Wow is this project alive?
Less active than before, but it's still alive. CoinSwap is the next major milestone.
I remember a controversial decision was to not cap the supply and instead do endless inflation (albeit on a known, fixedscheduled). Several years later, how do you feel about that decision? Also what is CoinSwap?
I love endless constant inflation, it's the most fair way to distribute the coins without early users advantage. In comparison, Bitcoin distributed 13% of the total supply in the first year. The downside of the decision is that NgU doesn't work for Grin, yet (inflation tends to zero). So the community is rather small. CoinSwap is a method of mixing the UTXOs to break the linkability. Grin is focused on scalability, but also has hidden amounts and no addresses, but UTXOs can be traced by active sniffing node, so CoinSwap should help with this issue. https://github.com/mimblewimble/mwixnet
Travel posters.
What’s that?
Living in a dictatorship prison, defying terrorist, fighting with the death cult. Though they think they understand, but they don't.
Ooof good question Bookkeeping 🤣 love it when those numbers add up
Maximally satisfying $$
I love macroeconomics, it doesn't really line up with my peers who each have 3 fantasy sports leagues they “play” in
MACRODAN.
Oh your picking sid of waivers? I knew about the carry trade before it collapsed
the relation between physical symptoms and emotions. I don't know if people can't relate to that, maybe it's just that I'm afraid to talk about it
Not sure what to think of this
Yeap... I can relate to this. Many empaths even treat physical sympathy in their energetic field or find the source of their symptoms.
Read the Bible and having a close relationship to Jesus 🙏🏽🧡
Blessed be God forever
Handling two large, old boats in a dark winter night all alone… I do miss shit like that
Handling?
52 + 33 feet, maybe 40 tons altogether, move it alone from an anchorage inside a bay to somewhere else. Or move one of them when the engine tends to set itself on fire at regular intervals, most shit like this is fun to handle!
I learn new skills very fast. I learn different drawing skills and different mediums. Recently I started learning how to restore stone houses, off grid stuff, farm stuff... I don't know if I'll ever need it but hey! I'm a generalist in that sense. 🫣
I relate

Teaching/sharing as much as I learn.
Okay, hear me out. I’ve got into this thing called Bit Coin. It’s a crypto but not one of the bad ones apparently. This dude called Nakamodo built it or it might have been a group or actually I think the CIA. Anyway, he/they forgot about it and now it runs on its own. Cool, huh?

Last book that really resonated deeply was the creative act, by rick rubin. A variety of bitcoin adjacent stuff. Some leadership and basically be a better version of myself type books. Some stoic bits Any time someone mentions something i try to atleast look at it. Some spirituality-eque texts and the like. Not much fiction but a couple odd here n there.
OK that's really impressive! How much do you remember reading at your capacity? And do you read fiction or non-fiction? I read non-fiction only and found that I can read really quickly, but it improves my understanding much better if I spend an equal amount of time thinking about what I read and putting it together with what I know about reality.
Children’s books, some YA, classics, poetry, romance/women’s lit and a few non fiction books but those are rare 🫂 what about you?
