Just started using my own instance of noStrudel. It feels faster and seems better than Snort in general. As of right now, Snort isn't working very well on my node.
I'm very curious, which AI model was used for this image? A Stable Diffusion model or the new Flux model?
Could you please reduce our rewards to 1 sat every 100,000 purchases? 😏
Finished the new animated Batman show. Meh, the ending was a bit disappointing. The idea is to leave it as a cliff hanger. I'd watch another season I suppose. It's not bad.
Might as well say just because... I watched the new Deadpool and Wolverine movie recently. It was quite good and it's gotten me interested in Marvel's current phase moreso than any movie prior.
Watching the new Batman Caped Crusader show. Just finished the first episode. It's likeable and it's good. Not exactly amazing but I find it refreshing. However the background artwork is stellar. I'll probably post more thoughts and feelings after some more episodes.
The hardest part about Bitcoin is that your enemies will use it. 😔
Artistically, this new ToonTown project looks interesting. I haven't watched the entire video yet to understand their gameplay changes but I did get a glimpse. I'm honestly just posting this for my own sake so I can remember the project.
It seems to be the case. Maybe in a few more years everyone will know for certain. 🤔
Ya there's a neverending pushback of centralized and decentralized forces. Like, camera surveillance for a grocery store is fine and it makes sense. Though I draw lines regarding surveillance from a purely tech perspective. I know I draw some lines about what's ok for me to do in regards to decentralized tech but that's more a personal "don't" than "the tech needs to be limited."
In regards to taxes in the west, man I would love it if we were on a Bitcoin standard. Then maybe we could become educated about issues that the government could help with and we could vote with our tax money effectively. If someone doesn't agree they don't have to pay the tax. Taxes could actually function and work properly according to what the people deem reasonable. As long as the people can be reasonable. Which might also be a tall task in and of itself. At least this could be a systematic nudge towards something better.
Yes, I've gotten some one sat ads before. I don't mind that. I don't need to look at the memo and it's an extra sat. 😆
Interesting game... Some bots are liking posts to advertise their accounts and their products. Now this is definitely not new but it's certainly new to me. Kinda cool!
I used to think Monero was a great idea. But honestly, I'm not so sure anymore. nostr:npub1s33sw6y2p8kpz2t8avz5feu2n6yvfr6swykrnm2frletd7spnt5qew252p has a great video talking about this issue. I think he's brought some good points to the discussion. https://youtu.be/1LTT7wwyUAQ
Interesting fact, Bitcoin does actually have "inflation" but it halves until it reaches that 21 million asymptote. At that point, we will be effectively capped at 21 million.
Also from what I gather any of the new bitcoin from the block subsidy past 21 million will not be usable by the protocol. I need to sharpen up on the exact details of how that works but that's the gist of it. Kind of a cool fact! Though a little misleading to call it "inflation" in this case considering that we colloquially understand inflation as the infinite printing of fiat money.
I had gotten in a debate with a guy once and he told me about Bitcoin's asymptotic feature, saying Bitcoin had "inflation." Funnily enough but he was against Bitcoin. He came off as a bit trolly or perhaps a bit arrogant. Kind of resorted to using a bit of ad hominem, the "uneducated mob", and the authoritative position he was currently in.
Though in his defense we were doing something very unrelated to Bitcoin at the time, so it's also possible he just wanted to focus on that thing and not a discussion about Bitcoin. Which is fair considering how Bitcoin is in a political league of its own and there are people who are against it due to the fact that many still conflate scam coins and Bitcoin. 🤷♂️
