As it stands, buying mining equipment is so opaque to an outsider that he's more likely to get scammed trying to get one. If I haven't read Mining for the Streets by Diverter and Econoalchemist's Mining blog, I wouldn't even have a lick of idea where to start.
There's a clear lack of open and accssible knowledge on this side of Bitcoin. It also doesn't help that there's only a handful of companies that actually produce the equipment.
If you're to ask me why Bitcoin mining got so centralized, it's because of those two factors.

Thanks for trying it out. It also does that for me. That sucks, I hope they sort that out. I would gladly pay for a Fountain.fm premium if they're offering it via Lightning.

This is my guess as well. If Stroll Jr. doesn't improve he's going to further drag AM's 2024 campaign to the ground. The lack of performance could be grounds to put Stroll Jr. on the WEC program that AM seems to be developing. But eh, who knows.
I mean, if he can at least match or be a tenth slower than Alonso they'd comfortably outscore Mercedes in points.
Maybe Stroll Sr. won't consider that since it's his son and all. But if he's a true racer, he'll at some point have to put his son on the rock grinder for dragging AM down.

Maybe I'm a bit cynical about Mercedes lately. It feels as if they're just going backwards this rules cycle.
I seriously hope they get it right in 2026. But their current form really doesn't inspire confidence. I'd be happy to be proven wrong though.

2024-04-20 13:13:00 UTC

This might be long shot but I figured I might as well try it.
Are there any link repositories that catalog the relevant talks and articles on the latest developments in Bitcoin? Perhaps stuff between early 2023 up to today?
I'm thinking of stuff specifically related to Covenants (it doesn't have to be just about Covenants). I've seen the wiki for it and going through that feels like I've been dropped in the middle of a highly technical textbook and I don't have any context for it.
I appreciate any help on the matter, thanks in advance!

Sadly, Mercedes doesn't look like an attractive option right now. If they can't get a handle of the current regs, who's to say that they can handle 2026?
Admittedly, Audi is also an unknown quantity. But I'm firmly of the belief that the 2026 engine regs are the way they are precisely to entice Audi into F1 (a la Mercedes for the 2014 engine regs).

I did hear that line during the quali as well. Very interesting. If that's true and the ball is in Sainz' court then it becomes a question of whether (a) he's patient enough to see Audi develop into a championship winning team or (b) he's brave enough to fight Verstappen in his team and take a WDC right under his nose just before the regulations change.
I'd personally wager on the safer option. Bank in Audi and hope that they can quickly produce a championship winning car before he gets too old and decline in performance.

> Have you tried using any specific tools or techniques for archiving your links?
Not really. I just manually archive my links on archive.md and Web Archive and keep track of them in a number of places. It's a bit primitive but I really prefer having them in plain text since that's easier to handle.
I've also done a bit of self-hosting my own web archive of sorts using Archivebox but maintaining it is a bit of a chore that I'm just not up for just yet.
> And what about Nostr notes - do you find them helpful in keeping track of your online resources?
Not yet. Though I've spun up my own whitelisted Nostr relay just to backup the notes that I've sent over the network. It's not perfect but it'll do for now.
How about you?

I'm currently archiving a bunch of links that I've saved while browsing the web. I don't think a lot of people realize how fragile web links can be.
There's nothing more annoying than going through your bookmarks only to find out that 70-80% of them are 404s.

I have a set budget for XMR the same way that I have a set budget for BTC. Admittedly, I do spend XMR a bit more compared to BTC but I think that's just because XMR has this really handy Monerica page that makes it easy to find places to spend XMR [1].

Lately, I've been hopping around various Nostr clients trying to find the "right one" for me.
I think the one that takes the cake, at least for now, is Lume. It's a desktop microblogging client that just gets the UI/UX for this kind of thing right. Anything else that I've used is either too cluttered, too disjointed or just plain missing some key features.
Lume isn't perfect either. The most recent non-alpha update: 3.0.1 is agonizingly slow on my laptop for some reason and it frequently just dies with an odd error.
That said, I'll probably end up opening an issue on the project's Github page since I care enough that I want it to be developed into a proper and stable Nostr browser.

I like Monero as much as the next guy, but wouldn't delisting make it harder for people to get into it?
As it stands right now, I can only get Monero by getting Bitcoin for fiat and then converting that to Monero.
There's little to no market for Monero in where I live so it's practically impossible to get it even on P2P exchanges like Agoradesk.

It's not built on Ethereum. They're just using it to associate a Galaxy, Star, and Planet to a unique public key (in this case an Ethereum address). Those aren't just "tiers of cloud hosting," they're uniquely identifiable points that facilitates P2P comms (peer discovery and routing) inside the network.
It's annoying that they've built their PKI on Ethereum. I don't like it as well. If it's possible to move it on Bitcoin I'll be one of the first people to advocate for it.
Urbit is a worthy piece of tech in itself and it's merits shouldn't be understated just because its public key infrastructure is on Ethereum.

Urbit massively simplifies the entire dance of spinning up a VM, installing n+1 packages, and running n+1 Docker containers. It's literally a VM that you can run anywhere that has its entire communications and publishing stack built-in.

Yeah, I think docker has its perks. It makes it easy to deploy stuff and all. It's also great if you are running a VPS with multiple services and you don't want to deal with those services conflicting with each other.
That said, I just think that a relay that's designed for small groups should be as simple and straightforward as possible. Not relying on docker for deployment could reduce the maintenance overhead and headaches while troubleshooting.
There are bunch of relays out there but most of them are in the very early stages of development. I think most relays use either one of the three: nostr-rs-relay, strfry or nostream.

2023-04-18 05:15:07 UTC

- reply

Hey, thanks for the response.
I think one of the biggest points to improve on relay implementations is the ease of deployment. Right now, it's still a bit arcane to manage your own relay and a lot of them still rely on docker magic to make them work.
I'm not sure if this is a controversial take but I always view a project's reliance on docker as a sign that it's gone a bit unwieldy and complex. Aside from that, it's also hard and messy to troubleshoot docker containers when things go wrong.
If I'm to ponder about it, my ideal "small group" nostr relay would just be a plain package that someone with little experience can install using their distro's package manager, with standard config files under /etc and a basic rc/systemd script that starts and manages it.

2023-04-18 03:56:27 UTC

I've seen a bunch of nostr relay implementations that focus on high performance, high throughput scenarios.
While those can be great for large public relays, I hope someone takes the torch and makes a simple and easy to deploy relay that focuses on individuals and small groups.
