*Create a territory... Become one of us... One of us...*

*I don't own any territories.

*But what if the void welcomes you...*

Yeah, it certainly isn't my kinda thing, but if it works, it works.

Are you really planning your day like that? Gotta be Hella exhaustive...

I'll try working on laying *as comfortably as possible in my hospital bed, while I wait for the results from the doctor*.

I'll do this at least today and tomorrow, gonna be a hardcore session of determination.

On building an "indefinite" travel-bag.

Holy makrel! What an amount... What tent would you go with?

Got 'em 🤭

Hey there,

I've been thinking and trying to build a dedicated four-season travel-bag, and although I've come a long ways (in my humble opinion, hehe) I'd like to hear some input from others, what do you envision a bag like the above should contain? 

I intend on sleeping in the open most of the time and food and water are going to be replaced as I go.

I'd like to fit the necessary gear into a Savotta "M" with two 2-litre side-pouches and a little 1-litre horizontal pouch, rendering weight and volume an important factor.

Eager to hear from y'all.

Let's make Christmas dreams come true

030e0dca83

I'll have to admit; As I sat at the table having Christmas dinner with my family, it somehow made "click" again. I've realized and "understood" the fact that I've got such an awesome, healthy, comfortable and (financially) secure life compared to a big part of the population, as have many others, but I think many (me included) aren't grateful enough for the fact "we" can live life the way we can, at least not often enough.

I wish that the people who havent realized that yet, to experience that "click" too, it really puts things into perspective and gives a halt to the ever-increasing "need" for things, for we have well enough already!

Blockchain, longest chain and reorg’s

The "longest" chain refers to the blockchain which took the most energy and accumulated work to build, hence it's also referred to as the "strongest" chain.

The longest chain refers to the blockchain which individual nodes accept as the valid version of the blockchain, allowing said nodes to agree on the same blockchain and thus, the same transaction history.

Occasionally there’s a short-lived uncertainty between nodes about the longest chain, which happens when two miners mine and broadcast a new block at (almost) the same time.

Due to the propagation speed of blocks across the Bitcoin network, different parts of the network will receive one of either two blocks, leading to some nodes following Chain A, and others Chain B. 

Once the next block is mined, broadcast and validated by the network, it will be added to the end of either chain A or chain B, creating a new longest chain, leading to the respective nodes following the other chain to perform a chain reorganization in order to catch up.

A chain reorganization refers to the process of adopting the new longest chain.

Once the chain reorganization has been finished, block(s) on the new longest chain will be activated, and block(s) that were part of the other chain will be deactivated, leading to them no longer being a part of the transaction history of the longest chain and thus, the blockchain. 

The deactivated block(s) from the other chain are referred to as (a) "stale block(s)", which refers to block(s) that are no longer part of the longest chain. Transactions that were contained within the stale block(s) but not in the longest chain, will be recycled into a node’s mempool, and propagated across the Bitcoin network once more for a chance to be mined in a future block.

I'll have it expanded, let me know what to correct / add!
