🇿🇦Xenophobic attacks against African migrants in South Africa are revealing a new reality today.
After the mass departure of many foreign workers, certain provinces, like KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape, are facing a labor shortage.
Agriculture, transport, delivery, construction… several sectors are now struggling to replace the workers who left. A striking contrast, given that these migrants were accused of "stealing" jobs from South Africans.

Imagine a forcefield bubble. Imagine it starting at the top of your head, and streaming out and up like you're a fountain, then spiraling around your body to come back into your feet. Once it's established you can make it more aggressive, like expand it out and zap bad energy away from you. Or you can get more creative, I like mine to be a honeysuckle covered gazebo. With practice it gets easier, and it absolutely works to help dodge other folks bad moods.
I very emphatically do-not

Going to college to get a paper that says I learned stuff, now I'm hireable is one of many big scams the corporations have invented and pushed to the scam college and universities. It's simply a way to keep you debt.
Back in the day before colleges and universities. The employer hired you and trained you. They invested in the worker. It's a much better system than the college & university system.

It's not fictional, this happened. But you're right, it probably happened in 2010, not 2009. I didn't solo mine, but on a pool.
2009 was when I created the wallet. I know this because it was when I received the first email on my current e-mail address. This e-mail superseded the one I saved the wallet keys on.
And chill, dude, I'm not claiming to be a seasoned Bitcoin enthusiast. I played with it in the very beginning, forgot about it, LOLed when people started hyping in 2017, then got into Monero around 2019.
I have committed to being an enigma. My opinion on everything is just a chuckle.
This is pure market manipulation.

Mid bitcoin is the best bitcoin.
When you mine in Bitcoinist, you choose how your mining power is used.
Join the public pool and you're mining alongside thousands of others. Every time the pool finds a block, the reward is shared out, so sats arrive steadily, bit by bit.
Or start a private pool with people you know. Your group hunts for a block of its own, and when you land one, the entire reward, 3.125 BTC, is split between you.
Steady, or all in together. Your call. Download Bitcoinist. 🟠

Ah so this is also good to save battery and bandwidth? I could connect this relay to Nostur and just use the one to read data from my “constructed outbox from relay tools”. Can I also write to this relay?
Someone want to send a group invite?
Somewhere out there, right about now, a mining pool is finding a block. It happens roughly every ten minutes, 3.125 BTC each time.
With Bitcoinist you can put your own pool in the running. Start one, bring your crew, combine your hashrate, and take your shot at the next one.
Yours could be next. Download Bitcoinist. 🟠

Hello Nostriches!
Forget all the reasons that make you unhappy. Try to find just one reason that you can be happy. That's the method I used this far in my life. I have a nice family and that is the thing that makes me happy always. Still my parents are with me. That's the blessing. One day I achieve my goals and make them happy. 💪

I think it is, I use a client (RelayTools-android) that only connects to one relay at a time for it's feed, so I can use less data, check my notifications, and have a quicker app. Then it connects to other relays only when I'm posting, to send the post. If apps support this type of mode, it can be helpful yes. I think amethyst might partially support it. It's like having a fast cache of the notes from your network, always collecting them in the background for when you want to read them.
My life is very lame at the moment, but it's been the biggest blessing for me personally relative to what came before it.
Good morning ✌️🧡

If I understand correctly, this is a solution for Damus’ lack of outbox. Is it useful for other clients too?
GM, may nostr be with you

OGs spending all their time in fiat finance is the lamest use of their lifespans.
I am a very big proponent of graph databases. It's all nodes and edges for me.
Damus iOS does not do outbox, so it only reads from an unchanging set of relays, and you have to get lucky to see your friends posts. Outbox model reads from a dynamic set of relays where your friends post, so it can see all their notes by connecting to 2 or more relays from *their advertised relay lists. The feeds.relay.tools pulls in notes using outbox so that a client that does not do outbox can just connect to that relay and see them. Nostur does it's own outbox in addition. So, now instead of no outbox, there are multiple ways to read your outbox.
Okay, fine…I’m checking out Buzz.
Now what?
Claiming Monero relies on "altruism" reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of the protocol. Monero does not rely on charity. Rather, it economically incentivizes miners via Tail Emission (a continuous, perpetual reward of 0.6 XMR per block, in case you missed it). Ironically, it is Bitcoin that suffers from a fatal design flaw regarding altruism and long-term security. As Bitcoin's block subsidies halve toward zero, BTC will be forced to rely entirely on unpredictable transaction fees to sustain its multi-billion-dollar security budget. Monero actually solved Satoshi's fee-dependence dilemma by ensuring miners are algorithmically paid in perpetuity. Mining XMR is driven by economic rationalism, not goodwill. And saying "my individual hash power is too small to provide measurable security" is the textbook Voter's Paradox. Centralization occurs precisely when individuals surrender their agency to mega-corporations. Look at Bitcoin today: just two industrial pools (Foundry and Antpool) routinely control over 50% of the entire network's hash rate. That is an oligopoly. In contrast, Monero's CPU-friendly RandomX algorithm, combined with P2Pool (a decentralized sidechain for mining), allows thousands of individual, home-run CPUs to trustlessly aggregate their hash power. You aren't just "adding a tiny hash"; you are participating in an un-capturable, permissionless defense mesh that prevents pool-level censorship and cartel formation.
Also, calculating profitability strictly through the lens of electricity-to-fiat spot price is economically naive. When you mine Monero, you are acquiring pristine, un-linked, non-KYC, sovereign money directly into your self-custodial wallet. No exchange identity verification, no bank surveillance, no risk of frozen accounts, and no tainted UTXO history. In an era of total financial panopticon, generating un-monitored financial privacy at margin is a tangible, highly valuable financial yield.
And excuse my french but what the fuck?! Citing Qubic as a "nearly successful attack" or a failure of RandomX proves you haven't read Monero's code (src/cryptonote_core/blockchain.cpp) or understood how consensus actually executed during that event. Firstly, Monero consensus does not blindly adopt the first block it sees; it strictly follows the heaviest chain based on cumulative difficulty. Secondly, Qubic attempted an empty-block/orphaning strategy. Because they lacked true, sustained cumulative difficulty superiority over the honest global network, their malicious blocks were automatically flagged, isolated into orphan pools, and rejected by honest nodes across src/cryptonote_protocol. And what was the result? Qubic burned millions of dollars in electricity and hardware wear only to produce useless orphan blocks. Monero absorbed a heavily-funded, coordinated stress test with zero downtime, zero re-orgs, and zero protocol-level emergency rollbacks. But the irony is this: Qubic itself is an opaque, centralized scheme where a single founder (@c___f___b or lil-stupid called Sergei Ivancheglo) demands miners hand over their untraceable XMR under the completely un-auditable promise of "burning" Qubic -even changing the buyback rules from 100% to 50% on a whim.
All in all, Monero wasn't "defeated" or "exposed" by Qubic. It was battle-tested! RandomX proved that a decentralized network of CPUs can withstand a concentrated assault without surrendering the network to ASIC cartels or centralized mining farms. Next time you lecture Monero users on mining protocol security, please try reading blockchain.cpp instead of parroting surface-level FUD.
