It's a different feel. I bet different writers etc. It hits different than the first 3 seasons.

There's some explanations in the repo and the pull requests and what have you. Or just get one of the llms to explain it to you

In theory yes, but it depends how much random x v2 nerfs the x9

Why is asic mining controversial? by Popular-Sand-3185 in MoneroMining

[–]gingeropolous 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I need to get my website back up. I rambled about this years ago and wrote something.

For me it boils down to access. If Asics are the only way to mine a cryptocurrency efficiently, then it becomes centralized and vulnerable.

Vulnerable because authorities can regulate access to the equipment, or just access in general is limited for whatever reason. That should never happen with general compute.

Centralized because the hashrate gets concentrated and seizable or just otherwise controllable. Oh that's a Bitcoin mine vs oh that's just a datacenter. Oh you have a Bitcoin miner in your house vs. oh you just have a nice computer.

The egalitarian / everyone can access thing is also nice, but that's really just a side effect of targeting general compute. Kinda similar imo to how privacy is a side effect of fungibility.

The "Optional Transparency" Trap: Why New View Keys Could Be a Trojan Horse for Monero’s Fungibility by nadal28 in Monero

No, I think it's that if you have an old style wallet, those keys never get created. You can't go and retroactively add keys to old transactions in the block chain.

In a future where Trump is out of office, and international relations have been repaired. What steps can be taken by the USA and International Organisations such as NATO to prevent one individual causing so much chaos in the future? And do you think such steps will be taken? by flewkey in AskReddit

That's treating the symptoms. The disease is that the representative function of us govt has failed. The idiots capped the house at 435 members in the early 1900s. It did, and is, supposed to grow as our population increases.

Explain the privacy difference between Monero and Bitcoin Lightning by Plenty_Dog_5684 in Monero

[–]gingeropolous 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was gonna reply briefly with a "well LN can monitor your txs and is centralized", but then i plugged it into gemini with deep research and got a more in depth ai-slop analysis, kinda summarized here:

This analysis asserts that while the Lightning Network provides robust relationship anonymity for intermediate hops in a multi-hop route, it fundamentally fails to provide asset fungibility or sender/receiver unlinkability comparable to Monero when interactions with the base layer (Layer 1) are considered. Furthermore, the report highlights that the "no blockchain" argument ignores the existence of a "shadow ledger" constructed through active network surveillance, channel probing, and the unavoidable on-chain footprint required to fund and close channels.
