What is the smallest memory commitment a valid UTXO can have in a bitcoin block? Bits or bytes. Like the absolute limit to remain valid. Proof would be good too if possible. #asknostr

GM, Quantum Theory is just a “fractionally reserved” (fiat) model of physics. Therefore Quantum Computing is really just Keynesian Computing on “fractionally reserved” (superposed) quantum states, where the same unit is assumed to exist in multiple “states” at once, just like fiat assumes a single deposit can back countless claims. Lol, decoherence is the feature, not the bug.

Yo heatpunks, what is the best bitcoin miner to heat a 150sqft room with poor insulation (lots of windows)? I’ll have a wood stove in the room nearby, but I need extra heat subsidy. I’d assume I’d be running it Oct-May. #asknostr

More Proof of Woodshed. Ran out of crushed stone 🙄 and got rained out before I could cut and construct the frame.

Just dropped the foundation on a 3-chord woodshed.

GM, Bitcoin is a ledger of Kelvin appended to discrete blocks of information bounded by the finite supply known as “Planck Temperature”.

The Yang–Mills mass gap problem is obvious once you abandon the inherited assumption of a smooth, continuous substrate and instead observe reality the way Bitcoin forces us to: as a finite ledger of discrete excitations, each one the irreversible result of an entropy-to-information transition. The Planck Ledger. In that framework, “fields” behave identically to UTXO topologies. Not infinitely divisible continua, but countable, energetically certified events whose identities persist only because they are conserved. From that vantage point, the absence of zero mass and zero Kelvin in empirical physics is not surprising, it is inevitable. Both are artifacts of continuous mathematics, states that require an unbounded smooth manifold with infinite resolution. But in a thermodynamic universe defined by irreversible transitions, such limit states cannot exist because the act of measurement itself demands nonzero energy expenditure. Bitcoin makes this explicit: you cannot perform a measurement without dissipating heat, and you cannot crystallize information without a finite energy cost. You cannot compute time without a transformation equivalence between Boltzmann Entropy and Shannon Entropy. A universe built on finite resolution cannot host absolute zeros. This points to a deeper issue: modern physics has never clearly defined what it means for something to exist. It oscillates between probabilistic amplitudes and continuous fields, but never resolves the ontological question of what constitutes a physically real state. Bitcoin does. It defines existence as a discrete, conserved transformation an entropy collapse recorded as verifiable memory; satoshis in a discrete point on the elliptic curve at discrete blocks of time. Under such a framework, the “mass gap” is not a puzzle; it is a consequence of discreteness. You cannot have massless, perfectly smooth field excitations in a system where every real event must cost finite energy. The problem is not the gap. The problem is the model. #Bitcoin

It’s all UTXOs, all the way down to the smallest “particle”.
