I was on the fence about going to a blockchain conference, but I wanted to start somewhere. I thought I might be out of my depth because while i'm deep in the space, i'm a new comer to ordinals and the new innovations to BTC, but something told me to give it a shot. I showed up with an open mind, without and expectation of what I wanted the results to be. Honestly, it turned out to be so much better than I could’ve imagined. - Chatted with @raphjaph who was nice enough to take the time to direct me to learning spots like docs.ordinals.com and the discord.gg/ordinals Ordicord (discord). - Got a crash course on mining from #Bitaxe and dove into parasite pools and they were nice enough to give away miners! Chip and the guys were awesome and Chips wife was nice enough to pass on to me what what she's learned in a relatable way. - Learned about odin.fun from @BobBodily for trading runes in a way that clicks for me. - Explored AI Studio, Claude, Replit, and tips to make AI a sharper tool with @KingBootoshi To @rodarmor and @realizingerin of @hellmoneypod —I missed their talks, but their work got me through the door in the first place! Check out these amazing folks if you’re curious, and go chase what sparks you. Trust me, you won’t regret it!

Had a great time At inscribing Vegas, an unexpected thing I learned was about BTC parasite Pools. For a little guy like me this seems great! What are you thoughts? Parasite Pool is a Bitcoin mining pool designed to decentralize the mining process by supporting smaller, individual miners, often referred to as "pleb" miners. Unlike traditional mining pools, which distribute block rewards proportionally based on each miner’s computational power, Parasite Pool uses a unique payout structure: the miner who finds a block receives 1 BTC, while the remaining reward (currently 2.125 BTC plus transaction fees) is shared among all active pool participants via Lightning payments, a fast and low-cost Bitcoin transaction method. This hybrid approach blends lottery-style mining—offering a big reward to the block finder—with pooled mining, ensuring all contributors benefit. With zero fees and instant payouts, Parasite Pool aims to make mining more accessible and equitable, challenging the control of large, centralized mining operations. Currently in beta, it is already operational and attracting participants [1][2][3]. **Citations:** 1. "Parasite Pool: Igniting the Mining Insurrection," zkshark.substack.com. 2.

Reading ten pages of a non fiction book a day has been great. Easy to accomplish, relaxing and I’ve gotten ton of useful info front the books i decided to read. Try it sometime!!

Besides clients like Primal, are their other types of clients that utilize nostr tech? I.e a Reddit, Instagram, telegram. I’ve been trying to find a community to chat easily about the newest Nostr advances

I wonder how far we would need to get into a Bitcoin centric world (mostly meaning assets are finite and distributed through the masses) before war is the absolute no other choice last resort. I say this because sometimes it’s unavoidable, but how often has one man, one small group of people forced violence and destruction for something they want that does not benefit the masses. I really believe most people are good at there core, and it’s the people that worm their way into power that weaponize populations. so when the will of the many have decision making power the might not make the best decision but they will make a moral one. What do you think? Am I crazy?

I love the idea of Zaps, at the end of the day you need to back engagement with something substantial. Giving a like on X is like giving a drop of water from the ocean. Endless, easy to get and a little salty. Zapping is like giving a breath. You only have so many, you can get more but you do have to work for them. We appreciate breathing so we take the time to consider the consequences of actions involving them I am not Nostradamus but just a guy testing new tech

Where can you identify social relays that align with your goals? (Working on getting the training wheels off bear with me)
