You can send some of that my way if you want.

They probably were storing passwords in clear text.

💯% Until I can walk into any business and pay with Bitcoin, get my paycheck in Bitcoin, and not have to explain why Bitcoin isn’t a Ponzi scheme, we’ll have the continue the work.

What about arresting the plentiful number of people in government who rip off little boys and girls. This whole Epstein thing is way larger than we knew. They just proved it by trying to shame us all to forgetting about it. I have a feeling it would cause a seismic shift in the power structures of numerous countries and companies around the world. If you were looking for the deep state, this is the front door to the whole place.

After a long hiatus from mining anything, I recently bought a BitAxe Supra and pressed it into service. The reason I got back into it wasn’t so much that I expected to actually mine a block successfully, but rather because of the ease with which it was to set up and start mining. There was also a little bit of satisfaction realizing that this was supporting the disparate and decentralized needs of Bitcoin mining knowing that mining has become largely centralized in a way through the large industrialized pool operations.

Looking forward, I do wonder what effect the eventual reduction of the block rewards will do to the large mining operations. If the price per Bitcoin doesn’t increase at a rate enough to offset the eventual reduction of block rewards, industrialized mining operations might dwindle. It seems as if that has already been happening somewhat. Maybe this will have the effect of lessening the (potential) influence of the large operators. I worry about some large pool operator(s) requiring members to run customized mining software to be part of the pool that could hijack consensus on the Bitcoin network.

Lastly, I bought my BitAxe solely with Bitcoin. I’m liking having the option to buy purely with Bitcoin. The Bitcoin economy needs more of that.

I’ve been using Silent.link for a while, but recently there’s been a significant upward price movement per gig of data with the carriers here in the US. What’s going on?

I’m much more of a walking kind. People tell me something about a runner’s high, but I have yet to experience that.

Last night at this time I witnessed a drowning.

I was about to go get a wave for sunset and a lady frantically ran up to me asking for help.

I saw people struggling in the water from a distance, started sprinting over and yelled for nostr:nprofile1qqsruc574qq9ty9hehnpszmxrl2kdds4ujs5vauekwhz4ahtpamx29qppemhxue69uhku6n4d4czumt9qyv8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnnv43xzum5d9uzuer9wcte2hxq to join the effort.

The man was unconscious by the time we got there and we helped his lifeless body get to shore.

His wife and teenage kids were there and some friends. Many came to assist the effort. It was a horrendous, desperate scene with the kids and mother screaming and wheeping.

Despite multiple cpr classes, nothing prepares you for the real thing. I felt quite unprepared and I can’t help but wonder if all of us did what was best to save the man. I don’t think he made it, but have not confirmed.

Man that was heavy. It was tough sleeping last night as I laid awake reading about how to deal

With this if there is a next time. Massive respect to first responders to those who deal with situations like this on a daily basis. And prayers to the family who may have lost their dad.

That’s tough. You did what you thought was best to try to save a life and that’s commendable. Nothing more could be asked of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family who probably lost a husband and dad last night.
