This is my version of "horseshoe theory" Anything left right above or below is considered extremist by society. Opinions in the centre are considered centrist The horseshoe itself is allowable political discourse that won't face censorship. The horseshoe moves around the political spectrum in different places and different times in history. Placement is made to reflect the current political policies and discourse in the West.

If you wanna explain Bitcoin to a normie, I just had a random thought about an oversimplified explanation. The node runners are public libraries run by volunteers. The miners are like publishers who print the books. Each library has an identical set of books, the books are just a history of financial transactions. Mining a block is when a publisher gets paid for printing the next book and how all the publishers and libraries agree on what gets printed and stored. Does this explanation make enough sense to be helpful to people? #asknostr

You've heard of the cat distribution system, where a random kitten will just appear on your doorstep. But have you heard of the goose distribution system? View quoted note →

So the files was released, but all the documents have been totally blacked out... Does the guy on polymarket that bet 80k the files wouldn't be released win the bet considering the files are totally redacted? Or not? I hope he got paid out because the "released" files are a joke

Here's your chance to start playing. This video hasn't been tagged yet. I'm leaving this one for someone else. I don't understand why this isn't more popular, it's kinda fun. I'm not in it for the 5sats or whatever it is I win each week, I just want to be number one on the leaderboard. But I need a difficulty increase there aren't enough people playing.

I have a #BIP idea, hear me out. Spammers pay the node runners for hosting. Wanna upload monkey pictures? Every node runner gets one sat per whatever amount of data people agree on. Is this idea stupid? Does anyone wanna share that "i just learnt about Bitcoin and I'm here to fix it" meme? #asknostr It's just a random idea, tear it to bits, explain why it wouldn't work. #core30 #knots #Bitcoin Instead of making node runners pay to be volunteer data hosters, My proposal is pay them for it. The people doing the most important job are volunteering. Node runners invest their own time and money into hardware and maintaining an internet connection. And I know this is a hard fork or whatever, but Bitcoin has been through that, the node runners can decide which chain to continue maintaining. Maybe a hard fork is what Bitcoin actually needs? What if there's a longer term forking cycle nobody has noticed before because we're only repeating the cycle now for the second time?

I feel like this wouldn't be that difficult to make. If the people building the robots stopped trying to make the robots humanoid and put function first instead. like just make a large romba with some mechanical arms so it can load and unload washing and turn the washing machine on and off, if you had a dryer it could do that too. Maybe the arms could have an attachment with something for wiping down surfaces. Why isn't this a thing already. View quoted note →
