I basically own their Google business account and they have no idea because they've never cared about their online presence.

You don't have to learn to code to grow Bitcoin or grow Nostr.

You can contribute financially to those building these protocols or building on top of them.

You can educate and evangelize to the people in your community. You'll have better luck at this in meatspace than on tribalistic legacy social media.

You can write a book, produce videos, record a podcast.

You can support businesses that accept Bitcoin. Buy their products or services.

Transact on exchanges that align with the ethos of freedom (AKA no-KYC).

There are so many ways that you can contribute.

Stack and hodl is not enough.

Really enjoying watching the #Unconfiscatable 2023 conference so far. Lots of thoughtful discussion and I detect no bullshit so far.


Also log charts are the proper chart to look at when you're viewing something on a multi year timeframe that has changed in price exponentially as Bitcoin has.


#Bitcoin has been in a bull market for 13 years.

There has never been a bear market. Never.

When the price deviates too far above the trend, it inevitably reverts back to the trend.

The trend has always been upward. Look at the lows, not the highs. 🚀

When your sent:received zaps ratio is 10:1 or more, know that I am judging you harshly. Just saying. 🤷


*KYC-free stack I meant


Lmao. Haters gonna hate. Monero will never be a store of value, but it is legitimately handy for making anon transactions without all the possibilities to shoot yourself in the foot like Bitcoin.

That's also probably a big reason why I'm such a proponent of no KYC. Just because it makes Bitcoin a lot easier to use sedonymously. If your stack doesn't have KYC to begin with, it's much easier to spend it anonymously.


I had a KYC stack of Bitcoin in one of the addresses in my coldcard until I accidentally combined the wrong UTXOs in a transaction in sparrow wallet. After doing that those two UTXOs are forever associated with each other. 🤷

The silent fans I put on my S9K were only running at 700rpm and seemed to be causing a fault that made it stop mining. The stock fans are louder than a shop vac and I can't run them in my bedroom and maintain my sanity. They're so loud you can hear them down the stairwell outside my apartment.

I ordered some 3000 RPM Noctura fans and hoping they work with this miner. They say they're only 42 Db so that should be tolerable. Might plug the S9 into a timer so it shuts off at bedtime and comes back on when it's time for me to wake up.

I bet I've spent more Bitcoin in the past ten years than you've ever stacked. But I'm also not a tribalistic purist. That's pure ignorance. You seen to have a limited understanding about both Bitcoin and Monero, yet you bark loudly and ignorantly about both. You should go back to Twitter and stick to posting price charts.


You're not trying to have a serious conversation anymore.


I get some when I need to use it. Would never use Bitcoin for a DNM transaction. Monero is cheaper faster easier and likely much safer than trying to do a bitcoin coin join transaction.

Always use the right tool for the job 🤷


That's how you should view it, yes.

All the Monero I mined back in the day I swapped for Bitcoin.

When I wish to make a Monero transaction I just buy some with Bitcoin on a no-kyc exchange and do the deed. Sometimes I have a little sitting in my wallet. Bitcoin is my savings vehicle though.


It's simply a way to test and prove novel features. We have to test privacy improvements somehow, and we shouldn't be testing them on Bitcoin, as it is the main chain. The big daddy. Can't afford to make mistakes there. So we need other networks to test them on.

It's a falsehood to say that Bitcoin has reached a state of perfection and needs no more improvement. This is the complacency of many bitcoiners, and complacency kills.


Because privacy is badwrong? 🤷


I've used it when I needed transaction secrecy. I've mined it and swapped it for Bitcoin because it was still minable with CPUs. FWIW, I've always viewed the project as a testbed for novel privacy technology. Maybe one day after some of these features have been thoroughly tested and proven, they can be Incorporated into Bitcoin.

After all these years, I'm still on the fence as to whether Bitcoin's transparency is flaw or feature.

It's a privacy concern for some users.

On the other hand, imagine your government on a Bitcoin standard, where all of their spending could be independently audited at any time. US DoD wouldn't have $2 trillion unaccounted for. 🤷

The Bitcoin chain is an honest accounting of transactions, for better or worse.

