Nice. Kinda funny, amethyst thinks the CSS colors are hashtags and lists them at the bottom of this post 😅

Unpopular opinion: When bitcoin has become really mainstream and the world pretty much depends on it working well as money, there will be zero tolerance to spam. Spam will be expensive, but that won't stop bad actors. Big measures will be taken if necessary, and the op_return PR will go down as one of the most startling stupidities in bitcoin history.

Not longer than that? I guess people have no sense for some fun activism...

The unix philosophy.

Make each program do one thing and do it well. Then make all programs interoperable.

Unit bias is an issue with Bitcoin. Newcomers often buy Dogecoin or other altcoins simply because they can own "a lot" of them, while the idea of ever owning a whole Bitcoin feels impossible. One proposed solution by nostr:nprofile1qqsgeksa4tajm7x673gq2v7t56dkgkh6pjhhzdhrgxlpke4za8jmmkqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgjwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxqgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejqetk0p4 is to shift the language from 21 million bitcoins to 2.1 quadrillion bitcoins. Bitcoin is a great brand name and using satoshis or sats can be confusing. This would fix that too.

However, I feel this proposal would create confusion too, especially for those new to Bitcoin and for the media—because for 16 years, people have heard there are only 21 million bitcoins. Explaining that the total supply hasn’t changed, only the denomination, would be exhausting. Personally, I think calling them “sats” isn’t very intuitive, they should’ve been called “bits”, but at this point, I don’t really care.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

People are free to call the units what they want of course, but if you go and call sats bitcoin, then I think it's also your duty to deal with and fix the massive avalanche of confusion that's gonna come at you. It will be HELL and it will be your fault.

Seriously, if no-conoiners have trouble figuring out sats, good luck explaining the infinite pizza problem once you have "changed the issuance" or done "stock splits" or whatnot... 'Cause there will be massive outcry over that perception and it will be all over the mainstream media.

But I'm confident nostr:nprofile1qqsgeksa4tajm7x673gq2v7t56dkgkh6pjhhzdhrgxlpke4za8jmmkqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqgjwaehxw309ac82unsd3jhqct89ejhxqgkwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucnpdejqetk0p4 will never get enough support for that absolutely moronic idea, so no worries.😘

Cool! Thanks.

In your opinion, what would be the minimum system requirements for an all-in-one system that runs knots, datum and als mines on a couple of local asic chips?

Suppose I wanted to design and build such a single-board miner, what CPU type/speed, RAM and SSD size do you think I would I need to take into account?

Would something like a quad core ARM cortex A72 with 4GiB LPDDR5 and a 1TiB NVMe drive be enough in your opinion?

First order. I see SoV as a constant and MoE as a time depended change of that constant.

Like position and velocity.

Coincidentally, in economics one talks about the velocity of money, which is the speed of which one unit moves through the economy (changes hands), so this may be quite fitting.

MoE = dSoV / dt

Just like Nixon screwed the rest of the world over Bretton woods by abandoning the gold standard, Trump is now screwing the rest of the world again by claiming the trade deficit the US needed to run due to Bretton woods was unfair and demanding compensation.

Bretton woods was a hell of a deal for the US, and the world leaders who signed it were naive.

Bretton woods was a workaround and the US masterfully exploited it's flaws. #Bitcoin is the real fix, and it has no such exploits.

Got a headache?

Try to take a hot shower onto your head, so your tiny skull expands a bit to make your swollen brain fit a little better and not hurt so much...

...or just buy some #bitcoin 🤷🏾‍♂️

Nobody* wants or needs a digital Euro.

Value hurts... Sometimes.
