BZH pleb full BTC node operator and miner

Bitcoin is internet universal money.

The property of universality:

- comes from the fact that it’s electronic

- more importantly from the fact that no one can print more of it (unlike everything else)

If the way it goes has nothing to do with our actions, why do we let it get as us?

Because we choose when to.

Hi nostr:npub1zgclj5u5km3tl7p8aatqut3gcv2hpcgeqvx5n46x67qjlxq57jeqndexk2 I love what you are trying to do.

But your FAQ can be misconstrued as disingenuous at best if your approach is B2C.

"This is highly variable and depends on your hash rate and the network's total hash rate. It could take days, months, or even longer, and there's a chance you might never successfully mine a block." => a pleb with an S9 or S19 would take hundreds of years

"Is Solo Mining Profitable?

We make it profitable by giving our miners an option to sell their hashrate on various hashrate marketplaces." => that's not solo mining

My point: you do not need to write almost-deceptive marketing stuff like they would in the 1990s. You are doing something great, just own it and be upfront.

You provide a SOLUTION for a solo miner: because he can simultaneously earn for some his hashpower while doing gambling SOLO

Good luck

NOSTR is an attempt at a decentralized marketplace we just don’t know it yet

In a townsquare people talk and chat

But 3 days a week there’s a market too

There is a reason why all shitcoins must fail

You can’t have an individual with the power of a central bank and not have it mindfuck the poor guy

The three little pigs.

For the longest time I thought it was actually about house building.

In reality it’s about surviving. You have to put in the work. That’s what I tell my kids about education. Somehow it reminds me of bitcoin as well

Don’t worry. It ll signal the plan to build more. Main issue is fencing to avoid repeat offense… cute but really annoying they are

Unpopular question:

What portion of the Lightning roadmap (well BOLTs to be precise) is geared towards :

- A/features for professional lightning services providers

- B/features for plebs to connect to each other using LN but without using those professional service providers… aka building a really distributed peer to peer network ? Aka making lightning easier for the pleb

For some reason I have the feeling that it’s mostly moving towards A .

fear of complexity leads to custodial

Custodial leads to fiat

Fiat leads to the dark side

Is it true that , as River claims, 45% of nostr zaps are just database movements and not true LN because Alby and WoS are using the same ?

Gov doesn’t to need buy all the hashrate.

They can do multi prong attack

drown the mempool with higher fees , they can spin more validation nodes , capture some miners etc …. And while they try this it will be tough to HODL

We're excited to share what we've been working on - the TrueVote app in action!

TrueVote is not just an app; it's a commitment to transparency. Built on Bitcoin, Opentimestamps, and Nostr, our open-source platform ensures tamper-proof ballot data. No smoke and mirrors, just verifiable election integrity of every ballot, every vote.

TrueVote solves two fundamental problems in elections:

1. Ballot verification: With TrueVote, you can verify your vote was counted, eliminating the uncertainty that plagues traditional voting methods.

2. Convenience: TrueVote brings voting to your fingertips, eliminating the inconvenience of polling places and mail-in ballots. Voting should be as convenient as the rest of our digital lives.

We believe in openness, which is why our tech stack is entirely open-source. Transparency isn't just a feature; it's a virtue. We're empowering voters with unprecedented visibility into the voting process.

Ballot data is validated using Opentimestamps hashing on Bitcoin. No "token" needed. No "new crypto coin" needed. Bitcoin and Bitcoin only.

And now, TrueVote uses Nostr, an innovative decentralized and open-source communications protocol, for secure authentication.

Technology (bitcoin) has made it possible to separate money and state, and it is time to decouple the state from the election process to ensure election integrity.

It's time we vote on our phones!

Homomorphic system ? Such that one can verify the votes without revealing the actual vote ?

Cheers

What pool you mine with ? What minimum do they impose before being able to withdraw… cause for me the winter season won’t be long enough to meet the minimum which means leaving sats in custody
