It sonifies header hashes into melodies 🎶 and each block sings its own tune.

I hope you enjoy listening to the sound of Chia!

Big thanks to @cameroncooper for giving us https://t.co/XdRz1CGwRL

@steppsr Thanks, that’s great to hear. Yes, I’ll get those added, hopefully soon. Appreciate the feedback. Feel free to DM me if you think of anything else 😊

A few months ago I thought I’d start building my own blockchain explorer for Chia. I never really had time for anything substantial between the demand from work and family life but of course, AI helped fill the small gaps for something fun. Here is the current iteration of Saffron Explorer.

Unfortunately, about 2 months ago I injured myself and am recovering from a large disc herniation so unable to push out new features atm (much pain, too ouch).

I have some good idea about the direction I’d like to take it in, so hopefully I can get back (pun intended) on it soon.

Of course, do not use this for anything critical, it’s likely to contain bugs and inaccuracies.

While testing the games, I found that Chia disabled the modpow opcode on mainnet in 2.6.0, and the mental poker card shuffle depended on it. Had to rebuild the whole shuffle on BLS12-381 elliptic curves.

Looks like a net win: smaller, cheaper to verify, and more secure. #mentalpoker #chiagaming #nokitlan

Latest thoughts on supporting gaming on Bitcoin: It could be supported with a combination of op_ctv, incremental hashing, and a compute taproot opcode

Huge thanks to @Dkackman for helping me and trusting me with all the testing, and thanks to @MayorAbandoned for the pool idea!

A simple message to the silly socialists.

You’re upset by businesses telling you that they will fail with the minimum wage increase. You’re telling business owners silly things like if you can’t pay the minimum wage then you don’t have a viable business.

I want to make this easier to understand, because if you mean what you say, you want people to have jobs and earn a liveable wage.

So listen, businesses fail for all kinds of reasons, mainly because they are unprofitable. We are seeing a wave of business closures at the moment because of the compounding costs from the state against a cost of living crisis.

To make a cup of coffee profitable it has to eat a lot costs:
- 20% VAT (the inputs can’t be claimed back)
- Business rates (a tax before you earn)
- Rising NI costs
- Employment rights load
- Rising energy costs
- Inflation

All these are imposed by the state.

There is also a time tax with all the accounting, HR and regularity requirements which impose cost of consultants and time costs to ensure compliance, distracting owners from operating their businesses.

Then there are the other normal costs. A business owner needs to make a profit else the business fails. If the business fails there are less jobs and lower tax receipts.

If there are less jobs then public services crumble and welfare requirements increase. This is a compounding problem and what leads to the downward spiral of a country.

So… where does the money come from if there are less jobs. The government borrows it, that increase in the money supply drives more inflation, making life more expensive for the people you want to help. Some who now don’t have the job they once had.

So what now? What is your plan? I get it, you don’t really have one, this is what has happened to every socialist state, this is how a country goes from rich to poor. We have no divine right to be a wealthy nation and can certainly lose that status.

So this is your challenge, can you accept society has a distribution of wealth which means there are rich and poor or would you rather everyone was poorer as long as there are no rich. That’s what socialists tend to want, though I have a secret for you, you can’t get rid of people being rich.

I know you think profit is ugly, but the profit motive is what creates business and jobs.

So anyway. I’m going to keep promoting proper economics because that’s how a nation becomes prosperous and prosperity leads to a net better outcome for all. This does mean I am going to have to make fun of your stupid socialist ideas.

Good luck, read a book and stop being a dumb dumb.