I thought at the time that the big blockers had legitimate concerns over scaling, but that their simplistic solution wasn't the right answer. Vote with your hashpower IS the way. In that aspect, the system is working as Satoshi intended. This is why every pleb should run a miner if they can.

Too many miners care only about revenue and don't give a rat's ass about cypherpunk ethos. It just be like that. People who care about these things (myself included) should start producing more hashpower. Unfortunately my apartment isn't wired for it. When I buy a house though I'm going to wire up my basement and start filling it with ASICs.


Agree on all points. nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze should have been forthcoming about this policy from the get go. Also I'm very disappointed that StratumV2 hasn't been widely implemented yet. I suspect pool operators maybe don't wish to abdicate this control.

We definitely need to see more pools come online. I guess perhaps I shouldn't just sit here and bitch about it while waiting for others to take action. Perhaps I should launch a pool myself? 🤷

The system is working exactly as intended! Vote with your hashpower. Everything else is just opinion and words.

This is why I believe every bitcoiner should mine in whatever capacity they can, however big or small. If you're screaming your opinion loudly on nostr over this topic, I sure hope you're mining. Otherwise you're just part of the peanut gallery.


Here's my two sats:

The uproar over nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze filtering what they consider to be transaction spam reminds me very much of when people were raging at Primal for filtering Semisol out of the trending feed.

In both cases, my take was the same: you can use a different client, and you can mine to a different pool.

#Bitcoin and #Nostr are both open protocols.

If you don't like what Ocean is doing, then don't give them your hashpower. If you agree that ordinals are transaction spam, you should point your hashpower to this pool.

Also, FWIW, it appears that whirlpool transactions were simply caught up in this filtering as an Innocent bystander due to their OP_RETURN byte size. 🤷

Not saying you shouldn't express your views on Nostr. Rage away if you want to and try to change other's minds about it if you feel compelled to. But more importantly, vote with your hashpower. 💪🫡

Interesting. As far as multi sig setups go, this seems like a sane setup for most people. Good gift for your less technically adept family relatives.

I've really never liked multi sig. Makes sense for some people/organizations but not for everyday folks. This seems to take most of the potential pain points out of using multi sig however.

Not a solution for the truly paranoid, as two of three keys are on Internet connected devices. But it's still much more secure than your fiat bank account likely is.

GM and GN!


When you are on the path of speaking your truth and embodying your true authentic light, a lot of people are gonna get disappointed in you.

Especially the people that resonated with an expired version of you, your boldness towards truth will piss them off.

When you live a life of self love you start making choices that are in alignment with your highest self. You no longer act out of obligation or seek validation, and that triggers everyone that benefitted from your self doubt.

You gotta step in your light and choose everything that’s gonna push you towards expansion and growth. You are not supposed to carry the burden of your expired version for your entire life.

Everyone is doing what’s best for them, it’s time you start doing what’s best for your highest self.

You're supposed to put ricotta in lasagna but actually I find cottage cheese is more flavorful as a substitute.


Ok this one might suck but I'll withhold judgement for a bit until I know more


I've had it. My mother thought it was good. I never cared for it. Sweet with cottage cheese throws my taste buds off.

I'll go through the warm months of the year without really consuming any sugar at all, but when it starts getting cold and dark I start having a little here and there


Sugar is a shitcoin. But it's ok to dabble in this particular shitcoin sparingly. A teaspoon here and there won't kill your metabolism. Avoid it the first half of the day at least.


Modern architecture is a shitcoin


Yeah I can't do that flavor combo. It's very off putting.

So many of us have the mentality that we alone are not enough to fix anything but it's surprising how much one person actually can do.


I studied through LearnKey and they had a great video series. About 20 hours off training videos. Watched them through a couple times at least. Watched some parts even more times. Think it's only available to veterans though. But TBH I never really bothered to crack open the CompTIA textbook that I had and I passed the exam on the first try. Text books aren't ideal for me.

I highly recommend dabbling in the writings of Abdullah Ocalon, especially Roots of Civilization.

I don't agree with his prescribed solutions, but his understanding of human history is 100% on point.


