I was recently reminded by @cryotosensei that I have a bunch of Minds tokens from the Before-Times (how I think of time before Stacker News). I'm planning on spending them all boosting a post about Stacker News. I have enough tokens to reach something like 1,000 people.
What I'd like to hear from my fellow stackers is what your best short pitch for Stacker News is.
If you're not familiar with Minds, it's an alternative social media platform that's dedicated to free speech. I'd say the likely audience is right-of-center politically and really into independence and alternatives to establishment systems.
An ideal Minds post would look a lot like an ideal X post, as they're pretty similarly designed platforms.
The two aspects I'm inclined to focus on are the diversity of content and the high level of engagement, but I want to know what you all find most compelling about SN.
It kind of already is 🤷🏻♀️
Just do the math for yourself. Buy an Asic, pay the electric bill and get the mining reward.
Even if you make the best-faith argument and call it heating cost (which is lying to yourself in lots of cases 🤷🏻♀️) you'll never make the cost of the Asic worth it
Average private person mining is only here for enthusiasts out of principle. But not economic
I think more communities like Plebnet need to be formed. Also, can we work on i2p as a backup in case Tor runs into real problems? The US gov needs Tor to work, but they don't need it to have the reliable uptime Bitcoiners need for running a successful node.
