West Virgina Proposes Vexit To Virginians Angry Over Rule By DC Commuters

Posted on by

West Virginia's governor and legislature have begun inviting counties unhappy with the takeover of Virginia State government by DC commuters to join his state in secession (archived). A full 91 out of 95 Virginia counties have already passed resolutions declaring themselves "second amendment sanctuaries" or adopting some other status in defiance of Virginia's new political norms, and they did so before the armed march on Richmond (archived).

While the Pantsuitist "mainstream" is dismissive of the possibility, demographic shifts driven by USG hypertrophy have an unseemly vast geographical majority of Virginia governed by a headcount majority that unproductively sits around the USG's capitol supporting a plainly criminal enterprise.

The container arrived via the International Falls port of entry in Minnesota holding 45 packages of dollar notes totaling $900,000.

Entire Argentine Judiciary Paralyzed As Computers Stop Working For Them

Posted on by

Argentina's courts are paralyzed after the Lex100 system they use for everything stopped working six days ago (archived). This is not the first time the system has gone down (archived), but it is the longest time Argentina's courts have been without this one system they built everything they do around. This makes the pretense of Argentina having a legal profession still more laughable than it already was. Continue reading →

Some altcoin Forked Off Of Bitcoin Forking Again To Implement Developer Tax On Block Rewards

Posted on by

Roger Ver (WoT:nonperson) and Jihan Wu (WoT:nonperson), have announced a 6 month plan to implement a 12.5% tax on block rewards in order to fund development on their ailing forkcoin project. The developer tax will fuck the altcoin's protocol layer to orphan blocks by miners refusing to participate in the redistribution of wealth towards an entity known only as the "Hong Kong corporation" at press time. Details regarding who will receive funding and how supposedly remains under discussion. Some BCH miners have expressed displeasure with the tax, though BTC.TOP mining pool founder Jiang Zhuoer (WoT:nonperson) claims the issue isn't up for debate, going so far as to quote former Chinese communist party leader Deng Xiaoping in defense of the move:

Non-debate theory is my invention. Non-debate, is to gain time to work hard. When you debate, everything becomes more complicated and it wastes time. Nothing can be done. Don’t debate, and just try. Be brave and experiment.

Plans are for the mandatory tax to become effective on May 15 when their biannual hard fork "update" is scheduled.

Power Rangers Pushing "Taproot" Into Their Bitcoin Network Client Fork

Posted on by

In his continuing mission to wreck Bitcoin, Pieter Wuille (WoT:sipa) has submitted a final proposal for 3 new "BIPs" and a pull request to the "Bitcoin Core" Shithub that will introduce Schnorr signatures and a new mEthereum-like addition called taproot via a "soft fork" to the protocol. Schnorr signature schemes were discussed in #trilema as far back as 2017, and determined to be attractive to PRB users because they are a match made in heaven for individuals using Segwit, multisig, or other "anyone can spend" schemes. Taproot was proposed in January of last year by Greg Maxwell (WoT:gmaxwell) and is an attempt to add "smart contract" functionality to Bitcoin, supporters having quickly forgotten about the SFYL that occurs when one consciously chooses to huff "smart contract" Jenkem. As always, users of actual Bitcoin will not be affected.