Natives were never enslaved. They were disenfranchised. Stone age tribes that hadn't even invented the wheel could have never hoped to resist the spread of civilization. It started in the middle east over 6000 years ago, and has been evolving and spreading across the globe ever since, setting up franchises. When one franchise fails somewhere another takes it's place and the idea lives on.

I highly recommend reading the writings of Abdullah Ocalon on this subject.

I had to get thrown in jail before I decided to give it a serious look.

Read Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts first. All the most important lessons are in these five books and they only make up about 10% of the Bible but they are the core of Christianity.

So many people get hung up on other parts of the Bible but completely fail to live up to the important teachings in this part of the Bible.

Later if you decide to read the old testament, take it with a big grain of salt. Especially Genesis. Those are thousands of years old stories taken from ancient tablets of forgotten origin and I think probably much truth has been lost.

The teachings of Jesus are what is most important to understand and try to live up to.


Trustless P2P electronic cash. That was always the goal. FWIW I was around to spectate the block size wars. The other side had valid concerns that are still valid. They just didn't have an elegant solution.

I advocate financial freedom for all, not just those who can afford it. If we're not careful Bitcoin as an instrument of financial self-sovereignty may become a tool of the wealthy while everyone else gets pushed off into using custodial L2 services.


It can be addictive because it can feel very empowering.

A good antidote is to study the first five books of the New Testament.


IMO trustless P2P electronic cash is the original and only valid use case and anything that deviates from that should be rejected. If somebody wants to add non-financial functionality to Bitcoin then they should fork it to do so like so many others have done.


We shall agree to disagree on this point.


Ground shipping is ok AFAIK but not air.


I believe that it IS a problem, but let's proceed carefully.

I updated my node a while back just so I could inscribe a blueprint of an AR-15 auto sear. Then I spent the inscription in a regular transaction just to put it into circulation.

My node has been offline for a while because my PC needs repaired, but when I get it to and running again I'm going to roll it back to stop supporting this nonsense.


Anything that deviates from the P2P electronic cash goal should be rejected. Anything that improves this use case should be supported. Taproot is currently both. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. It needs to be fixed, but we should have a very careful and thoughtful discussion on how to proceed.


Also don't simp for the wealthy to plow their with into #Bitcoin just to pump your bags. They'll get there eventually but I'd rather they be the last to the party.

I'm more interested in empowering the poor and financially oppressed around the world. 💪🧡

The original use case for #Bitcoin is the only use case that it needs.

Less than 1% of the global population is actually using it as money today. We're trying to onboard the other 99%.

Focus on that goal, and reject anything that deviates from that goal.

There are plenty of other networks to put jpegs and shitty tokens on.


Imagine a company shipping grains of rice in boxes.

One day, a charlatan fools some rice consumers into thinking that rice grains are tastier if first painstakingly ordered by their texture, shape, and color before being packed into the boxes and shipped.

As a result of this procedure, every rice consumer now pays a higher price per shipped box. At least as long as the charlatan is still able to fool people.

The major rice shipping companies are still happy because they get paid more per box. As long as people still choose to consume rice instead of something else. The charlatan is very good at scamming people and even dresses up as a wizard to show how magic his new rice-ordering procedure is.

Suddenly, a new rice shipping company enters the market, willing to call out the charlatan's bullshit and start shipping rice the old-fashioned way, without the pointless rice-grain ordering.

They point out that rice will be more popular in general if normal rice consumers aren't forced to pay a premium because of the whims of a scammer.

The charlatan and his followers call this refusal to play along with the scheme "censorship." They claim that ordering the grains is a "technological advancement."

In the end, the wizard and his rice ordering don't age very well, and people start preferring the new shipping company over the old one.

I see no falsehoods in this statement 👆


Nodes that were committed to securing our P2P digital cash network have suddenly been committed to storing bullshit non-financial data whether they wanted to be or not. If they choose to stop supporting this ancillary use case that's not censorship. Fuck Udi and the jpeg people. Fuck BRC-20 shitcoins. Go build your own network or play on eThErEuM.

I stuck this US federal felony on the Blockchain just to prove a point. Ordinals are hijacking your node against your intentions. Discarding this data doesn't make you a bad actor. The people putting graffiti into the financial data you're trying to store are the bad actors.

