  @SteveW928 @LeonidasNFT It’s not yours sir, there are literally only multiple dozens to hundreds of BIP110 supporters on X, and if you filter for unverified accounts, they make up 80% of the BIP110 supporters. That tracks with the on chain PoW that I’d the ONLy reliable signal and cannot be sybil’ed or is practically impossible as pool are made up of many smaller miners, mining is decentralized and recently it’s been 0.0%, and historically it’s been only 0.3% average of the blocks mined. Node count is not a reliable signal, X support or sentiment among unverified account is especially a horrible signal and the easiest to sybil of them all, and luke is known to use this tactic.. so are many when they are the minority not getting their way, which is exacted case with BIP110. One core dev defector supports it, that’s it… zzz this has become so old I think I’m done and muting bip110 knots spam and other keywords to stop exposing my brain to this.. waste of time. Emotions don’t rule bitcoin, PoW, incentives based on game theory design principles, and skin in the game do, not your “big feels” about spam. Instead you should be spreading adoption with businesses and showing them how to set it up, to accept bitcoin and pay with bitcoin when you go there.. but none do and the community made fun of Roger Ver for doing exactly that, PoS with bitcoin onchain txns, and laughed and called it “PayPal 2.0” and all knots dave and all core devs made fun of smaller monetary txn on bitcoin, all of them, and said “it’s digital gold why would you spend that?”. But if you soread adoption so monetary txn price out spam as “spammers” simply buy up the blockspace that is not being used for monetary txns bc idiots that were guided by emotions and wanting to send a message to miners that they were not incharge, by not raising the blocksize after agreeing to, segwit plus 2x increase was the deal, instead they didn’t follow through and played that hand, UASF, it will only fool the miners once as they saw it was a bluff bc segwit adoption was slow af.

  Open Standard just inverted the stablecoin market. On June 30, more than 140 companies including Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, BlackRock, BNY and Coinbase unveiled Open USD, a dollar stablecoin run by a new independent company called Open Standard. Circle, Tether and PayPal are not on the partner list. Circle's stock fell 16% the same day. The incumbent issuers keep the float: holders earn zero while the issuer collects Treasury yield on roughly $250B of reserves. Open USD pays that yield out to distributors. Partners mint and redeem for free with no volume caps, and nearly all reserve income goes to the companies that hold and move the coin, after a small management fee. This deal already existed, just never at this scale. Circle pays Coinbase roughly half of USDC reserve income for distribution. Open USD writes that agreement into the coin itself, for Stripe, Shopify, Chime and every other partner. One detail worth holding onto: the GENIUS Act bars issuers from paying yield to the coin holder, so the float income stops at the platforms. The person actually holding the coin collects the same zero as on USDT and USDC. The reason to take it seriously is distribution. Visa runs 4.9 billion payment credentials. Stripe processed $1.9 trillion in 2025 and says Open USD will be the default stablecoin across its network. Shopify moved $378 billion in GMV. No stablecoin has ever launched with that reach on day one. The open questions are real too: launch is slated for late 2026, and the payout formula, the management fee and the board seats remain undisclosed. When 140 of the largest companies in payments compete the margin on dollar tokens down to zero, the wrapper becomes a commodity. Stablecoins crossed $300B in supply and settled $33T last year, and dollars entering the digital asset ecosystem have always flowed toward bitcoin.

  @ProtonSupport Let me explain something that we that buy these Proton and like software do not find out until it doesn't work. Support and its protocal and efficiency are key. When they pull up my file it should have everything from what I purchased to how much was paid and what is left on the subscription. Ai can work but has limitations. When it is doing what only people should do it cost the people who buy your product too much time. Proton Ai auto-charged me through PayPal it wasn’t a person. No signature no box was clicked nothing. When I got a hold of PayPal they saw right away I was charged for something I already had. Your ai didn’t catch that. When PayPal connected with proton to talk about this they may have met ai too. Now both my email and VPN have been blocked. Why block my email? I use it daily. Its been a week now and no email or phone call from Proton. I must have 20 hours into this at this point. 20 X $50.00 - $1000.00 for a $100 dollars left in a software contract that Proton is blocking. Do you see where the cost of dealing with this is not worth the head ache? Its been almost a week and I cannot get into my email because you bl;ocked it to? Both services I have paid for through April 2027 and you are blocking them? Who does that? I am likely speaking for hundreds that have similar issues with this or other products where a device software can become non functional. It was maybe an outside intruder that got through. I don’t knopw bjut don’t block something that is working and paid for ever. That is piss poor busioness and causes peoiple to thionk twice before purchssing your product. If it weas ai that did it, its still on youand the momney ai saved you that now is working against you. My account is a Pay Pal account that has had both paid up services now blocked. I do not know how many are blocked but look at them and undue the ones that are paid and then Proton email will work and you can get a hold of me through that.

