Fugahzi, fugayzi, it’s a whazzy, it’s a whoozy, it’s a [whistle], it’s FAIRY DUST! It doesn’t exist. It’s never landed. It’s no matter. It’s not on the elemental chart. It’s not fucking real. Alright?

That ASMap FUD deescalated quickly.

The number of knots nodes i'm connected to has dropped off a cliff. fascinating.

I also ban all aws nodes from my node. surely a coincidence.

Welcome to the coping mechanism of denial.

Added the first NerdQaxe++ Hydro to the mining pit. Almost tripled my output instantly to 8TH/s mining on ocean.xyz

Running my solar powered Bitaxes 3TH/s on Knots with DATUM, will be expanding my mining farm with some NerdQaxe++ (https://www.amazon.com/NerdQaxe-Bitcoins-Consumption-Open-Source-Machine/dp/B0F9434SHF 4.8TH/s each) soon. My node, my rules, financial ledger only.

Yeah Iranian oil is the next hot topic. It’s better not to speak out your intentions and just take what you want.

Yeah… its all easy talk. Imagine your neighbour takes over half your garden, your neighbour from two blocks away tells you to just give it up and also he tells you he will start using your pool. Then some random dude on the internet tells you your gonna die soon anyway, your neighbour is gonna die soon. So give it all up, nothing is gonna happen and at least you will have peace (with a neighbour that has broken 2 treaties in 10 years already). Cool story…

Still surprised why people would recommend cheap Android phones to their family…especially those dealing with BTC. security and privacy thrown out of the window. Well i won’t let them be a stepping stone into my local network, sorry but no wi-fi for them.

Great to see your back! Missed the show a lot! Tried listening to some other podcasts but couldn’t find anything with a similar style. Just listened the 1st show, it was a banger.

I used it, wasn’t that bad… however my coins are flagged as “probably coinjoined” on explorers after doing so. Is there a way to mix them again or differently and get rid of that?

Friend just contacted me. A farmer with a big solar park needs to shut them off at times. In times of low demand the energy company does not want the electricity. He wants to use these timeslots time mine bitcoin. Seems like a good idea. I would like to make a quick calculation. Basically its free energy because it would not be generated at all otherwise. If this could work out it might help a lot of other solar farms over here.

Actually he might even have an easier time making his subsidy goals if he can keep the farm on, the subsidy is based on the amount of hours per year his solar farm is on. I dont want to take that into the calculation at first though.

Does somebody with mining experience have some tips to get me started? What are some things to take into account apart from the obvious ROI of the miners vs the time they will be powered with free (or very cheap) electricity.

Any place to get bulk old(er) miners and check prices?

What is necessary maintenance wise to keep these machines running. Any problems with turning them on and off a lot?

Just be sure to check your ferritine/iron levels. If you have hemochromatosis, like me, combine it with making blood donations every 3 to 6 months and/or iron absorption blocking additions to your meals (green tea extracts, turmeric etc). Iron overload is a slow but steady killer…

Gaming break:

I loved Breath of the Wild, but have to admit that I have no attachment to Tears of the Kingdom whatsoever.

The sequel feels like the same game, with all of the same basic functions and enemies, and the entire “building and connecting things” mechanic is terrible, imo. I have zero desire to use it ever, and they have these stupid piles of stuff to build a cart with all over the place like it’s something useful, but it’s so annoying to build them, and then you can’t steer worth crap and it almost never gets you anywhere far enough to justify trying to put it together. It seems completely useless other than there are little quests or puzzles that purposefully add elements where you need it to complete a task… but even that feels forced and arbitrary.

And the “sky world” element just kinda feels like somebody said “man we should do something different this time… what if we had a bunch of floating islands in the sky!” And then that was it. Theres no reason for it. It doesn’t matter to the story. It doesn’t seem attached to anything of consequence or have even a mystery around it to solve… it just… is.

Also, despite trying to start it back up multiple times in my “spare time” (as if I have any of that), and still in this moment I have no idea what the story is. There’s literally no hook, or engrossing question to answer, so every element just feels like something arbitrary that I’m watching without even knowing why any of it matters.

Just really sad considering BoTW felt like a revival of the Zelda franchise, and I think they spent too much time wondering how they could capitalize on it as quick as possible, rather than thinking about how to make another really engaging story & game for the sequel.

Important caveat: had the game and all the mechanics been the same still, but the story had been super engrossing, none of that other stuff would’ve mattered.

Anyway, that’s my 2 sats on why the new Zelda game hasn’t been able to convince me to charge my Nintendo Switch for like 6 months.

Same, the cartridge is catching dust. I had some fun with it initially but have zero desire to go and finish it. Might also be the age, cannot get myself to game a lot anymore anyway. I get hyped about a new title of a big franchise I used to play in my youth… but usually after a couple of hours I need to drag myself to start and play it again.