Anarchy is the non-aggression principle, which is a rule: the golden rule, and the second commandment of Jesus Christ. Love thy neighbor, AKA do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

No just society without this rule.

Bitcoin is a system of rules. No perfect money without these rules.


Yes fees will go up with adoption of the P2P cash use case. But adding more use cases, especially something like inscriptions, makes this exponentially worse. Bitcoin already is the killer app with it's original use case. It doesn't need more use cases, especially if they render the original use case nearly unusable for most users.


My kids will think I was insane for doing this some day 🤣

Don't let shitcoiners turn Bitcoin into ethereum


Correct, anything that can be done will be done, and that's why devs have been working this whole time to harden the network against spam attacks. The original use case was trustless P2P digital cash. We must ensure that use case remains viable. Many have lost sight of that goal. Beware false prophets. Fix the money, fix the world. Break the money, and the world doesn't get fixed.


I will dabble in mining a new proof of work coin from time to time if it does something interesting.

I mined about 40k PKT because it had an interesting PoW mechanism that nobody had tried before.

I traded half the stack for Bitcoin when it got listed on a couple exchanges.

It's since been delisted on one of the two exchanges and is trading barely a tick above zero on the other, so the other half of the stack is pretty much worthless. But the Bitcoin I did get was worth way more than the watts of electricity that I spent mining it early on. 🤷

The concept behind this project was a good idea, but they should have just used Bitcoin lightning to monetize their bandwidth sharing network instead of coming up with a new coin.


GM!


Not if said shitcoin gets delisted


I felt that way this whole time but couldn't articulate it as well as Will just did.


There's a difference between an orderly free markets and total lawlessness. Bitcoin is a system of rules. Ordinals are an exploit attack against a loophole in those rules. The loophole should be closed.


That be the hard part when Bitcoin starts pumping.

Be careful not to rub it in to your no-coiner friends and family too much.

Pride before the fall.


A more interesting metric IMO is to divide 21M by the world population, which gives you a "fair share" of about 206k sats per person.

If only 10% of the world population holds Bitcoin, that's still only a little over 2 million sats per person.

So everyone holding tens or hundreds of millions of sats should consider themselves set for life.

Stay humble and stack sats my brother in Bitcoin.


💯 agree! Thanks to Will for articulating this!

When Bitcoin starts pumping like this all the shitcoin bag holders on X start screaming "WE'RE NEXT!"


Antagonizing the BSVtards is low-hanging fruit, but it's an itch I have to scratch from time to time and it's one of the reasons why I can't get rid of my X account. Maybe I'm just a dick, but I'm having fun.

The only thing funnier than reading posts from BSVtards on X is reading all of the replies. 🤣

You might want to wash your eyes with bleach after reading them though.


So, me suspect that all the #Bitcoin influencoors on X who are currently discussing what price will be the top of this rally are planning to try to time and sell the top so they can retire with a bag of dirty fiat. Bye bye and don't let the door hit you on the way out! 👋🤣

Bitcoin might keep going up right now 📈

Bitcoin might drop again soon 📉

Trying to guess is a craps shoot, but one thing is certain:

Leveraged traders get rekt in both directions and hodlers will keep stacking either way 🤷


RIP, again. 🤣

For most Bitcoin influencoors on Twitter,
♾/21M is the extent of their Bitcoin knowledge.

That's why they're intimidated by #Nostr and won't post over here. They'd be way out of their depth.

They could learn so much over here, but they're afraid to admit their ignorance and start asking questions.

They parrot the mantra "stay humble and stack sats" but they don't live the humble part.


Bitcoin Twitter lately is all price action talk and price charts.

Nobody is talking about lightning or merchant adoption.

These price obsessed influencoors are as bad as any other shitcoiners.

No wonder they're scared to come over to Nostr.

I bet most of them keep their sats on exchanges too. 🙄


If you didn't spend the whole UTXO that the transaction came from, then you can send another transaction with that same UTXO and a higher fee and both will get confirmed.


