 Who has an historical overview/chart of miner efficiency (J/TH) over the years? #asknostr 
 Is there a reason why most of the zaps on this note don't show up in the reactions? Looked on Nos... 
 My guess is they only have paid relays. So the zap note is denied from people who are not paid relay members. 
 Or it's just slow. I just tested it, and my zap only showed up after a minute or so. 
 See if you can find your zap note, my guess is it's not relayed properly. Also couldn't find it on nostr:nprofile1qqsrlc5jrg347m9r9temsq68ejztgpqjvwd556c4t89scjl2qyfslwqpr3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt4w35ku7thv9kxcet59e3k7mgpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3yamnwvaz7tmsw4e8qmr9wpskwtn9wvu786f8. 
 Next level in home PCB making. Massive step change to capabilities for DIY projects. Still early days.

 Oh, this setup is way too complicated to ape in to. Everything combined would still be a $10k setup cost, at least. I look at this and see the state of 3D printers of maybe a decade ago, so it has some ways to go before it's something for larger groups of people to start tinkering with.

But it's very exciting, after 3D printing/laser cutting/CNC stuff, this is another really large increase in capabilities for home builders. Both  sintering and PCB making. It'll just take a few more years before we have turn-key hobbyist devices for both, but not much longer than that. 
 If we don't build it, who will? 
 The government. And if course they have only the very best of intentions.

 There is no single source of truth in Nostr, so you can't make the poll result the same for everybody. When everything can be made for free, there is no bound to what you can vote for. Zaps are the simplest way of tying a cost to a vote.

I don't think there's anything else available, except maybe Proof of Work notes, but support is limited and effectiveness is also limited. 
 There might be something usable in a web of trust fashion, that only the original poll author can publish a verified set of votes from people withing their sphere. 

This moves the attack vector to the original author, but maybe there's something possible with verification of all 'approved' votes by the author.

So, if you vote, you have to prove a certain 'closeness' to the vote author, and if the author closes the poll (or publishes intermediate results), a proof of the set of votes needs to be included.

But now I'm going a bit out of my depth. 
 Profiles are free, so people that don't have a direct connection with the author cannot vote then.

A vote should be both tamperproof from voters and the author.

 It's fine in Amethyst. 
 I don’t donate money to campaigns or even charities

I would love to, but i don’t trust them.... 
 It's a classic 'send me one and I'll send you two back' with the addition of 'when I'm elected' and of course that never happens. 
 From  @josephvoelbel on Twxtter:

'Pay Attention to Bitcoin' is now available for pre-order on Amazon. If each of you twitter folk would give it a look I'd be most honored.

Copy-pasta here as he looks inactive. Mr Pixel Paranoia is not on Nostr?

 TIL about Wikiloc. Looks amazeballs. Should have a zap function.

 I don't think we're far off 17k BitAxes out there. Wouldn't surprise me if a solo block is found within half a year. 
 I did a quick scrub on AliExpress and found ~1600 sold units of one of the BitAxe clones. My guess is official units have sold a lot more than that. 
 Didn't know HeatBit, but that's in a different price category, similar to FutureBit. Price x 10 is market / 10.

What's nice to see is they pop up in wide price and power ranges. 
 Reading their website, looks like a premium device with a combination of heating and air purification. Watching the teardown now.

They also have a good copy-writer, there's some funny stuff on there. 😄

 This is really quite cool, and makes me wish yet again that the series had concluded better. 

Ha... 
 They should do Breaking Bad. 
 Since when can people bring cats on planes? 
 If you pay for it. Friends did it because they moved across the world.

 So I'm low quality? Yeah I knew that. 😆 
 And 2000 is too many? That's elitist.

 I don't have an iPhone or Damus, but how does this work actually? 
 TIL  @primal is capping my follows to 1600 and I cannot follow anyone else because of an ominous warning. The only app that kinds works now is Amethyst, at least it shows I'm following close to 2500 people, but the timeline doesn't refresh automatically.

If your client does something with follows, please test your app with my npub. A lot of stuff breaks when you go over ~2000 follows.

And I know I can trim it down, as probably a lot of follows are stale. But that's not the solution. 
 Thank you for making me feel special! But I don't think 2000 is really such an extraordinary number?

I'm familiar with the underlying logistics, and jamming everything in a single REQ will currently blow stuff up. In an age of multi megabyte websites and gigabyte photo's, 2000 keys is a really tiny number. The array itself is ~160kb JSON. Even for a phone that's peanuts, let alone for a server. AFAIK most relay implementation bumped their max list size a while ago, but that obviously isn't the only issue here.

I never got gossip to work, as I couldn't get it to pick up my follows as well, even when it was smaller. But should indeed try it again. 
 Not followers, follows. I'm just a weirdo that follows anyone that's not a bot. 
 TIL counting viewers of an HLS live stream is a hard fucking problem and there's no right answer.... 
 See it as a feature, not as a bug.

 This is true for all written communications. Emails, private texts, letters, blogs, notes. 
 Am I doing anything wrong? I wanted to stress-test with my 2487 follows.

 Looks like the connection to purplepages and wikifreedia websockets are not going anywhere.

 Nothing. I might be IP blocked by purplepag.es. 
 Framework introduces a RISC-V mainboard. Not a powerhouse, but the fact you can rip out the normal mainboard and put this into the existing frame makes it very interesting for RISC-V tinkering.

 I have a similar but slightly less annoying gripe with the tiny JBL Go. They have start-up and shutdown chimes. It's not even very loud, if you turn the device on during the day. But what's normal during the day can be extremely loud if the whole house is asleep. I just want to listen to a little bit of music on the lowest volume, but before I can do that, it has to wake up the whole house first.

Just a tiny - beep - is fine, which they had on the first JBL Go. But in the name of progress, all subsequent models have have a loud DUM DUMMM.

JBL are assholes.
