Conference: TABConf, Podcast: Blocktime, Company: ZBD, Nostr Game LN Project: Satoshi Settlers

So so so so many things I'm looking forward to next week at tabconf:

Some random things off the top of my head but not limited to:

- The hacker badges working with infrared to send and receive sats and make a game of laser tag. (good luck nostr:npub1c878wu04lfqcl5avfy3p5x83ndpvedaxv0dg7pxthakq3jqdyzcs2n8avm)

- Understanding malleability for public key reuse, and hash only encumbrance within taptree and transactions.

- Hacking old versions of Bitcoin core via Warnet workshop.

- Doing the codex32 workshop and actually understand what I'm doing.

- Getting meshtastic conference network going, and people building on top of it.

- Trying to mine a Bitcoin with all the bitaxe's we are getting.

- Seeing people learn deeper stuff with bip32, bip39, and tapscript via the CTB puzzle.

- Seeing friends.

- and ofc playing chess with nostr:npub1fuk7q4y0wzqw7vjrg7xeuuva79pg7ctg69a53zsxq6gepksufrrst9mzly

I've been spending the last several weeks learning about Bitcoin, specifically deep things and nuance with bip32, how apps have implemented this, and combinations with bip39. It amazes me how little I know whenever I do a dive like this..

nostr:npub1rtlqca8r6auyaw5n5h3l5422dm4sry5dzfee4696fqe8s6qgudks7djtfs gave me some words of motivation the other day, I think I want to start doing technical content again soon through Blocktime podcast. After nostr:npub17yqgpat6e6ensd78jqhj4c3ef03uq04uqu3z05rhjnlk67lwm8wq9w5269 I'll plan to knock a few videos and see if it gets some traction.

For those of you running a Bitaxe, what's your best difficulty so far?

After a few hours I got a 6.52M.

I understand why one would do solomining with a bitaxe, If a Bitaxe costs about $150, and you can make about 2-3 cents of bitcoin per day. Than it would take about 14 years without difficulty change to make your money back (i.e. will never pay for itself). Vs.. lottery ticket + more decentralization + big pay day + fun.

Am I wrong?

Crazy to think, if you had 1 bitaxe in it's current form in 2017, you'd of had more hashrate than the entire network at the time.

I just bought enough hardware today to build 60 devices, feel free to bring your own hardware stuff too! The more the merrier.

Sent you a DM earlier (not sure if you see it). I want to buy a bunch of devices for the conference. But had some general questions that I wanted to cover, if you're available for a quick chat.

Anyone with good experience with meshtastic want to help nostr:npub17yqgpat6e6ensd78jqhj4c3ef03uq04uqu3z05rhjnlk67lwm8wq9w5269 have an amazing meshing time?

There is an inspired game being worked on right now "Satoshi Settlers" the hash of the block determines the type of land, the world map is the bitcoin blockchain, get's bigger every time a block is mined. Still a WIP, but also currently live. nostr:npub1wz8v75sfhx2h0kggwp328ehr0aanl8c3uxzxqmxk4uvvzzm6xruqtc4qjt
