I don't agree with this assessment at all. I think the immense value of bitcoin and other technologically advanced, secure, decentralized networks comes from the detailed network c…

What people don't realize, is that we already have fantastic alternatives to Ethereum for low-energy, world-class decentralized networks with built in NFTs. My favorite is avalanch…

Here is how I fixed it. (Error 81 due to a false positive filament jam -- occurs because the encoder wheel gets stuck and isn't turned by the moving filament) The problem was indee…

I recently got an old MakerBot 3d printer on craigslist. I could not get the print to work. It would print a tiny amount and then give me Error 81 - filament jam. Here's a note on …

So glad you asked! I wrote a blog post about exactly this. My answer is "The Network is the value." The price of a bitcoin reflects the value of the network using it. https://blog.…

Thanks to paroneayea and team for doing this! It's so important that we move this technology forward. I'm looking forward to digging in and maybe getting involved.

I hope this will be much easier for people to do when there are decentralized options. (other thread here discussing that.) And then the big players can't just buy the competitors …

same as now, encryption and permissions. We'll just have more options and less lock-in.

Just a general response to some of the skeptics here (I hear your points, I just think we're still early in the game). I do believe this will happen. I believe it's inevitable, it …

I CAN'T WAIT for decentralized infrastructure to finally become robust enough that clones of instagram and facebook can all share a network -- they'll all become portals to the sam…

Tidal Power? Though the ocean is not strictly at the bottom of the gravity well. And I assume that's not really what you're asking.

yup it's feasible. It does scale. Here are two links to research that support the feasibility and cost effectiveness of underground gravity storage. https://www.storage-lab.com/gra…

My understanding is that Dr Oliver Schmidt was hired by Heindl to do this research independently. It explains everything on the link I sent, so I didn't mean to imply that he wasn'…

A long time ago I did the napkin math to check if it'd be worth it to lift a skyscraper up and down just slightly for energy storage. You know, you'd just use adjusting ramps as th…

Wow, this is surprisingly less-debunked than I expected. Though, of course my first reaction is extreme skepticism. But I guess we'll see! https://www.quora.com/What-is-wrong-with-…

Yeah, I clearly need to change the wording here as it's just adding confusion. The key thing here is that adding 10x height gives you 10x more PE per weight without extra digging c…

Here's the simplest quick answer I have regarding "is it worth it." This is just one example of independent research vetting that it is indeed promising. The math checks out. https…

Wow, I didn't know they went bankrupt! Sad, thank you Heindl for paving the way forward. Innovation is truly a collaborative effort. https://heindl-energy.com/about-us/

My civil engineer partner could speak to this in more detail, but it's a well-understood solvable problem. You seal the shaft wall as you dig past the water table. And some small a…
