it’s interesting that it’s a big topic on Tw*tter but no one is mentioning it on Nostr. Not a lot of miners on here, I guess…?

I share in this sadness. People are still stuck in the old world counting their pieces of fiat paper.
Meanwhile in the new world being able to use Bitcoin privately is becoming harder—and worse still, it is not because of technological limitations but because the US government has taken to the warpath to make Bitcoin privacy illegal.

Freeze some for smoothies. When it’s out of season I always wish I had frozen more. I prefer to freeze them individually placed on a baking sheet and once frozen you can combine in a freezer bag (avoids clumping)

Surely some sats will go to whoever solves this mystery:
I just started reading this book on #innovation , How to Innovate by Aristotle (and other Greek authors, curated by Armand D’Angour). Great book so far, but what really surprised me was the “Praise” on the back cover, by a “Satoshi Nakamoto, cryptocurrency innovator”.
…the book was published in 2021…
…so either Satoshi is friends with the publisher and decided to come out of retirement to endorse this book, or the publisher (Princeton) is quite full of sh*t. #satoshi #nakamoto #bookstr
Here is the book website that has the same “praise” quoting Satoshi:

I’m just making an observation I’ve seen in my community. How long has it been legal where you live? Marijuana became officially legal in Oregon in 2015 (not 2010 like I stated above) and I’ve seen a downwards spiral since. I’m glad if it is not that bad in your community. We’ve received boatloads of tax revenue from pot but I don’t know where the money is going because I see society degrading.
I know people that “only” use marijuana and have no interest in harder stuff. Although some of these same people now express an interest in mushrooms (and not for medical reasons). So while pot is not universally a gateway drug it seems like it happens. Personally I also drink alcohol in moderation and I’m aware of that being hypocritical as alcohol is of course legal and has many harmful societal effects. I understand the argument that marijuana might be “not as bad” as alcohol. If everything was legal you could probably have people making the argument that alcohol is a “gateway drug” as well. It is natural to go for harder and harder stuff in the addiction cycle.
I’m usually a libertarian on these issues so I struggle with my own beliefs. I’m ok being transparent on that. The government should generally not be making judgments on peoples choices. On the other hand I’m witnessing firsthand the destruction of society. Perhaps if family structure was stronger people would look after family members more and keep loved ones out of trouble.

Marijuana has become a major part of our economy. That’s an obvious connection. And then it kicked off a wave of legalization for all other drugs. I’m not a fan of jailing drug users but it is clear (to me at least) that decriminalization is connected to many of our societal and economic problems today. Do you live in a place where this has happened? It is hard to witness and not see the connection.

It is important to recognize, I think, the many flavors of social media and how they can all carry negative aspects to our psyche. Is #Nostr immune, perhaps an anti social social media…? I think not, although most people don’t “humble brag” on here, and many people spread encouragement eg to “touch grass”. I’m the end it is important to have contacts in the “real world”. At least with Nostr there is less of a feeling of being controlled by the algorithm.

2010 Oregon: legalize marijuana!
2020 Oregon: well that didn’t go as planned. Dispensaries become major part of local economy. Fentanyl and drugs crisis abound. Population leaves. City becomes a toxic dump.
2023 Oregon: legalize mushrooms!
(Dates are approx., going off memory)
Sigh… I used to be in the “legalize it” camp. I consider myself mostly-libertarian. But then I saw drugs destroy #Portland. I recognize the pharmaceutical difference between pot and “hard” drugs, and I support individual choice. But how can one say something is “good” when you’ve witnessed it’s destructive powers on a society. I go down Sandy Blvd and it is nothing but burnt out RVs and decay. The only prosperous businesses are head shops.

Fascinating. I’ve heard this idea before or a similar hypothetical state called cascadia. Although it would be even more challenging politically, I would think it more appropriate to push upwards into Washington—just an example, but: dissolve (my beloved) Oregon along the cascade range, give Portland and the coast to WA where they are closely aligned with Seattle, and add Eastern OR + Eastern WA to Idaho. Importantly, there is a strong geographical boundary as well as political boundaries. (I guess a more politically appropriate way of stating this is to dissolve BOTH OR and WA and create a new state with Portland and Seattle and the coast, and then either create a new state for Eastern OR+WA or combine them with ID).
TL;DR State govts are supposed to reflect the populous, and it is clear that the Democrat party controls both OR and WA to the detriment of conservative leaning rural areas.

