Top Friday fun fact
A defibrillator doesn’t actually 'start' a heartbeat but stops it. It is used during CPR when the heart beats irregularly. It’s basically the 'have you tried turning it off and on again' analogy in medicine.

Nice try, fed.

It's really a good option. I accidently had random selected and saw a really good post that I thought was new. I zapped it and then realized it was old.

Anything that threatens all of humanity. Best example is nukes but the genie is out of the bottle there.

Something that has been hypothesized is bring very large asteroids into earths orbit so we can more easily mine it, this could be super dangerous, if we get one calculation wrong, we get dinosaurs 2.0

It seems to me they

[aren't mining transactions with larger OP_RETURN outputs][1]

, likely because they are running Bitcoin Knots. That's a weird way to say "Hello World" as a pool which has a big "Bitcoin is no longer censorship-resistant, and mining centralisation endangers its security too. It's time to fix that.". IMHO just use the default Bitcoin Core template...*.

[1]: https://twitter.com/0xB10C/status/1730507062986072486

*. they're obviously free to mine what ever they want, but all the "block template transparency" blabla could have, from the start, included that they diverge from the (current) default mempool policy.

Signaling self-awareness like that seems like a good strategy, given how so many prominently loud voices are so deficient in it.

This is really cool. I didn't know you could buy "blank" NCF cards to program. This is now on my do to list!

reply

Neutrality is good. Service suppliers shouldn't get to dictate how the service is used.

It would be as absurd as the postal service deciding what you can or can't write in a letter. Or black listing certain people from even being able to send or receive mail.

Example Breakdown of Zaps

100 sat zaps before: 90 sats to receiver (10% sybil fee) + 5 sats (50% territory revenue) + 5 sats (50% rewards)

100 sat zaps now: 70 sats to receiver (30% sybil fee) + 21 sats (70% territory revenue) + 9 sats (30% rewards)

Great question! According to GlassNode's HODL Waves chart we're at ~15% of the current supply dormant for more than 10 years. My own belief is that approx 20% of the current supply has already been lost (inclusive of the 15% dormant today for more than 10 years), so I'll conjecture that 20-25% of the supply in 10 years will have been dormant for more than a decade.
