Can I monetize real life? People seem to laugh when I say things. Granted, they’re also pointing at me while they’re laughing and elbowing their buddy, so certainly an opportunity.

Thank you, #[7]! Really appreciate it! I gave you a follow as well!

That’s right, I made a meme about this a while back before #Nostrica. I can’t find the note ID on my profile, but here’s the meme.

This was the kind of shit I was talking about when Ordinals/Inscriptions started getting hyped by the shitcoiners moving to Bitcoin. 97sats/vB seems minimal to what will be coming. I can pay that, but what about third-world country citizens? Many don’t have the LN set up in their country. For example, Nigeria just got a LN node installed right around the time of this trend.

Now that I’ve commented, I’m in for the ride too 😂

Redoubt States? This is a new term to me. From looking at the definition, are you referring to states like Wyoming, Florida, or Texas?

Yeah, but the cartels there worry me 😅

Yes, and with how quickly things can change in an instant, I feel like diversifying your living/work arrangements may be best.

Calling all Bitcoiners and Nostriches. I would like the advice of the community for how to approach a Bitcoin mining opportunity. Please repost / boost for more exposure because there is no algorithm to help with attention.

I have a site 2.5 hours south of St. Louis, Missouri. There are machines running now and I control the site. The energy is $0.06 per kWh and I have struggled to raise capital because this has passed the acceptable risk threshold for many institutional type investors.

I could run it as a hosting site and markup the energy price or I could raise smaller amounts of money and run my own ASICS. I have 12 spots left that can accommodate S19 series ASICS and any additional spots will require electrical work.

The site is capable of 5MW now and an additional expansion opportunity to 14MW at no cost if I fill the 5MW. The rural utility also has underutilized substation locations where $0.035 per kWh is possible if we “prove” there is demand.

My dream would be a true “pleb mine” or open source type of approach where everything is owned by the miners and there is not a true corporate structure or perhaps similar to the not for profit model that rural coops themselves operate under?. Or like a Bitcoin space with an educational component, workshops, meet ups, etc. I have also had discussions on Nostr with developers that have expressed interest in hosting space for projects not in Amazon’s cloud.

I am open to suggestions, partners, collaboration, investment, donations, etc. to monetize and build the site and above all want this to be a Bitcoin / Nostr only endeavor in the spirit of freedom and open source. My DM’s are open and I welcome public discussion.

Interested.

No clue, but my intuition is saying a country in Africa or Latin/South America. #[3]​ was actually just talking about this on today’s (4/4/2023) podcast of “Bitcoin And…” episode 697.

With the potential growth their economy and network adoption of Bitcoin, seems like one country (or multiple) could be a safe haven. In my head, which country is balanced between influence from the West and from BRICS?

Conflicted about staying in America to fight for freedoms with Bitcoiners or to cut ties to live abroad.

Be on the grounds of the home front or try to salvage by rebuilding with other Bitcoiners elsewhere.

The ramifications feel dire, especially these last few weeks.

Hey #[2]​, I listened to your podcast that you published recently 3 weeks ago (per my note #[7], but you weren’t here at the time). Can you elaborate and show any papers, articles, data on this topic? I really want to understand how solely eating a carnivorous diet is possible. Do you believe there is any place in a diet to eat some vegetables/fruits at all? For example, spinach or bananas?