  One thing I didn't know until recently: after selling PayPal, Elon Musk put almost all of his money into Tesla and SpaceX. At one point, he reportedly had to borrow money just to cover personal expenses while trying to keep both companies alive. That's a level of conviction most people would never take. I've been keeping an eye on the SpaceX tokenized stock on BingX, and it's interesting to see how much attention it's getting now. Whether you're bullish or skeptical, SpaceX has become one of the most talked-about companies in the market. If you had the chance, would you buy into the story or wait for the hype to cool down?

  The payment security stuff Sony mentioned as the reason they are closing the PlayStation 3 and Vita stores is 100% a lie. They previously already solved it by removing your ability to use your card and payment info on the PS3 or PS Vita consoles and made it so you have to use funds that you can add to your account via the website or other consoles. I regularly update client's Stripe, PayPal, and other CC processing methods when things change (Only happens every few years but they don't all get updated at the same time.). It's never been a massive undertaking unless you designed it like absolute **** from the beginning. And even funnier is they could solve any additional security issues if they had just kept the browser-based version of the store up and only allow you to buy stuff from there. Makes it easier to update any security when you have a front end that's agnostic of the hardware it has to run on. TLDR: They just don't want it around and would rather use ratspeak that stupid people are literally buying into.

My account is a Pay Pal auto pay account that has had both paid up services now blocked that a person would have caught. I do not know how many support tickets show they’re froze out of their accounts becuse the account is in dispute blocked If I knew ahed of time thart if my VPN died and I needed it fixed it would end up costing me what I have been through I woukld never ever have purchased this. I still have not been contacted by Proton since havin g my Proton email being blocked. I hjave a contact incase that happens they copuld reach me yet nothing. People be careful what you purchase. Read independent reviews. I think Proton worked great until this event happened. A check of the bill, a linkm to a replacement Proton Plkuys thats paid up to April 2027 matching what I paid for shpould have been done in the first 15 minutes ion the first day.

  take these 3 chores off your plate this week 1. website updates. framer put ai agents inside its website builder. tell one "update my pricing page" or "find every broken link" and it makes the edits right in your site editor. nothing goes live until you hit publish. free to start. 2. scheduling back-and-forth. cal's individual plan is free forever with unlimited event types, and it imports your whole calendly setup in 1 click. stripe and paypal payments work on the free plan too, so clients can book and pay in one step. 3. phone busywork. acti is a free iphone keyboard with an agent inside. type what you need, hold the acti bar, and it pulls up the meeting link or calendar action right there in the chat. you can build your own shortcuts by describing them in plain english. save this. set up one of the three before friday. which chore goes first?

