I have for example a way to make LN work in a more scalable way horizontal to userbase. Schnorr also helps with multisig and p2sh transactions. You seem to not have your engineering hat on again.

Show me the details (sufficiently summarized because I don't have time) and I will show you that you are incorrect. I find that you often make technological claims in this thread without sufficient peer review.

Btw, I tried to send my son $100 for Xmas and I told him to give me a Bitcoin Cash address because I didn't have any BTC right now and because the transaction fees are too high. And I told him to be careful because BTC and BCH addresses are not distinguishable algorithmically. He said he had Coinbase and then I remembered Coinbase had recently suspended BCH because of some insider trading investigation (presuming that their acceptance of BCH is what lead to the recent pump to $4000). He opted for me to have a check mailed from my Wells Fargo bank even though it would be 5 days delayed.

Crypto is still not ready for prime time. It's too difficult to use, too many caveats and snafus, and too many centralized large players with too much dominance over the market. But probably these are just growing pains, not catastrophic, because some project will deliver on decentralization at sufficient scale.

P.S. Finally got an MRI and I have numerous 0.5 - 1cm cysts on my liver, spleen, and left kidney. The Tuberculosis is entirely cleared from my lungs. So probably I need surgery to remove the cysts. Apparently the chronic fatigue and brain fog (which has so severely restricted my productivity) will abate immediately after surgery. Hopefully surgery in January if a quick change in diet, exercise intensity, and intravenous vitamin C is not able to cause the cysts to spontaneously burst or diminish. Apparently those cysts have been there since at least 2016 when the ultrasound revealing roughed gut organs, but the stupid doctors here never mentioned the possibility that the ultrasound could be indicating cysts. They should have ordered an MRI back then! I actually had to demand the MRI because the doctor here was wanting endoscopy instead! It's all about how they make the most money I think (the MRI is done by a radiologist, not them). I've been told that the politics of the hospitals here is more dysfunctional than the politics of the government! And boy have I suffered and lost a half-lifetime of productivity because of it! The gut effects started after the acute peptic ulcer ER hospitalization in May 2012. I have to find a surgeon I can trust (not some Asian doctor like the one who blinded my eye) and that I can afford (no health insurance, pre-existing condition)

Anonymint, good to see you're still around. Ethereum was a joint effort with many people involved from the beginning. I did my part as did Vitalik and the rest; apparently, the Ethereum org doesn't want to call me a founder thus I guess my role was minimal, but it was a lot of fun. It is true Mint and I had many discussions about finance both during my time at Invictus and after. My memory fails to recall all the things that were said, but I do like his outside of the box thinking and also love of Scala. Although I'm still a Haskell man Cool

What the fuck is this.. i dont understand these accounts popping up and saying the same thing over and over. And yes gold sucks. Dyor.

Somebody apparently is trying to pretend that Charles Hoskinson is writing anonymous messages. It's probably some parody on me of some sort, implying that I'm delusional or something of that sort. It's referring to the time before Charles started Ethereum and he and I had some brief interactions. But Charles (of IOHK, ADA, Cardero, etc) is big time now Mr. Haskell (Edinburgh University, Philip Wadler, etc) of crypto. For those of you who understand programming language design (so then you understand Wadler is a significant person), could try to understand the significance of something I wrote this week. Haskell will not become the next mainstream programming language. Lucid might. Btw, click that link to Wadler is a significant person and you get a little surprise.
