I got really tired of trying to make zeus or bluewallet work over tor to talk to bitcoin and lightning services running at home. Was thinking about setting up tailscale for everything. Found (nebula)[https://github.com/slackhq/nebula] which looks a lot like an open source tailscale (not using wireguard, but still using NOISE-based cryptography; interesting and I wonder why they're not just doing wireguard. need to go read the code and do some poking). Set it up last night and so far its working great. I have a "lighthouse" (host that's used for peer discovery and NAT traversal) running on a $3/month ec2 instance. It's just used for initial connnection bootstrapping (like what tailscale does) and then from there it's all mesh. I have my phone able to get to my lightning node and bluewallet on my phone able to get to my electrs instance, etc. Going to play with it a bunch over the next few weeks. Could be a really nice solution for folks running services at home that need an easy multi-device VPN

Ok this has been fixed.

Note: if you wanted to jump directly to a transaction (your transaction), you can just search for that TX ID and it will take you straight there:

Preturnio returns a result here because there is an OP_RETURN inside that transaction and Preturnio indexes all OP_RETURNs. As I mentioned below, the '/' delimiter wasn't part of the search index regex analyzer - so if you searched for 'substack' you'd see your OP_RETURN transactions - but 'darthcoin' wasn't registering as a match.

I've updated the search index regex and so now 'darthcoin' will return results because the analyzer will include specific words in between '/' and '.'

(Turns out that free form text indexes are tricky to configure :))

Thanks for pointing this out and giving me an opportunity to tweak the index.

Strategy is overrated. Have fun.

Great list. US dollar dominance enables abuses of the global south through debt slavery via the IMF. This kinda touches all 4.

Another one is censorship resistance. Bitcoin has already helped women escape abusive marrages in nations were women lack basic freedoms.

Hack. If a coordinated global effort from governments to ban bitcoin was successful. If bitcoiners stopped caring about freedom and sound money, adoption, layer 2 development and only cared about getting rich in fiat terms. If a fork that inflates supply wins out. If the fee and block subsidy prove to be insufficient in the future to secure the network and a consensus is not reached to solve the issue.

I am sure I could come up with a few more. I am not suggesting these are likely by any means but they are some things that would at least cause me to reassess my thesis.
