I tend to chirp when Ocean goes on a hot streak, so I need to be even handed and mention that they haven't hit a block since January 30. I think this is the longest drought I have seen since I joined the pool.

I was for a moment worried that there would be stales, but no. The good news is that at 10EH, the "TIDES" window in which your shares count is like 4 days or so, so at least you've not lost work, yet. You need a block within a day or so though or some shares may go unpaid (which is shitty if you had a luck streak with those shares)

luck streak

is this a technical thing or just a figure of speech?

I know I can just ask AI, but I prefer to zap Opti for an answer :-)

It's a technical thing. Even though difficulty has a statistical distribution, the actual brute-forcing of hashes has a luck factor. This is what causes variation in block time

Let's see another exercise... for stackers

Epstein files were released long before you were born... maybe your mother remember it.

let's see who really understand this meme

0 sats \ 1 reply \ @plebpoet 2h

that looks like an image to me, what about it is memed

reply

In the 50-60s there are many campaigns about how good is DDT. This is serious, please research it. And they start fumigating the streets with DDT, that is highly toxic and affect the brain.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDT

My meme explanation: if your mother was a young lady in those times and she was fumigated with DDT, then there are high chances that you, nowadays, will not be able to think critically about all its happening, your brain was damaged before you even were born.

And this wasn't a joke, it was a plan organized by the same state people nowadays are praising...

This is the only explanation why so many people now are fighting each others because what was "released" in Epstein files. Literally they lost their mind into a manipulation.

That image is real, please reverse google it.

Another aspect that many people still do not get it and was a warning in public by Yuri Bezmenov:

I literally saw someone post that Epstein shared an article with someone and this person is trying to discredit the author of the article because Epstein shared it.

Far too many Stackers and Bitcoiners have lost the plot. They are getting obsessed with conspiracy theories that don't matter. Why don't they matter? Because they should and do already know the state is evil and politicians are lizard reptilians that should never be trusted.

Did Israel kill Kirk or was it a Woke nut case? Was it Turning Point USA? Does this change anything for anyone? Nothing is changing except people are being distracted and turned against one another. Forgetting who the real enemy is. It isn't your brother-in-law that doesn't like Trump. Or your sister-in-law who loves Trump. Its the state and its boot. Its the banksters and their wars that never end. Its the fiat money printer that creates a world of debt slavery.

The ICE agents are foot soldiers. The protesters are pawns being sacrificed to win an election. The masses are being abused and manipulated every day. Bitcoiners should know better but apparently they aren't much better.

We are seeing the classic divide and concur strategy in real time.

If anyone thinks a politician that claims to represent you has more in common with you than the guy down the street... you've been duped. The last thing these leeches want is the plebs getting along with each other.

The influencer class also seems to be incapable of rational thought. They are simply obsessed with clicks and when they don't get them from content about things that they are completely opposed to they switch over to shooting their allies. Its absurd to watch this. The right is quickly killing each other rhetorically for no reason other than to keep the plebs from uniting on common ground.

People arguing about who killed Epstein. Who killed Charlie Kirk. Was Trump's assassination staged or real. What does it change if you are correct? If you are correct and I believe you it changes nothing for me. I already know what I know and all of these things change nothing. They are however great distractions. Take the red pill. But once you have... you don't need to keep taking them. Focus on what you can do to insulate yourself from the organized crime families called political parties, governments, and political dynasties. Maybe position yourself accordingly. Become more resilient to the civil war we are in the middle of. You are not gonna convince the masses that whatever conspiracy is true. Even when the masses are shown the truth what changes? Not much. Look at Epstein. Look at Snowden. Look at the Panama Papers. Look at Covid. Did your neighbor change anything in their lives? Did you?

SO.. this comment thread I'm in is also a distraction... So this is it. The end.

It very well could be the point. I still say no one will pay for what was done. I don't believe politicians.

Just watched a video of a local politician speak...

I was struck by how fake he sounds. He's not even talking about anything divisive. The fakeness is just dripping off of him. And people believe in these clowns.

Also, Peak Mining, another large miner account on Ocean, seems to have been offline for 3 days, but is back now (edit: correction, about half of their hashpower was offline, they have multiple accounts)

reply

Fascinating. Looking at Peak's chart makes me wonder what could cause their hundreds of petahash to drop to zero. I would think that if they were doing demand response curtailment, they might taper down, not drop off completely.

A question for stackers.
SN falls under:

  1. free speech
  2. freedom of speech
reply
100 sats \ 0 replies \ @BlokchainB 1h

Pay to post

100 sats \ 0 replies \ @Lux 2h

its freedom to speak

man has freedom
person has rights

the freedom gets taken by giving us rights trough a person

reply

speech has become a way for the ancient parasite to propagate itself thru utterances by mouth of hosts; theoretically, complete elimination of the parasite wud also eliminate the urge to verbally discharge the parasite spores, especially thru enunciation of consonants; consider the idea "freedom from speech;"

#1425488

communication in general is limitless, encompassing text, signage, speech, dance, and even telepathy;

SN is a technological tool - maintaining flexibility among various communication methods & platforms preserves the ability to resist total control by the parasite hivemind;

ultimately, the open-source permissionless systems shud be used for verification & reliability of message transmission;

reply

Neither

How I would typically interpret those statements,

Free Speech = Something you "do"; an action you perform directly or via technology

Freedom of Speech = A "right" or "law"; something your society permits you to do without enforcing property seizure / violence / etc.

So I'd say SN is option #1, it's a technology I use to post regardless of if it's "legal" (#2) in my jurisdiction or not.

reply
21 sats \ 9 replies \ @DarthCoin 4h

you are close...
free speech = you are allowed to speak, is a permission that is free, not paid, gratis.
freedom of speech = is a right that nobody can take it from you, maybe only forcibly

In this particular case SN fall for almost none of them because YOU PAY TO SPEAK and you fall for their T&C. You signed a contract.

reply
100 sats \ 2 replies \ @kepford 2h

I'd say since I don't control the server I have only to trust the man who does to honor the T&C. No one can take away my freedom to speak but myself by keeping my mouth shut.

I have said for decades that if people want to say something unpopular they should get their own site and publish it. Don't beg the state to use force to make someone publish your ideas.

Many times I talked people out of having comments on their blogs...

I would warn them of the hassle they would deal with. Some listened. Others had to learn their lessons the hard way.

My response to them was always. If people want to respond to your press release or blog post... let them get their own web site and link back to yours.

There are laws and rights and there is power and control. These days people seem to live in a lala land where they have forgotten about power and control. They have forgotten they traded their liberty for a little peace and security.

it's a very simple question. Is not about what SN could do. Is about how do you see it: 1 or 2

reply

You can tell from my answer it's neither of them!

reply

that means you do not know the difference between 1 and 2. You have much to learn. You are not ready.

I don't get how you're seeing it like that. To me, 'freedom' is more about gov laws, like, it's a legal thing.

the term is better understood as Quantum-of-Parasites -ology: the study of the effects of parasites on the population, whether it's men or any other living species; the more numerous & more widely distributed the parasites - the worse off the population; infestation on the microscopic scale mirrors the species' behaviors and the greater macroscopic population dynamics;
