I figured I'ld sign up, but found I already had signed up.
I suspect that occurred at the time of seeing this (which I probably saw, because I read a lot of bitcoin-related posts):

So while I'm not a paying user (yet), a few marketing touch points have occurred now. I'm going to consider the Pro plan, since there is ChatGPT included.
I could count on one hand the number of times I've been to an Arby's before this year -- either an Arbys wasn't nearby or there were other fast food outlets that I preferred, so I don't remember what their prices used to be. But lately I've found them to be the only remaining affordable fast food option, assuming you are willing to buy the same thing every day (or their loss-leader special, no drink, no fries).
But I used to go days on end where the BK Whopper two for $6 (or was it $5 even??) was my primary daily nourishment. I haven't been inside a BK in over a year or more since I last saw their menu prices.
Nowadays, if I'm splurging (and really hungry), for lunch I find this almost reasonable:
- Chipotle Chicken Burrito, $9 (Plus pay with Cash App debit card and get a 5% discount on the amount charged.)
This title of this post is incorrect.
The ZiG is backed by a basket consisting of foreign currencies and precious metals, one of which is gold.
About the only good this might bring is further discussion about alternatives to pure fiat.
Well I wrote the article about five years ago, but edited it with additions and deletions over the years.
Crypto Words was probably included at the time I first hit the Publish button.
Really old list here, with lots of defunct sources now, but some others that you might not be aware of and might want to add:
Here's a great article on one of these topics ... Monetary Attribute #2: Hardness
The May Scale of Money Hardness and BitCoin

Almost none of the OTC brokers on the list below are KYC free, as most "OTC Desks" today are just normal exchanges, or miners, etc.
If you asking about KYC Free, then essentially find a seller on a KYC free P2P and in the chat negotiate for the larger amount, the seller can create a new offer that is hidden to all except you, with your terms (that you had negotiated).
Lots of scammers out there ... Caveat emptor.
You can see the moment at which there was no further debate as to what to do:
23:45 DBordello What chain is Mt. Gox on 23:45 gavinandresen Eleuthria: if you can cleanly get us back on the 0.7 chain, ACK from here, too 23:45 MagicalTux DBordello: we stopped import before the fork 23:45 Eleuthria alright
Which is further evidence that it is economic nodes and not miners who control Bitcoin. In this case, there was mt. Gox with like 80% (educated guess) of the economic activity of Bitcoin at the time. So a miner (pool) switches to follow the will of the economic nodes (i.e., whichever side Mt. Gox was on), even when that one pool alone had majority hashrate (both sides combined).
Nomics had sunset in 2023.
Here's the latest archive that was saved:

I'll edit the article.
Perhaps Betplay is making it seem like they don't permit anybody from the U.S. to withdraw their winnings, and thus keeping the regulators at bay. Like a poor-man's geofence.

A single cablemodem serves all in that household. A single fiber connection serves all in a company.
A single dish can serve multiple users. So while there may indeed be a billion people some day who communicate using LEO satellite constellations (which includes Starlink), it's very unlikely a billion subscribers -- unless you also include their LTE (Direct to Cell) subscribers.
Another cursor.sh user here (and subscriber to the service, for the 500 fast gpt requests per month).
I had to do power shell scripts for the first time ever and without GPT4 or other AI the learning curve to get what I needed would have been too high to justify the effort.
The final result after hundreds of hours is maybe just 20% of the code today was generated from GPT. But when I was starting on it, nearly 100% of the code was from my prompts, exclusively.
Then for python, for example, my go-to tool, gpt is much less of a timesaver, and fairly often a time waster. At least for composing the code. For getting syntax and such though, I use the chat more than the code editor, and save seconds at a time versus opening a browser tab to Google stuff.
But the tell is ... I was paying out of pocket for the service, before asking to have it paid by my company. And if it was $100 / month rather than $20, I would still have paid it. It is so worth, for me at least.
Was about to correct you ...
then I see the Terms of Service that is currently linked from the website, and it no longer says U.S. is banned!!
