proof of work is not useful for anything except bitcoin

anyone wanna give me a counterargument?

Have you seen nostr.cooking?

I committed myself to see if V4V is a valid monetization for being a creator.

If it doesn’t work this year - V4V will be dead for me and only remain a fun gimmick.

NGL being a V4V creator is the hardest mode of being a creator.

If a pleb only values my content for 2sats it’s ultimately on me to make better content so next time he’ll zap 20.000 sats.

I believe by going the hardest way this will ultimately yield in the best result. I don’t know yet what these results will be but I am here for the journey and the revolution.

Now it’s up to me - let’s make V4V fucking work 🫡 🤝 nostr:note1m7zhcqyq75qv5z5v4juw683fpc9hyl7nsvf9antsz5gdac0cl24qcfjhdu

There is no amount of changes that bitcoin can do that will make Lightning scale to visa level payments.

Lightning is cool, kinda works now, I use it all the time. But doesn't scale. Maybe it's how we clear ecash.

We need something else.

Eye on the prize.

How would you run a node if you were always mobile? I.e. no home internet, living in a vehicle, and moving between rural, remote locations. Starlink?

What should a recipe app of the future look like?

Personally I hate all the SEO garbage people use as filler in recipes. I go straight to ingredients list.

My wife doesn’t even bother with traditional recipe format, she just watches those fast paced video recipes with captions for instructions.

Why the fuck wouldn't Donald Trump win every conservative poll ever, now and into the future? The dude delivered Roe v Wade's head on a plate to conservatives, something the Republicans have been dicking them around on for half a fucking century.

Run a node. Bitcoin doesn’t survive if you don’t contribute.

We need way more node runners.

These numbers are shameful and this is what losing feels like.

Quit worrying about the price and help somehow.

The wall is to lock you in. They want your consensus to print a ton of money to build your own prison. They could police the border appropriately. They actively choose not to.

No mmo has ever created a successful ingame economy because the game prints money when you kill monsters and it eventually undergoes hyperinflation. They end up resorting to huge gold/item sinks and price controls to try to fix it.

Sounds familiar … 🤔

maybe design “gold” systems with scarcity in mind. I haven’t found a game that does this right.

Do we know if Bill Maher is a bitcoiner?
