I understand why one would do solomining with a bitaxe, If a Bitaxe costs about $150, and you can make about 2-3 cents of bitcoin per day. Than it would take about 14 years without difficulty change to make your money back (i.e. will never pay for itself). Vs.. lottery ticket + more decentralization + big pay day + fun.
Am I wrong?

2024-10-09 18:28:36

Crazy to think, if you had 1 bitaxe in it's current form in 2017, you'd of had more hashrate than the entire network at the time.

There is an inspired game being worked on right now "Satoshi Settlers" the hash of the block determines the type of land, the world map is the bitcoin blockchain, get's bigger every time a block is mined. Still a WIP, but also currently live. @npub1wz8…4qjt
Uses Nostr and LN.

It is very concerning how hard it is for people to get travel visa's to come to @npub17yq…5269. It's also concerning how many non Americans I met that don't want to travel to the US even if they could get a travel visa because of safety and security. My eyes have been opened this year on just how bad this is. If this doesn't eventually get better I'm going to have rethink a few things about TABConf.

2024-09-19 16:45:38

We have 141 contributors to bitcoin core in roughly the last 12ish months for github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin going back to v24.1
I just realized I'm denoted as one of them on the 26 release. 😅 Many like me may only have trivial commits, but it's still pretty cool to be associated along some very talented people.
26 contributors are active on 3+ releases in the 12 months. I'm planning an award ceremony at @npub17yq…5269 this year to help bring to light some of the hard work done behind the scenes for Bitcoin and related projects. Starting the tradition this year.

Random nearly useless #Bitcoin Blockchain trivia Part 4.
The first block to fill over 99% of the maximum space, 1 MB, was block: 228,538. (2013-March-29).
It wasn't until, block 363,270 (2015-June-30), over 2 years later, that a perfectly full 1,000,000 byte block was mined.

2024-08-18 20:34:44

Random nearly useless #Bitcoin Blockchain trivia Part 3.
Block 2,513 was the 1st with a timestamp (ts) behind the previous block. Block 2,512’s ts was 10s ahead. This is allowed as ts must be > median of the last 11 blocks and < NetAdjTime + 2 hours.

Random nearly useless #Bitcoin Blockchain trivia Part 2.
Block 2,817 was the first block to contain a fee, 2.01 BTC.

This block contained 0.03 BTC as it's total fee.

John, I developed a game using the Sierra Engine in the early 2000s, a modded version of Empire Earth. It became popular enough for others to host it on their servers. The game featured 3v3 matches, where each player controlled around 150 units. These units would upgrade and respawn as players accumulated more kills. Having someone appreciate your work and your games is one of the best feelings I've ever felt.. still chasing that high now under Satoshi Settlers.
Dalia, will respond soon.

Dalia,
Thank you for creating the Loom video and trying out Satoshi Settlers. Appreciate the suggestions and ideas.
\- I'll experiment with a different color for the top-level UI buttons on the map.
\- An "About" page is long overdue; I'll probably release one soon.
\- I may be able to leverage Nostr for the chatbox, something I'll keep in mind.
\- Regarding the project link, I used the "Link a Project" section. I believe that's why you can see the project icon near my profile picture at the bottom right of the post image, correct?
\- To answer your question about land versus color: Eventually, the land tiles will yield resources based on the hash of the block they represent. The land view should display the type of land and resources you are gathering. Currently, everything is dirt and grass, but this will change in time.

2023-09-16 09:39:28

Unpopular prediction.
Nostr scaling will eventually end up looking like mastodon…. Similar trade-offs already determined suitable for mastodon will likely be seen as no brainers for future ideas for Nostr. Change my mind.
