I wish the sync was faster, but it is what it is eh…

I just got a notification from @ordinarygamers from my discord server I setup (it’s kind of a mess ngl) and I normally watch his content on Odysee, just wish it was faster although I believe it takes time as per API requests. Takes time to upload to the LBRY network I believe… @lemmy

God damn Bitcoin network fees spiked. Had to switch to ethereum to cover @mastohost hosting fees. I had a data overage and for $20 wanted $50 in Bitcoin network fees.

Apparently it’s due to Bitcoin NFT’s the Rune’s. I don’t get most of this NFT shit and I’m a fan of cryptocurrency.

Anyway just a reminder all tips and donations cover my content creation and server hosting. I take cryptocurrency, Ko-Fi, and Stream Elements.

With the April 19 bitcoin "halving," am resharing an essay I wrote on it from early in 2024. "Bitcoin's Baptism in the Heavenly City of 21st Century Financiers."

Consider how long it took society to realize the net negative that is. How long before we saw the scam of the#gigeconomy for what it was? After a decade of breathless promises, people are no longer seriously waiting on and is finally seen by the wider public as the toxic libertarian fraud it always was.

Consider all this and that has only been in the public consciousness for about a year and ALREADY non-tech-oriented outlets are lampooning it for the bald-faced nonsense that it is as well as the who shill it as the robber barons they are. I am not going to say that we have yet learned our lesson, but this is to me a very promising sign. https://youtu.be/20TAkcy3aBY

If you use Discord, you might wanna know this.

A service called Spy Pet is scraping Discord servers, archiving and tracking users' messages and activity, and then selling access to that data.

Spy Pet scrapes more than 10,000 Discord servers, and besides selling access to anyone with cryptocurrency, it offers the data for training AI models or to assist law enforcement agencies, according to its website.

Spy Pet claims to be tracking more than 14,000 servers, 600 million users, and includes a database of more than 3 billion messages.

> an intense competition is underway to mine the first block after the halving, which could contain a rare and collectible fragment of a bitcoin known as an "epic sat."

In the beginning, the computer was invented. It had many uses, and people saw that it was good, and much money was made.

Then, the Internet was invented. It, too, had many uses, and people saw that it was good, and much money was made.

Seeing this, the techbros concluded that people will see any new technology as good, and that much money will be made, and so they invented , and said that it had many uses and was good.

Google sues crypto investment app makers over alleged massive "pig butchering" scam.

Promotional videos had actors pose as the founder of bogus apps, but made the mistake of using two different people play someone with the same name!

You'll know that Bitcoin is mainstream when people just call them "scams" instead of "crypto scams"

I have some content on securing accounts with @yubico seeing as I upgraded to an iPhone 15 with USBC I no longer use lighting so Yubico sent me two 5C NFC keys to upgrade my 5Ci’s.

Plus I will be discussing securing cryptocurrency with multiple levels of security. Basically there will be two wallets, one with a standard BIP39 key and the other with a Shamir shard. With the idea of a wallet with small amounts and another for HODL

A day after Sam Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison for stealing billions from customers, The Verge's Elizabeth Lopatto says that the disgraced crypto king is still gambling. “Sam Bankman-Fried has learned nothing,” Lopatto writes, “and I’m not sure any of the rest of us have, either.” https://flip.it/IUzntZ
