People think LK-99 is going to take a long time for production to scale up. 👎
I do not share these concerns.
Behold a 48ft vacuum furnace available from US supplier. Furnace capabilities include 200,000 lb load capacity, processing temperatures up to 2650°F, and vacuum levels of 10-5 torr. 🤔
There could easily be 100’s of tons of Lk-99 (or equivalent/superior RTSC) sitting around very quickly. 👍 
I think this means miners with no heat *or noise*
I may have a place with essentially free electricity.
Watching these developments with great interest...
...this is produced at high temps? ...not low temps?
Is LK99 still looking promising? Looks pretty contentious.
Yeah I would agree it’s contentious. I think there was a tonne of market speculation in China, so the government there was keen to pour cold water on it quickly, which they have.
I would say it’s very unlikely that LK-99 wins any prizes. I also think the theories put forward by the original authors wont go anywhere, but some of the response papers that churned up a lot of new hypotheses are pretty valuable so there’s actually is a chunk of new stuff to investigate.
Stepping back the timeline suggests something can pop out at any time, which is why it’s worth monitoring the SC space and it might actually be prudent to act like room temp superconductors already exist. I expect to see it in my lifetime.
