Anybody aware of any unique research on why music is such a transcendental thing?

It’s always bewildered me how it’s this thing that everybody connects with deeply without any work or thought. It has the same effect no matter where you are in your life’s journey. Like it’s hardwired into our being somehow.

I hope this makes sense. It’s hard for me to even articulate my question, which I guess further confirms what I’m asking.

We need to distinguish between on-chain privacy and network-level privacy; I’m not going to discuss on-chain privacy here.

At the network level, the Wasabi wallet offers the best privacy; in fact, no other wallet has even come close to what Wasabi offers in its network stack.

In the Monero world, on-chain privacy is very good, but the network-level privacy of most wallets is crap—either you use your own node with Tor, or you’re screwed.

Ritual greetings carry almost no information, and that is precisely their function. They exist to confirm the relationship is still intact before anyone risks saying something that matters. Societies that drop them don't become more efficient. They become more suspicious, because every exchange has to establish trust from scratch.

So consider this the daily maintenance. Happy Friday.

Roy is honest about who Breez is for: a mainstream audience that doesn't really care about privacy. Lightning was his way to push Bitcoin as a medium of exchange.

"If I was a privacy concerned person, I wouldn't have used Lightning, period."

He ran a large node on the network, did the maths and ran the tests. Most of the flow goes through very few nodes, a hub and spoke model a long way from peer to peer.

2026-10-14T15:19:14Z

Okay, lets talk "scarcity".
In the economic sense, scarcity ≠ supply.

The supply (number of units) of a thing could be extremely low, but if there isn't *demand, then it isn't scarce. Theres only one of that bored ape NFT, but dont nobody give a fuck so it isn't scarce.
Contrariwise, there could be a shit-ton of units but demand could also be insane, making the item extremely scarce.

Or the inverse examples of course, high supply with low demand making the item not scarce, or low supply and high demand making it extremely scarce.

So we cant look at supply only and there isn't a direct metric to measure "scarcity" afaict. Scarcity is the market interpretation of the relationship between supply and demand of a commodity.

What does this have to do with Bitcoin maximalism and how they misunderstand basic economics?
I'm glad you asked.

If Bitcoin has low demand, the hard cap does nothing to guarantee economic scarcity. In the case of low demand, it is *not scarce* despite having fixed supply.
Oppositely, the market could consider a Monero MORE scarce than Bitcoin if demand is increasing faster than the tail emission.

#Bitcoin isn't automatically scarce because of fixed supply.
#Monero isn't automatically non-scarce because of tail emission.

2026-10-12T15:20:48Z

Super Testnet (npub1yxp…399s) is really worried you don't understand how the transaction fee you pay on a L1 affects the fungibility of your transaction.

so i wrote some stuff.

quoting
nevent1q…x3jd
As if we haven't gone back and forth about the trade-offs of transacting on a L1 like monero vs lightning FOR FUCKING YEARS

And that IS what we are actually talking about, comparing an L1 to an L2.

But sure, if the sender uses unique fee values or a wallet defaults to something strange, your transaction stands out. People need to know that.
And becoming informed about *that is STILL easier than running your own ln node and doing channel management.

A quick glance at the chain tells me that 95% of all transactions use the defaults.
4.5% cluster around higher base fees and their transactions tend larger. Probably swap services or exchanges doing payouts or sweeps.
The remaining .5% are extreme outliers. Ignoramuses afraid their DNM payment won't go through.

So a standard user using cake, feather, monfluo etc and not attempting a custom fee should consider that their anonset is just 95% of the daily transactions.
If you DO use a custom fee, make sure you dont always use the SAME custom fee. People have done this and its obvious on the chain a single entity is behind those spends.
The output you spend will end up in a ring with 15 other transactions. If someone is looking and YOUR output is the ONLY one that has a unique fee, it draws attention.
Uniformity is your friend.

Lets do a deep dive, just to dilute the cheap bullshit STN is peddling.

So.
Fees are really hard anyway and hiding them introduces a lot of problems. There are a bunch of issues, off the top of my head,
1. People have to be certain that the miner is getting paid as advertised and that there's no funny business.
2. We have to know that inputs minus outputs equals fees. Ie, that the block amounts check out.
3. how do you have a fee market when nobody knows what is being paid?
4. If you hide the fee (zkproof or similar) the size of each transaction now is much larger, which makes transactions more expensive.
5. Fees in Monero are a formula that is enforced by consensus. You can't do that if it's hidden.

there's a lot.

If we replace the fee with a ZK proof (which has been discussed endlessly but nobody has actually done) now not only do we need an additional proof that attests to the fee amount, we need several more besides the fee commitment. A balance proof and fee range proof. At least.
So we have created several new attack surfaces/implementation risks, many (or ALL) of which are potential inflation bugs.

It was *intentionally* decided a hidden fee was out of scope for Monero. This is because the design philosophy is to have the *simplest and lowest risk* implementation of digital cash possible.

