Wouldn’t it be amazing if Derek upgrades his List of Legendary Apps?! Zapp him some love if you agree! View quoted note →

Funny how time shifts perspective

On Umbrel you can switch from Bitcoin Core to Bitcoin Knots without resynchronizing. All it takes is dragging your existing data folder into the Knots app. Here's a quick step-by-step walkthrough if it helps: FYI: The replace popup only shows up in umbrelOS 1.4.1 beta 1. For now you can just: - Stop both apps - Go to Files > Apps > bitcoin-knots, and delete the "data" folder - Then go to Files > Apps > bitcoin, and cut/paste or drag-and-drop the "data" folder in Files > Apps > bitcoin-knots Works like a charm!

A bit of science fiction: There once was a #visionary man, given a peek into the future. He learns that a rare earth element called Nossenago is going to one day become the most valuable element on the planet because it is going to enable the creation of a sustainable fusion reaction. It's discovery is still 20 years in the future. What does he do? Does he share this information with scientists, allowing them to accelerate the process of discovery and bring the benefits to the planet decades faster than would otherwise be the case? Or does he wait those 20 years, secretly organizing his operations and acquiring the "Nos" in large quantities, stored in his personal cannisters? This visionary man, Mac Eveli, chooses the latter. Only after acquiring as much as he can, he begins to leak the "discovery" of this new element. Everyone is excited and a market for this nascent asset of extremely limited production potential begins to develop. Being a man of industry, he is asked his opinion of NOS, and he pretends that he is unaware of it and declares it to be worthless, despite the fact that he has already seen the price chart out 32 years, in intervals of 8 years. At that interval, without the data between the 8 year intervals, the price appears to go straight up and to the right with a very high r squared. Much to his surprise, he finds that there are extreme peaks and valleys in between these data points. The discovery of this nearly bankrupts him at the worst of the lows. But he finds a benefactor (Rosos), one of the richest speculators in the world, and shows him the chart he has seen. All he has to do is tell the speculator of a single point on the chart, a precise value, a time and a date to prove to him that this is legit chart from the future. On that day, at the precise time exactly, the price of this highly volatile asset intersects. Rosos is convinced. Now that he is nearing bankruptcy, and knowing this to be the case, he is asking the benefactor to quietly back him in order to avoid bankruptcy proceedings. Neither man can disclose their absolute knowledge of the future, or they will jeopardize the incredible opportunity for personal enrichment. Together, they run a decades long con on the world, slowing the process of discovery so that they can use the public markets to buy NOS with OPM. Sadly, this slows the process of discovering the use and applications for this amazing element. Fission continues to exist as the only form of sustainable nuclear reaction. As the use for this element is suddenly "discovered" by labs secretly owned and funded by the duo, their personal holdings and that of their company soar. The race to acquire all of this extremely limited element is on. The human race, however, is waiting as nuclear war draws closer and closer. But these two, now enabled by flocks of investors to acquire all of the daily production of NOS are cornering the market out of pure greed. The planet awaits the collection of a critical mass at one of a few labs who are staffed with scientists who will one day develop and refine the process for cold fusion. Are these "visionaries" making you rich since you own a piece of their company? Yes. Are they really helping to serve the good of mankind as quickly as possible or are they mercenaries like Martin Shkreli, seeking profit at the expense of human lives, in fact risking the future of all humanity as the doomsday clock ticks away? - Josh Man

Apparantly, an OG bitcoiner got scammed recently, using sophisticated social engineering. Stay safe out there.

Inevitable integration or obnoxious capture ?

Knots just crossed 3% of all nodes on the network.

If you bought 1 Bitcoin ten years ago it would now be worth 1 Bitcoin