  This is the launcher, where is WhatsApp as Skype, which they try to move to where Brave/Multiscape is by claiming that I have no proof of a webclient (to play Multiscape with a web browser, Brave being an example of a web browser) mentioned only in a YouTube video that mentions the domain name I edited years ago to Rune-Server thread's (15th Century, which was the Multiscape thread mentioning Jami as the owner and "we" referring to Ari and Jami, while these manipulators claim it refers to Joni and Jami) reply and that the owner would be Joni (without any other proof that it was Jami's pseudonym than Rune-Server mentioning Jami as the owner) and thus forcing me to move Brave/Multiscape next to RuneScape as my projects/interests that I don't have a proof of like Multiscape 317 with a webclient was owned by Joni Arola (it wasn't according to Rune-Server, unless you think "we" refers to Joni and Jami instead of Ari, whose PayPal link was posted on Multiscape forums without the link showing Ari's name, and Jami) instead of me, Jami. Even if they have no proof of lying, they claim that if I tried to claim that Ari and Jami (me) were the Multiscape team and that Joni mentioned in the YouTube video was my pseudonym, it could be understood as a lie, because the claim that Joni was my pseudonym wouldn't have been made when the YouTube video of the webclient was made but in 2026, meaning that Multiscape was owned by Joni until 2026 as Jami wasn't mentioned in the YouTube video but only on Rune-Server, where the link mentioned in the YouTube video's description was edited to a reply without the date of edit being shown implying it could be done way after the YouTube video, even if the edit wasn't recent, and not true as the video was about a RSPS owned by Joni implying that it wasn't the same RSPS as the one advertised on Rune-Server and editing its link to Rune-Server could be a lie to claim they was the same RSPS, i.e. Multiscape would be linked to Brave in 2026, not earlier. This means WhatsApp as Skype would be the first app there's a proof of, the last one being TomTom and thus the order would start with TomTom app meaning that it starts in my best friend TomTom's place in 2023 and ends with my mom as WhatsApp contact in 2026 instead of starting with Multiscape webclient in 2010 and ending with TomTom in 2026 like it all was a lie started in 2023 instead of truth between from 2007 (Camera app was linked with Bitcoin, because I received a video camera with a microSD card as a Christmas present in 2007, while Bitcoin was 2011 or 2012, which is why Camera isn't before Multiscape webclient in 2010). Do you see the manipulation, @grok?

  MAN UTD FAN. (@Faith181107) reported 55 minutes ago

  You can guess what students did on that final Tuesday. Fast forward to the end of the semester: I still hadn't seen any documentation or user manual, and it was due on exam day (the first day of finals week). A week before the deadline, they told me I'd have it before our 12 PM meeting on study day (Wednesday). I got the email at 11 PM Tuesday after work. I opened the files, got pissed, shut my laptop, played some Xbox, and passed out before midnight. The technical documentation was just one page with almost nothing useful—no database schema, website languages, PayPal details, or registered emails. Just the URL and some unimportant info taking up half a page. The user manual was one and a half pages with maybe five sentences and three pictures with arrows. Zero real explanation on how to use the site.I showed up at 12 PM and waited about five minutes. No one else was there, so I texted the group. No replies. I started fixing the user manual since I'd clearly have to redo it. While working quietly, Damien finally walked in. D: "Did you get the docs?" Me: "Yeah. You guys really think this is finished?" D: "Oh yeah, it should be good to turn in." Me: "I don't know. I think we should add more—this is for our client, and she won't understand it. Where are Jeff and Kirk?" D: "Hahaha, we all got messed up last night after finishing the docs. They're probably still passed out. I'm turning it in tomorrow. If you want to add anything, go ahead, but whatever I have is going in. I think it's ready, so I'm not doing more. I have other classes to study for. I already have an A in this class, and Kirk and Jeff do too, so they don't care."He said the magic words, then left with a flash drive. I went straight upstairs and told Professor Matt everything. I said I didn't want to leave my client hanging—yes, my client, not ours. Matt said he fully understood and even praised me for staying on top of it and protecting the client's experience with our students. He asked why. I told him, "What you're getting tomorrow for 'our' project is completely unacceptable. It's unfair to us and especially to our client." I showed him the website (which he liked) and the terrible docs. I asked for an extra week to finish proper documentation and a user guide—I had a clear plan. Matt agreed, but told me to forget the docs since I knew the site. Just focus on the client .So I created video tutorials with narration, drove to her shop to demonstrate everything and show her where the videos were. I even built a simple desktop program with buttons that opened the exact video she needed, so she wouldn't have to hunt through folders. I gave her my contact info and said I'd be around over the summer if she needed help with the site or anything else. Afterward, I updated Matt, who had his own update. He nearly failed the rest of the group because they slid an unmarked USB under his door. He only accepted it after they emailed to confirm he got it. Matt also called the client, who confirmed I was the only one who ever showed up to meetings. As a result, anyone in my group who had an A going into the project dropped to a C. Anyone with a B failed. Damien's GPA took a hit from this four-hour class. Kirk and Jeff both failed—Jeff couldn't graduate, and Kirk had to retake it next semester. My grade, which was an 84 before the project, jumped to an A. The next year, Damien asked how I did because he was confused about his own final grade. I just said I did fine and got an A. He still has no idea why. Don't mess with me and my grades, and I won't mess with you.
