nah I know what an ASIC is lol, I am curious about the CPU power centralization to huge mining farms that use a lot of ASICs. we like to speak about decentralization yet this is somehow okay?

idk if mentioning monero is allowed but they have a nice way of preventing monopoly of huge mining farms.

I'm new to the math of bitcoin but can someone explain how ASIC Miners creating a monopoly on mining is "decentralization" exactly?

i'm new to btc conferences, any you'd like to recommend?

I will not take a failed terrorist state seriously, nice writeup tho. I heard they're also opening a BTC reserve as well.

yeah I dont get the worshiping satoshi part, imagine making a decentralized currency just to be worshiped liked some cult leader lol

I don't know how to feel about it tbh. Lack of the cypherpunk ethos, it's all so corporate-y and it all seemed so fake and forced. We had cows dancing on there and this woman I watched yesterday she blinked so many times it was so artificial and screamed grifter. no good vibes for me personally.

I have a tablet for this with obsidian and concepts, writing really solves half the problem. Whiteboards are cool too.

ah lol, thanks for posting. weird it didn't show up when I made the post

havent looked it up, I'll check it out and lyk

thanks, glad you liked the idea :D

10km with direct line of sight in ideal conditions 3-5kms in urban/forest environments.

You can create a mesh network and increase the whole area coverage by adding more darkwire nodes

yep, just one node (darkwire) needs to be connected to the internet, each darkwire node has a range of 10km with direct LoS. and 3-5kms in realistic conditions (cities or forests).

it's a wip progress but the base project works and you can watch the youtube video to see it working. I plan on adding nostr support to it as well.

yep, that is it. it isn't made for the everyday bitcoiner but for people living in censorship prone areas

right so you're not shifting the blockchain completely to radio. You're simply relaying the transaction from node (not a BTC node, a darkwire node) in a mesh network. So you're just sending the transaction hex to be pushed to the blockchain by an exit node (a darkwire node connected to the internet).

This isn't made for the average bitcoiner, but rather for people living in areas where the government simply kills the electricity or the internet (censorship prone areas say like Rafah or Tibet).
