what system are you lending your energy to?

i have the amount of interest in STRC as I do in Ordinals and JPEGs

Please ask MARA about Stratum v2 while in Vegas. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Mempool on the sats standard now?

I don't get paid enough for all the theatre.

There's a strong correlation between Trump enjoyoors and STRC enjoyoors. It's very telling of value alignment.

STT on for grok to give me: # Bitcoin as a Secure Channel in Cyberspace: Unpacking Softwar, Proof-of-Publication, and the Heatpunk Movement **By Bitcoin Veterans** *April 2026* In the evolving conversation around Jason Lowery’s *Softwar* framework, one idea keeps surfacing with fresh clarity: **Bitcoin isn’t trying to shield the entire internet.** Instead, it functions as a powerful, energy-backed *secure channel* for passing signals and ordering information inside your own chosen slice of cyberspace. I’ve been chewing on this with Grok, and the nuances are worth unpacking in detail. ## Softwar: Electro-Cyber Power Projection Softwar — the term Lowery coined in his MIT thesis — describes Bitcoin’s unique ability to project power *in, from, and through* cyberspace without kinetic force. At its core, Bitcoin uses proof-of-work (PoW) to anchor digital information to physical reality (energy and hashrate). An attacker doesn’t just need better code or social engineering; they must out-spend real-world electricity. That makes attacks *physically expensive*. It’s non-kinetic warfare for the digital age. ## Bitcoin as Your Secure Channel (Not a Universal Shield) Bitcoin gives you — whether you’re a military entity, a nation-state, a corporation, or even a small group — a **provably reliable way to publish and chronologically order information**. - It’s a **proof-of-publication** ledger. - Once data is buried under enough cumulative work, rewriting history becomes absurdly costly. - The result is cryptographically enforced, immutable chronological ordering. This is sufficient for high-stakes applications: secure command-and-control, uncensorable value transfer, or any messaging where trust in the record matters. **Important clarification**: Bitcoin does *not* blanket the entire internet and make every bit of data impregnable for everyone forever. It secures *your* channels. Other players can (and will) run their own networks, protocols, and comms. Bitcoin doesn’t confiscate cyberspace — it simply gives anyone who opts in a new, energy-backed enforcement layer. ## Permissionless Asymmetry: Energy Is the New Battlefield Here’s where it gets strategically interesting. Bitcoin mining is radically permissionless. The “economic entities of hashrate” can be as small as a handful of people who control energy sources. You don’t need a central authority’s blessing. You need electrons and silicon. This creates healthy asymmetry: - Small, energy-smart groups (or even individual households) can participate meaningfully. - You don’t need planet-scale energy to defend *your own* channel — just enough to keep your timestamped data credible. The foundation is energy itself. Those who control energy control the ability to secure channels in cyberspace. ## The Heatpunk Movement: Decentralization You Can Feel One of the most exciting developments right now is the **heatpunk** (or “hashrate heatpunk”) movement. People are installing miners in homes, garages, and small businesses specifically to capture waste heat for: - Space heating - Water heating - Greenhouses - Other practical uses Devices like Heatbit, custom immersion setups, and retrofitted ASIC heaters are turning “waste” heat into a feature that actually subsidizes electricity costs. **Why this matters for the network**: - Electricity bill offset → home mining becomes economically viable again. - Nodes + hashrate literally in every house → massive geographic and political decentralization. - More participants securing the ledger with their own energy → dramatically harder for any single actor (state or otherwise) to dominate or censor. This bottom-up, energy-based resilience is exactly what makes Bitcoin’s permissionless security model antifragile at global scale. ## Tying It All Together Bitcoin/softwar isn’t the one ring to rule all of cyberspace. It’s a protocol that lets *you* raise and project electro-cyber forces to protect your own bits of information (financial or otherwise) by making attacks expensive in real energy. It’s permissionless enough that small, energy-smart groups can participate meaningfully. Movements like the heatpunks make that participation not only possible but economically attractive. That’s why it feels like such a clean fit for military-grade secure channels — without pretending it’s some totalizing shield. --- **What’s next?** If you’re running a node, experimenting with home mining, or thinking about how Bitcoin changes power projection in the 21st century, drop your thoughts below. The heatpunk wave is just getting started — and the more of us turning waste heat into hashrate, the stronger the network becomes. *Stay sovereign.*

#weedstr Looks like our girls didn't make it. Trying for a direct sow with two seeds. A bit late but oh well. I did a shit job starting inside and had too much water. The cups got moldy and the plants weren't strong because I drown them. *sigh*
