I wouldn't call it anonymized, customers still have to input shipping info (encrypted) and labels might contain return addresses of vendors.

Limiting to local only is a great idea. Will add.

Thinking about how to tackle the pricing thing.

The slicer does calculate a fixed price per print at the moment. If every provider sets his own rates, that would kind of defeat the purpose of choosing your nearest provider to get the best rates and instead lead to competitiveness between providers who might engage in a race to the bottom. But it's certainly possible to add.

Zero

The difficulty adjustment will kick in shortly and I'm going to point all available hashrate to https://pool.gobrrr.me

If you have hashrate to spare, join us!

We're trying to stop that block counter from showing the ugly zero.

GM!

Random raw milk appreciation note.

GM Sir! Registration approved. The basic functionality already works fairly well, the slicer and 3D viewer were improved a lot in the last days and print calculations are amazingly accurate (upcharge for profit margin is included in the calculation).

I'm really really proud of the new smart orient feature in the 3D-viewer, which is very very similar to those from Bambu Studio/Orcaslicer and takes most of the guesswork out of the orienting process for the customer.

For clarification, the slicer service exports customer models as a sanitized 3mf, always. Providers never have to touch the identical file a user uploaded (no zip bombs, no risk of hidden files). Also, Pod21 will never aks providers to run Gcode it created. Slice files yourself using your own profiles! We won't risk damaging machines or starting a fire because injecting arbitrary data into gcode is even easier than injecting it into bitcoin.

The provider payouts are the only part which isn't fully automated yet, at the moment, I have to approve payouts through BTCpay for security reasons, this will be fully automated as soon as I had the time to set up a separate BTCpay for the project which isn't connected to my main LN node. ;D

Hey, I hoped you would notice at some point. Would love to have you onboard! I'll keep building this until it's impossible to ignore. 😁

Throwback 🤣
