@charmcli would you agree upon setting up a bridge from the proprietary based platform Discord to the open protocol based #Matrix ?
Matrix would also let you bridge the other proprietary Slack platform, and more open and estabilished open IRC protocol.
I still have an hard time understanding why new developers tend to put themselves in those closed spots (including GitHub, btw)
@denommus I believe today there are some exchanges that transfer funds between accounts without the need to hit the main blockchain but rather using L2 (lightning) . Also some owners just got their BTCs when transactions were cheaper as for power consumption.
We're so relieved to see Germany reaffirm its opposition to the dangerous Chat Control proposal--the one that would mandate mass scanning of communications.
Germany's long been a solid champion of privacy, and the news that it was considering backing mass surveillance was alarming. 1/
@knasterbax Bitcoin is just a technology and as such you need to understand it in order to tell if it can be used for public good or not.
Is peer to peer communication good or bad for the community at large ? Is money good or bad for society ? Is Internet good ?
@knasterbax there is no price authority, price is purely driven by the market. Also there's no relationship between the price payed for a transaction and the energy consumption in the transaction process.
@knasterbax owners don't consume any power. Owning #Bitcoin only means keeping a secret information.
Miners could be charged a tax, but it should be proportional to the amount of energy consumed, not to the amount of Bitcoin mined (which could be done out of luck too).
At least in my country taxes proportional to power consumption are actually already charged in the utility bills, btw.

The Oregon State University Open Source Lab ( #OSUOSL ) might be forced to shut down and terminate all services this year due to a decline in corporate donations
#OSGeo servers, among other Open Source foundation servers, are hosted in the lab's data center.
Can you think of any way to help out ?
The Internet keeps getting narrower as more nodes surrender to the big actors taking it all, let's not make it happen !
