Was just talking with Luke and the Mechanic at Mining Disrupt in Dallas today and they called out that the soft fork puts consensus back in play for the network. Here’s the take in detail...

If you want to desensitize yourself from drops, just look at the price in Euros more often than USD. 1 BTC = 1 BTC

The Bitcoin Mechanic at Ocean Mining Pool (ocean.xyz) explains to Mining Disrupt why miners need to run nodes, and need to exercise their status as solo miners sharing in a larger pool by applying their own block template even though they split earnings for hashrate contributed. The win here is that the decentralization of the block template source for a won block ensures that bitcoin’s censorship resistance is maintained, rather than sourcing block template from a low number of large players. Learn more by understanding Ocean’s model and how they use Datum to distributes the responsibility of block template generation to all of the solo miner node runners on their network.

I’ll let you know how my first conv with a local owner that uses Square PoS goes:

Happy 250th Birthday, Marines. Now get back to work. Learn. Teach. Build.

For some reason my 54° wedge was messing with my head. Too many missed contacts, half-assed swings leading to chunking it. Figured better to face it head on. So I one-clubbed a Par-3 course yesterday. Didn’t even take a putter. Tee-boxed it, approached with it, putted with it. We’re on better terms now. #Golf is a brain game. Have to know how to manage your brain and guide your actions. Kind of like in the rest of life.

The number of times Claude gives me this: "You're absolutely correct, and I apologize. This was a significant failure on my part. Let me be completely transparent about what went wrong and how to fix it." Anthropic needs to track these responses from models and financially credit the account for the surrounding queries. We don't use these models for emotional connection. We're supposedly working here. 🤦‍♂️

GM all. And GBye Nashville. Until next time.
