Bitcoin specific, when Chaincode Labs gave me about a year worth of income with no strings attached because they liked what I was doing.
Though getting ~$41k and counting to spend on donations to the Ukrainian military is honestly even more memorable. If less clearly a "tip".
Well, the radiator armor isn't a single steel plate. It's multiple steel strips about 15cm wide, at an angle, with the strips overlapping. So I assume that gives enough space for the airflow to route around. I pushed the truck to almost it's limits driving there – the absolute top speed seemed to be about 160km/hr, and I drove it at 140km/hr for long distances without trouble. The thermostat temperature didn't get any worse than halfway. So I assume it wasn't anywhere close to overheating. And the temperature was averaging about 22°C during the drive.
There is something to be said for pushing the truck to its limits on the safe drive there, where I can easily call a tow truck and get things fixed, rather than having problems show up at the front line... 😂
Look closely: it's actually a right hand drive truck from the UK! IIRC they said it was a 2009 model. They're still sold too. But not in the North American market IIUC.
Relevant: a close look at the aftermath of the Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingo strike on the VNIIR-Progress facility in Cheboksary, ~1000km inside Russia:
...and footage of the FP-5 in flight:
The situation in Kramatorsk is getting harder. But Ukraine is making amazing progress in building their own weapons, even cruise missiles; the FP-5 has a ~1000kg explosive payload. Ukraine just needs to hold on to places like Kramatorsk long enough to crush Russia economically and strategically.
If anything, Russia's increasingly desperate attempts at terrorizing civilians is a good sign that Russia is losing; I'll talk about this more in Part 2 of the above article.
if they don’t like that they shouldn’t email me with legal threats with their real name
+1
Obviously jb55 has the right to dox someone threatening him with legal action, who put their real name on the letter.
tl;dr: don't worry about an inflation exploit. Our math is so sophisticated that only a handful of good guys in the entire world understand it well enough to exploit it!
...and again, this gets back to your insane belief that defending yourself is somehow "warmongering bullshit".
Russians are coming to Ukraine, trying to steal, rape, and murder. Friends of mine are helping stop that by killing those Russians. I'm helping them stay alive.
It's not hard. You're just fucked in the head with conspiratorial bullshit.
Blah blah blah psyop blah blah.
I've spent multiple months of the past year in Ukraine; I saw first hand Russia trying to freeze the population to death this winter; I've made multiple trips to front line areas. One close enough that it wasn't safe to be outside due to Russian FPV drones.
Hell, while writing this I just had to leave the mall I'm in right now because of an air raid.... In fact, looks like something just got blown out of the sky a kilometer or two away. Heard an explosion and there's a small cloud of smoke left over.
I know damn well what's going on in Ukraine: a force of evil trying to take what isn't theirs.
Claiming they were "poking the bear" is just nonsense, apologizing for evil. Fortunately, Russia is losing.
You'll be happy to know I recently raised $40k, and just spent the first few thousand getting another truck for a unit near Kramatorsk, eastern Ukraine: https://x.com/i/status/2057396047085818015
(No, I didn't create this $LADA coin; some Solana degens did and forwarded me the earnings without asking me)
I'm looking into the possibility of using some of that money to buy specialty anti-drone ammo for them. I personally have seen FPV drones get shot down (including one I spotted). So I know that'll get put to good use defending Ukraine. PayPal won't let you fundraise for weapons or ammo...
You're just a nutjob who apparently can't understand that defending yourself from thieving, raping, murdering, invaders is a good thing. Fuck Russia.
It would be good if Wasabi had the ability to import an arbitrary private key to coinjoin.
I'm pretty sure joinmarket at least used to have that ability, as it used Bitcoin Core. But it's a moot point anyway as development on joinmarket has stopped.
Exactly.
The key is that the computation required is a strictly serial computation: each step has to be completed in a series, one after another.
Since clock speeds aren't increasing, we know that the minimum time the computation can be computed isn't going to be much lower than the time anyone can compute it with off the shelf hardware. Furthermore, in my scheme, if you do have a particularly fast computer you have an incentive (via Bitcoin txout bounties) to reveal that capability to the world.
As I replied on Twitter, this really should be using hash chains:

My timelock scheme is particularly nice, as it provides an incentive for people to disclose the fastest performing hashing implementations.
You know, Ukraine's a really nice place. Nice enough that plenty of people I know are moving there. Plus compared to a lot of western countries, currently it's kinda a tax haven. And the lack of AML/KYC on Bitcoin and other stuff is awesome.
I dunno how exactly you Ukrainians do it. But just keep doing it.
