I’ll be moving my hashrate to ocean mining to try and mine the halving block for the sole reason of blocking inscriboors from getting the mythical halving sat and perpetuating the myth that sats are unique.
I challenge you to work on being correct rather than being right. We tend to tie self and social worth to being right, even when that is irrational.

Have you tried https://openagents.com yet? Multiple LLM chat in one interface. A free mode plus you can pay for Pro with Lightning. Message @Christopher David for that.
Loving it so far.
There are lots of grants for Bitcoin developers, but none that I have seen for policy or environmental research.
I support this campaign by Margot Paez:

It should be displayed vertically instead of horizontally. When new tx are broadcast, they should fly “into the queue” from offscreen, bumping your tx down, if it’s a lower fee.
One benefit to a high-fee mempool is that not many new channels are being opened, and some desirable payment destinations need more liquidity. If you're brave enough to open new channels, there could be decent fee-earnings on the table. Focus your effort:

Here is an easy way to find nodes that cost the most to reach:

Offering liquidity to some of these could be profitable if you run a routing node.

The Wall is leaning out our channels and opening a few new ones. You may have also noticed that our minimum is now 10M too.
If you’re a serious noderunner and 10M is too high, drop me a dm and maybe we can work something out. No balanced opens for the time being though.
I just watched a good video by The Plain Bagel about the Canadian housing market. The prevailing theory is that there is a crash coming. Young people who bought homes with ultra low rates are going to be in for a shock when they need to renew their mortgages at 6%. Many won’t be able to afford it. It’s a sad thing to think about for those people, but if you can wait a bit, there might be a buying opportunity incoming.
When I had my furnace replaced last year I had the installers cut me an intake for the miner. It’s working like a charm now and I can cap it in the summer.
