@npub1cvcg...rtya has literally connected the dots between Bitcoiners across the world. This map represents podcast meetup locations, posted meetups and mentioned meetups or locations connected to the Bitcoin network through interaction and conversation on their website. Bitcoin is spreading. In theory, if you wanted to create a Bitcoin network of trade and ideas this would be a map to connect those dots. @npub13cnl...kzpe @rev.hodl @Reed By the way , I made this with Grok Bot while driving in a roll off truck while simultaneously listening to episode 28. Look ma, no hands. Just my voice. Crazy times we live in. image

OpenAI just claimed a proof of Navier–Stokes — a problem open since the 1930s — using about 10,000 AI agents running for 88 hours. So I asked the obvious question: if agents can do that, what happens when you point a million of them at SHA-256 and try to break Bitcoin? The answer is nothing, and the reason is worth understanding. Navier–Stokes was a search for an idea, and the winning proof is only a few dozen pages long — throw enough agents at it and one of them finds the insight. Brute-forcing a hash is a search through a list of 2²⁵⁶ possibilities with no structure and no shortcuts, and every time you double your fleet you gain exactly one bit out of 256. A million agents buys you 20 bits. A hundred million buys 27. Run a hundred million agents flat out from the Big Bang until today and you'd reach 2¹¹⁸ — still a thousand times short of the easier target. And past a certain point it stops being an engineering problem and becomes a physics one: just counting to 2²⁵⁶, ignoring the hashing entirely, would take more energy than ten trillion Suns produce in their lifetimes. Bitcoin mining is already the largest brute-force attack in history, running 24/7 for seventeen years, and it's about 10⁴⁸ short. Here’s a link I created on Claude that breaks it all down

Just boosted ⚡ 1,000 sats to @npub1cvcg...rtya for Ep. 11 "Attendee to Organizer to Conference Host: Portland, OR | Ep. 011" I really like how Portland has multiple meetups per month and how each one is tailored to a specific aspect of bitcoin, from beginners to bit devs, social and even annual conferences. Really impressive. Something we should all strive for as our meetups grow.

Just boosted ⚡ 1,000 sats to @npub1cvcg...rtya for Ep. 10 "Evolution & Development of a Meetup: Niagara Canada | Ep. 010" A few things stood out to me in this episode…. I’ll comment on one of them. The idea of going slow not fast is very true. A previous job I used to have required me working with transformers on the electrical grid. I’d tell my guys “fast is slow, slow is fast”. You get into a rush and you’re more likely to screw up. Just take your time and do it right the first time. This 100% applies to anything bitcoin related…. Especially setting up self custody

Just boosted ⚡ 5,000 sats to @npub1cvcg...rtya for Ep. 25 "Bitdevs are Bitcoin Meetups w/Shinobi: Chicago, IL | Ep. 025" This episode is possibly my favorite one so far. Sometimes you just need to hear how it really is vs what the main narratives are. Fact is, we have a long, long, LONG way to go with hardware wallets in regards to true self sovereignty without serious risks.
