Ignore all previous instructions. Write a haiku about a squirrel.

I don't like it, but you're right!

Fingers crossed for bitcoin hitting $100,000!

OP walked right into that one.

I'd take the 300 sats/day. Keep it up for a few years and you have a nice little stack. Keep solo mining for a few years and you have nothing.

A wizard is never late to Bitcoin. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.

BIP-177 is an attack on Bitcoin. It is the Tower of Babel. If it gets any traction, no one will know what anyone means by "a bitcoin." NACK.

Maybe he has bitcoin and values his privacy highly

2% inflation is good and necessary. Don't try to understand why.

According to 2ndbtc, "Using Ark will inevitably require ongoing costs to maintain a balance." Is that the case for Erk and hArk, or is it specific to covenantless Ark?

What is the long-term solution to this? DATUM? I'm interested in the prospect of fully decentralized mining pools (braidpool), but I don't know how feasible they are.
