I used to buy a lot of pizza and burgers with bitcoin when I did night shifts. Still use it to buy electronics at least once a month.
It's also the best way to donate to nonprofit projects. I can just send ~ $10 of value, one time. No need to risk accidentally signing up for a monthly subscription or being bombarded by spam.
If you don't keep 100% of your monthly budget in BTC, you don't really care about the volatility either, because long term it always goes up.

Not really. Just a bunch of volunteers trying to get the police all over the world to do their job.
What the actual fuck...
You know the old saying... The politicians don't want children to be able to recognize a cunt.
Ever since I switched to lemmy, I constantly stumble upon people trying to guilt other people for their hobbies. That's pretty unhealthy.
Whoever reads this, don't feel guilty living your life. Spend time on whatever you're passionate about. Build new things, even if they do not have a rational use case at the moment. They might play an important role in your future.
There. We just broke the law.
They absolutely are. It's one thing to beg for the right to do something. It's entirely different to be able to just do it without the permission.
Did people forget how big of a deal the printing press was?
Also turn on the electric blanket if we are out and heading towards home after 9pm
Make sure it defaults to OFF after power loss. My colleague had a close call when the smart plug with the infra panel plugged in decided to turn on after the power outage.
They are a dangerous cult fueled by a ton of repressed feelings. But so is Tate! If they wanted to fight each other for a while that would be pretty sweet.
It's not supposed to be a secret. Most companies here publish it on their invoices, so you can pay them. Some nonprofits even display it on their websites to accept donations.
Even the some governments publish the treasury account numbers for anyone to see.
Researchers predict that by the year 2050, about half of the world's population will have myopia.
Considering the target demographic, a significant number of potential VR users suffer from myopia already. Why are there no more VR headsets with adjustable focus?
Several vendors offer replaceable lenses, or various addons to fit the glasses in, but the obvious solution used by the early cheap headsets like GearVR - adjustable distance between lenses and the display, is not being utilized for some reason.
Is it a technical problem, economical problem? Are the modern lenses somehow tuned for a specific distance?
Ever since the interview with Lukas Seyfrid (CZ), the chief of the hardware team, it was clear that Braiins is pivoting from the development of mining software, to building their own hardware.
This, I believe, is the first iteration of their effort in form of a consumer product, and while it is unlikely to make you a financial return on the investment, it's small form factor and nice anodized aluminum case can allow pretty much anyone to become familiar with the process of bitcoin mining. Or terrorize the testnet. The choice is yours.
I think I might buy one, just to try the viability of a pure solar setup.
HW specifications:
| Price (pre-order) | $199.00 |
| Hashrate | ~1Th/s |
| Power Consumption | 40W - 55W |
| Number of hashboards | 1 |
| Number of ASIC chips | 4 |
| Cooling Type | Active |
| Noise | 40 dB |
| Air outlet temperature | 40-50 °C |
But really, how much would it make in a year?
If we assume the current price and difficulty stays the same, the block subsidy is 3.125 BTC, median fees around 0.2212 BTC, free electricity, you'd get 0.001 BTC per 12 months, which is roughly 65 USD. A little more than 3 years to break even.
It's not going to break any records, but I'm still excited for what's to come next.
Arent these things being ingested as an alternative medicine?
