oh nevermind I thought the seed on the top was the seedsigner logo
still, maybe reformulating my question: does this generate a valid address?
I assume words that don't belong to bip39 (e.g.: god's) won't have any standard way to generate a valid path under most user-facing software
perhaps custom software might be able to land into a secp256k1 from this, but I think it would no longer be part of the bip39 standard

it was a cohort of ~15 devs from the local indian community 🇮🇳
we had 3 pools and ~12 miners using Sv2 JD to declare their own templates to mine on a custom signet deployed on the VPS of SRI community
the workshop went on for about ~2h was a big success!
everyone was able to find blocks via decentralized Sv2 mining ⛏️

that's a multidimensional analysis
at a global level, how many shares can your system process at a fixed unit of time?
that's a function of:
1.⁠ ⁠how much resources are available on your system
2.⁠ ⁠how many downstreams are being served
3.⁠ ⁠each downstream's hashrate
- assuming 1 is fixed, more downstreams means each of them must send shares less often
- assuming 2+3 are fixed, more resources means shares can arrive from each downstream more often
so your modeling should start with a single downstream so you can measure your system's max capacity
start with a high difficulty target and gradually decrease the difficulty so you get shares more often, until you find your max capacity
if you get to difficulty 0 without hitting bottlenecks, either add more downstreams or switch to a more powerful one
once you find your max capacity, then for each production downstream, adjust their difficulty targets so your system is operating below this ceiling

if spammers want to PoW their spam, good for them!
because that's kind of the point:
now they needs to invest in real-world real sources to sustain their load, so they have to carefully calculate how far they're willing to go with their spam.
and relays can always set a PoW limit that is high enough.
but I don't think BitAxes will be useful here!
fun fact I learned from skot9000:
Bitcoin mining ASICs can only calculate sha256d hashes for 80 byte preimages.
maybe a skillful hacker could make something work with severe limitations on note size, but I'm actually quite curious to see a potential economy of nostr note mining around GPUs 🎮⚙️

🗒⛏ notemine_hw ⚡⚙️
I recently discovered the notemine crate, which is a rust-base note miner.
the project compiles to WASM and caters for a web-native experience.
so I forked it into notemine_hw with the goal to support hardware acceleration (GPU, FPGA, ASIC) for mining nostr notes.
most of the boilerplate is bootstrapped (including CLI), while the WASM stuff were removed.
next steps are integration of Metal (MacOS) and OpenCL (Linux) libraries to replace the CPU-based SHA256 hashing.
I'm quite busy doing PoW on SV2 so I'm not sure how far I will get, but if any Nostr-PoW enthusiasts want to carry on the torch, contributions are very much welcome

You can't fight city hall, death and taxes.
Don't talk about politics or religion.
This is all the equivalent of enemy propaganda rolling across the picket line.
"LAY DOWN, G.I.! LAY DOWN, G.I.!"
We saw it all through the 20th Century.
And now in the 21st Century, it's time to stand up and realize that we should not allow ourselves to be crammed into this rat maze.
We should not submit to dehumanization.
I don't know about you, but I'm concerned with what's happening in this world.
I'm concerned with the structure.
I'm concerned witht he systems of control, those that control my life and those that seek to control it even more!
I WANT FREEDOM! THAT'S WHAT I WANT! AND THAT'S WHAT YOU SHOULD WANT!
It's up to each and every one of us to turn loose and just shovel the greed, the hatred, the envy, and yes, the insecurities...
Because that is the central mode of control: make us feel pathetic, small... so we'll willingly give up our sovereignty, our liberty, our destiny.
We have got to realize that we'er being conditioned on a mass scale.
Start challenging this corporate slave state!
The 21st Century is gonna be a new century, not the century of slavery, not the century of lies and issues of no significance.
And classism and statism and all the rest of the modes of control!
It's gonna be the age of humankind, standing up for something pure and something right!
What a bunch of garbage: liberal, Democrat, conservative, Republican.
It's all there to control you. Two sides of the same coin. Two management teams bidding for control!
The C.E.O. job of Slavery Incorporated!
The truth is out there in front of you, but they lay out this buffet of lies!
I'm sick of it, and I'm not gonna take a bit out of it! Do you got me?
Resistance is not futile. We're gonna win this thing. Humankind is too good! We're not a bunch of underachievers!
We're gonna stand up and we're gonna be human beings!
We're gonna get fired up about the real things, the things that matter:
Creativity and the dynamic human spirit that refuses to submit!
Well, that's it! That's all I got to say! It's in your court.

I attended BTC Prague 2024 as a contributor to Stratum Reference Implementation (SRI)
I helped the SRI community deliver a hands-on workshop during HRF dev/hack/day. We had very positive engagement from Hashlabs Mining.
We also spoke with some relevant industry players, including:
- Demand, which is trailblazing SV2 adoption with the Job Declaration protocol. I'm very bullish on how they are decentralizing mining by allowing their hashers to select transactions.
- Braiins, which gave us a sample of their new BMM100 (SV2 enabled Home Miner). It will allow us to test SV2 interoperability between SRI and BOS firmware.
- Marathon, which gave us a sample of their new UCB2100 (Antminer Control Board).
- Ocean, whose community of hashers could benefit from an off-the-shelf FOSS SV1 Proxy solution and reduce the incidence of empty blocks being mined on their pool.
My key takeaways with regards to SV2 adoption:
- Demand is writing some awesome libs based on SRI. I'm excited to record some live coding screencasts with @Fi3 and share that knowledge with the community.
- The Bitcoin mining industry has fragmented SV1 standards
- players are eager for SV2 enabled firmware but also working new standards for encryption and binary encoding on SV1
- FOSS SV2 firmware has great potential to boost adoption (e.g.: github.com/plebhash/cgminer-sv2 🙏)
- Industry players will adopt SV2 when they are ready, and this will be a gradual transition.
- Bitcoin is at its healthiest when hashpower flows easily across different pools
- INTEROPERABILITY INTEROPERABILITY INTEROPERABILITY

It's fair to point out that SV2 JD (as a protocol spec) is agnostic (and therefore neutral) with regards to share accounting.
But to claim that SV2 JD imposes low revenue on hashers is not a fair criticism.
Just because the industry has been stale on outdated Share Accounting models, it doesn't mean that we need to live in that world forever.
SV2 JD is shaking up market dynamics.
Business is def not "as usual", but there's also fertile ground for innovation.
Pools that are seeking and open to innovation will adopt SV2 JD and come up with multidimensional Share Accounting. There are at least 2 (but maybe more?) dimensions on this design space:
- Share Difficulty
- Share Template Fees
Also, Pools that want to move away from burdens of Regulatory Compliance can simply outsource Templates to hashers.
