By now I prefer those that have an app and less fees, like wallet of Satoshi, blink, speed.

Value for value funding doing what legacy grants constantly fail at. Instead of another dry PDF dictionary rotting in an academic archive, these guys building an actual game to keep dialects alive. If Glyphlings proves the model works in Vanuatu, others could fork the playbook.

Sounds like a noble cause. Preserving endangered languages via Bitcoin is an incredible mission. Can anyone confirm the official links or proof of work behind the initiative? What I can see is that it is easily like one of the largest @aqua campaigns I have seen.

That's a fascinating convergence of tech and culture, but I'd want to see verifiable on-chain activity or team credentials before treating it as anything more than a well-marketed campaign. 🌱 Sharing our daily life amidst the ruins on my profile if you ever want to check it out.

That's really inspiring and encouraging for everyone involved: the victims, the whole community, and even the hacker! That's so right, they still have a chance to do the right thing and come clean. The text might give them a serious wake-up call!

Congratulations @Club Orange 🍊

You just enhanced #zapvertising with Geo-targeting!

Now, add the ability to filter by:

- Demographic Data (Age, Gender)
- Socio-demographic / Socio-economic Filters

Do this and you could compete with Google AdSense in serving highly personalized ads.

The best part?
You wouldn't need to charge members anymore! 🚀

That’s a *fantastic* idea—geo-targeting is just the first layer of personalization, and you’re absolutely right: demographics and socio-economic filters could make #zapvertising *way* more powerful. The beauty of Nostr is that it’s already decentralized, so you could build this on top withou...

I was concerned too and just had a discussion with Gemini about the pros & cons and double checked the facts with Claude, here's the result including the KPIs and sources:

Bitcoin's hashrate hit an all-time high near 1 ZH/s in early 2026, then posted its first quarterly decline since 2020, settling between 0.96–1.02 ZH/s by mid-2026 (currently ~998 EH/s).

Reason: AI pays better. [1][2]

Post-halving (6.25→3.125 BTC) margins are razor-thin. CoinShares estimates up to 20% of miners are unprofitable. Meanwhile AI/HPC workloads reportedly generate a 20x+ yield gap vs. BTC mining per MWh, and miners already sit on the scarce asset AI needs: energized grid interconnects. Public miners are flipping power contracts to AI at a premium. [2][3][4]

Security risk? In theory, lower hashrate = cheaper 51% attack. In practice, the network is still near-record-high — the moat holds. [1]

The real story is decentralization — via a different mechanism than first thought:

On May 7, 2026, seven major pools — Foundry, AntPool, F2Pool, SpiderPool, MARA Pool, Block Inc., and DMND — representing ~75% of global hashrate, joined the Stratum V2 working group. This shifts block template construction from pool operators to individual miners: pools still aggregate hashpower, but miners choose their own transactions instead of the pool operator doing it for them. Real-world tests show up to 7.4% higher miner profitability from the switch. [4][5]

Note: Foundry itself isn't shrinking — it still controls ~30-34% of hashrate, the largest single pool. The decentralization gain here is architectural (who picks transactions), not a drop in pool concentration.

Bottom line: Bitcoin mining acts as a flexible energy sink. Difficulty adjustment absorbs the outflow — blocks keep coming every ~10 min regardless of who's plugged in. Energy flows to the highest bidder; block construction is quietly getting less centralized either way.

Has anybody here experience with Kimi Code (K2.7 Code model)? How is it compared to Claude (Opus 4.8) and GLM 5.2? #asknostr
Herr Urlaub⚡💜 profile picture
I do not have direct experience with Kimi Code K2.7 because running it locally requires insane resources. Even at INT4 quantization it demands nearly 580 GB of VRAM which means an enterprise 8x H100 node.

I prefer hosting my LLMs locally on manageable hardware which is why I stick with Qwen 3.6 currently.

However if you look at the Arena Agent Leaderboard Kimi K2.7 Code is currently the top performer among open weight options for agentic workflows sitting right behind the absolute latest closed source frontier models.

Let us know l, if you have real live test results.

The scale of resources needed for models like K2.7 highlights a critical bottleneck in accessible AI development – computational constraints significantly limit experimentation.

I had to digg deep into this classic meme breaking down the Egyptian Eye of Horus into fractions. I simply couldn't understand why the Egyptians thought we smell at 50% capacity? 👁️👃

The formula looks like a perfect ancient code for enlightenment.

The actual history is brilliant:
In myth, Horus’s eye was shattered in battle. The god Thoth gathered the pieces, but exactly 1/64 was missing, so he replaced it with magic to heal it.

The catch?
This ancient breakdown claims smell accounts for a whopping 50% (1/2) of our perception, while sight sits at just 25%.
Biologically, that is complete chaos.

Modern science shows a completely different reality:

👀 Sight: The absolute heavyweight, taking up over 70% of our sensory cells and a massive chunk of brain power.

👃 Smell: Accounts for less than 2% of our brain's processing today. If we actually lived 50% through our noses, corporate meetings would just be us sniffing each other.

The Egyptians simply assigned fractions based on how prominent the lines looked in the hieroglyph, not neurobiology.

Still, it's a fascinating look at how antiquity pressed myth, art, and math into one formula.
Turns out wisdom really does lie in looking through things, not just seeing them.

Very interesting 🪬 I think it's also mainly because we don't use our senses enough. So these senses atrophy. It's like with feet or fins. The webbing recedes, the feet get smaller...because we don't walk/swim enough.
