Ah. I don't play pancake games any more. Don't even have the time to play the VR games I like!
Really enjoying Arizona Sunshine 2 thus far.
It's pretty cool to have a German Shepherd buddy who helps warn you about enemies, slows them down, and can reach tough spots to retrieve items.
Also, I was overjoyed once I realized he can carry extra pistols for you on his tactical vest! 💪
It's rather amusing that Trump is winning all the Republican debates without even attending them.
I've enjoyed my Vive Pro for 5 years, but it appears the components are reaching end of life.
Replacement wireless adapter: $250
Replacement controllers: $200 each
The more upsetting thing is that there doesn't appear to be any significant advancement on the hardware side in 5 years. I'd love to upgrade, not just buy the same gear!
You really shouldn't have more than single digit percentage of your stack in a lightning wallet.
Well, that's refreshing.

My idea of gambling is trying to buy the weekend blockspace dip.
Gonna be interesting to see how my annual node sync performance tests do this year with the popularization of inscriptions. 😊
Feels a bit slower lately.
You'll be less confused & upset once you internalize the fact that nostr:npub1lh273a4wpkup00stw8dzqjvvrqrfdrv2v3v4t8pynuezlfe5vjnsnaa9nk is Bitcoin's Tenth Man.
Grok gets it.

I supported BIP101 which was implemented in XT.
You're thinking about a change that deprioritized connections from tor exit nodes to mitigate DoS attacks conducted via tor to fill up connection slots. I was neutral on that one.
Perhaps because I say what I think rather than conforming to whatever the current popular narrative is; I've been cancelled countless times.
Also, I think there's plenty of room for non-Bitcoin crypto networks that offer different utility. I explore many technologies and I don't apologize for it.
People tend to form a mental model of me based upon my posts they've seen, then they get upset when I do something that breaks their model.
IDK about "good" vs "bad" guy because it's subjective. I consider myself good because I've educated many people and also helped many folks secure their funds. I don't defraud folks - the services I provide are quite transparent, even if some folks disagree with them.
I seriously doubt many pools are discussing how to limit their revenue.
Quite the opposite - they love the recent developments that have boosted fees.
It's been 5 months since I critiqued Softwar and instead of rebutting any of my points, Lowery opted to disappear. 🤷♂️
Softwar is incomprehensible because it's bullshit, as I explained at length.
I tend to agree. The economics should work themselves out without need for intervention.
"Bitcoin is not for storing data" takes a bit of subjective gymnastics. Bitcoin is literally a database. It's just the least performant database ever invented with some unique properties as a result.
As I've said for some time, whenever you have a database and a scripting language, you're going to have crafty devs figure out how to leverage it in unintended ways. Trying to stop them turns into a game of whack-a-mole.
I'm saying that the portion of hashrate that chooses ideology over profit maximization will be quite small and I'm skeptical it's a sustainable business model in such a highly competitive space.
