So I got a day off today. Naturally, I spent the whole day playing Tears of the Kingdom, but I did leave the conference livestream on in the background and paid some attention to it when I'm not busy fighting a moblin or a construct. A few thoughts:

• oh the shitcoinery... I thought it was a bitcoin conference?
• too many politicians, wtf? I don't believe mass adoption will occur through politicians or nation state adoptions. Mass adoption will only occur through education and people truly understanding bitcoin.
• I like Saylor's 10 rules. Those are good advices, easier said than done though. But definitely worth mentioning to young people, or actually other people in general.
• is Mallers trying to imitate Apple? All those UI redesigns and even the slides seem very Apple like... either way, good to see another entrepreneur trying to grow their business. Personally, I don't really care about custodial services and KYC services. Let the free market decide, over the long run, if Strike is worthy or not.
• oh man, they didn't fight when talking about ordinals and inscriptions. I was looking forward to some action. Should have got Max Keiser on there, much better chance of seeing him throw some punches at those kids.
• TOTK is such a great game and I'm glad my main focus of the day was on TOTK and not the conference...

So you're fabricating a story where we (BTCPay community) ignored you (we didn't) just because we didn't immediately start a crowdfunding for you instead of patching a bug and ensuring others don't get impacted on a Friday evening, evil people we are. I'l let know the entire team of 8 people maintaining payment infrastructure for entire bitcoin, to immediately start one.

Did you ask how Dennis was? Has he slept? Have I slept? Do you really think we're not impacted by this equality ,even though I can be jackass and pin-point several things you could've done to mitigate a hot wallet attack better?

Listen, I understand your frustration and pain, I emphatize, but you attacking us for your pain instead of the hacker is probably not fair direction to go into, especially because I really believe we've done everything we could to help you.

I am unsure if it is your fault or our fault, but anyway here is the error message I get by debugging from the desktop:

Did you begin using WebAssembly recently with Rust or something?

Interesting, here is their "One Sentence" summary:

A network state is a highly aligned online community with a capacity for collective action that crowdfunds territory around the world and eventually gains diplomatic recognition from pre-existing states.

My guess is they're part of the debt-fueled pathological system borne out of a decade of free money.

All growth, no profit, requiring a constant stream of new debt to exist.

A recession is the reckoning for companies that overextended in this way. Those that start to reach for actual yield more aggressively in these times reveal their cards this way.

Reddit is bleeding potential ad money through third party apps and clients and needs to plug that hole to survive.

It's an interesting point in general -- in real communities, these sorts of reputational things do a lot of work: if you're a dick to my friend, I will take note of that, and treat you differently as a result. The list you're describing could enable things like that, although at scale those sorts of forces tend to not work, or get weird.

So many interesting SN experiments that could be run!
