I think the blockchain just isn't a "controller", or any other entity that some sort of obligation. It's only about what people put on it. So an exchange that generates a deposit address for you is now responsible to hold that PII private.
-
@ 8685ebef:58f8faf8
2025-04-29 06:40:01
I think a Bitcoin address should be considered PII just like an IP address. With a possible exception if it's been mixed, freshly mined and held, never touched a custodian, etc. Now that would have serious implications for these surveillance companies.

2025-04-29 06:37:33
Its all very interesting bc *technically*, afaik, the blockchain itself doesnt actually keep any information that qualifies as PII under GDPR, sa names or IP addresses.
Will be interesting to see what this means for blockchain surveillance firms.

Without further context, I would read this as: don't doxx your customers on the blockchain unless you're able to delete every copy of it. I.e. don't put other peoples data on the blockchain.
Which in my opinion includes forcing customer to do a satoshi test. Or encouraging them to reuse addresses. Looking at you, Travel Rule...

The European Data Protection Board says if you can't anonymize transactions on a blockchain, you have to delete the blockchain. Funny, since they've spent the past 10 years trying to make software that does exactly that illegal.

Maintaining such a patch is probably a couple of days work per year, assuming a worst case scenario of the patch being hard to maintain. Maybe half a day if you can cherry-pick it out of Knots.

The Humble Administrator’s Garden in Suzhou, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was built over 16 years starting in 1513 by Wang Xianchen.
After his death, his son inherited the garden — and quickly lost it to gambling.
A Chinese proverb captures this: 富不过三代 — “Wealth doesn’t last beyond three generations.”
How do Bitcoiners plan to break this cycle and preserve generational wealth?

Basically to back the age old tiring arguments around "spam" with some proof-of-work.
It's too cheap to say your node does X. It's even too cheap to say your pool censors X, since there's negligible revenue impact in the current fee market. And equally negligible hinderance for the person doing X, since it just goes in the next block.
Reorging a competitor block is an expensive signal. And if it succeeds it would deter other miners to include X.
Of course it would set a terrible example for governments to copy, but hey, gotta fight "spam" at all cost, right?

If you're going to reorg a block because its content is evil, or just doesn't obey your favorite new soft fork rules, please put its hash in a coinbase OP_RETURN of your alternative block.
That proves you saw the block but chose not to accept it. As opposed to just having missed it, as with a typical stale block.
Call it a Bad Uncle block?
You could even do this with weak blocks (reduced proof of work) if all you have is a BitAxe.

English TL&DR there's a proposal to tax cars by surface area instead of weight. Somehow this is supposed to be better for electric cars because their batteries are heavy. (Not really, because the battery weight also needs to be flat and close the floor for balance and leg room reasons, making them long and wide).
My hot take: future cars will be (unstable) narrow double deckers.

Ik snap niet waarom de Belastingdienst dit onder één kopje zet, het zijn totaal verschillende dingen en voor beide is een genuanceerde analyse nodig. Een BitAxe is niet hetzelfde als tachtig ASIC's op je eigen windmolen. En dit artikel suggereert dat alleen daadwerkelijke winst van belang is, maar de *redelijke verwachting* van en daadwerkelijke invloed op is ook factor. M.a.w. een BitAxe solo block is m.i. box 3, maar wie ben ik... tip: gebruik een deel van de opbrengst voor een niet-beunhaas fiscalist.

Sympathieke suggestie om rekening te houden met volatiliteit, maar het kabinet doet exact het omgekeerde door straks met #vermogensaanwasbelasting papieren winst te gaan belasten op die peildatum. Gaat het draagvlak niet ten goede komen.

De rechterkolom komt me wat stereotyperend over. Vooral de implicatie dat technische kennis en belasting "omzeilen" hand in hand gaan.
Verder lijkt me de combinatie "opereren zonder tussenkomst van financiële instellingen" en investeren in "onbekende/nieuwe cryptovaluta" onwaarschijnlijk. Degen-anarchisten? Nouja, wie weet.

> De drie typen cryptobezitters hebben een aantal zaken met elkaar gemeen:
• Het hoofdmotief voor de aanschaf van cryptovaluta is speculatief: ze schaffen allemaal cryptovaluta aan omdat ze er rendement
mee hopen te maken. (Nog) niet om mee te betalen.
Nou dan heb je niet heel hard gezocht...

If the purpose is to destroy the SEC without formally abolishing it, this sounds a good move?

Please raise your hand if you think appointing a former FTX advisor as head of the SEC is a good idea so I can unfollow you

Fun fact: people do this so much that banks started advertising in their apps. ING calls it "verveelbankieren" (boredom banking)

The heavily polarized two party system in the US indeed has unhealthy tribalism. But it hasn't always been that way historically and it's not the case for all countries with a two party system (which itself is a result of first-past-the-post voting systems).
Multi-party systems have less of this problem. Perhaps because the need to make different coalitions each election, which means it's a bad idea try and obliterate the other side.
No politician party can ever fully represent your views. Having more choice helps, but when parties get too small you run into other problems (e.g. too much self promotion grand standing, not enough time to read a law before passing it).
Modern technology might be able to find a better coordination mechanism that political parties. Though I used to be more optimistic about that.

They would be right but I see political partyism as a new form of religion. It's preying on our monkey brain's desire to have a tribe and for that tribe to win.
It's all so tiresome.
