Well, patriotism down 50%, morality thrown out the window, and spiritual dwindelling fast..

Always been intrigued by the deeper meaning of this, but not sure it has been cracked or at least the way he saw it after all the expiriments and lifelong study.

Are there still places with vibes anymore? Or did the internet kind of kill it?

I feel like digital spaces have vibes. Nostr has a vibe for sure, but everywhere I go (in America at least) feels flat, steril and homogenous now.

People like to pretend otherwise, romanticizing local charm and it’s fun to do so, but in reality there is no meaningful difference between New York, LA, Chicago, Austin, Miami etc…

The differences feel increasingly superficial. Miami with its neon pink and bad Latin art. New York with its identical minimalist cafes selling identical oat lattes. These aren’t cities anymore, they’re brands. “Keep Austin Weird” feels less like the rallying cry of a bohemian collective and more like a safe corporate brand slogan.

It wasn’t always like this. Cities used to incubate true subcultures that couldn’t thrive anywhere else. Seattle once had grunge music emerging organically from local clubs, distinct in sound and attitude. Detroit was a birthplace for techno and industrial grit that couldn’t have been manufactured. New Orleans had jazz clubs and vibrant local traditions that permeated every street corner authentically. Before the internet collapsed distances, you could sense deep authenticity upon arriving somewhere new. The vibe wasn’t something designed by marketing departments; it was organically woven into the streets, the people, the music, and local myths.

Now, vibes feel engineered and commoditized, reduced to Instagrammable moments and easily replicable aesthetics. I once watched from the balcony of my hotel in Nashville as 200 women waited in line to take the same stupid picture with the same stupid set of angel wings.

Digital spaces, ironically, have become refuges of uniqueness, fostering communities unburdened by geographical homogenization. Platforms like nostr host unique niche communities, from hyper-specific gaming bitcoin cultural milieu to obscure philosophical discussions, that retain genuinely distinctive vibes.

Perhaps we’re now entering a strange inversion, where real-world spaces chase digital popularity, adopting blandness to maximize broad appeal.

In this inversion, digital worlds might become the primary spaces where unique vibes survive, thrive, and multiply—leaving our physical world as little more than a flattened reflection of what used to be.

Nostr is where the vibes are at.

It has always been about the people. Sounds cliche but the culture follows the people, and cities that have a mix of ethnicities begin to fuse with and dilute the local culture. If this goes overboard or changes too fast you get this profit driven franchise cities.

To not stop doing sports, for the social, fitness, and fun it brings. Also to have kids earlier, but most importantly invest for the long term with a good woman

Like a Perlux ir pen or similar

1. At this moment, the only product where you can potentially make a profit is the auctions. That is IF the price at which you buy the hashrate is lower than sum total of payouts you receive for mining with what you purchased (https://blog.rigly.io/how-to-bid-on-rigly-auctions-20250127/). We do have a new product about to come out which will offer a fixed-return. This yield for that will come from miner's willingness to sell their existing hashrate at a discount in return for getting paid upfront.

2. Depends on how you choose to mine. When you buy hashrate on rigly you choose where to point that hashing power. There are different kinds of pools you can choose with different payout schemes. If you mine with FPPS which pays you per unit of computation, it doesn't matter if you the pool hits a block or not you get paid out anyway. If you mine with Ocean, which uses something like PPLNS, they pay out per block that is found proportional to the contribution to the pool. If you solo mine, you only get paid if you find the block (it's like a lottery).

3. It also depends on what pool you use, if they do not KYC, then yes you effectively mine new bitcoin without KYC.

Clear and concise thanks!

Ahem,

✨Nico just dropped a MAJOR tease and tried to be sneaky by doing it in Italian…✨

“Hi nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqpq8nagz6a53yh6d05e8trj487dhvyfhh4qchvsz87jqng4g4zl5tvs0frh8m , nice to meet you! I am Nico, one of the founders of Rigly. I speak a little Italian. The profit you get depends on the product you buy. The test drive is designed as a low cost option to try, you won't get all 1000 sats back because it is at a premium price. Instant mining options work the same way. Auctions, at the moment, can lead to a profit depending on how much other bidders raise the price and the value of the hashprice as you receive the mining. However, we are working on a new product that we will launch soon, with a fixed return: you will mine until you get back a percentage more than you paid.”

We’ve got some cool stuff we’re working on BTS 🔥🚀

1) Where would the additional yield come from?

2) if during the timeframe you rented the hashrate it hits a block who gets reward? Or does it not work this way?

3) can i put in kyc sats and get no kyc sats back🤔

Thanks!
