Stake the min. 100k, have ~.03% chance to be a block producer. Worth it? Not quite what I hoped for. For the min. 100k validator stake could have 10x "miner" nodes... which are all equal, what's better? Not sure. Maybe I should sell all for $BTC.
Thoughts running a $MAN validator node; great setup instructions; stake much more than the min. or consider the lesser "miner" node; >65% block producer rewards are to ~15 addresses (highest, 5.5%, ~10M stake, or $1M USD | lowest ~1M stake, 3.8%, or $100k USD)
DoD quantum-resistance cryptography. "Adversaries could utilize quantum computers to attack the crypto algos used for secure online transactions." Much of what I've read in #crypto dismisses this as a threat. It isn't until it is. White papers due June 14. #bitcoin
#Blockchain Federal Squid Fishery. Are a lot of BC feasibility study/prototype opps for businesses interested in working with the Feds. A recent one. Any squid fishery and/or BPR experts want to team up?
