#monero is a shitcoin

#gm and #pv ☕🌞

ParmanodL is out.

Easy AF #Bitcoin node for Pi4.

It's software that creates a Pi4 image using a desktop computer, and flashes it all in one go. Runs on Mac or Linux.

Copy/Paste SINGLE command

Insert microSD into your Mac/Linux when prompted

Put the microSD into a PI and turn it on.

Double click icon to run (no finding IP addresses or typing SSH required).

Once accessing the Pi, type 'menu'.

I've been feverishly coding, debugging, testing, and drinking max coffee for days, and it's finally ready.

The code is easy to read, so please do.

Some advantages...

You only type 1 command to install.

No Balena etcher or other flashing software required

No pgp verification is required (it's all from written text)

There is one download (official Raspberry Pi OS) which is hashed for the user.

No SSH commands are required - use the icon made on the desktop. Double-click to access the ParmanodL terminal.

Easy starting Parmanode - type "menu"

"Parmanode" is pre-installed on the ParmanodL and the internal drive configuration is done.

Next update, going to make the installation apps with parmanode run automatically on the background. Ie non interactive. Given that it's for a Pi, much less unknowns exist, so I'll go ahead and make all the necessarily choices and have everything installed.

Systemd to run selected parmanode scripts I think will be the cleanest way.

Very cool!

Just an ideaz, but would be pretty neat if the IBD could optionally happen on your desktop to take advantage of the increased CPU horsepower

Very cool 👍

Would be pretty neat if a relay could leverage something like s3 and s3-ia to move things to cheaper and cheaper storage the older or less frequently they are accessed

For future reference, would be better off using a RNG rather that GPT. Could pretty easily tell GPT to answer a certain way and just not show us that part of the convo. To be clear, I don't think you did this at all, but could cause drama if someone wanted to be a stickler 🤷

Both FOSS.

Both same ballpark of nodes.

Only one of these has decentralized mining that isn't concentrated on large law-abiding corporate mining farms though.

FOSS alone doesn't make it hard money. Most shitcoins are FOSS.

How much of your ASIC resistant mining happens on a CSP?

Have you heard of stratum V2?

"Too big to fail" is a fallacy regardless of the thing. Usually just means artificial life support and a bigger eventual failure.

Very aware of lightnings current limitations. I never said "Lightning", I said L2 (should have said L2+).

Monero made conscious decisions to favor privacy over decentralization. I think making those tradeoffs on L1 is foolish. Therefore, it's a shitcoin.

No compromise decentralization is the only way to build a viable L1.

Just realizing this #amethyst feature. Allows you to select your relays per post. Pretty neat