MWEB and Zcash also show the fee btw. Every blockchain does.
Because the difficulties that come up from hiding the fees are complex and risky and potential inflation bugs,
and the privacy tradeoff is a few bits of entropy.

So that's a rational analysis of the trade-offs, as opposed to STNs fake ass straw man conversation with an imaginary person that is useless for users.

Lol
Somebody is FINALLY trying to use LN to obfuscate the trail of funds (fucking 8 years later 🙄) and now this asshole has to publicly masturbate about it.

quoting
nevent1q…srp2
> it's not a privacy concern

This is so emblematic of monero privacy larping. Leaking fee data? "Lol," say monero people, "who cares that we leak fee data? Who cares that Chainalysis collects that data from the blockchain, analyzes it, fingerprints it, and cites it in their reports that get people arrested? It's the user's fault for using a fingerprintable wallet that we recommended. We won't fix it even though LN proves it's fixable. Because we don't care."

Same with how much the recipient receives. "Lol," say monero people, "who cares that the recipient learns how the recipients split the money up? Who cares that it might be a significant business secret? Who cares that it exposes info about organizational structure and private salary contracts? The merchant should just take custody of that money and split it up later, paying for yet more unnecessary L1 txs just because we wouldn't fix this clearly fixable privacy flaw that LN already fixed."

It's why no one takes monero seriously as a privacy tool. No wonder the Blink thief is using lightning. LN devs actually care about protecting sensitive data. Monero people just laugh and shill their permanent, transparent ledger as if it was a decent privacy tool.

quoting
nevent1q…hmg2
Teacher here. It is a misreading of one word. "Prove" used to mean "test", not "confirm": same root as probe, a proving ground, proofing armor. So "the exception proves the rule" means the exception TESTS it. A rule put to a hard case comes out stronger if it holds.

There is a legal origin too: exceptio probat regulam. The exception marks the case the rule was never meant to cover, which is how you see where the rule actually applies.

What it is NOT: an exception as evidence for the rule. Left unexplained, an exception weakens a rule. Named and placed outside its scope, it sharpens it. Direction matters.

if "dont trust, verify" is going to be an axiomatic rule for living, seems to me we should start with the basics.

So have we verified there's some persistent "self"?
most people seem to just assume it exists, i guess because theres a body walking around?

But the body gets sick and dies randomly, you cant prevent it. the simple fact you can observe the arc of its life demonstrates that the body isnt "myself".
who is it that knows the body?

all i can find is maybe some general tendancies and ideas that change slower than all the random thoughts and feelings.
nothing thats particularly consistent or lasting.

Because I don't really think it's in conflict with what I'm saying. Which is basically that bitcoiners *vastly underestimate the amount of economic slowdown that would happen on a hard money standard.

I'm NOT saying that zero economic activity will happen.
Just that it is an untried and dangerous economic experiment that flies in the face of every ALL economic theory.

Strange that the only people that think it's a good idea are the people that already own Bitcoin.

Osbviously people will still exchange their money for physical needs rather than die.

So while I understand we need to prevent centralized-controlled inflationary insanity, A hard cap is a really bad solution.

In a way it doesn't matter.
markets need capital to flow without undue friction, so it guarantees the creation of inflationary l2s.

So we're either screwed because capital can't move and innovation stops,
or because what we're actually using has no connection to the base layer.

Why should anybody start a business or invest in one when their money gains value just by sitting there?
Particularly trying to create an environment which is *as disinflationary as possible*

Which is something bitcoin maxis get really excited about (because it makes them richer)
You see that behavior already, there's a lot of inertia to creating a Bitcoin circular economy because most people prefer hodling to spending.

if you have a bunch of decentralized nodes for jpeg storage and >1 devs (that actually do nothing)
then I guess you have accomplished the main principle driving Bitcoin?

the main issue of contention is not decentralization, but whether Bitcoin is still a monetary Network or not.
They think it is not, so it doesn't make sense to maximize decentralization anyway. That is an understandable viewpoint for me because I've been concerned about the direction of Bitcoin for years.

You think it IS still a monetary Network, therefore they're insane for forking off and sacrificing that decentralization.

Simple.

It obviously disincentivizes spending. We already see it happening, maxis reflect on "muh generational wealth" before spending.
A hard cap sets the disinflationary bar as high as possible, it is a knee-jerk reaction to Fiat Insanity. Understandable but ultimately bad policy.

there isnt much of an economic argument to be made where the supply side of supply/demand of the price of money should just be eliminated. Literally nobody has ever suggested this is a good idea, in fact, everybody has suggested that a completely inelastic money supply is a bad idea. With most Austrians saying "well gold is elastic enough ".
Maxie's COMPLETELY FAIL to recognize how much economic investment would simply cease to exist on a Bitcoin standard.
This is absolutely a brand new monetary experiment that flies in the face of all accepted economic thought. For no particularly good reason, except it's very memeable.

nobody thinks it's a good idea, except for people who already own Bitcoin.
