GM my sovereign comrades. I entered this space not knowing anyone and surrounded by those who welcome complacency, an allowing others to decide for them. As much as humans are individuals, we thrive in herds. Due to our sophisticated abilities in communication and manipulation, not all herds are the same. There may come a point when one must engage their ability to individualize himself and search for a more suitable herd. That journey could be long, hard, and unknown. Its feels good to have reached a frequency level that vibrates with 100 others, in the space of freedom of choice and a desire to live in an egalitarian world.
I know this may not be anything worth discussing for many, but it is an accomplishment that I’m zapped about!

One of these cute solo miners won a block today: 3.19 #BTC 🎰 reward 
Mining isn't just a question of hash power, there's also a factor of luck.
Of course, the more power you have, the greater your chances of mining a block, but luck sometimes goes to small miners.

And if enough luck goes around these large mining operations will fail to sustain themselves. Peer to Peer, the way Satoshi intended.
Something is going on with my #nostr #npub. All those who I follow were deleted from my account on primal. I checked using other relays and the same. Accounts not synced. Anybody else have this problem?

nostr:note1p4eewkhelyem8527fs0wuatqfz0pya6hf7mvpnyyy6nmrwj0tr2s98q7lnDaniel I’m starting to realize most people in #bitcoin still don’t quite understand bitcoin but that’s ok because bitcoin is an amazing teacher. Her lessons come at a price, an exposes ill will. Bitcoin is not interested in human persuasion, just human preservation.
Bitcoin hash rate and block confirmation rate are simply mechanisms to keep #bitcoin on schedule. Satoshi knew that humans would do what they do best, try to manipulate to dominate each other. Bitcoin is cultivating an honest world.
Great read. You really have a gift for putting things into a practical perspective.

What if Satoshi also designed bitcoin to correct human behavior.
What if #satoshi did not intend for #bitcoin #mining to be a source of income. The entire foundation of Bitcoin is built on decentralization and preserving the value of human time and work aka energy spent. What if the best way to secure the network is by every individual who owns bitcoin is also responsible for mining bitcoin. What if the goal is to not only hold your own keys but to also engage with and support the network. What if HODLing is not enough but active engagement by all or majority of plebs Individually is the best option for maintaining the network. The idea of miners joining together to create mining pools, invoking natural human behavior to work together and centralize, may not have been what Satoshi intended. What if Satoshi designed the hash rate to not only keep miners profitable but to keep miners from centralizing or monopolizing the network. After all it is a peer to peer network and not a peer to pool network. Maybe Vitalik understood this best. What if bitcoin is not about price or adoption, but simply time and energy spent. Time to evaluate and calculate human behavior aka QES - Quality of Energy Spent. As more humans learn to live an honest life, the price of bitcoin shall reflect as such. What if Satoshi designed bitcoin for active participation. This is not just a membership you sign up for and come and go as you please. In order to successfully use and fully benefit from bitcoin, one must take the time to understand and appreciate bitcoin. And most importantly, one must learn to value a low time preference because a low time preference allows for better quality of time spent. Something that cannot be achieved through centralization of individual contributions, but by verification of individual contributions. This is why everyone will get bitcoin at the price they deserve. Those who found bitcoin early are those who may not have fully understood but believed that there could possibly be a better, more honest way to live life. Those who are just beginning to live an honest life, will begin to preserve their true worth. If time is the most valuable asset maybe bitcoin is the value of time and depending on how you’ve spent time will determine your individual quality of preservation.
