My pleasure. Glad you enjoyed the episode.

Latest Pleb Underground episode I’m on just dropped & I clearly had too much fun with this one.

Speaking about #Bitcoin Adoption in Namibia 🇳🇦 while also sharing a bit of history & some of what’s to come. The work is far from done 🦾

The name of the software is XMrig and not XMR, so that is where your confusion in the assumption comes from.

I am & will always remain Bitcoin Only. I don’t Shitcoin.

Nah, CPU mining is definitely not profitable & hasn’t been for a very long time now. But it is great for educationals & workshops so that people can get an understanding of what Bitcoin mining is, how to assign a worker to a pool, etc…

Nope. It mines BTC since XMRig allows for you to mine any coin you want using unminable.

You need to specify what coin you are mining (BRC) in the config along with your BTC address, mining pool address, port and miner name.

Just check out a tutorial on it. I don’t need to touch anything else but Bitcoin. Why are you trying to imply that I’m doing that when it’s not necessary to use the software & isn’t what is happening?

Nope. Mining BTC via unminable. If you look at the picture showing the 3 miners you will see the auto payout is BTC.

I don’t play with shitcoins.

Nope. Just xmrig using unMineable as the pool.

Imagine never having known Command Line all these years & now experimenting with running #Bitcoin Miners in #ProxMox VMs 🥳

Like I’ve said many times before, 13 year old me is proud… so I’m happy AF 🙌🏾

Good morning Humans!! Let’s go be greater than we were yesterday 🥳

If you’re not experimenting with #Bitcoin then are you really learning anything about Bitcoin? 🤓

The notes will never forget though. Their lies would live on in some relays 😅

As they become aware of it, I don't see why not. Wasn't that one of the main arguments for NFTs that had everyone thinking it was a good idea before it all went left? The ability to give back to the followers/fans/supporters? 🤩

This is WAAAAAY better & just takes us sharing the exact note you gave

nostr:npub1arcweuxy0zkdcg08sljh058qp02ytrgnpzh4csa3ar42szyfgrpsw6ggtw allows creators to use their reach and numbers to reward their followers in a value for value economic model.

For this exmaple, let's use me. 👀

Let's say that I wanted to reward the people that followed me and also shared a note of mine. I would add the $boost tag to my note. Prism picks it up, and tracks who shared the note. Now let's say that my original note was Zapped 100,000 sats. I could then in turn Zap the Prism created note all 100,000 sats, to reward users for boosting my note. That's wild.

This opens up a completely new advertising model for Zaps. The implications and use cases here are going to get really interesting.

Now back to my example. Let's say a new company with very few followers asks me talk about a product or announcement of theirs, because I have a larger reach. Maybe they do some Zapvertising? Or maybe nostr:npub1mutnyacc9uc4t5mmxvpprwsauj5p2qxq95v4a9j0jxl8wnkfvuyque23vg and I work out a deal where they Zap me 50K sats to post their announcement and talk about their announcement and I send 25K sats to everyone that boosts my announcement note.

This allows those on Nostr without large audiences to participate in essentially what is ad revenue sharing via Zapvertising. 🤯

On Twitter, if you follow some influencer and share their Tweets, you don't get paid for it, but they do! That model is broken, because it takes advantage of people's followers and the person at the top reaps all of the benefits. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth too. 😡

Boosts in this capacity are really cool as they allow for all to participate since we're all building Nostr together. It's more democratic and inclusive. I really like it. 🔥

Okay! This is INSANE & MAGICAL all at the same time 🤯

Sometimes you just gotta throw caution to the wind & ride out with the villains

Not sure why we're posting Prisms but hey $boost
