Tech, Africa, Bitcoin mining at Gridless. Kenya Relay: wss://nostr-1.nbo.angani.co

Weird. I’m getting zaps from some people. Maybe there’s a setting I missed?

Had a good day checking out some geothermal in Kenya. A lot of

opportunities in that space for mining.

Disappointed with the lack of technical honesty and lack of objectivity in MIT Tech Review piece on Bitcoin mining.

“As long as bitcoin miners can profit from proof of work, Weaver says, they will choose proof of work: “The only way to reduce Bitcoin’s criminal energy consumption is for the value itself to be destroyed. If Bitcoin becomes worthless, then bitcoin mining stops.”

Yes, incentives work. That’s why it was built this way.

“Criminal”? Hyperbole is apparently good, solid media.

So strange to hear someone talking positively about CBDC’s in Africa. Ridiculous.

Apparently Vitalik will be in Nairobi this week. Web3 people are very excited about it.
