Storj was trying to do this, but they chose to create their own “governance token”. Which they then tried to portend as a proxy for ownership of the company…. And I think that was the downfall. Lightning #BTC is more respected, liquid and honest. Separate the VC from the money.
So like storj, get “distributed nodes” to compete for a share of the lightning/on chain receipts.
So the more popular a service is, the more receipts it gets and the more the hardware/network gets paid out. So nodes will gravitate towards a need. Very free market…
“If, instead, a content distribution network were built with bitcoin (lightning) as its native payment architecture, the globally distributed network of media servers powering the backend of this Pirate Bay would have the same economic appeal as bitcoin mining: keep this server up and running, and you receive an average of X btc per hour.”
That definitely gives some food for thought.
I also like the idea around the AI arms race.
Each time I think about an open source project I realize a couple of things:
1. How can this source code ever turn into a revenue generating effort?
2. How can I stay motivated to work past 6 month of effort.
Both those thoughts always make me pause and really not progress.
As an example. I look at #nostr clients as an example and suspect no one would pay so embedded ads are the only possible stream of revenue.
I have looked at trading bots, but again don’t see a market that would sustain a revenue stream.
So I’ve looked at projects like coin market cap and coin gecko and while both have paid subscriptions I suspect adcents is all that drives revenue.
I am adamantly opposed to generating revenue off ads but see no other model
Without a revenue stream how to stay motivated.
Thoughts?

Napoleon led France at that time. Just saying…
Not Macron
GM #dogstr 
I really like the fact that the dog owner is attired in a Kentucky tuxedo with a shearling jacket. I had no idea that was back in fashion.
💯. We must start now!
I wonder how much that would sell for at Christie’s auction house
In 2010, Satoshi Nakamoto discussed the potential threat of quantum computers to Bitcoin's security in a BitcoinTalk forum post. He suggested that if SHA-256 became completely broken, the community could agree on the honest blockchain before the trouble started, lock it in, and continue with a new hash function.
Same thing we are talking about here.
It’s all about consensus
#Bitcoin can also be rolled back. Any block can be agreed to be the last honest block and a group of miners can pick up from there.
Most of my twitter followers were bots.
Not sure about #nostr
Libra & $TRUMP tokens?
Applying for a TLD
Applying for a top-level domain (TLD) involves a significant process and financial commitment. You need to apply to ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) to create and operate a registry business supporting the Internet's domain name system. This process includes demonstrating operational, technical, and financial capability to run a registry and comply with specific requirements.
The application process typically includes several stages, such as the String Similarity Panel, which assesses whether a proposed gTLD string is likely to result in user confusion due to similarity with any reserved name, existing TLD, or any requested IDN ccTLD. The application window for new gTLDs has closed in previous rounds, and the dates for the next round have not yet been set. You can stay informed about the latest program news and future application rounds by visiting the ICANN website.
The evaluation fee for each new gTLD application was $185,000 (USD) in the last round, and additional fees may have been incurred based on the application path taken. If the application is successful, the applicant is required to sign a New gTLD Agreement with ICANN, which includes a fixed fee of $6,250 per calendar quarter and a transaction fee of $0.25 once more than 50,000 domain names are registered in the gTLD.
It's important to note that the process is highly complicated and politicized, involving extensive red tape and rigorous evaluations. Therefore, it is crucial to be well-prepared and informed before initiating the application process.
You could be the one. #yestr
The domain is there for you 
Your helicopter will be the #BTC you buy with it.
