Photo dated “March 26th 2020”Early lockdown, Remember when everyone was stockpiling toilet paper? My wife had apparently been training for that moment her whole life, because we always had pandemic levels of toilet paper in stock. That’s just how my family *rolls*

The thousands of small tiny leaved plants are all Miners Lettuce AKA Claytonia, tastes like lettuce, no bitterness that I have ever discerned, frost tolerant, good source of vitamin C and spreads like a weed. I did not seed it this year, this population is from letting it go to seed for two years of cut and come again. It is surrounding my French Sorrel

But I don’t think many people are actually using Bitcoin itself as a tradable thing everyone is doing dollar conversion in their head and then using BTC as an intermediary. Then getting back out of BTC. In that case the price volatility is a risk. Or they are holding on speculation of future price increases and not using BTC as a medium of exchange. I think once price stabilizes (eventually) then people will have a price expectation and it can function like money pending appropriate tax treatment, Then a network effect will take place directly with the currency.

For BTC I think it’s been speculation about future value combined with its particular utility in being resistant to state censorship in illicit goods/services driving demand for the coins as a payment transaction system and if you want possession of a bitcoin you will either mine it or buy it. ASIC computing / energy costs / difficulty level drive the fundamental cost of what it takes to mine a btc and the market for buying BTC has to follow the mining in cost per BTC or else it drives arbitrage behavior which either drives up Bitcoin mining difficulty or the price until equilibrium is reached.

I will keep your analogy of a battery. For me A criteria of good money is predictable expectations of what I can do with the stored energy in the future. What can I get in exchange a year from now for the energy I have stored.

I guess I should have put #gardening #permies

Maybe it’s an attempt to demonstrate something like the old claim that a thousand chimpanzees given sufficient time will write all the works of Shakespeare due to randomness.

And at the same time, the odds are good for the antelope herd, because the antelope that became lunch was the slowest weakest one. And their genes are now excluded from the gene pool and the cheetah’s hunger was satisfied for another week.

Is there anything like an ideal number of relays?

1)From a performance perspective

2)From a censorship perspective

Should I care if my relay supports which NIPs?

Went to Costco this morning to get my tires changed. This resulted in having to kill an hour. So I walked around a nearby Target and wandered into their electronic section where I stumbled across a demo of the Nintendo switch and I played Kirby for an hour. Like we used to. Not bad.

Yeah no worries most of my time I was trying to add the wallet to Blue with the wallet url. And then I found the scrub extension. I’m just playing around with it. I know it’s in Beta, Nice work.
