Agreed!

Sorry, was just asking, artist to artist.

More centralized. With AT you're creating a data repository on a specific public server (PDS) and sign it. Then all your data is discoverable by "app view" products that sign into the PDS, and by federated relays that distribute it. You can't move your data repository to to different PDS tho.

Both are versatile. For the moment AT is more complicated on the backend (but more organized), and less complicated on the frontend, as there's no key pair to manage for users, w/ universal discoverability of repo data. AT's design is quite forward looking, targeting a frictionless add/update future

Meh, a logical fallacy, appeal to authority, and shoddy post structure. Three strikes.

If your argument’s well bottoms with:

—IMPENDING DOOM
—MASS CASUALTY EVENTS
—EXTINCTION

You’re a crisis narrative peddler, demagogue, and ideologue. What u say on a subject (informed by these doomsaying notions) shouldn't be valued—becuz it isn’t objective. A list of topics attracting this thing:

Original was a .TXT file posted to site. PDF conversion from that after. No meta. His posts etc have gone thru timestamp & linguistic analysis which provided small clues as to country origin, but no smoking guns. Never wanted to be found, made sure that was the case wether people respected it or not

DeFi: an orgy of swaps, wraps, burns, mints, and stakes run by dapps designed to optimize token interactions to keep the orgy going

Web2: you are the product

Web3: you are the exit liquidity

That would be interesting. Doesn't it feel like the grooming last year was Gavin doing what he was asked to do more than it was a shadow campaign, including those weird proxy debates? I could be wrong but, Biden powering through a full campaign seems a lot further away than did was 6 months ago. 🤷‍♂️

There are western and russian journalists in russian prison today. Reporting on dictatorship and interviewing a dictator are different. Tucker is a tv personality and commentator, not a journalist. He's never called Putin a dictator. There's nothing for us to gain. There is for Tucker and Putin tho.

It's not computer equipment generally (we're talking pool operator) but the protection of property rights, and access to cap markets. Most publicly listed (stock mkt) miners direct all or some of their hash to Foundry. I assumed Foundry would play a jurisdiction game, operating partly from tax haven
February 7, 2024 at 4:12 AM
That's a static visual. Look at the x-axis (time) for where the trend and growth is. You'll find the US and Canada gaining the most hashpower, along with a dramatic shift in mining pool share from E to W. Foundry, the largest mining pool operator (not miner, but pool op) is based in NY of all places

Hmm:

two dictators kicked out the miners of a currency they couldn't control or acquire without the work or violence...

man blogs about a faux prison that went bust when duress pins, privacy software, and exchanges went mainstream...

mining hashpower proliferates in democratic countries...

But that's not the way the grid is. All prod electricity necessarily must flow into a TX business or household. Where does the excess get monetized? The storm was a freak event. TX residential electric kwh is cheaper than NE avg. TX business kwh is the same. Contracts r not. Renewable supply is not.
February 7, 2024 at 12:12 AM
And then directionally, TX plans to add more renewable in the next 6 years than any state in the country. All the intermittent excess has to go somewhere, and there are not many good arguments for businesses that can use it. Again, that grid isn't attached elsewhere, no HVDC interconnectors.
February 6, 2024 at 11:36 PM
Hmm, TX produces 33 milliion mwh of renewable. The closest next state isn't very close (WA 25M). Miners didn't go to TX by mistake. Energy contracts are built around that. Data centers btw, can't shut down without grave consequences. Miners can shut down in 30s and reboot entirely in under 2 min
February 6, 2024 at 11:33 PM
Is anything else on the list "false"? Nice misnomer. Now go pass the "6" conversation onto your colleagues with grave tones and bulged eyes.

Lastly, the btc mining economy of scale naturally trends renewable. Mining can put more than tax subsidies in renewable producer's pockets. The renewable transition is already happening, and the design pattern of energy prod/delivery is set, innovation is just happening slower than most hav patience
February 6, 2024 at 10:23 PM
So yes, independence of ERCOT is important, and yes, contracts have alot to do with consumption, and renewable economics. The wind still blows while everyone sleeps. You don't idle reactors because they're tired. The sun hits land with variable intensity based on cloud cover.
February 6, 2024 at 10:20 PM
They don't set up in Nebraska because NE doesn't have the massive amount of renewable energy infrastructure TX does. Thusly, the energy contracts are NOT favorable, even though NE's climate is more favorable. And because NE doesn't have an indie grid, there is federal oversight of how it's used.>

Pay-to-ip was an option that came out of satoshi's namecoin idea. There's no advantage of pay-to-ip if u have a centralized dns provider, other than human readable addressing in wallets. FOSS payment software (like btcpayserver, etc) is a better option if u need decentralized payment infrastructure
