 @OCEAN has hit another block. it ain't much, but it's honest work heating my house.

the ups and downs of hashrate are me plugging miners in and unplugging miners as we deal with our very warm winter. 
 you manually unplug them? 
 Yes I do. 
 y no scripts? be lazier. 
 Hmm such as? I guess you could use the Braiins API and turn them off. I could probably write a script to execute. But it's just as easy to have the kids or my wife unplug one if they're hot or cold. 
 Oh. Child labor. I am all for that. 😂 
 The best kind 😂 
 Why promoting a miner that censors valid transactions and lies in there advertisements? 
 I don't think they're valid. They're spam that's exploiting a vulnerability. I wish I had more hash to help the cause. 
 What do you think of this sentence? https://image.nostr.build/8efd400eab8ef5d5c724b68ab8d1789cbccb8694ba5aa552a63026e615ea3cb6.jpg  
 this idiot is a satanic communist 
the opposite of what bitcoin was created for by cypherpunks
he should not be allowed to be anywhere near it 
 For sure 

I still waiting for an answer about that sentence from Ocean website saying that bitcoin in no longer censorship-resistant @Derek Ross 
 did you not watch the live stream?

he said that bitcoin wasn't censorship resistant because all it would take would be 1 subpoena and a majority of the hashpower would have to comply since the majority of hashpower is publicly traded US companies. it's very centralized. he started a new mining pool to add more options, increasing decentralization. 
 The solution it to work in P2Pool, why big guys don’t want it to work? 

The solution isn’t more pools, is P2Pool working.. 
 But i answer you, not him, you run from the question again.. 
 😂 my dude. I'm literally answering you and doing a dozen other things right now. I'm sorry I'm not engaged as you or answering the ways you'd like. I answered. I don't know how else to respond and explain it in a different way. 
 I only want to know if you think bitcoin isn’t censorship resistant, it’s difficult to answer that? 
 It is. However the potential for this to be hampered increases as centralization increases. I look forward to Stratum v2 in mass deployment. 
 No one capable is working on this P2Pool that solves it. 

Why?

 I like your thing, but sometimes i think you are with the ones that don’t really want to solve the problems.. 
 bitcoin is for anyone, even satanic communists, though i don't think communists would particularly like bitcoin. jokes aside, luke is incredibly religious. 
 Do you resonate with the sentence “Bitcoin is no longer censorship-resistant?” @Derek Ross 

It’s hard to answer this? 

They are paying you to do advertising? 

You can’t respond because of a contract? 
 @Luke Dashjr can you please send my upcoming advertising paycheck to my lightning address? thanks. 
 I made a simple question, and you are just running.. WTF 😳 
 Liar 
 Hey Luke I may not like the work you do but I appreciate the work you.
Keep on doing the great work you do.
Thank you for keeping diversity in the ecosystem. 
 I think they are valid, but its a waste of energy, but valid 
 Thankfully we have options, right? You can mine with another pool or you can mine with Ocean and point to the other block templates. 
 But why not to make P2Pool working, that will solve once for all the centralizing problems from mining 
 This is from the first ad, do you resonate with this sentence? https://image.nostr.build/8efd400eab8ef5d5c724b68ab8d1789cbccb8694ba5aa552a63026e615ea3cb6.jpg
