When you use Tor hidden services:
- Tor is slow
- Your ISP knows you are using Tor
- Mempool.space does not know your IP address
- Mempool.space knows what was searched and when it was searched and that it was searched from their Tor hidden service
When you use mempool's open source explorer from your own node:
- Very fast on LAN + easy to setup your own Tor Hidden service
- Your ISP (probably) knows you run a Bitcion node
- You are invisible to Mempool.space completely
100% of territories are broke (waste of money -- a donation to k00b)
Until ~tech or ~DIY become profitable, what chance does a niche within those topics have? Just post about 3d printing to these territories.
Help them stop losing money first.
Hustle dreams of 3d printed bikes, and shoes, vinyl records and record players, firearms and silverware
Inferior products and micro plastics swimming in your food.
This is not what 3d printing is for.
The benefits of 3d printing are for making unique models that can ONLY be manufactured using additive manufacturing.
Or for making low-volume, highly customized models that don't make sense to mass produce.
Mass production is always the goal. 3d printed prototypes can help a product find a market before spending the money to manufacture in bulk.

The difference between selling and stealing is convincing the person to give you the money instead of taking it yourself. That's it.
I feel pretty convinced to give money when I'm staring down the barrel of a firearm.
Many were convinced to give money to Celcius and FTX, but that turned out to be a fraud/theft.
As long as the other person "feels good" about paying for something, it is a legal sale.
Plenty of legal sales end in 1-star reviews with no refund and angry customers. Sales is just another form of theft.
I just don't think its so black and white. Society seems to demonize and criminalize some forms of theft and ignore/glorify other forms.
Those who can consistently and blatantly steal and get away with it are often the most powerful entities in society.
I like this scene
Everyone steals. Even when both parties think they've gained something from a transaction, one side objectively got the better deal and the other side settled for less. They allowed someone to take more than they could have.
Be a thief. But don't get caught. That's the contract with society. If they don't get caught, they've earned it.
The greatest companies are those that can steal the most from their customers and get away with it.
In all encounters, don't be the one who settles, be the one who steals. Don't let those who steal from you get away with it.
Hardest part is data cleaning. What source/API do you use to scrape for "news" ?
Do these sources have limits or require subscriptions?
How do you know an article is about a particular country/region?
Maybe the article doesn't mention any country by name, instead uses other tangential references like "Putin, Federal Reserve, etc."
You can just search Google News for "bitcoin [country name]"
Much of the "cutting edge" features of these newer models won't even work once you flash graphene. Stuff like google's AI camera features, etc.
Turns out, older phones have improved performance and battery life when you remove all the bloat and "phone-home" anti-features.
Just get one in the $200-400 range. Use the remaining $600 from your phone budget to buy a server/nas to begin self-hosting your cloud data too.
The Telegram founder will sell you an NFT that you can use to sign up for telegram without a phone number
don't require a consensus change
This is why I'm bullish. eCash is actually happening right now.
Let's hurry up and build (or rule out) every non-consensus solution. Then, after building them all, let's also consider changing consensus.
We can try all solutions at once
Agree its possible. But there are tremendous advantages to having focus. Time is scarce and so are the number of people with skills, resources and desire to build.
Builders are free to try a dozen things that are centralized and learn one-by-one (the hard and long way) why Bitcoin has to remove central issuers and custodians to continue to operate outside state control.
Still waiting for everyone to run their own website and email server.
But most people/families/orgs/businesses are satisfied with their Facebook page and use one of the handful of email providers that can actually get mail delivered without going straight to the spam folder.
Only the medium-large actors have a website. And by virtue of being large, their website must comply with all applicable regulations.
But I'm sure hosting something as high-stakes as people's savings will be easier /s
But I agree, this is probably the most bullish/realistic take so far.
Maybe the mints/tokens become abstracted away from end users.
Just like how your Tor browser selects a handful of relays to route with, maybe a fedimint enabled wallet will auto-select a handful of mints to distribute user balances.
Instead of earning "yield" like a traditional savings account, you pay a "tax" whenever one of the mints that held some of your balance rugs or is shutdown.
It makes it easy to get people started with small amounts of Bitcoin that they can immediately use to purchase things.
This is only true if mints do not require KYC. Once mints are forced to act like the other custodians, they will also require KYC.
...the privacy benefits are a nice bonus as well
Yes, its great! I just wonder who is going to actually operate these (fedi) mints in practice.
Each mint has its own eCash token that is only redeemable at that particular mint. So for a mint's token to be useful in commerce, it needs to be very popular. (Or a market need to develop that makes it easy to exchange tokens for more sailable ones).
A very popular centralized privacy service is a prime target to be forcefully shutdown. Especially if the service is collecting substantial fee revenues.
