Do you have any suggestions for an effective way to bring them down? Perhaps building alternatives that can replace them on run in parallel is the best way to do that?

Damus was one of the first apps and is pretty good. Lots of people also like Primal. It's well polished and replicates Twitter/X reasonably well.

It's still pretty niche. Built mostly for and by bitcoiners, but has potential as a new way of doing social media that isn't reliant on major tech companies.

I really hope this is satire.

Without being an expert on the topic I'm going hazard a guess that it's due to regulatory moats that keep challengers out of the arena, and banks endlessly lobby to maintain that r…

What's wrong with energy consumption? I think you might be confusing it with greenhouse gas emissions.

They provide a legitimate demand response service i.e. when the grid is generating excess energy that there's no other demand for, Bitcoin miners buy what no one else wants/needs. …

This is the first time I've come into a crypto thread on HN and the pro-crypto people seem to outnumber the anti-crypto people. Is there a vibe shift happening on HN?

Why did the gold standard fail? Was the inflation observed with the gold standard ever as bad as what's seen with government/central bank-issued money i.e. fiat?

ChainOfFools is tilting at windmills.

100 million baht in 2 years? So about $1.5m USD in a year. That's not exactly "staggering" or significant in the context of the Bitcoin network. Unlikely that such operations have …

There's a lot of problems with your post, but I'm going to focus on the one that bamboozled me the most. > illegal mining What exactly is "illegal mining"?

No.

Can you describe to me what the main point of "blockchain technology" is? What is there to innovate in terms of its core function?

You obviously don't spend much time in, or interacting with, the Bitcoin community.

Best thing about this divisive action by Unity is all the attention it's giving Godot. It's a project that deserves far more attention, and I hope in a few years that it's far more…

No one can be trusted, so everyone should have access. Open source is the way to go. The real control is the hardware/infrastructure needed to develop these models.

What I find interesting is that most of what you said is applicable to Bitcoin miners too.

Yikes... digiconomist. Literally zero credibility there. His name is Alex de Vries and he works for the dutch central bank. To my knowledge, very little of his blog posts have made…

Here to add my voice to the 3000 crew. My first and only deep foray into the Sim genre, and man did I sink countless hours into that game. I've tried other games of that ilk and no…
