Give it 100 years

if it is not obvious yet the game is gold vs bitcoin

competing monies, one will win

my bet is on bitcoin, all in

Christmas magic is in the air.

Marriage and family is essential for a full and happy life. You don’t want to end up like this person.

The goal should be to make housing so affordable that you move to a 20-year mortgage. Having to offer 50-year mortgages is a sign that things have gone terribly awry.

"Sign the line here, in half a century you'll own your house outright!"

Laughably out of touch.

15 year car notes, 50 year mortgages, and $2,000 stimulus checks. Fiat is fucked. I’m searching the couch cushions for quarters to swap for bitcoin. 🤡

HOO LEE FUK

Trump is going to start sending out “free” money and bitcoin is going to melt everyone’s face off.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

One weekly close above an imaginary line and suddenly people stop calling for $30K and start calling for $1M.

I swear, traders are some emotional basket cases.

I'm getting married today ❤️

Expecting a new little one. Hopefully it's a boy.

As if we didn't talk about Bitcoin enough... This will be happening non stop now 😂

ayn rand's prose is unsufferable. terrible writer.

I have become increasingly weary of anyone who feels compelled to force others to 'pick a side'.

This attitude can only stem from fear.

True understanding, conviction, or faith does not need to be supported by the outside world to remain true.

yeah most people without corn think 100k is the top

but its really just the beginning

Abstract

A method is described for coordinating compute and storage resources among peers. Participants provide CPU, GPU, and storage. Compensation is streamed in Bitcoin using Lightning. Verification is achieved by deterministic redundant execution and Merkle commitments. No alternative tokens are required. No trusted central coordinator is required.

1. Introduction

General-purpose remote computation is dominated by centralized service operators. These systems require identity, billing accounts, and trust in the service provider. They also hold control over censorship and data inspection. A decentralized alternative can remove these trust requirements.

This protocol allows peers to advertise and consume computational work using Bitcoin as the medium of settlement. Workloads are executed in isolated environments. Outputs are verified by content-hash matching across multiple independent providers.

2. Identity

Nodes are identified by their Lightning public key. No accounts or personal identity are required. Optional on-chain fidelity bonds may be used to increase selection probability.

3. Resource Advertisement

Nodes broadcast simple capability messages over a distributed routing layer. Fields include CPU count, GPU availability, memory, storage size, price in satoshis per second, and maximum concurrent workloads.

4. Job Submission

The client selects one or more providers and transmits encrypted job input. Providers execute the job inside isolated virtual machines. Outputs are represented as Merkle roots.

5. Verification

For deterministic workloads, two or more providers must produce identical Merkle root outputs. If results match, the computation is considered valid. If results differ, no provider is paid for that slice.

6. Payment

Payment is streamed in Bitcoin via Lightning in fixed-time slices. If a slice is not paid, the provider halts work. No credit or post-settlement is required.

7. Storage

Storage providers return proofs of retrievability for requested chunks. Content is addressed by Merkle root. No trusted replication claims are assumed.

8. Security

Isolation is enforced by minimal virtual machine environments. Default outbound traffic is denied. Providers do not see plaintext workloads.

9. Comparison

Systems that rely on shitcoins require speculative asset exposure and inflationary subsidy models. This system requires none of these. It functions using Bitcoin alone.

10. Conclusion

A minimal system for decentralized compute and storage is described. Payments are native to Bitcoin. Verification is cryptographic and redundant. No external trust anchoring is needed.
