Yeah but selling rigs means losing whatever the msrkey figures is amortized, and the transportation and taxes. It would be so much better if rigs could sit there and do other tasks

Hypothetically, would the US government pay miners in China to mine empty blocks?

Ah okay. But can ASICs do that?

What's HPC?

Interesting line of thinking. Please tell me more.

Ohh, lol. I forgot that I ended that with a question.

🤔 western civilization exists now by miracle alone. In the 500 years since we made the great innovation of legislative assemblies, every successful country has collapsed under the weight of all the laws made by such assemblies. America is on the verge of the same fate, and the rest of the west is zombie protectorates. Will anyone in the west learn the lesson this time?

Fascinating

Do you use Canto or Mandarin? Just curious.

Mandela, huh? Impossible things, like dying twice, which he did.

China has had its parallel settlement system in gold set up for 20 years. Its just that now foreign companies and countries are using it more. Unlike western countries, they let you take your gold.

Interesting. I'd like to know the reasoning for that.

I like those costumes. I want one, and a magical staff with a glowy crystal on the top end.

Omg the googly eyes... Everywhere...

Good health and a boat

Teacher consultants are the worst. Their scam is, they visit a school and give a PowerPoint presentation to the teachers, talk about their experience, and say some flowery bullshit that doesn't mean anything in the classroom. Meanwhile they judge which teachers they like, and make recommendations about who to fire to the management. If you teach anything in the STEM category, you're probably not really a people-person, and those are the ones that get replaced, and then the school is entirely taught by gay airheads who groom kids (I have personally had to take action to stop a gay teacher trying to groom kids, who was showing porn in the art class). These consultants get paid a lot - idk how much, but they come with some variation of a PhD in Bullshit, which would be a big bump in pay if they were teaching, but they choose to do this bullshit job instead - they're raking it in.

I've been having terrible digestion problems recently, and I suddenly had an idea today... Stand more. So I've spent the last 5 hours standing and I think it's working.

Good point, but there has to be some upper limit to the fees most people are willing to pay. I wonder if that's higher than a government can pay to offset.

You did great! I bet it was fun too. I wouldn't worry about pointing and laughing - that means they recognize it, and maybe feel a little self conscious pointing it out.

So they let the miners sit unused while mining is unprofitable? If so, that's annoyingly inefficient... Surely there's something a miner can do other than mine, during these periods..

Hey it's all Greek to me 😜

Cities could compete at mining, like football teams. 🤔 Wait, this might make sense... Different locations have different energy sources, so there could real competition to develop competitive advantage
