The first cup to fill is Jesus's cup. It will overflow plenty for everyone else from there.

Palantir didn't need an illegals crisis to do drag net Minneapolis.
Palantir, phone providers and ad metadata aggregators have been able to do this for years. It's just a broader net now that every is opt'd in.
Doing time, place and distance analysis on devices is nothing new. If I know three places you frequent, I can build out a pattern of life for you and identify common devices. So if I know there are specific shops, daycares, aid stations, mosques, etc that are supporting those that are targeted, it becomes very easy to identify devices and then trivial to detect the location of those devices
In the dark times in which we are living, we need hope and rest now more than ever. Good people are persecuted while the wicked get rewarded. There is injustice and insanity everywhere. And yet peace is pumping in Jesus. There is a God candle of hope, and joy is going to the moon. May you be filled with peace, hope, and joy in the Holy Spirit. Get yoked to Jesus and find rest for your soul.

CC: @DETERMINISTIC OPTIMISM 🌞 and other airgapped enthusiastsJesus gave a hard sermon, and many lettuce hands walked away from him. He turned to his closest disciples and asked if they would abandon him, too. Like a true diamond hand, Peter responded, “And go where? Only you have the words of eternal life.” Peter knew who Jesus was, and that is why he could HODL through it all. There is only Jesus. There is no second best.

Startup idea. Golf simulator. Could probably start with 0.25BTC right now. Then build satsflow over time.
Opencode is nice.
Gave this to the AI and found one I liked. It 's sort of how ehash works for issuance. Probably trained from some gmax post back in the day.

2.1 “Two-target shares”: accept frequent shares but pay by difficulty
*Idea*: allow miners to submit shares that meet an easier admission target, but credit them proportional to actual achieved difficulty (or capped/normalized).
This is how many pools conceptually treat shares already (“difficulty of share”), but Stratum message semantics still steer implementers toward “share count” thinking.
Extension: ShareDifficultyValue field + accounting rule
New behavior: For each submitted share, pool computes the share’s actual difficulty `D_share` (from hash) and credits work units `WU = min(D_share, D_accounting_cap)`.
- Admission target `T_admit` controls how many shares you must validate.
- Accounting cap `D_accounting_cap` prevents a single lucky share from dominating variance if the pool wants.
- Miner’s claimed nominal_hash_rate can influence only `T_admit` (UX), but payout weight is bounded by WU not share count.
Why it helps: Lying to get easier `T_admit` increases share volume but does not increase payout, so it becomes a pure DoS attempt—now addressable with rate limits and pricing (below).
Protocol hook: pools already know T_admit and can compute D_share. You need an explicit statement in the spec that accounting MUST NOT be share-count based when T_admit is miner-influenced.
Message format (conceptual):
- No new downstream fields required if accounting uses computed `D_share`.
- Add an upstream capability bit: `supports_difficulty_weighted_accounting`.
Trade-off: requires pools to standardize accounting semantics; some legacy payout schemes may need adaptation (but PPS/PPLNS can still use work units).
