If you had, say, 10 BTC in your bag, would you sell one this bull run to secure funds for four years of freedom from working for money?
1 BTC = four years of freedom? How high do you think we're going this cycle? 😂
If bitcoin 10x's from here, 1 dollar will equal 235 sats. I'm thinking global adoption and the fiat death spiral, will put corn at 50 sats for a dollar by 2033.
I just paid 100k sats for an SN territory, it was worth every utxo.
Which one!?
Nix OS, i've recently just switched from windows. I'm a noob, but its a cool rabbit hole.
Awesome, what do you like about it rather than something like Ubuntu?
Nix is the only distro i've tried, I'm new to linux and thought the declarative and reproducible builds were interesting.
Editing the configuration.nix file to determine what is on the comp is pretty wild, i'm still trying to wrap my head around flakes. Theres some stuff i need to do with home manager and uploading a config to my github peaks my fancy.

Welcomed baby #3 at 823090. Everyone healthy. Can't stop fiat mining though but at least get to WFH. Used the opportunity to apply to a bitcoin role.
Anyone transition into the bitcoin industry lately? Whats the good word?
Great News! Congratulations!
We'll win the battle of ideas through sheer numbers.
Congratulations! Amazing to hear!
I’m also trying to re-transition to Bitcoin, I gave myself some runway last year to do so, but had to pause and mine some fiat.
Did you 1099? I keep pondering that as an option but have never done it.

Prior to 1913, most Americans owned clear, allodial title to property, free and clear of any liens or mortgages until the Federal Reserve Act (1913) "Hypothecated" all property within the federal United States to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, -in which the Trustees (stockholders) held legal title. The U.S. citizen (tenant, franchisee) was registered as a "beneficiary" of the trust via his/her birth certificate. In 1933, the federal United States hypothecated all of the present and future properties, assets and labor of their "subjects," the 14th Amendment U.S. citizen, to the Federal Reserve System. In return, the Federal Reserve System agreed to extend the federal United States corporation all the credit "money substitute" it needed. Like any other debtor, the federal United States government had to assign collateral and security to their creditors as a condition of the loan. Since the federal United States didn’t have any assets, they assigned the private property of their "economic slaves", the U.S. citizens as collateral against the unpayable federal debt. They also pledged the unincorporated federal territories, national parks forests, birth certificates, and nonprofit organizations, as collateral against the federal debt. All has already been transferred as payment to the international bankers.

This is patently false. Property taxes were common in America well before the 20th century. Heck, Abraham Lincoln was a property tax attorney; one case he won was even about a lien on a boat.

Day 1 of zapping content I deem worthy until my wallet is empty and seeing how much sats I get back.
Sats to spend today: 6949
Click here for more information.
(is there a more catchy way to phrase this?)
zap to zero
been trying to zap generously yet haven't had to refill my wallet in a couple of months or so...
During my (especially) toxic phase a few weeks ago, I even zapped people aggressively.
we might have a winner here
I like this. "Zappin' to zero"
hmm, what about...
Ah my mistake, should be "Sats to spend today", I misinterpretted the goal of your experiment.
Would be cool if you could automate by adding a graph that plots zapped vs. time, maybe there's some oscillating pattern that would emerge if charted.
You did but I think this running total is nevertheless a great idea! That would also make more sense since I can't tell in advance how many sats I will spend during a day.
Mhh, I think I'll be able to do this in retrospective, too.
Don't want to overthink this just yet. I just want to show up for now :)
Do you plan to update periodically to show how it's going, as per @pillar and Operation Saylor? That would be badass.
In service of this idea, here's a renewed call to have SN report the amount of sats zapped each day, in the same notification that tells you how many sats you've earned. Would help with this accounting.
How exactly do you mean? For now, I thought I would just post a comment like today which mentions how many sats I have to spend today. I could add a link to the comment of the previous day like @WeAreAllSatoshi does with his mining posts.
But I realized, I also get zapped during the day and I also need to spend these sats. So these wouldn't be included.
Maybe it makes more sense to just show how many sats I spent yesterday. I could also do a running total as mentioned by @orthwyrm here:
Yup, that's the kind of thing that I meant. Updates on how it's evolving. For a bonus, not just the raw numbers, but what you're noticing about the effects it has on you, others, SN at larger, etc.
I see. Like a journal. I think the first effect will be that I will look how much work this would be tomorrow:
We do need to do that, but in the meantime if you can find yourself in top stackers, it should give you an idea of what's up.
You've done pretty well in you shortish stint looking at forever:
1.1m stacked \ 680k spent \ 61 posts \ 1344 comments \ 0 referralsNot gonna lie, I look at the numbers sometimes and feel a glow of accomplishment, esp at the stacked / spent ratio :)
Alright, 3rd highest spender. Suck it @siggy47!
so far
I will always have been the 3rd highest zapper for that 24 hour period. There's nothing you can do about it.
Also, I think I have a bigger lead on you than what you've reported being in your wallet.
Mhh, I see. But do you know how many sats I received since I reported this? If you continue to zap me, there are more sats that I can spend to overtake you!
edit: Oh wait. These sats also count towards your spending score, lol. And I only receive 90% of these sats. Mhh.
edit: And I already need to be more cautious with how I zap since I already zapped like 50% of my wallet in the past few minutes. Need to zap content that will give me more likely sats back.
Have you considered an exponential decay schedule for your zaps? You'll never run out that way, but it'll get you very close to spending down your entire wallet everyday.
I've lost my focus during the holidays.
It's always something, isn't it?
AND I have to save my sats for all those territories I splurged on.
Is it satanthropy? BTCevolence?
Its a form of Brewsters Millions… give it all away to get it back…
(Must not zap this lol…. Fail)
Backzap!
Day 10 of posting mining earnings from the day before: 867 sats!
Running total: 8,246 sats!

