@callebtc @Bumi @tierotiero If the exchange is the mint and you need to query the mint on every trade to prevent double spending, how is it any different to every other CEX? It just adds one extra step

[Riccardo B. @rblb_]

@callebtc @Bumi @tierotiero Are the exchange and the mint two different entities in this context?

@callebtc @AaronvanW @saylor @stephanlivera So tired of non-technical bitcoin influencers 😩

“Why yes, I would love to trade my spices for your goods, for we have both journeyed far and toiled hard.

However we must of course first complete these AML KYC forms for politicians, for surely commerce cannot work without them. It is for our own protection.”

@HandNF @_Mark_Atwood Opensource projects do not grow on trees, you just need to keep alive the incentive for the original maintainer to not abandon the project, if the project dies out, get your company to fork it. It's very easy, no need to involve regulators or other bs.

[Riccardo B. @rblb_]

@HandNF @_Mark_Atwood I really can't follow your reasoning. I am talking about forking an opensource project. You should never trust someone else code or intentions, that's the whole reason for opensource to exists. But this is an entirely different topic.

[Riccardo B. @rblb_]

@HandNF @_Mark_Atwood The incentive to join the team of a project like xz should be much higher than the incentive to hack it for a (likely paying) third party.

[Riccardo B. @rblb_]

@HandNF @_Mark_Atwood nobody forces you to use an opensource project from a funder you do not trust and nothing stops you from forking it with a team you trust. As long as there is incentive to do so, and i am talking about a lot more than a dollar or two.

[Riccardo B. @rblb_]

@HandNF @_Mark_Atwood You are implying that being managed by a corporation (whatever that means) and being open-source are mutually exclusive, they are not. Maybe we should normalize funding opensource development. By contracts or free donations, it doesn't matter.

@callebtc What do you think about liquid confidential transactions?

@CryptoNordie @GhostofWhitman My understanding is that it is some sort of tax loophole in the us. I am not sure if it holds water.

@samuelcolvin It seems that to do anything serious in python you need a lot of native libs (eg. Np). Would you call it memory safe programming if it is just glueing together native code? On the contrary in java (eg) using native bindings is discouraged because the language is performant enough

@Seccour_FR Everyone assumes Satoshi must be from the US or UK, but what if he was from a small European country where English is the second language? Perhaps he saw his country transitioning to the Euro in 2008 as a loss of sovereignty and came up with something radical to regain it.

[Riccardo B. @rblb_]

@Seccour_FR Are you sure?

[Riccardo B. @rblb_]

@BestGoldSignals @DanielKrawisz @Dr_CSWright Nope, int can be 16 bit on 16 bit systems, but unsigned int is also 16 bit there. This is not a tricky question, it is an elementary question
