Narrator: the guest was not honest

> The guest was apparently honest about his crypto mining and told Ashley that he made over $100,000 during his stay.

Which makes no sense at all given:

> a tenant installed 10 mining rigs that racked up a $1,500 electricity bill in just three weeks.

I haven't checked if this has been changed in the mean time. At first glance it seems like good defense in depth, now that this cat is out of the bag. But with the rate limiting in place it takes a long time to get to 4 billion.

Regarding the first disclosure, I remember reviewing the rate limiting pull request, but didn't know about the 32-bit nIdCount field.

The PR didn't touch that variable, but just indirectly caused it to increase less. An alternative fix would have been much easier: just make it a 64-bit number. But that would have been obvious to anyone looking. Since the rate limiting was useful on its own, it makes sense to me that this indirect fix was used.

PPP adjusted sats per attendee per day should be the metric though :-)

Arnhem was only one day and it's much cheaper than Amsterdam.

Twitter login failed because it looked suspicious. I used the same IP as always. Typically it fails the first time and succeeds the next time, that was already the new normal. Anyway, Nostr doesn't have a login. nostr:note1y7vda36vs8e7dwc8zjsw6x3yqp3lx8e8yrfze3vq3d67203pdqhstl2kya

If you look carefully there's a boating accident!

I once calculated the distance I had to walk (at a fast pace, with or without elevation change) to offset a single Frappuccino. It was a depressing but certainly doable number. Some fitness apps give you a vanity number of calories spent that don't subtract baseline metabolism though.

Agree with the observation that keto mostly helps increase satiation and therefore calorie intake. The one time I did that it was very effective, but not fun.

Exercise may, in addition to obviously burning calories, have some influence on (the type of) appetite too. I haven't read up on any studies.

Maybe. But they also require citations from sources that aren't too inside baseball. And it can't read like an advertorial.

It might be possible to expand it a bit with citations from large MSM and peer reviewed papers. The latter could be more focused on topology, routing and other academic yet practically useful stuff. E.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.05322 but it has to be published somewhere.

Did he drop a truth bomb on the venue?

I can see how the US could obtain Bitcoin by printing more money, but with its current debt levels it would have to liquidate it - possibly in a bear market. That's not much of a reserve, let alone strategic. Unless they're really saying they want to default on all debt first and then build the reserve.

But here I'm assuming they're actually serious and not just uttering random words suggested by chatgbt to maximize votes.
