Yes, but you'd have to run it for your area. I've done some preliminary research and I think it's possible. There are several Python modules that can get road traffic data from Waze programatically. If someone wants to give it a shot and vibe code it, point it to the nip in roadstr repo and it shou...

Yes but its the best we have at the moment. When I look at Bitcoin and the community, they don't share the same goal anymore, the community is broken.

As long as you don't teach your children that both the state and everyone who works for it are your enemies, nothing will change. There's no point in saying on social media that you're anti-statist w...

Should I be angry at my grandma because of her public pension? She's receiving way more than she contributed.

Unfortunately many people benefit unfairly from the state. Should I also "hate" anyone that went to a public university or hospital?

I see the point, but don't think it's fair. I hate the state, which is clearly who steals from me. And I'm disappointed of those who defend that robbery (whether they benefit from it or not). But I don't get into second order beneficiaries. Is a public health doctor net negative? Is a university professor? Where's the line?

From my point of view, all civil servants are thieves. But this is not about hatred; hatred leads nowhere. It's about creating parallel systems. In the end, you're going to have to choose: would you rather starve to death yourself or let your children starve, or let the civil servant starve? That...

It is and it is fungible, it is the best what we have.

How would Bitcoin work if there was a human settlement on Mars? And further away?

The time it takes for electromagnetic waves traveling at the speed of light though open space is between 3 and 22 minutes depending on the relative position between the Earth and Mars.

So for example, Mars miners would be at a great disadvantage at first! And reorgs (chain forks) would occur more often.

For regular transactions, it would just mean higher waiting times for Mars users.

But Lightning Network path finding... Probably impractical!

What if there's a human (or another intelligent life form) settlement further away? As in weeks or light years far?

Should each 10 light minute radius area get their own coin? And then the market does its thing setting the exchange rates? Or?

The latency for Mars settlement transactions is a fascinating thought. While base layer confirmations would be slow, sidechains or federated chains could offer local settlement with periodic Earth-syncs. Lightning might adapt with longer time-locks.

I think Martians will launch their own network. Ultimately, there should be only one shared network within a certain radius where trade can take place. The only question that remains is how to prevent 51% attacks by Earth against Mars.

It's true, that's a problem for Bitcoin, but It will be for any kind of money known to me, and i think that Bitcoin solves the main problems that currencies tries to solve better than any other, so It's easy to imagine, and hopefully happens, that there will be a fork of bitcoin and yes as u propous...
