Looks like "they" are preparing to squat on the Bitcoin and claim it for their own purposes. (Bitcoin for me, but not for thee)
>Are you working out a new strategy?
Maybe, who knows. I think it's important to always make yourself less reliant on platforms and self-host as much of your infrastructure as possible.
>Supporting the tools that are still working?
Yes.

No.

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.

It looks like the points system for F1 is going to be revised with 11th and 12th places getting 2 and 1 points respectively.
I think it's a good change, it gives the bottom five teams a metric of how they stack against that tier. Considering that there's basically five top teams now, a bottom five team basically needs to rely on luck (or Lance Stroll bombing it) to score even a single point.
Personally, I wish they extended it a bit further to P14. That way there's a larger pool of points to fight for those in the back without diluting it too much.

I find Urbit to be a really nifty system. It simplifies a lot of the deployment stuff that you do to host services online. It's also very aesthetically pleasing to use.
Since it's its own thing, it's very easy to move your Urbit from one machine to the otber making your entire server stack, if you base yours on it, very portable.

Lightning + Fedimint is really shaping up to be the future of Layer 2 Bitcoin.
Granted, I haven't tried Cashu yet so I have no opinions about it. Maybe once the fees go down a bit I'll be able to try that.

So that's why my channels got sucked out of outbound liquidity. Ngl, the explanation on that page is a bit vague but thanks for explaining it here.

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.
Bonus points if they did it via Nostr Wallet Connect similar to how Mutiny does its Mutiny+ subscription.

2024-04-23 10:24:35

Will it be possible to swap from Lightning to Fedimint in the future?
At the moment, the only way for me to swap my on-chain balance to Fedimint in Mutiny is to swap that to lightning then pay an external address then pay myself back using my lightning address.

Totally agree. Sucks that Sauber isn't getting a lot of air time this year but pace-wise he seems to be up there with Bottas.

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

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.

Let's hope. At least to make the coming seasons more competitive. I'm really glad that the Top 5, bar RB, teams are pretty much within 0.5s of each other.

> 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.

2024-04-11 09:30:56

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.
