I think the main point is that you have a known company standing behind their work, and documenting it properly.

Obviously Russia is doing badly now and can be thoroughly defeated. But at the same time, obviously Russia can rebuild their forces over time if we get another ceasefire. Which is exactly what they've done time and time again. I know you know you this. Why are you trolling?

“This explains why Russian troops have barely moved in February, coming to a near halt in the past two weeks.” A much simpler explanation is Russia is losing. They've been having severe economic problems, in part due to oil and gas infrastructure getting blown up by Ukraine. Rusisa does not have infinite men or equipment, and they've been clearly struggling. Hell, they're using lots of civilian vehicles due to a shortage of military vehicles. They've even started using horses and donkeys: https://video.nostr.build/e13b6a458fb52422508af9c2273878060e06137b1c59cc732fcc62ea6639f2bf.mp4 Russia hasn't "barely moved" in February. They've barely moved for much longer than that. They can't even get Ukrainians out of Kursk. That's a much simpler explanation than deal to "carve up" Ukraine. How do you think the US would "get the east"? And it's obvious that Europe has a seat at the table. They've been providing more weapons and money than the US, and Europe has nukes (France and the UK). Most recently French fighter jets were donated and are already flying missions, and the donated F16s came from the EU, not the US.

Good time to remind people I have a fundraiser to pay for the transaction fees the calendars use: https://geyser.fund/project/opentimestamps/leaderboard At the moment they have enough funds for a few more months of operation at current fee levels; more funding is always appreciated. With enough funding I can improve the precision of the timestamps with faster confirmations.
Awesome! Based on the fact that there was a noticable jump in timestamp volume before the Jan 1st deadline, it looks like you're one of tens of thousands of people who did that.

It is a supersonic sandblasting spray flying ballistically away from the camera at 2-3 kilometers per second, crossing the horizon and impacting many kilometers across the Moon.” https://x.com/DrPhiltill/status/1897043829917929838

OTOH making the signers private reduces risks of them being compromised by force. Same as how Tether refusing to release details about their bank accounts was arguably a good thing. nostr:nevent1qqsxmdjepwpea04xewcz3vf2f3trsr05fllghzgwg8gd2gefe57ah5spz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygpa9eg4pp5elx8s727mu7j9keeudpl7vss0geku99kepwgg65w4jspsgqqqqqqsjmwrsl
That's an exceptionally hard problem without whitelisting.

I mean, I think we're in agreement.

It's politics. The crypto reserve including XRP doesn't mean they lobbying didn't work. It means that if we didn't lobby, BTC wouldn't have been included at all.
