 Pft. Give that kid a ruck too and make them carry their own food and water and meds.  
 If it's Python. I ain't contributing.  
 I learned on Python. I just have cone to have a strong bias against it. Recommend paying attention to typing (Python had is optionally, Iirc). Learning basic Boolean logic and code flow is fine with Python. If you want to do system or protocol engineering, you need a compiled (Python is an interpreted language) and typed language. 

Just my two sats. Even if you're learning Python, you're ahead of most. 

Onward.  
 Highly recommend looking into Rust when you're ready. It'll be a lot if you're just starting out but lots of baby steps goes a long way. 
Go is probably fine too, especially if you're writing web servers.  
 Concur.  
 Reading Mastering Bitcoin goes a long way for building that knowledge.  
 🤌

 You can't stake bitcoin.  
 Your bitcoin is not staked. You're exchanging channel state that can always be taken to the main chain.  
 Lightning allows for unilateral exits from the channel. It is not staking.  
 Man Bitcoin Twitter is so dead lol

Onward.  
 It was time to harvest. The plants were stressed for most of the grow. I learned a lot.
#grownostr #weedstr

1. Raised beds are way better than the shit slate soil around here.
2. Minimal care means minimal yield.
3. Second year growing autoflower. Never again. Doesn't seem great for outdoor minimal intervention grows. 

Time to hang dry for a couple of weeks before we trim and cure.

 Good point. I'll grab it out when I get home.  
 Just never going to grow autoflower again. I for free seeds and learned the lesson over two years now. Back to good ol' fashion long grow bud.

 VIBES ARE TO THE MOON.  
 TIL How ASIC boost works.

You have X amount of data to hash from a block. Because SHA256 takes chunks (64byte) at a time, you can feed it all the 'constant' chunks first then 'save' the 'midstate' before introducing the chunks that need to change.

This saves ~20%. Idk why it's that % but I intend to find out.  
 I should read that... 
 SHA takes in chunks of data at a time. If you know the first X chunks of data will be the same (block template pieces like tx's) then you input that stuff first, now you have a 'midstate' or checknpoint to start from. You don't need to rehash those initial chunks. If you're doing SHA256 for secure comms, this is retarded and dangerous. If you just want PoW, it helps save ~20% work 
 Amy small business owners on #nostr not accepting #bitcoin? And why haven't you tried zaprite? #askNostr

(Unpaid shill and geunuine question) 

I think it's compelling for small businesses to consider a Strike/Zaprite combo.  
 I really want to test the possibility of building a #BitCoin  circular economy.

 I tried DVMs in #Amethyst and it said it made a request and awaiting replies. It was unclear what I should do from there.  
 It's not apparent where/who runs the DVM.
