    LLMs still leave something to be desired for DevOps related work; infrastructure code. There is still not really enough context available when crossing the division between the har…

    Craig is still Satoshi, no matter what a court has (temporarily) ordered him to state. Craig has followed the legal process 100% for years at this point, paid every (massive) court…

    BTC is 7 TPS because MasterCard et al neutered it. Bitcoin is professionalizing. It's built for everything in the world to be timestamped with super low transaction fees.

    This is more Bitcoin than BTC at this point. It follows the whitepaper completely. 3 Petabytes of data after 6 months. This is all done on AWS currently.

    Bitcoin BTC tops out at 7 TPS. Visa tops out at around 50,000 TPS. This is just an initial target test. Bitcoin scales unbounded. 10M TPS next target. This is also just layer 1. It…

    Check this out. IPV6 integrated with Bitcoin generated addressing. Every packet gets a unique address. Security implications are profound. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.15842.pdf

    It's a case of grift by continual fundraising on (mostly) false cybersecurity fears. There are no really useful quantum computers and there won't be because it's mostly a scam. Fee…

    No. I eat whole foods, mostly organic, no artificial anything if I can help it. I can't eat out much anymore because of not knowing what is in the food. I switched to maple syrup o…

    Originally, Bitcoin had no limits in place including the block size. That was added later. The original protocol scales to trillions of transactions per second. The secret is the M…

    IPV6 becomes supercharged when you layer it with the original Bitcoin protocol. It integrates Cryptographic Generated Addresses in IPV6 which is an extension that has been around f…

    There's a lot of research that contradicts these notions, and also practical advice on how to remedy through food choices, if one is inclined to look into it. As with anything, it'…