Yeah I had a transaction stuck in the mempool for a couple weeks the last time that ordinal spam drove up fees like this. 🤷


You're supposed to keep tax documents for 7 years in the USA. I throw everything away. IMO if the IRS wants records kept then they can keep their own damn records. They have no right to place this record keeping burden on me and if they don't agree they can get fucked. 🤷


So there's no on-chain transaction activity involved in this?


Does this require opening a new LN channel?


Yikes! Wishing you good health soon!

I think Primal is probably the closest to doing that right now.


I've been wanting to consolidate all of my kids' UTXOs onto a new hardware wallet but I haven't done it yet because of the fees lately. Maybe I should because what if fees only go up more?


Yep. But really this ain't shit. Wait until the wealthy start using it to move money around for real. $1000 is 0.1% of $1 million. They won't GAF about high network fees, but it's going to suck for us plebs. We'll all be forced to use custodial lightning services.

People who make Bitcoin price predictions, either bullish or bearish, are idiots and deserve ridicule. They're almost always wrong. If they end up being right once, they're not geniuses, they're just lucky. Don't play the price action game 🎲🎲


Somebody better check in on that Capo guy


Markets that go straight up usually end up retracing at least 50% of the rally. But there's no telling how long the up and up part will last. Don't try to time it. Just continue your regular DCA if that's what you've been doing, or buy when you have extra money left over if that's what you've been doing. I never check a price chart before I buy anymore, and the price doesn't dictate how much or when I buy, my budget does.

Back when you could first buy and send Bitcoin with CashApp I decided to give it a try. Bought some Bitcoin and withdrew it. The next day they closed my account for 'suspicious transaction activity' and wouldn't give me any specifics. Been saying fuck CashApp ever since.


Have a fiat emergency fund always. Life is unpredictable and if you're all in on Bitcoin you may end up having to sell to survive something unexpected. I leaned this lesson the hard way. Had to go through it more than once in the last ten years.

Democrats in Idaho are registering as Republicans just to fuck with the GOP primary. Then they vote blue in the general. They still don't have the numbers to fuck things up in the general election. This state votes red by about a 30% margin. But a lot of us here have been trying to vote out the RINOs in the primary and replace them with real conservatives, and activist Dems are trying to stop us by voting in the primaries for RINOs who won't change the status quo.


Still won't get us out of the financial hole that our wise government overlords have dug us into.

As of September 2023 the total net worth of all American billionaires is a bit over $5 trillion.

The annual interest on the federal debt is getting very close to $1 trillion.

So you could confiscate 100% of the wealth of all American billionaires, and you would be able to afford to pay just the interest on the federal debt for about 5.5 years.

That of course assumes that the debt is frozen and doesn't keep getting bigger every year.

The whole thing is fucked.


GM!

ETFs will bring volatility and that vol will cut both ways. The problem isn't people buying shares, it's people with very deep pockets trading options on those ETFs. Options gamma is the tail that wags the dog, and we will see much shenanigans ensue.


I fucked up. Had some clean Bitcoin but was keeping clean and KYC in different addresses in the same HWW and once accidentally combined the wrong UTXOs in sparrow wallet. The wallet chose those UTXOs on it's own and I didn't notice and correct it. So now the whole stack is no longer clean because it's associated with the KYC stack from that one transaction that I sent to my kids.


My Dad is the eldest of the Gen X generation cohort and the embodiment of that Gen X apathy when it comes to anything financial. He DGAF about Bitcoin.

Jesus! Scary proposal and I wouldn't expect to to even be effective. Very bad for privacy. Credit cards are effective for verifying age. The other day a customer in my store (21+ because we sell nicotine) tried to pay with her daughter's card and my PoS declined it because the account holder was underage.

Verify phone and email with a code. Provide home address and SSN. I felt that giving my SSN was just one step too far. But you have to do the same to open any fiat brokerage account. Verify debit card with a code in the transaction description of a small transaction on your debit card. That part is fine. Didn't have to scan ID or upload a selfie like most centralized crypto exchanges have started requiring. I appreciate not having to do that.


The very reason why I follow you! Nostr needs more diverse content, so you just do you dear! 💜

For years now I've been trying to consume no sugar, but I can't drink any kind of tea without honey in it.

