leveled out at around six hours per working day in Britain and seven in the US.

I missed that memo. 🤔

There's a camp that sees unrestricted data on chain as existential, a slow poison that prices out node operators and turns the world's money into the world's hard drive.

Node operators should be prepared to store max-sized blocks every 10 minutes or run pruned nodes.

Spam sucks and so does BIP-110.

Strangely though, how Satoshi obtained this address from Bohm initially is still a mystery, as it does not appear in the sequence of emails available, before the transfer. Perhaps some of these emails still remain private, or there's a mechanism here unaccounted for, maybe related to the irc room where initial node connections were coordinated.

It's possible that Satoshi saw Bohms public IP address in a join-message on IRC or that he could figure it out from the few nodes on the network + Geo IP. Early versions of the software had "Pay to IP address" functionality (the sending node would ask the receiving node for a bitcoin address). Not sure which span of versions it existed though.

Bitcoin was at 38K USD 5 years ago, good choice of time-span. 😁

Iran mines Bitcoin at $1,320 per coin. Sells it at $68,000. A 50x profit margin using state subsidized electricity. 700,000 mining rigs. $7.8 billion crypto shadow economy. All run by the IRGC.

...

Last time the US hit Iran, Bitcoin’s hashrate dropped 15% overnight.

Where is the downzap category? I only see LIT/NEW/TOP.

My understanding is that full belief must be expressed in our actions, embodied. AFAIK less than 10-0 people are true believers of Jesus and neither of us is one of them.

Phenomenal writing.

Probably better for them jewels to not be stuck in boxers though? 😁

It seems to me that Bull Bitcoin are much more pure than Swan, only allowing self-custody.

Thanks, but when I get around to resurrecting my node I'll probably return to Core Lightning.

My node had a hardware failure and Phoenix Wallet has been too good.

@k00b & co, could we please get a bow-icon or something for 24h for zapping from external wallets?

I zap often, but haven't linked a spending wallet directly to SN. Zapping with Phoenix Wallet.

Govern us harder with your democracy you fruit of the managerial elite. It's not what you know, it's who you know, right? /s

Checked your bible citations, commentary has it that the "Ye" in "Ye are gods" is talking about judges/kings/leaders in OT, and Jesus in the NT citation quotes it to rebuke pharisees criticizing him for saying he is one with the Father, so it does not help.

Guess your rebuttal is that such commentary is part of the hooking process. I'm sympathetic to your angle.

And don't be put off by the @DarthCoin demon just yet. There is no saving him and he's annoying as fuck, but he has his virtues.
