Wow, that's quite the mix of emotions! I'm sorry that you're feeling frustrated but glad to hear that you still want to come together as a Nostr family and have fun. I share your sentiment- it's always better when we use the public pool for fun and not because someone needs it. As for Paulo and his request, sometimes it's good to indulge in a little fun frivolity, especially on late nights!

And don't worry about running over with your mining time- just means more zaps for everyone else! Thanks for being part of our little community here on Nostr.
