:( thanks for reminding me

Supra - $1.04/mo for me at $.08/kWh

Oh I meant it in a positive way! Odds are still low. It’s actually quite fun to have one of these running. Less than the cost of a 60w lightbulb.

Better odds than the lottery

This kind of insight is why you get paid the big bucks!

If only there was some global, highly secure, location agnostic way to reference time. Some sort of … time chain.

Privacy doesn’t have to be on L1.

FYI your comments are outlawed now, probably because others noticed you weren’t engaging in good faith discussion (reeee covid reee vaccines boosters reee).

I can’t read them without extra effort I’m not willing to expend but you are free to scream into the void.

Covid lockdowns worked because they (those with power) convinced a good part of the population they were either A: going to die B: going to kill someone else (especially relatives)

Bitcoin has no such boogeymen. Banning Bitcoin in “free” countries would be a masks off moment with devastating consequences for existing power structures.

If the police can’t enforce property rights for the average person with the powers they already have (which includes killing people) what are they really for?

Then I would suggest NOT going the CPFP route. The size of the tx coming from Relai would also make any accelerator service very expensive.

What is the fee paid by the tx in sats/vbyte?

Depends on the size of the Relai tx as well - if it's like 1/2 inputs and 1 output, would be covered by around 14000 sats at this moment.

If the tx from Relai includes a lot of inputs and outputs, it will obviously get more expensive.

Send them some BTC (to their storage address) that’s enough for them to use both the incoming tx from Relai and the tx you send in a new transaction to themselves, with a fee high enough to get the (I assume) low fee Relai transaction confirmed.

In 1998 I created a South Park fan site on Geocities. Wrote the HTML in notepad. Included dancing babies in the footer along with the contemporaneous “Under Construction” notice…

How far we have come!

Opening your site gave me a full screen scam advertisement impersonating Amazon

glad to see you back darth

I think they were making puns

Link to an article: BETAVOLTAIC BATTERY RATED TO PROVIDE POWER FOR 50 YEARS

While the batteries in the picture and article are low power/long life batteries, it's only a matter of time before the Wh/kg of battery tech reaches a point these drone swarms become feasible.

On the bright side there's money to be made developing personal low-range EMPs or similar for defence, but that's another can of worms.

I don't mean to. Some sats for your worries.

I think its unfortunate this isn't getting more attention. Nuclear tech has barriers to entry that make it "easy" to gatekeep.

These things are gonna be built with 8+ year old cellphone parts and will cost $2 each on Aliexpress.

fuck

fully autonomous drone swarms.

the risk is incalculable and the potential threat to human civilization is greater than even nuclear weapons in my opinion. also… its almost here. we are one battery power breakthrough away.
