Really great work on Gossip so far, @nostr:npub1acg6thl5psv62405rljzkj8spesceyfz2c32udakc2ak0dmvfeyse9p35c. I just synced my fork of the Gossip client and installed the latest on master locally. Works fantastic! Great work, Mike, seriously.
Also, to address the concern of my having too many relays might be a DDoS of the network, at the slightest hint that I can't connect to a relay, I make sure to remove it. Culling dead relays dramatically improves client performance, I've found.

I've tried to explain this before, but it's hard to explain. This theory I call, the Three Eras of Bitcoin Mining.
Bitcoin mining goes wherever energy is cheapest. First they gathered in China, then later in Texas and North America. Terrestrial Mining was the First Era of Bitcoin Mining.
It will make sense to offworld all heavy industry; anything made of aluminum or silicon can be made in situ on the moon. Elements less chemically abundant within Lunar regolith will be provided to the moon via asteroid mining. And commodities trade and finished goods will likely be transported via electrically powered, equatorial mass driver, and either aerobraking or elevators of some kind for downmass. For Bitcoin miners, heat rejection deep into the Lunar core will act as a fantastic heat sink for a very long time. Lunar Mining will be the Second Era of Bitcoin Mining.
The end state of Proof of Work is a Dyson sphere around Sol. It's undeniable that it is more efficient to drink from the source, so the hash gotten from our sun will undoubtedly outstrip that which can be done on the moon. Our sun is inconceivably huge. This might be a controversial statement due to the limits of relativity... But either the No Communication Theorem winds up just being a quantum protocol engineering problem, or the residents of the Solar system all just send their big transactions towards their sun, relying first and foremost on a multilayered monetary system, and only for those that are truly scarce, which will be a simple way to resolve property ownership disputes, all other things being found in abundance in a Kardashev Type I post-scarcity society. Solar Mining will be the Third and Final Era of Bitcoin Mining.
Bitcoin mining helps to assist in financing all of these megaprojects by aligning energy with money: 1) abundant, clean energy on Earth, 2) post scarcity economies in orbit, and 3) colonization of the Solar system.
Once contact with the aliens who realized Humans were ready for their gift, the nudge, the Big Cosmic Hint At How To Do Things, we can join the civilized galactic civilization with the pride of having done the Great Work of becoming an Type I Civilization, thank them, and then figure out how StellEx works (Stellar Exchange markets) between our economies. It's fun to imagine what might be traded and how trade might occur between stars. But that's about as far as I care to speculate for now, at least, before I've published one of the books I'm working on, The Exophiles.

Congrats, #[2], I've been watching you put in a ton of work on Gossip. Another win for Rust!
Realized my living room was oddly quiet again... But this time I was prepared. Apologies in advance for those affected by the outage... 
So, over the past several weeks I noticed several of the relays I'd been using dropping off, becoming inconsistently reachable. I eventually went from having over 80 relays configured to under 50. At this point, relays are a dime a dozen, so as soon as I see it's unreachable, it gets culled.
I'd added a few paid relays in the past, maybe a dozen, but I decided to seek out more now. It took me about an hour and about $50 in sats to add all the paid relays I could find, but now I can safely say, I have more paid relays than unpaid.
It makes me feel good to support those who become relay operators. Your efforts are not necessary, but they are appreciated.
I used this site to find paid relays, for those curious: https://relay.exchange/ 
About a week ago my husband tried plugging in an electric heater we keep in the closet-- he has no meat on his bones, unlike me-- and it made this horrible screeching sound and started making smoke. And I ran in and was like, "Honey, I got this", like a man who had harnessed infinite fire, and I trucked my little S9 modded with Noctuas on a small office chair out of my office and into his studio. So, today I go in to chat, and it's like a sauna in there, he's been keeping the door mostly closed to trap the heat inside, I think he's enjoying it, as much as he doesn't want to admit it 😹
No kidding, you have no idea how badly I want to shake claws with Satoshi's kind

NASA will be launching a mission to the metallic asteroid, 16 Psyche, later this year.
SpaceX is building a rocket that will bring the cost of putting a kilo into orbit down to $10.
A kilo of gold is presently worth $60,000.
I've never been more bearish on precious metals.

When I got married and bought a home together, we came with two adult cats between the two of us, and later we've raised two kittens.
