Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.
Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!
We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!
Has anyone else noticed the notifications page taking longer to load than normal? I wonder if maybe some new DB index is needed? Just speculating, I haven’t looked at the code base in a very long time.
cc @k00b @sox @Scoresby
how long? it’s been normal for me, so it might be a setting or something I don’t have
few seconds maybe? I’ll try to measure and report back. Long enough that I watch the yellow loading bar stick for a bit up top
something is certainly amiss then. i’ll check it out
edit: I suspect mutes because I have none. all my other settings are enabled and I have many subscriptions.
Good idea. I sometimes (not always) see a delay on notifications refresh too. I also have a bunch of mutes.
I do have mutes as well.
Looks like territory subscriptions is the most likely culprit given the way the
GINindex works. All the territories I'm subscribed to are pretty inactive.Regardless, we are pretty under-optimized here. I'll try to push an update soon.
Thank you! don’t break your back over it, I’ll live in the meantime

Loot of the day:
Why am I not allowed to set my desired balance to 21M BTC?
you can't even set it to 21 million sats
technically the supply is only 20,999,999.9769 BTC
Fair point, and it’s not even that high yet.
Still, I don’t appreciate @k00b clipping my wings.
I think I'm averaging about one bot a day into the mute list over the last few weeks
Don't worry, the retards are still retarding
Which one. I see infinite realities
Hi 👋 Excuse my ignorance, how many sets does it cost to own a territory here in S.N.?
Damn! I thought it was cheaper. Goodbye to my dream of owning a territory 💣
You never know. I assumed it would be beyond my reach, too, and now I've got 1.65 territories.
pro tip: eat the watermelon rind as close to the crust as possible, that's where most of the L-citrulline abounds;

but it's the least sweetest part. 🤔
the above comment was a grammatically incorrect sentence... of course i can still decipher what was intended;
anyways, as parasitosis & dementia rage on, the number of mistakes a man or a woman makes will become even more noticeable - the silver lining is that it'll also be a way to tell man or machine 😂; i don't really like lapses in attention myself, constant 100℅ focus is tiresome - tho that's where the fun is at, in constant awareness, vigilance, and surveillance, so as to not miss any magic;
eating the sweeter watery flesh will feed the parasites and make u urinate more; if u know what to do with the precious urine (water the plants or drink it) and how to deal with the parasites, then it's not a big issue;
with the issue of rampant worldwide parasitosis it has become very important to not waste nutrients & effort; juicing is also useful in order to flush out the toxins as well as replace the deuterium-depleted water (2x proteum atoms, 1x oxygen atom); however, the flushing also gets rid of some trace minerals... which then need to be replenished;
i simply don't like seeing waste; i can usually correlate how infested a person is by how much they leave on their plate;
https://extralightwater.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Nutritional-Deuterium-Depletion-and-Health-A-Scoping-Review.pdf
plenty of research out there on lowering deuterium content in the body and the benefits; if u live on a natural wholesome diet on a farm and suddenly have to travel into a city... good luck finding deuterium-depleted water in drinks & eats - just store & drink ur own urine and you'll maintain a lower deuterium content in the flesh while being bombarded with carconigenic EMF's and other toxins; the commerically available low-deuterium water is pretty expensive; i think making tea or some other brew in the sun is another way to deplete deuterium, tho idk the effectiveness - most water people drink is quite poisonous;
what it looks like when a community tries to use Bitcoin to come to agreement on state, but the chain doesn't have enough proof of work to defend itself:
what are we looking at here?
Testnet4 chainsplits.
Luke said they would pick their new bip110 proof of work algo by the last character of the next testnet4 block.
This was to ensure everyone had a supposedly fair chance at getting ready to mine the new coin when that begins (sep1)
However, there was no clear next block, instead there were three different blocks all mined at the same time.
Testnet difficulty is much lower than mainchain. So then there was mass confusion about which chaintip was "real" and therefore what the new algo would be.
Then Luke tried again, but by this point testnet4 had split into several equal length chain tips and there was no clear way to choose which was the real tip (other than waiting till one chaintip pulled decisively ahead).
Whatever the case, this is probably not a good way to go about it:
I guess they are trying again?
“did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?”
The king of bitcoin has spoken? @Scoresby
I wouldn't be surprised at all if BIP54 gets activated in the next year or two. It's probably the thing most people agree on. Unfortunately, it is also a thing that doesn't do a whole lot...
put a dollar on it.
Let's not pass around crowns.
let's not acknowledge the unlikely activation of a BIP without the approval of one man?
approvalisn't the point here, I think. The sentiment relayed is not just representative for only the one man or only the pool founded by that man. It represents a wider point of view carried by more than just the messenger.Cope
best. argument. ever.

Today I'm starting this initiative of asking Stackers about various topics, offering a reward of 20 sats to anyone who participates and 1000 sats to the best answer to the question I ask that day. As the weeks go by, I'll improve the participation reward and the prize.

I think they're going with BLAKE2b-256, but honestly they have a somewhat convoluted process here...
it seems that they were waiting for a new block on testnet4 and then they were going to use the block header from that as an oracle of sorts. unfortunately, there seems to be a fork on testnet4 right now...

so it could be sha3x?
perhaps there is another commonality...
lmfao you beat me my 5 seconds
i guess we are getting a small glimpse of what it might be like to change the PoW algo...(although i'm not confident they went about it in a very thoughtful manner).
lol imagine the (BIP-110) chain splits again
lol. I don't think so.
https://twiiit.com/LukeDashjr/status/2087180796188594387
What I like about this is that it means I might be able to sell my bipcoins one day
the way this is going...i wouldn't count on it
Mhh, the way I'm thinking about this: BIP-110's hash rate is somewhere between BSV and BCH, and both have exchange rates, so I see a chance. Or rather, I don't see why exchanges wouldn't want to support it; it's just another shitcoin to them, no?[1] I think they want you to trade, regardless of what it is.
It would also mean I need to care about replay protection, though.
Replace "exchanges" with "miners" and "support" with "signal", and I sound exactly like the forkers haha ↩

This the new fake L2 fascination? Fake Chain 2?
stacker news deleted items over time.
I think it has to do with that bet from last year about whether SN would reach X number of publications.

Indeed...it was about the bet...
I assume this is related: unpaid items increment the ID but can't be found
Was I the only one who didn’t get daily rewards?
cc@k00b @sox @ScoresbyDaily rewards didn't show up at work today, sorry about that. k00b will fix once he's online 🙂↕️
in the last few days, i've noticed that daily rewards haven't been triggering consistently at a fixed time like they used to
It isn’t every day that I think of myself as a great teacher, but I surpassed my expectations today.
I was trying my hardest to get various students to internalise the idiot-proof, all-purpose oral template I had ingeniously designed for them. This was the culmination of all my years of experience. Step 1: Action. Step 2: Feelings. Step 3: A variety of benefits. Step 4: An important benefit. Step 5: Personally, I have/have not experienced this before. Step 6: fun and interesting.
After rehashing my Survival Oral template, I then launched into a rapid-fire recollection of my fabulous running incident from my P5 days. Even used words like “scrawny” and “flabbergasted” and “stamina” for good measure, even though I suspect my sophisticated vocabulary was lost on deaf ears. 😭
Anyway, I did well today to accommodate my best and my weakest. I’ll leave the rest to divine intervention.