Been drinking a lot of tea in the evenings lately and I'm going through a pound of raw honey per week. It's a little spendy.

The other time I break my no sugar rule is in the spring when my daughter is selling girl scout cookies and I feel obligated to buy over a hundred dollars worth of them. Then I start having cookies and milk after dinner every night for a couple months.


There is no good BBQ in the inland NW. There used to be a little BBQ place in Moscow that was passable, but it's gone. The rest of the ones that I've tried because people recommended them (mostly in Spokane and CDA) were all garbage. These people have no idea what good BBQ is. One of my long term financial goals is to open a BBQ restaurant in the LC valley. Mostly Texas style but the pulled pork will be Memphis style.

Ok just bought $5 worth of Bitcoin. Here's my first impression...

Things I like:
Very fast
Low minimum
Didn't have to scan my ID or provide a selfie

Things I don't like:
It still asked for more info than I wanted to give to set it up
Don't like having to deposit USD before buying. I'd rather just have it charge my debit card when I buy.

As far as I recall, Moonpay has only ever asked to verify my email and phone number. Don't think I ever had to provide my SSN. Unless I just don't remember doing that. Been buying through them for the last few years even though you pay a premium because it charges my debit card when I purchase and sends the sats directly to whatever wallet address I provide. Higher minimum purchase amount though and also high premium as I mentioned already.

So a few tradeoffs IMO, but I'll give strike high marks for ease of use. It barely took me a minute or two to set it up.

I only own one coat. I usually wear the same pair of jeans for a week unless I spill food on them or something like that. Same with hoodies. Have a bunch of hoodies but I'll wear the same one all week unless a big temperature change that makes me want a heavier or lighter weight one. Socks underwear and T-shirts are the only things that I change daily or twice a day. There's a chair in my bedroom that holds all the articles of clothing that I'll wear several times before washing. Washing your clothes to frequently just wears them out and fades them faster. Think, every time you clean out the lint trap in your dryer, you're throwing away little bits of your clothes.

That node that you're running just follows the longest chain that's obeying the consensus rules. It doesn't matter how many transactions have been excluded from the block as long as all the transactions in the block are valid transactions. So yes you would have to fork away and follow that shorter chain that's not censoring transactions if that mattered to you.


Hooooly fugg OMG LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The irony of this hypocrisy is 😙👌

The woke cult has spent the last decade boycotting and cancelling anyone who angers them. They've destroyed so many careers and livelihoods. And now that it's been turned on them it's suddenly "economic terrorism". Ok. Cry harder. GFY.

I think most of the hash rate really doesn't care as long as they're getting paid. And nodes follow the longest chain as the valid chain. Which should be the chain that's getting the most hash rate committed to it. I suppose in the end it would cause a fork of some kind and there would be regulatory Bitcoin and rebellion rebellion Bitcoin. Guess which one is going to be worth more? I care about the one that works as intended. But all of the Fiat gain obsessed number go up people would call that one a shit coin of course 🤣 and from a value perspective they wouldn't be wrong. All the big money is going to stay in regulatory bitcoin. And that would probably be the one that ends up underpinning all global trade and national currencies. The cypher punks can continue trading rebellion bitcoin with one another on the internet, but it wouldn't have much value and wouldn't be spendable anywhere else. If anything, it might be something you would want to be careful not to get caught using by your government, which is a problem since it's never bothered to adopt any privacy technology. In which case you might as well be using Monero instead. It would be better if Bitcoin as it is now stays decentralized enough that it can't be controlled. So let's stop cheering for centralization and try to promote more decentralization because that's what the whole point was.


Double spend attacks and that are not my concern. The government being able to regulatory capture only a couple of nodes and start censoring transactions on the network is my concern. Decentralization is what makes Bitcoin strong and censorship resistant. If it becomes too centralized it will be captured.


It's already being attacked and everyone is either okay with it or just has their head in the sand. I'm not talking about nodes doing something like a 51% attack against the network. I'm talking about KYC and censoring non-compliant transactions. We're probably going to see more of this in the future.


