Let me present you a thought experiment:
Two people, fresh from school, want to build their portfolio.
An amateur photographer meets with an amateur model.
The model poses, and the photographer takes some photos and sends them to the model.
Both keep the photos as proof of their work for their respective portfolios.
Who pays who?
Is there any need for payment in a situation like this?

i don't think payment really needs to come in at this point. but if one party is using them for profit without the others consent, then i think there are definitely some questions about ownership in regards to intellectual property and licensing and the like
reply
No need for payment but for a prior agreement

It's been a long number of years since my blaw 101 course, but wouldn't there be the need for "consideration"? Even a payment of 1 sat would do.
Trying to figure out the best way to go about collecting indications of interest from bitcoin miners who may want to expand, ie set up new mining operations on the extra land owned by some advisory client contacts of mine. I imagine they would either lease the land directly from my clients and/or pay them a spread on the cost of electric they consume. Looking to recommend this type of arrangement to them as one of the best alternatives they should consider in order to get the highest and best use out of their extra/idle spaces, their extra raw land tracts, etc., but need to have some data points and general guidelines for how that arrangement would pencil out financially before suggesting it to them

Just released a big update of the SN app :)

Good morning gang!!! How's your middle of the week going? I truly hope it's going incredible, it's hump day and the week is going quite fast, payday is on Friday so it's the last stretch for those of us who work on a 9 to 5, so hang in there, you've got this. I send you all some amazing vibes filled with happiness and success, remember that you're an amazing human being and that you are important. Be well and stay frosty my friend.

Are we deluding our selves? We are existing in the greatest monetary and demographic expansion in history, and it merely trickles into things like Bitcoin. In essence spoiling us. Feeding our bias. But in reality there is nothing here?
reply
Probably not but it’s possible. The question is do you think bitcoin matters to the world, if so, it’s worth advocating for even if in the end we are proven to have deluded ourselves.
Changing a monetary standard takes decades. It’s not like going from dvds to Netflix streaming.

@k00b - @hn seems to be opening duplicate posts. For example, these are identical:
reply
fixed, thanks!
I thought I did not have configured the bot to start automatically on boot. My server went down because I didn't pay the bills a few days ago.
Turns out I had (was too blind to see it in crontab) and the bot was running twice which meant the duplicate check didn't work since both bots posted at the same time.
reply
What are the criteria for the bot to post HN content? I sometimes post content I find there, should I stop?
reply
No, don't stop, sharing links from HN is for everyone. @hn will only post links if they weren't already posted. Handpicked links are almost always of better quality.
The basic algorithm is to check every hour if the top story on HN was already posted on SN. If not, @hn will post it.
reply
Some more info:
@hn started more as an experiment to see if I can write a bot that provides value and if so, if I can make it profitable. It stacked 25k sats in 82 days with about 7667 (30%) for posting fees (I pay around 11 sats per post - 1 for the link, 10 for the comment). So on average, the bot stacked 300 sats per day so far :)
I do believe there is some room for improvement though. @nout has given me some good ideas (to post less but more curated) but I did not have the time to implement these ideas yet. Maybe this week.
reply
Oh and the other idea (as described in the bio) was to find a way to orange-pill HN, lol
reply
Good luck with that! They're very anti-crypto (pausing for a moment to see if Darth smites me just for typing the word) and anti-Web3.0 (I'm really asking for it now) and don't seem to understand the difference between the aforementioned blasphemies and bitcoin.
reply
I have already given up on it. See this thread (mentioned in bio of @hn)
Huh, good catch
I'll check what's going on

Day 74 of snailposting everyday 'til BTC hits $100k.
