    inet6 fe80::3597:15d8:74ff:e112/64 scope link noprefixroute
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

so the interface was enp1s0f0, because wlp is wireless and lo is localhost.

So on the P14s we assign an IP of 10.0.0.10 to the P51:

sudo ip address add 10.0.0.10/24 dev enp1s0f0

Then on the P51 analogously, giving IP of 10.0.0.20 to the P14s:

sudo ip address add 10.0.0.20/24 dev enp0s31f6

And after that, P14s can:

ping 10.0.0.10

and P51 can:

ping 10.0.0.20

TODO after a few seconds, the settings appear to be forgotten, and ping stops working unless you do sudo ip address add on the local machine again. This seems to happen after a popup appears saying "Activation of network connection failed" as it fails to obtain Internet from the cable.

TODO list and delete such manual assignments we've made.

Craig Steven Wright Updated 2025-07-16

This dude actually managed to convince a brain-dead British court that he was Satoshi and force a takedown of the Bitcoin whitepaper from bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf where it had been for many years prior: coinmarketcap.com/academy/article/bitcoin-org-ordered-to-take-down-bitcoin-whitepaper-because-of-copyright-infringement The page was updated to simply display the following Satoshi quote:

It takes advantage of the nature of information being easy to spread but hard to stifle. - Satoshi Nakamoto

The mere thought that Satoshi would attempt to copyright takedown the Bitcoin whitepaper, and not be able to back his identidy with any cryptographic keys, makes one shrivel to the bones.

Also, kids, this is why you put a fucking license on everything you release to the public, and especially when doing so anonymously!!! A quick CC BY-SA on that paper would have prevented all this bullshit.

The existence of this outrageous fraudster has had two good effects on the world however it must be said:

the release of Adam Back and Martti Malmi early email history with Satoshi: www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2024/02/23/new-emails-reveal-staggering-clues-to-the-mystery-of-bitcoin-creator-satoshi-nakamoto
the memes: Craig Steven Wright memes

Timeline:

2015-12-08 Wired article claims he may be Satoshi: www.wired.com/2015/12/bitcoins-creator-satoshi-nakamoto-is-probably-this-unknown-australian-genius/. A few days later, evidence of foul play emerged, and on 2019-04-30 Wired retracted the article altogether
2016-05-02 publicly claims he is Satoshi www.timesofisrael.com/australian-entrepreneur-craig-wright-says-he-created-bitcoin/
2024-05-20 British judge James Mellor fisting the fuck out of Craig: www.reuters.com/technology/self-proclaimed-bitcoin-inventor-lied-repeatedly-support-claim-says-uk-judge-2024-05-20/
An Australian computer scientist who claimed he invented bitcoin lied "extensively and repeatedly" and forged documents "on a grand scale" to support his false claim, a judge at London's High Court ruled on Monday.
Dr Wright presents himself as an extremely clever person. However, in my judgment, he is not nearly as clever as he thinks he is.

Cool data embedded in the Bitcoin blockchain / Cursed ordinal Updated 2025-07-16

 View more

These were ordinals that were only indexed in later versions of the script. So to prevent changing the useless indices of existing ordinals, they gave them negative numbers.

The word "cursed" is a meme from the 2010/20s, e.g. knowyourmeme.com/memes/cursed-images--2.

Some examples:

ordinals.com/inscription/4b9a822a057743813efbefa0dd21d0a01342ee793ce2ce5bd499a5f262187553i0 first inscription with no mime type.
ordinals.com/inscription/2fa287270e4203ca2fc9f82ea3de7a0f7b785875791a76387ef6f4ccbb54eee2i0 is -38:
Hello World, this is a Rust Taproot test
is bugged because it is missing the mime type, on Python:
```
[b"'a\xf9\x19X%\xa8Q\x87SP\xe5\xf2H\xa6\xeew\x0e\x81\xa5hl\xcd\xaa\x97e\xfeqJ\x16\x12?", OP_CHECKSIG, 0, OP_IF, b'ord', 1, b'text/plain', 0, b'Hello World, this is a Rust Taproot test\xe2\x80\xa6', OP_ENDIF]
```
because the 1 should instead be b'\x01.
