Twitter 2.0 Review

1. All of the spam bots are gone from my mentions. Major promise fulfilled.

2. With only 20% of the original staff, Twitter is iterating, trying new things and shipping things 20x faster. This is extremely impressive.

3. More Twitter employees tweeting and soliciting feedback directly on the platform. Very cool.

4. My account is now treated equally to mainstream media accounts that often get the story wrong and has a blue checkmark

5. Revenue I’m making from Twitter has more than doubled

6. Longer video support allows me to post on the platform where my audience is rather than having to link to YouTube

7. Blatant misinformation has become an endangered species with community notes

8. I and others can speak freely without fear of being deboosted or kicked off the platform for some trivial “not woke enough” transgression

9. Twitter trending towards sustainable profitability

10. First female Twitter CEO, @lindayacc, a veteran expert in advertising hired

And yet the media constantly mocks Elon and Twitter as a disaster. Ironically, if you look at the financial statements of these media companies you will realize it is really *their* business that is a disaster and falling apart.

IMO, Twitter’s future looks brighter than ever

@thesamparr Walk-in pantry is high on my list. Double shower head in the master bath. Considering a soundproof-ish room for a music studio. 3-car garage with a slightly sloped floor (I think that’s common now, but important). A nice back patio/porch area.

Wastepaper conglomerates like @nytimes are just as guilty of greenwashing as any other big-money industry.

They pretend to care about the climate but have been murdering trees for almost 200 years…

It’s long past time they clean up their act.

The pulp & paper sector generated 190 Mt of CO2 in 2021, about 2% of ALL emissions from industry.

That’s not even accounting for all the CO2 that *would* have been taken out of the atmosphere if the trees we’re still alive!

Paper isn’t worth dead trees.

@AdSense I can’t verify my identity because it’s using a shortened version of my legal name. How do I contact a person to help me get this corrected?

I’m down to a single working miner now, and still no response to my tickets. Has anyone heard from them recently? Are they shutting down or something? #bitcoinmining #compass

[My First Million Fan @MFMFeedback]

Getting very concerned that @compass_mining is actually a scam. Since purchasing multiple miners last year, I have never had them all hashing simultaneously. I’ve also never received any credit for downtime. Customer service is slow, if they even respond at all.

[Daniel Batten @DSBatten]

Here's 2 quick reasons why we should have zero-trust in the NYTimes article on Bitcoin.

First have a look at the table they compiled on the top 6 miners (the full table is much longer)

I have the actual data from these miners (and the others in their table) compiled over an 8 month period.

The NYTimes article overstates actual fossil fuel use by the following levels - using special accounting rules reserved only for Bitcoin miners it would seem to justify the overstatement:

Riot: overstated by 82.5%
Atlas: overstated by 32.8%
Cipher Mining: overstated by 74.9%
US Bitcoin Corp: overstated by 74.9%
Rhodium: overstated by 89.9%
Bitdeer overstated by 82.5%

The emissions levels are also overstated on average by 81.7%

Also, ample evidence of cherrypicking to support their thesis by NYTimes.

for example:

There are now 26 Miners in US&Canada using 90%+ sustainable energy (and growing rapidly). They are:

DPO, Terawulf, Bitfarms, Gryphon Mining, Soluna, Hive, Cleanspark, Iris, DMOBlockchain, Sato, Cowa, Blockfusion, Hut8, Marathon, Cumulus, Ocean Falls + a further 8 using emission-negative mining which I document here https://t.co/26BeWETsUc

Cherry-picking evidence 1: NYTimes only focused on 2 of these 26 miners (Cleanspark and Terawulf)

Cherry-picking evidence 2: Then within these two, they only focused on (you guessed it) their least renewable-energy backed site(s), neglecting the sites that were predominantly renewable-energy based.

This is inception-like cherry-picking: cherry-picking within cherry-picking !

Their omission of data was not accidental

So in summary - we have evidence of significantly overstated real percentages of fossil fuel emissions, and using overwhelmingly incomplete datasets to support a thesis.

The article is full of such transgressions of genuine objective reporting. But I'll stick to these data-transgressions and leave the rest for others to pick apart.
