managed to use it because I couldn't find any #ManageSieve app that worked on my OS. The Tb plugin also never worked somehow. And personally already worked around the problem of having a huge unfiltered inbox on mobile by having a second dedicated mailbox for development mailing lists and Github notification etc.

@openculture @glynmoody This website blocks me from seeing their own content because it claims I have an ad blocker while I don't have an ad blocker. I'm just using the #Firefox #FirefoxFocus browser..

Very in-depth write-up on the history of Craig #Wright and his legal disturbances of late by Greg Maxwell. Definitely recommend for anyone going "wtf?" when reading about Wright lately..

Proton leaving the #Fediverse already..

@TheFuzzStone Comparing with #Briar and #Berty. There seem to be a lot of these new "decentralized p2p messaging" apps/protocols lately.

@waxwing I speak the word regularly. At least a few times a year though :) But yeah idk how Grin is doing. From time to time I hope some people decide to develop a one-way peg from Bitcoin to a #Mimblewimble sidechain.

@mayel @rysiek @tcit @karen @bonfire I noticed the #CommonsPub project before I liked the idea of a general-purpose #ActivityPub server. Especially as it could serve as a base for more specific servers by having plug-in support etc. I see now that CommonsPub is being reactores into the Bonfire ecosystem. What does that mean? For the CommonsPub project in particular..

To my followers from the US, I'd like to bring the existence of this initiative to your attention.
It's an attempt at solving the "lesser of two evils" dilemma of the #election2020. Please give it some thought.

@tuxicoman Since #SiskinIM and #BeagleIM share the same codebase (IIRC), I suspect they have the same A/V properties. And since #Conversations is compatible with Siskin, I think Beagle should/could be too. No idea about AstraChat.
You can compile #Dino (@dino) for OSX. They don't support A/V, but it's a planned feature.

@lioh #Namecoin didn't have any premine/airdrop and it's merge-mined with #Bitcoin, which means that it doesn't have to generate its own proof-of-work and that coins are evenly distributed to all miners and not awarded to the creators.
Sadly, DNS is a hard system to disrupt or enter as a small player. It's hard, even in Linux, to support custom TLDs at the OS level. Some people have browser extensions or forwarder domains, but it's not the real thing. -
@Mikoto @nitox @jookia The difference is that you can't use the coins, but they don't go away. You don't have to spend them. With #Bitcoin, you have to spend them. If you spend your bitcoins to mine, you will spend the majority on electricity. In a frictionless economy, you'd just break-even.
> You have to #own #real-life #money instead, which is already quite #centralised.
That's a broken argument.
> #anal
That's very mature.

@strypey I agree that the #Fediverse should be for public content. For publishing snippets for the world to see or perhaps a limited audience but never snippets that contain any sensitive information.
#XMPP and social networks built on it, like #Movim of #SalutAToi, are better for private social networking. Even though I recently discovered #ScuttleButt, which seems even better for private socialing! -
@FreePietje @kekcoin The ENS can be useful. Sadly it's built on #Ethereum.. #Namecoin is #Bitcoin merge-mined. So it's supposed to be ideal. I haven't heard much of the project for many years, though.
It would be cool if those crazy web-devs building all the Ethereum infrastructure could do some work on Namecoin. Sadly there are no ICOs throwing millions at them, though. I guess they have misaligned motivations.. -
-
Idea: A #Bitcoin softfork that adds #demurrage of say 0.5% per year in the form of enforcing a minimum miner fee based on the coin-age being spent.
This would increase on-chain fees as users have an incentive to spend coins before the demurrage becomes larger than the regular block-space fee. It would affect hodlers more than layer 2 users because they generally tend to set higher fees already. -
Who is Patrick Byrne?
Great short documentary on Patrick #Byrne, former #Overstock CEO goes US Federal Spy goes full #Bitcoin and #Blockchain maximalist against the #DeepState.

A bit of an older video, but still very relevant! Greg Maxwell on potential improvements to #Bitcoin that are already implemented in #Elements (and #Liquid).
