Btw I can’t zap you, not sure who’s side it’s on, I’m just on primal

Sazmining is an awesome idea, and everything makes sense to me for the service cost and all that. But I have one question. If I buy a mining rig from sazmining, and it runs for a few months, but then has some sort of hardware failure, let’s say repairable, do I pay for the repairs? Or if it breaks and is not reparable, is there any sort of warranty period on the rigs?

So, this is an interesting point, and maybe I can use the example to better explain myself. At the risk of sound like an idiot… : What is an economic node, and what practically makes that node different to other nodes? Realistically, like you say it’s trivial for a determined person to spin up 1000s of nodes a little cost. So, in my mind the only reasons why this attack could not work is that there are enough Bitcoiners that run their own nodes, and follow their own rules (let’s call it true Bitcoin consensus rules), no matter if there are 1000s of other nodes who are saying something different. In the real world though, those 1000s of spun up nodes only point to 1 attacker, 1 entity. Assuming the community members are stead fast enough, they will follow their own rules, and so, even though the attacker has the greater node count, the community refuses to change. I guess there could cause chain splits at this point… which would bring mining into the convo… so if mining supports the attacker node software, then they get the longest chain, we loose. But this in my mind is then a mining centralisation attack. I see that this is sort of contradictory to my previous message though, where I stated that “the majority node count should win”, I guess I’m still working though it in my head…

Awesome, thank you for the assistance 💪🏼

The PWA works great, and adding an app is more to maintain… What is the benefit for making the app?

Yeah I think it’s a good time to step back and take a breather this weekend. I know I am

I genuinely don’t see how this is the case, and would like you ask for help in understanding. I’ve thought about it a little in the past, about whether a node is a node, or if some are more important than others, but I can’t come to a satisfactory conclusion. if 10 000s of nodes enforce a change on the hobbyist side, but some key nodes don’t enforce it (such as from miners) then I think that the node count will win. This is because the miners have more to loose than the hobbyists, and so will probably match their node software to what majority of the network is on, where they are least likely to mine rejected blocks. Whether I am right or wrong with this statement, I can atleast see points from both sides, so it makes sense to me as an arguable point. But in the case of the 10 000s nodes vs “economic nodes”… I really don’t see how a node that has more Bitcoin associated to it has any say. It’s not like they have any more connections than other nodes, they are the same as any other node on the network so far as I understand. This is what leads to my confusion really… how is a bitcoin node even classified as “economic”? Perhaps I am misunderstanding what has been termed economic. It does not necessarily mean to have more Bitcoin associated to it. As I type this, maybe it’s more about public nodes that many people look to? Like Seth for privacy’s node, or block streems node, coinbase node. Would those be concidered economic nodes as they likely influence a large host of users who don’t/can’t run their own nodes for services? Is there something else I am missing ? Some influence I am not taking into account?

Let me know if you change anything your side and I’ll try again 👍🏼

Geometry in a dimension that we cannot comprehend

So within the first year the machine is guaranteed effectively, any other maintenance required after this you’ll cover a max of $150 a year. Is there any forced retirement of rigs? If they get too old, or are beyond repair for any reason? This is all edge case stuff, but important to know. I very much see this as a long term investment.

I’d like to ask, how is the effective life of a miner dealt with ? Say I were to buy a miner, it mines for a year, but then suddenly it breaks, or something is wrong and you no longer run it for me. I am forced to buy another then correct? Is there any sort of garentee on the running life of a purchased miner? Thanks!

Calm seas never made for a good sailer.

Is able* to spend this on chain Bitcoin

No currently your primal address does not link to an on chain address. What you might be referring to was the “on chain zap” thing that was popular a while back. How that worked is that, people could send on chain Bitcoin to you by acquiring an address drerived from your nostr public key. Your nostr private key (due to the magic of cryptography ) is about to spend this on chain Bitcoin. The catch here is that this is a reused address, so has got bad privacy trade offs, and is just generally impractical. You don’t need to worry about channel closures if using primal wallet. You should research into unilateral exit from the spark protocol when you are ready, but this is an edge case thing, probably not urgent, but good to know none the less.
