@crunklord420 @verretor @josh That article is dumb. Double spending unconfirmed transactions happens all the time. So it occasionally being seen in confirmed tx with a single conf, and small 1 block reogrg, is unsurprising.

That's why if you are accepting a large amount of money you can't afford to lose, you wait for multiple confirmations. Which ~every exchange and other high-value use case does. The white paper itself had an example where six was needed.

California just passed Florida in cumulative reported cases per capita.

Florida has about twice as many elderly per-capita as California. Adjusting for demographics, CA passed FL in terms of cumulative deaths about a month ago.

After almost a year of hard lockdown all they've achieved is a ruined economy, and thousands of non-covid excess deaths among younger demographics.

The tyrants pushing unscientific lockdowns have young blood on their hands.

Interesting problem: the Mastodon software allows users to block moderators.

Which apparently some trolls are abusing by creating new accounts, blocking the mods, posting offensive material, and attempting to get the instance banned by others on the basis of that material.

Supposedly the official position of the Mastodon devs is this isn't a problem that needs fixing.

Literally the day that Biden is getting sworn in, the WHO issues an official warning on the risk of false positives in PCR tests for COVID-19 due to overly high cycle counts.

Funny how science is replacing fear now that Trump is out...

would it feasible, or useful, to host bitcoincore.org (which is generated static HTML) as well as the downloads on it ?

Re-watching “Captain America: Winter Soldier”

In the past year the whole world’s ruling class has started to behave exactly like Hydra agents.

Amazing how after decades of Holywood depicting super villains that want to end freedom for the sake of security— even the people who worked in those movies have taken the side of the villains and can’t see the irony.