Day 11's comment
Mining with a bitaxe??
Yes, and a FutureBit apollo
Seems like a good matchup since the apollo can run stratum. But i take it you're pool mining.
My S9 does alright of late. Screaming hash NGU has been rough though.
Yes, pool mining on Braiins.
Likewise. Enjoying the new share calculation? I was skeptical but don't mind. Such small hash amount and nowhere else to put it.
I like the consistency of the payments. But more importantly, I like the lowered withdrawal limits which seemed to be silently implemented.
It does concern me no longer being PPLNS, since there’s some faith required, but overall I’m a fan of it.
👀
Didn't see the lowered threshold.
Is anyone aware of an email service that has implemented lightning login yet?
I'm playing a new game on SN:
Spend all your sats in a day and then see how many sats you get back. If you don't get any sats back, you're out. The goal is to "stay alive" as many days as possible. So it's basically a survival game.
Maybe I am late to the party.
@ekzyis is procrastinating detected - where are all the promised posts 🧐
btw, I detect the opposite of procrastination from you. Just busy Christmas? I hope you don't miss @DarthCoin and @nemo too much. What would I do if @Natalia also is missing?
Further btw, have you seen the thread with @nemo and @DarthCoin arguing about the stolen 4 BTC?
@DarthCoin seemed to respond very emotionally. Was kind of surprising to see.

Me too, I think I was more projecting regarding "hope you don't miss them too much", lol
haha exactly! I think I will completely overhaul my blog "soon". You were right with delphi, the contrast sucks, haha:
I was too lazy to find the link when I posted my reply. But now I realized it's simply the last post from @DarthCoin, lol
in my head
Enable a survivor mode. Sats trickle into an OSS charity of your choice until they're all gone. Stay alive
I look forward to asking ‘how did you get a freebie post?’ while you wait for the sat tide to roll back in…. Lol
It is hard to give the damn things away sometimes.
I've noticed the same. I wonder if I should run a more principled experiment, like @ekzyis is doing here, and @Undisciplined has done?
The main barrier is the attention that it would require to do at enough scale to matter. But maybe that could be part of the experiment too? Hmm.
Okay, that escalated quickly.
I guess we could give reward sats back to the pool each day and live on daily zaps? Or limit the number of zaps you can make; morning balance divided by 10 say….
Why does scale matter?
Only because me zapping twice a day is likely to disappear into the void as an effect that anyone would notice on SN. In terms of keeping our heads above water, it wouldn't matter.
Hmmm
My experiment is basically on autopilot. The only thing I do is set my default zap in the morning to 1/1000th of the balance in my SN wallet.
Are you generally in the black from this methodology, still? I remember you saying that a couple of times you were making money. Still true?
I'm hovering around 300 right now, but we've had several days in a row of content rewards which don't benefit me as much as zap rewards.
I don't recall exactly when I started and what that balance was (poor experimental design on my part), but I'm pretty sure I made almost all of my current balance over about 6 months.
I'm curious how these rapidly rising posting fees will play into it. If the rewards pool grows dramatically, I should start seeing more growth.
Oh, I forgot about the freebie posts, lol.
I imagined the game rules to be like this:
If you don't have any more sats and you also don't get any more sats next day, you're out.
But using freebie posts makes this a lot easier. This might be easy mode. But people will see that I am a freebie now and thus might not zap me on purpose for extra difficulty. Or have mercy with me :)
I think I can also make a daily streak out of this ...
Cool idea!
It directly conflicts with my project of trying to locate the optimal default zap amount or else I'd join in. I'll be watching with interest.
Good luck!
As part of this you could only use freebie posts (after 24hrs with zero sats) and you have to start it with;
‘I’m just a poor stacker, nobody loves me’
Maybe the first person to reply and zap ‘spare him his life from this monstrosity’ wins a limited edition single sat :D
An inscription w/ @ekzyis's face crossed w/ Freddie Mercury.
Is it worth clogging up the chain with inscriptions like that?…. absolutely! Lol
Markdown really needs collapsable text blocks.
Not just here on SN and Github but I fundamentally use markdown in the exact scenarios where I need to distinguis between short tldrs and long explanations.
Using links to subpages are a solution for this I guess.
I agree, the comments from @unpaywall would greatly benefit from this.

Solar panels gleam,
Fuel from a bright stars touch,
Powers life anew.
I like the idea of mining bitcoin with renewable sources. There's something very satisfying about clean, basically free energy turning into sats.
Even just having the optionality with energy is a big win. Large upfront investment but in a world where stocks are a poor place to park cash, whether you mine or not, it will basically be paying a perpetual tax-free dividend
Agreed. But also beyond Bitcoin, ie in the developing world to remove some of the risks around using other fuels (ie solar charged battery lamps in place of paraffin).
I think I recall that WBD were going to investigate using a stranded solar farm for mining in the same town as their football team.
(Although my conspiracy theory brain has me suspecting that solar farm was put in / earmarked to help remove infrastructure objections for a planning application currently in the works.)
Is the snail still not feeling better? Or should I check if we have hit 100k?
