    I still don’t get bitcoin

    Specifically, how you earn earn them

    You solve an algorithm and get a number out, the number is then checked against some control. It's either a hit or not, if it's a hit you've got yourself a bitcoin, then you keep solving for new numbers.

    As numbers get "taken" it gets progressively more work to find the next correct number. Finding new ones will slow and eventually seize altogether - at least I am fairly sure it's made to be finite. So mining bitcoins were easier at the start but will progressively get harder, requiring more and more calculation and wasted energy to do.

    Anyway, once you have your bitcoing you can pay cryptolocker ransom and buy heroin for it which is handy.

    A key piece of info here: as your computer solves the math problem to generate new coins, it's also being used as part of the distributed network to record transactions. So you're being "paid" to lend your computer to the network by getting new currency. The currency works because transactions are recorded and verified by everyone. It's decentralized, so no single entity has control, so you want lots of people lending their computers to it. You need to pay them to do it, and you pay them in new coins.

    the math is set up so that coins get harder to produce over time, so as more and more machines join the network and make coins, it takes longer and longer for any single machine to do it.

    can you feel the struggle within?

    And about the value, you could argue there's at least rarity there given how it's set up. But it's still just speculation based and not backed by anyone or anything.

    If I got a critical mass of people behind using my post-it smiley doodles as currency it could basically become the next big thing.

    Well, there's a gudetama mobile game where you cook gudetama to collect them.


    And you can take AR pictures with them.

    Thor is angry at my area right now. Just had lightning strike the park next to me I think and the thunder was so loud it freaked out my dog who normally ignores it.

    To make me sound slightly less crazy, the bus I took only ran every 20 minutes and I had never ridden it before so I didn't want to trust the timetable 100% >_>

    I think my iPhone 6S screen has burn-in now -- there's a ghost of the keyboard visible when I'm looking at dark-backgrounded things, like Discord

    combined with its battery life and the silent switch no longer functioning maybe it is time I think about looking for a new one

    Just finished up the God Butcher storyline from the Thor comics a couple years ago. Marvel Unlimited is good times.

    Yo Thor comics are great.
    it's set across three timelines, young babby unworthy Thor, Avenger Thor, and the one eyed, metal armed future King Thor, wielder of the Thorforce, which they renamed because he's had it longer than Odin.

    At one point Avenger Thor grabs King Thor's hemma and dual wields them. He slams them together to make thunder.

    Oh brilliant

    Also it’s very cool that Poe and BB-8 are getting a cartoon series, even if they’re not the main characters

    Regardless, I’d love a prequel series about their wacky adventures filled with friendship and bravado leading to poor decision-making

    I did 5 miles in it today since I was in DC for a class.

    It was gross. I did wear shorts. I gave no shits.

    Her series would be fairly rote and full of responsibility and dutiful sacrifice

    Or maybe Holdo used to be exactly like Poe, but then she grew up and became a leader