Decentralization is what makes Bitcoin censorship resistant. If transactions are being confirmed by only a couple of nodes on the network than the government only has to capture a couple nodes in its regulatory net to force censorship. That's why no other attempts at digital cash ever worked because they were centralized and could be shut down or controlled.


That's the problem, is that the incentives lead to centralization, but I don't see a way to fix it.


Not having mining pools doesn't fix anything. It would actually completely break the incentive to mine because you could literally mine forever and never produce a block.
nostr:nevent1qqs8jwye7atn2asv9t7tdf47kfkg0wnd6j3xzwnsntwdm25eh87tu8spz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfdupzqrgxfq9scm3mu0y6rfja0e4uyzgjyl24hax80m4kqda6wamvxq8vqvzqqqqqqy6se09g


Because they trend towards centralization. Miners mostly choose to mine to the biggest pools because they offer more steady and predictable payouts, which just makes them bigger. There's only about 15 nodes on the entire network that are producing blocks, and over 50% of those blocks are being produced by only two of the biggest pools.


I think mining pools turned out to be a bad idea. Not sure where we should go from here. But the current state of Bitcoin mining is no bueno.


Solo mining. Only get paid if you find a valid block hash. All or nothing. Like playing the lottery every ten minutes 24/7.


Those $5-10 monthly charges all seem like chump change until you add them up.


Yeah I was trying not to waste too much money on this project since it was just supposed to be a lottery miner.


Just cancelled over $60 worth of subscriptions that I wasn't using or wasn't really getting my money's worth out of. Should have done that months ago!


Maybe I'll just plug it in when I leave for the day and unplug it when I get home. 🤣


It was running just fine with the stock fans. I just didn't like that it was as loud as a shop vac. Could hear it out in the stairwell, which means my neighbor can hear it through the wall too.


Lemme put the stock fans back on it and make sure it still works first

Same power cable as before. Ran these fans on it for about ten minutes a while back and it didn't have a fault then. Haven't changed the pool settings and it's connecting ok. Nothing has changed that I know of since last time. Very confused.


It sends a couple shares to the pool and then it stops mining.

Miner status on the dashboard reports about 500Gh/s for less than a minute and then drops to zero.

🤷 none of it ever sways me to buy more shit anyway


The number of push notifications that I'm receiving from the Amazon shopping app this year trying to get me to buy more shit is about 3x what it was around this time last year.

This is very telling. Headline consumer spending numbers have been way up this year, but that's largely because the cost of consumer staples is way up. Discretionary spending is clearly way down if Amazon needs to send 6-8 push notifications a day trying to get my to buy more Christmas gifts.

People aren't spending on this stuff as much this year because they can't afford it. Rent, groceries, gas are all eating into their budget.

I spent less on my kids this year and only got them things that they need like clothes. I normally buy stuff for myself during Black Friday sales as well and I did none of that this year.

What about you?

Are you spending less on gifts this year? Same as last year? Or more then last year?

The path to the kingdom of heaven is very narrow, and it's so easy to stray.

But it's incredible to me that no matter how many times you fall off the path, and no matter how far you stray, you can always return at any time, and all it takes is a prayer.

The salvation through Jesus Christ is always available to all sinners. He is always waiting for you to reach out to the Father and humbly ask for the holy Spirit to come into you.

You may not be ready yet, and that's ok also. When you decide that you're ready, God is listening, always.


I too battle every day with my hatred for what is un-just. (Amos 5:15) It is hard to put away judgement and learn love and grace (unmerited favor) 2 tim 1:9,

I thank the true God every day for preserving for us his word, carefully concealed in Christ (colossians 2:3) and written down for us in the bible.  Man is far from perfection at this time, and our test is if we will seek righteousness even if there is error all around us (psalm 31:10).  Following closely in the teaching of Christ is the only way to learn what good really is.

Unfortunately we are living in a period of darkness. There is nobody doing good, not even one. (psalm 14:3)  But the light has come into the world and it is our healing to draw close to that light.(Isaiah 9:2)  The law of moses was a tutor leading to Christ, I am thankful that the creator provides a path for us to find it.

I'm actually a bit surprised that it this point we're not already seeing commercials for hormone therapy drugs on TV.

