🤣turns out our internet issues at PlebLab was a chewed up line by a squirrel

Ethereum is committing one of the economic ideas that typically backfires. In this case, the issue is that most people dont run an Ethereum node and its a threat to the decentralization of the network. So what they have manged to do is force anyone who stakes to run a ethereum node. What could go wrong? Maybe less people will stake. Maybe they will only stake via 3rd parties which also increases centralization.

And if we want to get really pessimestic, ISPs may be looking at how to reduce bandwidth on their network, to save money. And the ISPs may discover that Ethereum, and the homestakers specifically, are consuming an enormous amount of bandwidth. And then the ISPs will update their terms and prohibit any crypto/blockchain related node activity. I hope it doesn't come to that. But that honestly seems to be the outcome with the way Ethereum is acting. Their sharding solution, which is coming in a few years, which is just a fancy blocksize increase, will increase bandwidth consumption further.

Today I managed to get my eraly game prototype (mentioned yesterday) up and running on RaspberryPi and made it available via IP. In the next days I will try to link the raspi IP via DynDNS.

@k00b what do you think is the main obstacle for content creators to use this as their primary comment platform?

It seems beneficial for them to both receive sats but also it helps them crowdsource weighting comments and suggestions.

Anyone else upvotes threads based on their title, so before reading the article? I am not sure if this is good behavior. Opinions?

Getting started on writing the newsletter. Then Pleb Lab has a workshop on the Bitcoin whitepaper led by an SN user (that I don't want to doxx in case it's a compartmentalized nym).

Then I'm probably going to a framing store to get two reproductions I have re-matted. I recently found a lithograph of Jose Manuel Capuletti's Not Guilty that I'm super excited about and I have a shuttle launch photo I found at a thrift store that has yellowed matting.

I'll give the first to reply double the amount of sats this comment receives.

2000 sats max (so I would spend 1000 max)

Not a scam, haha

I want to run a lightning node soon (thinkpad t420). What is the minimum channel size I should go for? I am thinking about allocating 0.1 BTC but that will be spread out across n channels so they would have about 0.1/n BTC only. Do you think this will be accepted by other nodes and help the network?

I am not looking for a profit, but I also don't want to lose 0.1 BTC due to closing fees etc.

Tonight Chimp98 and I will do another week of experimenting with a livestream podcast, and we may even get LIT tonight. I'll make a post as soon as I know for sure because I'd love for people to send me sats to read their messages over the live internet. Also, tomorrow I will host another Bitcoin Brunch in Miami at Naomi's Garden from 10am-3pm. I invite you all!

Hi, plebs!

Curious if you use apps like Carrot, sMiles and play mobile games through ZBD to earn some sats?

Laws need to be reset. We need to return to a state where the initiation of violence and theft are the only things that are illegal so that we can be free and prosperous again. And by the way, taxation is theft.
