Was just thinking about solo mining,
Shouldn't all plebs be solo mining with something like a bitaxe? Millions of plebs with 4TH seems like a nice force to be reckoned with.
And you know we're early, when so few (even among the plebs) are attempting to live on a bitcoin standard. Would be cool to see more products focused on getting the user off the fiat standard.

I mean, people do play the lottery. At least this one is fair and has no state involvement.

One empty block more, F2Pool up 6.25 BTC

Why Empty Blocks

When a new block is found, mining pools send miners a block template with no transactions so they can start searching for the next block as soon as possible. They send a block template full of transactions right afterward, but a full block template is a bigger data transfer and takes slightly longer to reach miners.
In this intervening time, which is usually no more than 1-2 seconds, miners sometimes get lucky and find a new block using the empty block template.

I’m rather proud of myself too. I’m the sort who avoids confrontation because it’s my tendency to clam up whenever I feel riled up. But today, I went up to my wife (who was scowling in the kitchen) and asked, “Are you angry with me?” That one question opened the floodgates for us to resolve things. I’m really glad that I took the first step - makes the arduous task of parenting somewhat more bearable
reply
Been there. I hope the unmarried among us can appreciate the magnitude of what you did.
reply
how about parenting& marriage life territory 🫡 not sure what's a better name for that.
reply
not sure what's a better name for that.
I'm not either. I'll have to mull it over. Maybe it could just be a general life advice territory.
reply
I would like to learn what to avoid for sure, and what's better than learning from the experienced ones. 🫡
reply
I like to avoid conflicts too, waste of time and hurt the mind.
Normally, I would just stay quiet for a while, then come to the person to talk - NEVER argue with anyone or make any decisions when you are angry.
reply
Usually when I’m in an angry state of mind, I will down a can of beer and go sleep asap. I believe that there’s nothing a good sleep can’t cure
reply
I don't really get angry often now, but when I do, I turn off everything to be on my own to think. 😂

Lesson from today : sending out two posts in a row can be quite "tiring" and "stressful," especially with the 10 mins edit window. 🥸

Howdy partners!! Little Friday aka Thursday is here and the weekend is just around the corner, time to step it up and show this week who's boss, been quite the month to be honest and a good one indeed, with the ups and downs but overall, fantastic. I wish you a day full of success but as people say don't half ass things, just give it your best and if the outcome whether is good or bad you still gave it your best, that is how things need to be done, not halfway but all the way, you can do it. I believe in you and know that you're important and awesome. We've got this my friend. Have a phenomenal day!!! Be well and stay frosty!!

Has anyone been using the clips feature on Fountain?
Are there good people to follow on there? (I don't mean podcasts, I have plenty of those)
I've been meaning to start using the social features on Fountain, but so far I haven't been sufficiently motivated.
reply
I use Fountain just for listening podcasts.. As you, I have also no motivation (to be honest...I'm lazy) to make clips
reply
I made one a while ago, just to try it out. It was sort of a pain, but supposedly they've improved it with the big update. To be honest...I'm pretty lazy too.

I did once for a Darknet Diaries episode

Do something that scares you everyday.

I raised my voice at my wife yesterday because I was angry with her. Today I could have pretended that nothing had happened, but I decided to man up and have a fierce conversation with her and explain why I was angry. She got to tell me how she was angry with me too. In the end, I said sorry to her and we patched things up. Definitely a scary thing and I’m glad I did it!

stackers, time to bring your wives and gfs here. 😂

Maybe when they add a Tik Tok clone section.

I have tried. No luck.

even knowing that you can really stack sats and fun here? that's strange, then what the wives ( I mean stacker's wife in general ) usually like to do? 🤔
reply
My wife listens to podcasts mostly when she's online. She does not suffer from screen addiction to the same degree as me. My daughter isn't interested either.
