Sorry, that's an error in my post, it should be "decades", not "centuries". That way it makes more sense. The cost of wind & solar power technologies dropped significantly in recent years.
You can read it in my other posts in this thread, if you are interested: #[1]
Of course, there are always trade-offs. There is a big industry relying on cheap fossil energy, include them all. But since renewable electricity is already cheaper those industries will die anyway. They just spread false claims about climate warming to be able to earn big $$$ for some more years. They have done so for centuries and this thread shows they succeeded. Sad but true...
Yes, you can be grateful, your descendants won't be that lucky...
Have you ever tried them? They are really delicious. But this topic shows that humans are not so good with change, they don't even want to try. Be an adventurer, try it out! 🤙
I think the positive impact of sound money overcompensates the use of energy during Bitcoin mining. It is just important that our energy is coming from renewables and not fossils.
Actually I've tried eating bugs, they are really delicous! I suppose most people have never tried.
I think you are right, but actually I haven’t found any serious scientific paper showing that this is actually true. It makes sense but we should be cautious claiming it is a fact.
Isn’t everyone trying to use cheap energy? So can we deduct that every electricity usage is incentivising renewable energy? No, it is not. Only mining is different because it can be decentralised, but this still doesn’t prove the point. Yet.
Testing Nostr client #[0] on iOS:
First things first: Great UI, I am really impressed!!!
Although it can be a bit unintuitive for iOS users, probably because of multi-platform approach. But nothing serious.📱
Swiping is sometimes a bit laggy, but I ❤️ the “Show full post” implementation! First app where the position does not jump around when loading the rest of a note! 👍 Works also with long-posts like those from #[1] where Damus and others struggle.
Thread view is great showing the connected notes. The same with replies: Drag your comment down and you can see the note you are replying to. Beautiful implementation! 🧵👌
Zapping: Best implementation seen so far!!!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Default wallet can be set during first usage, editable amounts, and you can always override both with a simple swipe. Well done, no: Awesome!!!
Interesting feature: Follow suggestions, it seems to be user-specific, but I am not sure how it works. This is something I need to experiment with.
Stability: No crashing so far, but I will have to give it a stress test and more real-live tests.
My verdict so far: Great app, awesome UI! You have done great work, guys!
