New set up heats up main floor very well. Sucks in cool air from basement window, runs more efficiently.

What’s the best path forward for decentralizing and disintermediating bitcoin mining pools?

[TFTC @TFTC21]

"There being a large [mining] pool that's nearing 50%, that's getting to the point where they could completely censor the Bitcoin blockchain if they wanted to, just by their own decision making, should frighten everyone."

Bitcoin mining produces a significant amount of heat.

It is generally a huge problem for industrial miners – what do you do with the excess heat?

But what if heat wasn’t a problem? What if heat was a product?

This is a dark day for privacy advocates everywhere. But by no means does the fight end here.

@Lewified Mining pools are not very decentralized…

[Ben 🌲 @Lewified]

.@craigraw gives a sober warning to consider - if we hyperfocus on scaling, do we risk losing the ‘Crown Jewels’ features of Bitcoin? Decentralization, privacy, no permissions, no trusted third parties… will we give these up to scale?

> “We have this overwhelming demand in the bitcoin community that we must scale. But I’m not sure that that is the overwhelming need. […]”

> “We have given up a lot of things in order for Bitcoin to scale, and I’m just going to throw it out there that I don’t necessarily think that scaling is the best all and end all of everything that we should be thinking about. […]”

> “I’m not saying that I have all the answers. I just know that if you start to drop your ideals, and start to lose those things that make Bitcoin unique, you might be giving away the Crown Jewels.”

@evankaloudis @ZeusLN I liked the Zeus app interface, but had trouble routing to where I wanted to make lighting payments.

Then it’s hard for me to figure out where to open Lightning channels, and how to keep them balanced, so that I could pay someone.
