very same factories that produce consumer goods with a profit incentive today, can do the same for the benefit of the people tomorrow.

Yes. Until everyone ends up in poverty, because over time, nobody knows what to make and how much. The longer the supply chain the stronger the effect will be.

But there's nobody to prepare the fries. The economy has transformed entirely to eating the rich...

The proof is in the pudding... we need more heroes like that.

govt owning shares, honestly. That way the public would get a voice

How would a public get a voice? The government would have a voice.

Given the statistically significant results of fecal transplants... have we tried shoving the yoghurt into the the other end?

40 years ago civic planners decided pollen was easier to deal with than seed drop.

Well, screw those people! In both nostrils!

Holy shit. By "artificial intelligence skills" they mean talking to a chatbot.

Lemmy is the ultimate embodiment of a free market.

Certain tools inspire certain behaviors. In other words, all you have is a hammer... Ironically, that's also a reason commercial platforms resist implementing negative votes.

Changing the tool to better suite it's purpose is an option, but decentralized networks are inherently resistant to such changes. With the backlog of bugs and missing features this ecosystem has, the developers would not be amused if somebody came up with a new tagging or filtering system.

800 research papers in 25 years is ~2,5 papers per month.

How did people who figure stuff out for a living not notice anything suspicious?

Sounds like a Babylon 5 character. I vote for Lemmier!

 

zkSNACKs, the developer of Wasabi wallet, has shut down its coinjoin coordinator since June. The news is not surprising, considering that it has already been unavailable for the US customers since May.

Since the wallet itself is non-custodial (you hold the keys), and it's using block filters to update your balance directly from the bitcoin network, the wallet functionality is intact. However, if you want to coinjoin, you have to find another public coordinator.

A list of currently active coordinators is available on wabisator.com, or wasabist.io

Coordinators do not require any privileged access to private information, so it should be safe to use any 3rd party coordinator with enough real active users. At no point are your funds at risk of being stolen.

However, a dedicated attacker running a public coordinator could still pull a de-anonymization attack by mixing your coins solely with their own outputs.

Ever since the interview with Lukas Seyfrid (CZ), the chief of the hardware team, it was clear that Braiins is pivoting from the development of mining software, to building their own hardware.

This, I believe, is the first iteration of their effort in form of a consumer product, and while it is unlikely to make you a financial return on the investment, it's small form factor and nice anodized aluminum case can allow pretty much anyone to become familiar with the process of bitcoin mining. Or terrorize the testnet. The choice is yours.

I think I might buy one, just to try the viability of a pure solar setup.

HW specifications:

Price (pre-order) $199.00
Hashrate ~1Th/s
Power Consumption 40W - 55W
Number of hashboards 1
Number of ASIC chips 4
Cooling Type Active
Noise 40 dB
Air outlet temperature 40-50 °C

But really, how much would it make in a year?

If we assume the current price and difficulty stays the same, the block subsidy is 3.125 BTC, median fees around 0.2212 BTC, free electricity, you'd get 0.001 BTC per 12 months, which is roughly 65 USD. A little more than 3 years to break even.

It's not going to break any records, but I'm still excited for what's to come next.

 

It's a successor to the model T, with the new design inspired by the Safe 3, announced earlier this year.

They promise nice, easy to use UI, color display, haptic feedback, gorilla glass. Several color variations are available, including the bitcoin-only orange option.

 

"Prosecutors are alleging Samourai Wallet laundered over $100 million in criminal proceeds."

 

"Recent regulatory action against Consensys and Samourai has instilled fear among other crypto service providers operating in the United States."

  • Wasabi is the main competitor to Samourai's whirpool mixing service. The only one flying under the radar currently is Joinmarket.
  • Phoenix is the Lightning network wallet where users keep custody of their funds, but the channel management is outsourced to the company. The only remaining self custodial lightning wallet that remains is Breez.

While this news is deeply troubling, it might push further development to more sustainable trustless self-custodial solutions in the long term.

 

"Veni Sancte Spiritus", sometimes called the Golden Sequence, is a sequence prescribed in the Roman Liturgy for the Masses of Pentecost and/or its octave, exclusive of the following Sunday.[1] It is usually attributed to either the thirteenth-century Pope Innocent III or to the Archbishop of Canterbury