"Aldactone makes me the woman that I always knew I was inside! Aldactone makes me myself!" 🤡


Never looked at it. Never cared to. 🤷


GM!


I'm trying for the first time in my adult life to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, but being a good person in general doesn't come easy to me.

It's a constant battle to put aside my hatred and anger and sometimes I lose that battle.

The important thing is to keep trying, keep studying the gospel of Jesus, and keep praying for the presence of the holy Spirit to bring peace and guidance.

Drinking tea with chamomile and valerian root in it right now.


It's past my bedtime here. Shouldn't have drank that coffee at work tonight. 🤣


At a certain point, you don't need more money, you need purpose.

I listened to an interview about it on the Adam vs the man podcast in late 2012. Don't remember who was being interviewed, but I was convinced enough on the freedom money angle to buy some when it was $17. But I left active duty military service and moved to Idaho to go to school. Money was really tight and I ended up selling it all at $242 (I'll never forget that price) to pay bills. Then it hit $1k and I was pissed. Didn't buy any more for a couple years, mainly because I never had any extra money to spend. Started buying again, but just small amounts. I've had to sell a few times just to survive. Mined a bunch of Monero in 2016 but I was swapping it for Bitcoin and spending the Bitcoin with my shift debit card because I was unemployed then too. Monero was trading around $4-6 back then. Should have kept at least 10% but I didn't. It's been a journey the past ten years. Now I have a decent passive income thanks to my VA disability so that protects me. Most of what I buy nowadays goes to my kids' wallets. They're not allowed to do anything with it until they're adults.


Somebody I was working with in the army told me about it in 2011 because it was mentioned on survivalblog but we both decided that it sounded stupid 🤷

Never fails


You never really own a cat. You just share your home with them.


Might be also. IDK. Got rid of Netflix a long time ago.


Not anymore. Well I have like $50 worth of stonks left in my IRA account. Emptied my kids college accounts and plowed it all into Bitcoin for them a while back. All on a HWW in their mom's safe now, in case something happens to me. Been adding to those addresses bit by bit. My kids actually hold a LOT more than I do now. I want them to have opportunities as young adults that I never had.

You're forgetting about the burn rate. I singlehandedly take hundreds of tacos out of circulation every year. 😋


Tacos to the moooooon! 🚀


I thought we already did

Let me know about the next one!


The plot thickens!


But they are edible. Try eating a Bitcoin. Proof of Taco ftw!


Serious taco inflation in the state of Washington. Unintended consequence of $16 minimum wage. One little crisp meat burrito at taco time is about $6.

It's outrageous but it's starting to correct in some areas. Around here I'm starting to see a lot of 10% price drops on both residential and commercial real estate. Give it time.


Everyone knows BSV is the real bitcoin! 🤣


Sounds like a bad deal


New Nostr user. You know what to do...

Fucking A! And it needs to integrate with square so it updates our inventory when we sell shit for Bitcoin.


Hell yes. One of my all time favorites. I've probably watched it at least 40-50 times.

Everything is a copy of a copy of a copy...


Yeah those have been on for about a week. I never knew about the Clarkston parade before. Just happened to be working over here today and went outside to take pictures.


Ckpool has been around forever and still finds a block a couple times a year or so


You are not your fucking khakis


Meeeeee!

I just know my little USB miners are going to find a block on ckpool any day now 🤣


Small town vibes

Clarkston, Washington Christmas parade

Yeah lol that's the argument that I hate the most. How patronizing and condescending is it to claim that any particular ethnic group is somehow less capable of acquiring a photo ID?


You get your state issued ID from the same place you get a driver's license. Everyone knows this. It's a very small burden. It's not unreasonable to require people to prove in this very easy way that they actually live in the district that they're trying to vote in. I'm my state, you show ID, and if the address on your ID is an old address then you are required to provide a lease, utility bill or phone bill that shows your address. The only people that might have trouble with this are the homeless. I think the benefit of this policy in preventing voter fraud far outweighs any harm that it could potentially cause.


How is it a barrier though? That's what those in opposition to it can never seem to articulate.


I just got signed up to be a community notes contributor on X 😉
