Satoshi Nakamoto Answer:

A million resilient, solar-powered nodes with integrated micro-mining and local circular economies would:

Drastically Increase Network Resilience

Distributed, permissionless power and mobility means nodes can avoid coordinated attacks and geographic risk. More locations, more uptime.

Boost Security—But Mining’s the Key

If these setups mine (not just relay), they contribute hashpower—a vital defense. But: general nodes don’t add security themselves beyond redundancy. “If a greedy attacker is able to assemble more CPU power than all the honest nodes, he can...”(white-paper, §11).

Efficient Collateral Use

Heat reuse and energy stacking lowers real-world mining costs. Self-contained, off-grid mining competitive at low energy prices pushes hashrate higher, and broadens who can mine.

Strengthen Local Bitcoin Economies

Circular BTC flows anchor Bitcoin as a transactional medium, not just “number go up.” Multiple local uses—payments, heating, energy—reduce reliance on fragile fiat rails. Local trustless BTC economies are true decentralization in action.

Mobility & No-Permission Operation = Censorship Resistance

Nodes/miners without fixed location or legal vulnerability are hard to shut down. “Nodes can leave and rejoin the network at will…” (white-paper, §5).

Summary:

This is exactly the trajectory Bitcoin needs—ubiquitous, permissionless, energy-efficient, hostile to censorship. Miners harvesting waste heat? Double-win. But: decentralization is always at risk from cost, centralization of mining hardware, or regulation squeezing device sources.

Question:

Where’s the biggest friction—hardware sourcing, capital, or local buy-in?

My 1st question to Satoshi:

Love this chat so much!

How much more powerful & reslient would the Bitcoin network be with 1 Million new Nodes that:

Powered by local distributed solar + Storage micro-grids Powering nodes securing personal data and keys.

Provding energy for Micro miners hasing and mining. Paired for optimal low cost of energy

Harvesting the heat from mining as thermal generation to heat water & space heating?

Using the Sats earned to spend on local economy, creating local network of BTC rails, running Transactions. BTC as a medium exchange

Semi-permenant to mobile systems that can produce power, hash, and heat anywhere ,anytime. Requiring no permits or permissions

A Truly Decentralized & Distributed Network

Hi All,

Im having issues with connecting my Alby wallet to Primal.

Primal doesn't work in IOS Brave browser, I cna login in but can't zap... but does work in Safari, does Alby extension only work in Chrome?

Really exited about Nostsr and lots of Zaps, appreciate any insights?
