It's always a nice added bonus when you're doing research and writing scripts to pull data from your node and you end up finding a bug in Bitcoin Core you can fix.

I have been head down lately on day job work, but this #bitaxe ultra has been hashing away, cool and quiet amongst this snow drift of boards on the back corner of my desk.

Right around 500 billion hashes a second, every second of every day.

Oh I’ve been demonetised 😱

Well I’ve remonetised myself and cut out the middleman, next problem?

Of course that’s what Russell ought do but everyone’s busy having a sook and distracted instead of getting out from under the megacorps thumbs. #Bitcoin is there and waiting

lol

Y'all got $3,000,000 for a 3 bedroom house?

This is my life right now trying to buy a home

During a US Government shutdown:

1. 1.3 million active duty members work without pay

2. "Non-essential" government workers put on unpaid leave

3. Much of infrastructure construction is put on hold

4. Shutdown would cost the economy $1 billion per day

5. Flight delays increase due to TSA worker shortages

6. Many national parks close across the US

But CONGRESS & Ukraine Still get paid

🤦‍♂️

Went to go check on my BSV brainlets.

Apparently, they've come to celebrate "proof of court order" 🤣🤦

LoL. We could probably crowdfund the attack with special edition zapathon.

Most times I've checked, the fees/rewards of honest mining don't cover the hashrate cost.

What a shitcoin.

🤣💯

Not yet, but it's trending that way.

Yeah, very good time to do so. I don’t have any remaining sats to open channels, but if you would like to open one with me you are more than welcome to. 🤗

LOL

Mempool is kinda empty. Early this week when this happened, the price shot up.

Hi

Im learning some pretty crazy things about Canada that i never knew.

At the end of WW2 there was something called the Rat Line.

This was an escape route from Europe at the end of WW2. Thousands of SS veterans and Nazi collaborators from Baltic States and the Ukraine were given quick entry to Canada, in a time when many Jews were imprisoned in 8 internment camps across Canada.

The Jews were held for “suspicion of being Communists”.

The Canadian historian Irving Abella wrote extensively on the topic.

Ever get the feeling actual history is not what you’ve been told?

I got the shirt! Purchased seamlessly via the LN🫡

For some completely stupid reason, he lost his entire livelihood in seconds. Very scary when you think about it.

Nostr fixes this!

Honestly, I’m just so grateful for all of this.

I’m a pretty morose guy, so the fact that there is this community of people building the tools of the future in order to ensure that posterity will have a shot at being free means so much to me. I don’t think I could have escaped the darkness that had entrapped before finding bitcoin; and it’s not about the money, but about the ability to simply own something in a world that wants you to own nothing, and be happy about it.

“Miners” was clever branding, but imo, was the wrong name for the role.

What’s your favorite client and what’s the most annoying thing about it?

Just looking to poke around for things that might be fixable.
