A morning in the life of an IT guy: While driving to the company my mobile rings frantically but i cannot wriggle it out of my pocket... the call drops three times while worst case cenarios emerge in my head (ransomware? major outage?) until i finally manage to pick it up just to hear "Hey, i just wanted to remind you that Dave is leaving today and he brought a giant cake"
Now i need a coffee...

Interesting workday: Starting with a long chat with my boss about Bitcoin integration, and finishing with a new asignment regarding the development of a new app which will be hosted on the "Internetcomputer" of DFINITY

2023-05-23 06:15:00

A mug of fresh coffee, the birds are chirping outside and my boss old me that he wants to gain a deeper understanding of Bitcoin and wants to evaluate if we can intgrate it in our business processes... so far a good start into the day

American work culture will always remain an enigma for me...

2023-05-18 17:23:57

After being out of the loop of the whole #Web3 for a couple of years i am simply amazed at the cambrian explosion of the whole ecosystem of #decentralised technologies. Somehow it feels a bit like the time when i started my journey in the IT world back at the end of the 80s with a downhanded C64... its overwhelming but absolutely cool... and so much new to learn

I am not an american, so i have more or less a view from the spectator seat, but i find it interesting how long this divide between the citites and "everyone else" seems to exist... i can remember being around in some "special" forum back in the late 90s or early 00s when a guy calling himself John Titor did forsee a coming civil war in the US not between states, but more or less between the city dwelling populous and the countryside.
Ok, the guy also claimed to be a time traveller, but nevertheless an interesting insight in the american psyche...

Well, #Lightning seems to be a nice solution especially for fast, small transactions as you would expect in small scale shops like little grocery stores or something like a bakery... handling digital payment nearly the way you would make a cash transaction is - especially for those small businesses - a nice thing.

2023-05-17 13:59:37

Today i had the opportunity to talk with a group of local merchants about digital payment solutions as part of my job as an "IT Guy", i briefly touched the topic of #Bitcoin and was met with a wall of FUD (which lead to my previous post).
Interestingly, now having talked to a few of this local shopowners (small grocery stores and a bakery) some really starting to have an interest in learning more about #Bitcoin especially after hearing about #Lightning . The nice thing they thought is that - in their view - the handling of #Bitcoin is very similar to that of cash, which is a big plus in my little corner of germany. Lets see where these initial steps will take us...

Finished porting my blog to fit the needs of #IPFS... now i am just contemplating to leave it as an #IPFS only blog or to add a http gateway

I really think #Bitcoin (and to some extend other cryptocurrencies) have the potential to be the one unifying digital currency, but one thing that - in my opinion - is the problem of the slow growing acceptance rate in businesses:
As long as the average Joe (or in my geographical region, the "Max Mustermann") can not simply walk into a store and pay with his Bitcoin / Lightning wallet or pay his stuff he regularly buys online this way, it is bound to the public perception as a niche payment tool for shady businesses or as high risk speculation.
Don't get me wrong: I find the technology and the concept of #Bitcoin great (and do so since over a decade)... but the real world use cases are sadly still very limited.

2023-05-17 07:24:36

Damn... on some days i am sure the technology i use is conspiring to drive me crazy: My car had an drained battery and required a jumpstart, arriving in the office my PC is stuck doing Windows updates, my laptop can suddenly not connect to the domain (a thing i need to investigate), the coffee machine blinks and wants to be serviced and my private phone can suddenly not be shut down / rebooted... there IS a ghost in the machine and i am totaly conviced it is an evil one

Its weird how smell can transport you back in time: I just took a break from the office and encountered the right mixture of the smell of freshly mowed grass, exhaust fumes of a two-stroke and something else to beam me for an instant back to my ten year old self flying model planes at the club...

As a german i can sadly only agree. My personal take on the roots of these problems is that decades without REAL problems let us slip into some form of learned helplessness which now bites us in the ass while the 21th century beats us over the head with tons of real problems which needs immediate attention.
This in turn leads to the feeling of beeing totally owerhelmed followed by resignation. One thing i hear often while talking about the current problems is: "I cannot change anything about this... why schould i care?"

Well, the system of direct democracy, so that people can vote directly on topics instead of electing an representative, is in my opinion, more fitting for todays times.

Another, more effective (and realistic) way would be: Make using it illegal, remove it from official appstores and send tons of propaganda that this is mostly an communication channel for child molester, terrorists and so on... Yeah, its not stopped, but bigger adoption prevented

I was something like an early adoptor of #Bitcoin back in the days when you could get a pizza for 100 coins and mine with ordinary PC hardware, then at one point i walked away for various reasons.
Now, seeing how #Bitcoin has evolved i am really impressed... the only thing that bothers me is the environmental impact of proof-of-work. What are your thoughts on this?
