torrenting with just i2pd 3 and nothing else. setup was kinda dumb like you have to paste their web client into a folder but it works. it does implement the transmission remote rpc if you'd rather manage it like that. the latest version of qbittorrent also added some i2p enhancements.
for the dumb dumbs out there, no this isn't for clearnet torrents. it's for i2p specific torrents and you have to look them up on something like tracker2.postman.i2p

you're gonna get pressed on this. you have a communities blacklist in the copy of armada that you are hosting. you are already using it at your discretion and some state can force you to use it for additional things. be more honest about the reality of what this could get used for and push people towards self-hosting the client with your rust binary.

I am a chip chan watcher. she lives in korea and has schizophrenia. she spends as much time as possible in front of a webcam because she thinks it will protect her. she believes the police put microchips in her eyebrow and her ankle which can make her unconscious by remote control. she's been doing this for at least 10 years. chip chan has a devoted following, but she only responds to snail mail and some emails.

I am having trouble relating to people who watch a lot of movie theater stuff or television shows. I know it's social engineering and I hate that someone who made these kinds of videos is trying to shape me into something I don't want to be. I don't know how to explain it to someone naive to social engineering without sounding like a crazy person. It doesn't help that the most vocal people on this topic are obnoxious evangelicals or people with obvious acute schizophrenia.

99.9% chance the "MoE of the future" will be a stablecoin. the fact that it's a stablecoin will be completely invisible to the end user. you can thank blockstream et. al. for guaranteeing this future. there was a tender moment lasting only a few years and they completely ruined it. our toys will remain as an agorist sandbox on the fringes, with most people only pretending to interact.

I want Spark and Arkade to die. They are centralized money parking lots sitting next to LSPs. Exactly the same retarded idea as liquid+boltz combo wallets. They exist to justify lightning, and they are needlessly complex because they are trying to emulate covenants. This is the ugliest and stupidest way to achieve UTXO sharing.

The complexity of lightning is absolutely staggering. It has an unbelievable amount of technical surface area. You have been papering over it and hiding this complexity from the user behind centralization and central points of failure. It has spawned the most disgusting anti-bitcoin things conceivable in an effort to justify its own existence, and now all of these abominations are exploding and collapsing under the weight of the hidden complexity. PLEASE stop. It's been ten years of this shit. You are starting to learn the hard way. This is your final chance to admit you are wrong about lightning and leave it behind before it hurts even more people.

you bought into lies and propaganda left over from 2017 when people said that non-mining nodes can force segwit to become activated. idk if you were actually here in 2017, probably not lol. basically a knotzi is a coretard where the training data got frozen during covid.

Zcash will be ten years old this October. it often has higher mcap than XMR despite virtually no usage and no DNM presence. I think it's actually never been accepted at a DNM. the price of ZEC is moreso the result of financial engineering than even the price of BTC.
little debbie cakes are more organic than the ZEC price.

they did scummy things with BAT. if you tried to use their BAT integration to donate to a person who had not signed up to receive BAT tips, brave would just pocket it. later on brave was caught sneaking their own referral code onto several URLs including binance and coinbase. then they got caught installing a wireguard client on windows that was configured to run at startup without asking user permission. they are very forward thinking and that deserves to be recognized but they are unscrupulous.

domains are the second blockchain usecase ever, and they are the only thing I know to reach for when tasked with defending the concept of the NFT. brave seems scammy and bloated but they are the only major browser that is forward thinking enough to try to bake this stuff in and begin to take it seriously. I used the AAVE frontend over IPFS one time. it was pretty neat.

the tragedy of sidechain proposals is that they have so little competition. it's either drivechains or rootstock right now and barely anything else has escaped the drawing board. lightning really stole way too much mindshare.
I am not endorsing "bitcoin pure" at this time but it's another idea.

I still kind of want to count what paul is doing as just a well intentioned stunt to attract attention to different methods of scaling and adding stuff.

I am still looking out for a more comprehensive solution. one coin that does everything and you can just ignore whatever you don't like about it. when there are "everything" coins the only significant differences between them will be monetary policy and consensus mechanism

everyone who used metabase for their business analytics was affected, including shipmonk and all of shipmonk's clients. trezor was only one of those clients. trezor is three layers removed from the problem.
trezor already made sure that shipmonk would only have 3 months of data to even put anywhere. and shipmonk also adhered to all the industry standard requirements. I even checked and saw that metabase did not have a worse track record than any other alternative like tableau. shipmonk can't be blamed for picking metabase and trezor can't be blamed for screening out shipmonk over it.
I can't blame trezor for this and I can't blame their shipping partner either. the fault lies with the BI vendor.

oh come on dude this wasn't even trezor's fault

at any given moment there will always be a nonzero fraction of the BTC community who understand a facet of a problem extremely well and have a good idea to solve it. it is never guaranteed they will convince the majority. when they don't get their way they leave. constant brain drain. paul is gathering most people who understand what sidechains really do and he is evacuating them and BTC will lose these people. I will sound like a broken record but again, this sort of thing has already happened multiple times.

we both know damn well the next time L1 isn't "dead" nobody will solve anything and people will just migrate to altcoins. exactly like last time. and if L1 stays "dead" well there goes your security budget.
but that's the thing. this is how blockchains scale, naturally, all by themselves. a blockchain fills up and people just go to another blockchain. nobody has to write a blogpost or do a podcast or go to a conference and beg people to do this. people do this so much, it's massively popular. switching to altcoins is more popular than using lightning or cashu or any of that silly crap. this is what the market overwhelmingly chooses.
the sidechain idea is the only natural way to scale blockchains. instead of going to a different blockchain with a different currency, one currency can be multiple blockchains. you can ignore the ones you don't use, they can all have different features, and miners get paid for every single transaction. no need for altcoins ever again, and the security budget is finally solved.
you can do it with BIP300/BIP301, or it can also be done with covenant opcodes that are expressive enough. what you don't want to do is use a closed federation. that's retarded.

immediately after the BCH split the BTC community started tolerating way more infrastructure that can be easily shut off and central points of failure. almost as if all the people who actually gave a shit about that had departed from the community. now you've got stuff that users see and touch just not working anymore because it relied on something centralized that got shut off.

the whole concept of boltz existing at all is completely asinine. you don't want ANY architecture that allows for things to be completely shut off. boltz was solving a manufactured problem in an effort to pretend that lightning and liquid are viable technology.