It’s very interesting to read and re-read this material. And I’m currently on a civil war kick, reading several novels on the topic (fav so far is hymns of the republic by SC Gwynne). I’m 1849 when Thoreau wrote Civil Disobedience, the union was tearing itself apart. The Democratic Party was fractured between North and South primarily on the issue of slavery, westward expansion was in full swing as we ravaged Indian lands and captured lands from Mexico. Thoreau mentions both topics in this paper and was clearly thinking deep about the atrocities his government was commiting and his role as a citizen of it. Was he “complicit” by taking no action to stop these sins? He could be read as an “activist” and is ready to go to jail for his beliefs, which is quite laudable, yet he also seems to be one of those people who just wants the government to leave him alone. I can relate to that mix of feelings.

“If the injustice is part of the necessary friction of the machine of government, let it go, let it go: perchance it will wear smooth,—certainly the machine will wear out. If the injustice has a spring, or a pulley, or a rope, or a crank, exclusively for itself, then perhaps you may consider whether the remedy will not be worse than the evil; but if it is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law. Let your life be a counter friction to stop the machine. What I have to do is to see, at any rate, that I do not lend myself to the wrong which I condemn.” —Thoreau https://www.gutenberg.org/files/71/71-h/71-h.htm

#asknostr I was having a great discussion with a friend and the conversation turned to #Bitcoin …
I was excitedly explaining mining and the technical basics of mining pools. I also mentioned the ties of mining to energy and how people are coming up with novel methods of mining such as using trapped methane to turn wasted energy into an asset. We are both engineers so I thought he would be interested. Without getting angry with me, he stated, “well I think it should be banned. It provides no societal benefit at all and uses so much energy.” I kindly explained that if you compare it to the traditional banking sector, it actually is modest in its energy use. Our financial system uses vast computing power. He didn’t seem to understand my point.
I didn’t want to start an argument and I had somewhere to be so we said our goodbyes. So #Nostr #plebs, what are a few points I should have said to better defend Bitcoin? I’m not going to force my “religion” on him but I feel like if it clicked for him it would be pretty awesome. #grownostr

Lol, he is a pretty incredible dude. There are a few really great engineers hacking away at diy mining and you can find all of them on that discord. I mainly just lurk and I did buy a bitaxe from developeralgo. It is mostly skots baby though.

What was your main take away from the article? I agree with @npub1az9…m8y8 I think #TSMC is simply stalling. There is already a huge presence of fab workers in AZ at Intel. In fact that was my initial assumption is that they chose the location so they could poach their workforce from Intel (and be in a tax/business friendly state with relatively cheap land, so it’s better than Oregon or CA where other major Intel sites are).
I also don’t agree at all RE the Gen Z stereotype. I know tons of extremely hard working people that are in those types of jobs. Now, there is definitely a potential problem with what TSMC wants to pay those employees, which gets to the heart of the issue. You can build chips in the US, but it is SO much more expensive. If TSMC doesn’t back out, put a 50% premium on the chips they produce. And there may in fact be sufficient demand, especially given the Apple 5nm scenario.

I discovered the fountain app a couple weeks ago and it is now my daily podcast player. It’s awesome!
Currently listening to Mises Institute where they have full length books! (Side Note i found a Big where the track is listed at “1min” even when it is 8 hours long) #note1sjk…6k74

Miners should not support any “projects” with their hash power. They should support the network. THE (singular) NETWORK. That’s all they need to do. Hash. Over and over. They can do so on whatever pool they want.

I know nothing about drivechain but if what you say is true, then “BOO” to that! Keep #Bitcoin free of dirty politics.

It is probably legacy. What’s interesting to me is that we (US) at least have a 1:2 voltage ratio to Europe/Asia. So transformers can easily convert between the two systems 120-240 V or vice versa. It could be worse if the ratio was something uneven.

I really appreciate the guidance! We should all support each other doing what we can to improve privacy.
Although I’m an engineer I do seek a mobile solution that “just works” w/o me spending lots of time in a CLI. But I will investigate. If I didn’t have the Tesla it might be easier to go “all-in.”
Meanwhile I’m waiting for my iPhone X to die—it may be awhile so I at least went through a “cleanse” yesterday and deleted a ton of #crapps (that’s “crap apps”😆), deleted a bunch of saved passwords, etc. it just feels good to lower my attack surface as well as removing dependency on big tech. #privacy #mobile
