I just came accross this service. Posting it here for the #open-source #hardware people.

Bitcoin is the first money ever to seperate state from money by giving the people access to all parts. This is world changing and finally removes the tendency of absolute corruption.

Argentina is going in a better direction then the really corrupt scene it is right now. But ofcourse this needs to be regulated by #Bitcoin plebs. We need to stretch the #Bitcoin hole in Argentina. Wide open it must be.

Overview of Ham Radio Repeaters for Bitcoiners:

Ham radio repeaters are a vital component of a decentralized communications network, mainly because they operate independently of centralized infrastructures like cell networks or the internet. Here's a brief explanation:

1. Independent Operation: Repeaters are local or regional radio relay stations that can function independently. They receive a signal from a ham radio and then retransmit it at a higher power and often from a higher elevation. This process extends the range of communication far beyond what a single ham radio could achieve.

2. Decentralized Network: Each repeater operates independently and is often maintained by local radio clubs or enthusiasts. This decentralized approach means that if one repeater fails or is out of range, others in different locations can still operate, ensuring continued communication.

3. Reliability in Emergencies: In situations where centralized communication networks fail, such as during natural disasters or power outages, ham radio repeaters become crucial. They can continue to operate on backup power sources like batteries or generators, maintaining a communication network when other systems are down.

4. Community-based Management: The network of repeaters is largely managed and operated by the ham radio community. This decentralized management structure contributes to the resilience and adaptability of the network.

5. Global Connectivity: Through linked repeater systems and technologies like Echolink or IRLP, ham radio operators can communicate across vast distances, even globally, without relying on traditional telecommunication infrastructures.

In summary, ham radio repeaters create a robust, flexible, and decentralized communication network, particularly valuable in emergency situations where conventional networks might be compromised.

#Radio overlay decentralized anonymous communication layer... Would love to see that!

#Bitcoin is one of those networks that fits perfectly for #broadcasting. It does not need any localizing identifiers and stuff.

One way:

- #Bitcoin nodes with radio connections

- transmit to other #Bitcoin radio nodes while encrypted

- those other #Bitcoin radio nodes propagate it further

- after 2 hops, maybe via some system or protocol, the message can be decrypted by any node

- the decrypted message gets transmitted further by the rest of the nodes, but noone knows exactly where it came from.

But this does not mean that we can close our eyes. We still have to check them and keep a close eye at all times. Stay awake.

OCEAN #mining pool is good for #Bitcoin in my point of view.

The points I picked up from them are:

- some mempool moderation is needed to protect the chain. But even this can get phased out eventually.

- untransparant mining pools take responsibility for the miner's duties

- mempool is losing effect due to regular "closed doors" incentives.

- most mining pools cannot prove their promises

- miners have to choose in the battle of "centralization+easy money" vs "decentralization+transparancy+robustness"

- miners can be denied in big pools. The OCEAN pool can pull those in.

- theory "ordinals becomes too expensive to sustain" fails in a world without #Bitcoin standard.

My take on #ordinals: they're bad for the #timechain. everyone cares about storage: they could just asswell use it for other things, so why use it for the #timechain? Transactions provide that reason: everyone wants to store it, because it is information that affects their future transactions. #Ordinals and #NFT's do not, their value is subjective.

Also, the more you use #ordinals, the more you hurt the network and thus your own #ordinal.

Plus, ordinals DO NOT EVEN HAVE TO BE expensive at all for real market dynamics: they are created OUTSIDE THE FREE MARKET!!

If governments throw ordinals, they can just arrange cheap deals with big miningpools to sustain it. Only pools that share their block template immeadiatly give miners oppertunity to get out timely.

No limit on bitcoin supply means no limit on the #Bitcoin #timechain storage needed to let the new issued bitcoins exist.

It is fundamental.
