I actually have the code written for my own payment processor (including crypto)--that's the easy part. The hard part is the money transmitter license fees, which are insane and make it impossible to bootstrap.

Can you explain what it's showing? I clicked the "About" link but there's no README, and all I see is a Clickhouse query. What is the data?

Curious if there's a reason this extension is written in Go and not Zig? The blog posted [1] a few months ago about their cool Zig library for making extensions and I've been playing around with it. Is Zig just not mature enough?

I didn't notice but the dedicated machines are indeed "vCPU". But isn't that how all VPS providers do it? How else would they manage/sandbox the machines?

You should spend a few years in a third world country. Your righteous liberal rage will evaporate as quickly as your feeling of safety (which you take for granted).

In general, cash is fungible. You gave an example of a "shade of fungibility" with marked cash used in crimes. Unfortunately, reality is not binary. Ethereum is fungible to the (increasingly small) non-OFAC compliant nodes, but no

I am using it in that manner. Ethereum OFAC compliance is enforced at the protocol level [1] so not all Ethereum are equal. Just like your "drug buy" example, some Ethereum are tainted. In fact, thanks to the public blockchain, I

Ethereum (+tokens) that go through Tornado Cash are "tainted" and sometimes censored [1]. This means not all Ethereum are equal. Btw, calling Tornado Cash a "DPRK tool" is disingenuous. It's a privacy tool. [1]: ht

It became even harder once Ethereum became non-fungible thanks to Tornado Cash and OFAC.

Whenever I keep safe distance, I'll have cars close behind me and other cars filling in the gap I created. Then my problem is the same: an unsafe driver ahead of me who could easily cause an accident, and not enough time to react. It&#

I frequently pass cars that have signs of an impaired driver. Usually the driver is texting, but the signs are usually failure to maintain lane, frequent (unnecessary) brake tapping, and sporadic acceleration. Something that impedes my abil

The model described in the parent comment is essentially using the database (in this case PostgreSQL, but any RDMS would do) as the hexagonal "core" in which adapters plug in to. This is a powerful pattern that works very well whe
