WTF
Humans fall in love with robots. At a 2016 conference focused on love and sexuality with robots, some experts felt that marriage between humans and robots could be legalized starting in 2050. "If a robot looks like it loves you, and you feel like it loves you, then you will basically feel like it's almost human love," said Adrian Cheok, professor of computer science at City University London and director of the Mixed Reality Lab in Singapore, among others.
Marriage between robots and humans could become possible: "This may seem outrageous because it's only 35 years away. But 35 years ago, people thought homosexual marriage was outrageous," Cheok said. The professor further explained, "In the '70s, some states didn't allow white and black people to marry each other. Society is evolving and changing very quickly."

We know that the financial system cannot survive a day longer. We know the masses cannot assimilate more than one big narrative at the same time. We also know that the architects of “our democracy” are feverishly working against a 2030 timeline. With that in mind, here is a sequence of events (psy0ps) to look out for:
2023 – War: Used to justify financial system collapse (and to trim down the populations of Caucasian and Slavic straight males who care about family, country, and religion — you won’t see that in mainstream news, of course).
2023 to 2025 – Reset: World wars are caused for — and culminate to — financial resets. The upcoming financial reset involves shutting down small commercial banks and introducing central bank digital currencies.
2025 to 2027 – Climate: Artificial geo-engineered climate events create the pretext for authorities to start flexing their CBDC muscle and start limiting meat consumption and curtailing “carbon-intensive” activities like travel. Towards that, 15 minute prison cities and carbon credits are enforced.
2028 to 2030 – P4ndemic 2.0: All the previous steps were a preparation for the ultimate knock-out punch. That’s when humans are contained in rooms, pods, and isolation facilities. And that’s when virtual reality and brain chips naturally gain mainstream adoption.
2030 – Humanity has crossed the Rubicon. Time stops.
“No way this could ever happen,” I hear you say. “Surely the world will fight back.”
Who will fight back exactly? Gen Z? Don’t make me laugh. To get an idea, a third of gen Z are in favor of government-installed cameras inside their household.
Any wonder our overlords have pushed microplastics, feminism, and LGBTQ+ down our throats for generations? They don’t want to be opposed by testosterone-fueled men. They’d rather have spineless marijuana-smoking, pronoun-peddling, iPhone-grasping simps who are begging to be governed.
So, no, don’t expect any outside help. Instead, help yourself.
Location: Uneducated, undeveloped, non-English speaking populations cannot be placed under lockdowns that easily. Same applies to old people — you cannot expect the elderly to operate smartphones and scan QR codes. If you can, move to those places. In any jurisdiction, big cities are glorified traps. So, disperse and decentralize; even if it costs more; even if it’s harder; even if it’s boring.
Finances: If you’re stationary, look into gold. If you’re on the move, consider Bitcoin. Neither are perfect. Gold can be confiscated and Bitcoin can be compromised. Despite their shortcomings, those are the only viable stores of wealth at this point.
Community: Trust is the new oil. Build strong connections based on trust. Serve your fellow humans as much as you can. Share what you know. Give without expecting anything in return.
Technology: We are rapidly approaching the point where consumer technology becomes a liability. Disentangle yourself as much as you can from your smartphone. Compartmentalize and decommission your devices. Learn how to live in the real world, away from fake convenience and illusion.

Theoretically yes, but practically no.
If there is an average of one draw every 10 minutes, I would need to be able to submit at least 1 ticket (= 1 share with difficulty 1) every 10 minutes. If I fill out a lottery ticket but don't submit it in time, my ticket will not be considered in the draw.
With the NerdMiner, it takes an average of 60 hours to generate 1 share that meets the required minimum difficulty of 1 and is actually submitted to the solo pool. All hashes smaller than difficulty 1 are not transmitted and are essentially nonexistent because no one takes notice of them.
The technical explanation is as follows:
By default, ckpool has a pool difficulty of 10,000. For example, with cgminer, it is possible to lower the minimum difficulty to 1 using the parameter --suggest-diff 1. This means a share must meet the minimum difficulty of 1 for it to be accepted by the solo pool. Anything smaller than difficulty 1 is ignored. That's why there is no statistics for the NerdMiner because hardly anything gets through.
In terms of numbers, this means that for every GH per minute, 14 shares with difficulty 1 are generated. Therefore, for every GH in 10 minutes, 140 shares with difficulty 1 are generated:
1,000,000,000 H/s ÷ 2^32 x 60s x 10min = 140 shares with difficulty 1
In other words, I would need at least 71 MH/s or 3,550 NerdMiners in order to transmit 1 share with difficulty 1 to the solo pool every 10 minutes and for the pool to take note of the submitted hashrate:
1,000,000,000 H/s ÷ 140 = 7,142,857 H/s = 71 MH/s
71 MH/s ÷ 20 KH/s ≈ 3,550 NerdMiners

Hello #Nostr,
I am PurpleHash, 29 years old, and I have been immersed in #Bitcoin for 2 years. Professionally, I have nothing to do with technology or code, so some things are difficult for me to understand. However, I enjoy diving into new topics 🫡.
Now I have also caught the Nostr fever and I'm trying to move away from #Twitter. I have added my Lightning address, entered some relays, followed Plebs, and verified Nip-05. Do you have any more tips for getting started on Nostr?
Currently, I am using Damus because I have an iPhone, but soon I will be getting the Google Pixel 7, and I'll be using #GrapheneOS... it's amazing how Bitcoin affects everything 👀.
