so you are hashing:

- prior block data

- pending block txns

- nonce

and to get a hash with enough leading zeros, you just change the nonce. is that correct?

i am a less technical bitcoiner

where does the random guess come from???

Your fiat web juice is my people buying wine with bitcoin

The financial incentives of Twitter sucked me back there. I miss you guys. I miss the weirdness.

Carry on 🥲 #Bitcoin

Back in my day…

I'm probably a more die-hard Bitcoin maxi than people seem to think. I firmly believe Bitcoin will eventually have to replace all other money and forms of value settlement. If someone wants to buy anything, including silly or harmful things I don't like, in that world, the only good money will be Bitcoin. And with layers, we don't necessarily need to change the chain to do it. People are skeptical, and I can understand that, but that doesn't change my desire to want to make that the reality, nor do I regret all the sacrifices I've made towards it.

After a decade working in tech writing software professionally, I now take jobs where I'd have to work twice as hard for half the pay just so I can work in the industry and spend every productive hour I have towards thinking about Bitcoin and how to make it better. I've delayed purchases because coin was cheap and I'd rather have the coin. I've put myself through development hell building Carbonado because I wouldn't settle for compromises such as using Arweave.

This is the level of conviction the system of fiat and the shitcoiners are up against. And I know they have no chance, because I'm not the only one making sacrifices on this level to make this happen. I can't tell other people's stories, but mine is hardly the exception.

Bitcoin will win because millions risked it all and put their blood, sweat, and tears towards the most ambitious grassroots effort mankind has ever undertaken: Making it so Bitcoin can replace all the money. That won't guarantee it will, but if nobody cares and nobody puts in the work, there'll be no chance that it will.

We bitcoin because we believe in a brighter future, one filled with global egalitarianism and abundant energy, for generations to come. We, the bitcoiners, are all Satoshi.

No human has ever seen what the world really looks like. We've only seen how bundles of neurons make sense of the electrical impulses from the photons hitting the back of our retina, sending signals down the optic nerve.

If you saw the world the way it looks in totality, when you looked up in the night sky, you wouldn't see blackness. If your eyes were sensitive to infrared light, radio frequencies, microwaves, ultraviolet and the entire electromagnetic spectrum, you'd see a universe glowing brilliantly above you. Yet we see but a tiny sliver of what we call "visible light".

It is strange that our intuition is that the human eye is the gold standard for visual perception of reality, when it sees so little of it.

Apple Easter eggs have always been a thing. This is the best ever.

The entirety of my mentions every time I open the app is people complaining about damus. Finding myself not wanting to open the app as much these days. I have been working 24/7 since December and even pushed an update in the air on the way to CR. Reminder I’m not making any money on this app and its still a passion project is slowly bankrupting me. Sorry if I’m not working hard enough 😕

Yoooooooooo careful. Powerful people are watching and they may not like the power of pocket steak. It's growing quickly

Tell me a concert you have attended that dates you.

Mine is Oingo Boingo.

Thank you, I'll give them to the next 15 people I like, splitting them into sets of 69 each.

Just setting up my zaps 😅

Followed you 🤙

What are you up to this evening Nostr?

**Fold has removed the Metaverse from their app**

The Metaverse allowed for players to earn 200 sats a day and 3 spins per day. While the sats don't amount to all that much, the spins here were the real prize from this daily game.

Fold doing away with their Metaverse game hits hard. Power users relied on those 3 additional spins for large purchases. They would always make sure they had 3 spins in the bank from the previous day and then 3 spins from the current day before making a large purchase.

It seems that every 3-6 months or so, Fold users have to completely rethink their strategy.

The current strategy is to buy bitcoin through Fold and earn spins that way. However, for this all to work out, Fold users need to time their DCA together with their large purchases.

If you're a Fold user, how does this change make you feel? I'm unimpressed at the moment. I guess that means I better get back to building.
