Parman - Activate OP_GFY now!!

BIP 110 - read it, don't be told how to think, Bitcoiner.

There is no worse sound than someone slowly biting a crunchy brittle apple, with reverberation going through their face and sinuses.

There was beautiful and touching obituary to Matt Odell's reputation today. https://youtu.be/5_aOb0Mru28

Running BIP 110

On BIP 110, miners, and chain splits... It's helpful to separate miners who want fiat, and miners who want bitcoin. It's fundamental, and no one does this. Miners who want bitcoin, are part of the choice of soft fork, their opinion and the node they choose matters. Effectively they are nodes (Nodes are people who want bitcoin, and actively choose to enforce their rules). Miners (who want fiat) work for Bitcoiners. Their opinions don't matter. Suppose all miners were fiat people and not supportive of BIp110, and suppose every node runner supported bip110... The nodes that the miners in this case run, say core 30, are irrelevant because these people don't want to accumulate bitcoin, and so they don't contribute to the value of that version of bitcoin (whichever version they choose matters little because they aren't accumulating the coin, they're selling it after mining). If they choose against nodes, they are mining a coin Bitcoiners don't want - it has no value ultimately, even if it has the highest hashpower. It's a hash-secured worthless coin. The valuable version (valuable because all people who want bitcoin choose to accumulate it) will have less hashpower. But because it's valuable, miners will defect to mine it and earn fiat (and difficulty being low will make it lucrative for those in first). Ultimately, one must understand that mining doesn't give bitcoin value, it only helps it function, it's PEOPLE WHO WANT IT that give it value, and if these people run nodes, they get a say in what it is.

If anyone wants a video of how to enable BIP110 on Parmanode, here it is. Please share. https://youtu.be/JpvNDL9Opns

If you had two ParmaDrives, you can keep one offsite, and it acts as you personal cloud storage. I configure a private secure connection between the machines, and you click buttons and back up the files you want to back up. The software functionality is embedded into Parmanode as a premium feature. https://parman.org

You can just keep buying bitcoin without trying to predict the price

Crypto is barter. Bitcoin is money.

The reason Bitcoin is not going up is because you're being stubborn and not getting a ParmanodL Bitcoin laptop node. I'm not angry. I'm just disappointed. Especially you, @Michael Saylor

What does a #ParmAirGap ™ Laptop do for you? 1) Safe key generation - Follow Parman's Dice roll guide, or pick words with pre-loaded Ian Coleman's BIP39 tool. 2) Key testing/verification - check the seed you use on your hardware wallet is correctly generating addresses and not using a secret parallel seed to trick you. 3) Writing encrypted letters - See Parman's guide to encrypt files with gpg. 4) Key storage - the ParmAirGap drive is encrypted. Anyone who takes it apart and removes the drive can't read the drive. 5) Stateless wallet access - You can, but don't necessarily need to keep the seeds on the device if you're nervous about that; you'll just need to type in the seeds into Electrum/Sparrow each time. 6) Signing device (use the laptop camera to capture QR codes from your ParmandL transaction/node Laptop screen). Electrum/Sparrow signs, then shows a valid signed transaction QR on screen, which you capture with an internet-connected transaction computer. 7) OPTIONAL - Add an additional redundant password for drive encryption, with Parman available for recovery. NOTABLE FEATURES: The internal drive is encrypted, so even if an attacker takes apart the machine, they cannot explore the contents of the drive. Comes with a separate emergency unlock USB key, should you ever forget your password. Keep it safe and don't store it with the machine! The WiFi, Bluetooth, and WWAN (mobile) chips have been physically removed, and antenna wire connections removed. The BIOS has been configured for optimal security and tamper resistance. A hardware password is required to use the device (before the OS asks for a password). The Terminal history has been disabled. It has a webcam so you can use QR code communication. The USB ports are functional - you can take new USB drives, format them with the ParmAirGap, and encrypt and transfer data. On the machine, you'll find Linux Mint operating system, Electrum Wallet, Sparrow Wallet, Ian Coleman's BIP39 key generation tool, and the BIP39 wordlist. GPG is installed by default and it can be used to encrypt files - A guide to use gpg is included. ParmaShell - Open source shortcuts to give you a more beautiful and easy Terminal experience. Extra security in that a ParmAirGap looks like a regular laptop rather than a known Bitcoin device. A SEEDSIGNER IS GREAT - but because I get asked about the differences... 1) Writing encrypted letters - otherwise not possible on Seedsigner. Copy the letter to USB drive and hand it to a lawyer for example. 2) Key storage (but you should encrypt if you do that, eg password protected wallet files). This is not possible with SS as it is stateless; you are encouraged to put it on paper or equivalent, which doesn't get encrypted. But you can use ParmAirGap in a stateless way if you choose. 3) You can generate a wallet and addresses with an open source wallet (as Seedsigner does), but with ParmAirGap, you have two other open source wallets to compare the results. This way, you're not even trusting any open source software - it removes the paranoid need to actually read the code. 4) A Seedsigner LOOKS like a Bitcoin device, it is known. A ParmAirGap looks like a regular laptop, and so is better disguised. I list it here: https://parman.org

If you want to publish your own work, business, or writing online (clearnet or darkweb ie Tor), with or without accepting bitcoin/lightning for payment using a self-hosted (or hosted) payment processor, you have a wonderful opportunity to unwisely consider not engaging Parman.

Buy bitcoin and play Bach. Hurry up, life is short.

If someone were to be playing a racing simulation game like Gran Turismo, doing laps and honing their skills, a person watching might get insanely bored, but the person playing could be in the zone, forgetting all their troubles, and highly focussed, while having a great time... This is what I think it's like to hear someone playing Bach, vs playing Bach yourself. I promise, it's incredible. It's not just some melody you might like to hum along to or not - there is so much going on on so many levels. I wish for you to experience it.

The encheapification of Bitcoin is a gift. Merry Christmas.

I'm sorry to have to bring you this news, but you need significantly more bitcoin than you currently have today.

A Bitcoin node is not software or a machine... It is a person who actively decides what Bitcoin is by connecting to their preferred version when required. During times of peace, no connection is necessary (for this specified purpose -there are other reasons, see links below). During war, eg 2017, only those making a choice are nodes. If a person connects their wallet to Parmanode or Star9, or Umbrel, but doesn't agree with it when push comes to shove, they are not a node. So it's not just copies of the blockchain in active sync, because if it was just about that, it's plenty redundant. Fundamentally it's people who are not passive. The software is just to help them be an active participant when required. https://armantheparman.com/why-should-you-run-your-own-bi… https://armantheparman.com/decentralisation/
