PoW for antispam is gonna be useless if that PoW has an ASIC for it.
i've studied the subject extensively and the only time i saw an example of PoW that was remotely viable it was bound to creating commitments for spends of coins for a duration of time (it was an eth fork) and the number of solutions allowed per account per minimum amount was pretty small. making other accounts of course you could 'stake' on more but yeah, point being that it depended on real economic limitations, so to speak.
as i see it, nostr's going to have a spam problem without the notion of a pay-per-byte model for posting, in the long run. we just haven't seen enough adoption to lead to that.
which is also why the "adoption at any cost" types should be eyed with suspicion since we aren't ready. but hey, it's the endless war between marketing and dev right?
i think as we get closer to the times it speaks of some things are rapidly becoming more concrete, it definitely warrants an update now, especially considering the new phase in the conquest of the oil lands. i've read several things including Enoch, and The Apocalypse of Yajnavalkya which point to a specific alignment of planets and moon and sun relative to the Pleiades which will portend the arrival of the Taurids and is what will produce the total destruction that is mentioned in Revelation.
the history of merged mining is that the chains rapidly lost their market relevance, most of them are literally dead now.
i already muted this guy, lol. amazon pliers. i bet they arrive and snap if you try to do that in the picture.
the superficial addressees of the letters to the churches in the beginning of revelation really seem to fit very well with the modern ones. for some reason i only memorised the story of laodicea, perhaps because i find this kind of wishy washy mealy mouthed prevarication the most vile thing in people who claim to be following a holy path, but this reminds me again how much i need to read that whole book through and through until i can almost recite it.
the relevance of the text is so acutely at an apex now i can't stand it! we are absolutely in the tribulation right now, there is no question in my mind.
Suicide Commando is GFY
the inability of grown men to say no to children is a really sad state of affairs for the quality of the next generation, they are all being spoiled like fuck, most of them are probably end of line, and will just burn the place down.
oh also, i've run gossip but that was really terrible for setting up with relays and such
lume, yana... i've tried both, yana was better but both had kinda clunky interfaces.
Milk farts usually comes from A1 diary that's been pasturized and homogenized.
Give https://getrawmilk.com/ a shot to locate raw, A2 diary (usually from Jersey cows).
not practical sitting here in the middle of the atlantic where 90% of the milk supply at all is UHT, and the one goat milk is not just UHT but skimmed down to 2%.
if i made friends with some of the cheese makers around the place i'd probably be able to get raw goat milk, which is better than cow anyway, but there won't be anyone on the internet saying so. this is still technically europe even if it's on the same longitude as marrakech.
idk who you ppl are following but you are the only ones who are obliquely mentioning price on my feed.
actually, i'm fine with talking about bitcoin but i reckon only 20% of the posts i see are about bitocoin. i must be following a bunch of philosophers or something.
ah, the shorts getting flushed again?
i learned my lesson about playing bitcoin on leverage in 2015 when the cryptokitties got haxed and my positions got flushed.
i'm on a pretty much exclusively milk/yoghurt based diet. i fart a bit from milk but yoghurt does seem to exclude this. Also, the milk farts were not that bad compared to the potato/sugar/seed oils farst.
carbs make CO2, fats don't. carbs are all synthesised, at base, from ethanol. effectively, all carbs are alcohols, look at all the OH you see on the chemical diagrams.
having said that, the sugar in milk is unique in that almost no bacteria grow off it except the duo of lactobacillis and acidophilus, and the first thing that happens is the sugar is turned into lactic acid. so, no gas is emitted from this fermentation. you just get elimination of carbs and conversion from casein to BCAAs.
already?
what i'm happy about the number going up is the increased chances of me getting work on bitcoin related things, due to the psychology of "only have to pay this many sats now".
i always won the spelling bees. it's also a very important skill to have as a computer programmer, i think.
idk, there is a stream of christianity that hates on prophecy because of apocalyptic cults.
also, being an atheist DOES mean you think the world is going to end, because one of the articles of faith of atheists is the eventual heat death and utter decadence of the universe in total entropy. of course there is some who don't follow the doctrine of big bang/heat death but most do.
i see no evidence for said entropy ratio to ever change, neither has it changed in the past that we have been able to see anywhere, nor do i expect it changes anywhere in the future.
what is hilarious about atheists is that they think they don't have a belief system, and that they can disregard the intangible in their thinking. it's one of the pleasures of seeing their surprise every time quantum physics proves this wrong.
the sinner shall also be hated until they repent. they should not be dealt with while their sin prevents them from honoring their contracts too.
some people can be sinners and yet honor their contracts, these people can be trusted as far as the business but not where they err.
