Oldest bitcoins ever spent just moved today. Experts all agree that they're most unlikely to be Satoshi coins. But what's super LOL about this is that the address in question (17XiVVooLcdCUCMf9s4t4jTExacxwFS5uh) is one of the ones that Craig Wright submitted in his court filing (https://od.gy/309) as being one of his Tulip Trust addresses that are impossible to access until the "bonded courier" arrives with the missing key fragment.

"The hard part of #currency design seems to be incentivizing the type of economic activity which leads to the kind of world we want to live in and avoiding hoarding and #speculation."
@raucao Rights are becoming a thing of the past, a bunch of thugs with guns tell you have to do something that's a violation of your "rights", how do you argue with that?

LibreOffice 7.0 is on the way! Our QA (quality assurance) community has announced the first Alpha release, for testing. The final version is due in early August. More details here: https://qa.blog.documentfoundation.org/2020/05/12/libreoffice-7-0-alpha1-is-ready-for-testing/
@falgn0n also in some places it says that the MUC needs to be registered members only as well as non-anon for omemo to work.
@falgn0n you can see my JID in that screenshot 😃 If the MUC is non-anonymous (JIDs can be seen by anyone) then the OMEMO works.
Got #XMPP working great! Using Prosody on the server and Gajim for the client side. All SSL connections, and OMEMO for both individual and chat rooms. Inline images, code blocks with syntax highlighting and offline messages forwarded to email! 🎉 🎉 🎉
Thrown my Keybase account in the bin along with Google, Facebook, Twitter and many more. Gone back to #XMPP for my group messaging now.
@loziniak @Naughtylus anybody can use Facebook too.
