View this post on Hive: On buying the dip, a new Air Pad, and some other post SF3 thoughts - Dsnap 02


I've moved to Hive, along with most other people, following Justin Sun's takeover of Steem in the Spring of 2020. I believe hive is a lot more decentralised than Steem!

Sort:  

absolutely! technology of this kind is essentially anti-decentralisation and will be until we have:

  1. open source hardware
  2. technology available at home that can make more technology
  3. a non top-down hierarchic process for mining minerals and metals etc.

So we have a way to go!

Yes fair point... I guess 3D printers could sort the second, 2 and especially 3 are more sticky I guess.

The third point about minerals is a most interesting one. It's a horrific industry for the most part mining!

Yes, in many cases the mining is being done by children and under terrible conditions. Much like the reality of slaughterhouses catalysing vegans - the reality of mineral mining for those used in smartphones WOULD catalyse others to not use so much tech.. but few know at this point. I have certainly tried to buy the bare minimum new tech since learning of this about 10 years ago.

Yes I try and buy as little as possible.... but I just needed something which just works!

Wouldn't be a bad thing to improve mining.

There's also the power supply.

Cool, getting some more. I did that day before the bloody crash, but have got more since and am planning on even more soon!

Oh I bought about 1K back in July... thing is it just makes you want to buy more now!

I'm just waiting for the fucking btc to confirm... none since I deposited an hour ago.

It really is shit.

I have been there with BTC transfers. I will say to you, 'check tomorrow'. I use Etherium these days for my STEEM transfers.

I use ltc but I just happen to be getting rid of the last of my btc.

You never know... might be cheaper tomo!

Interesting thoughts, I've added one or two to the thread. Steemfest was good for me, too, in that respect, getting a sense of the whole project, the people involved, the energy and willingness invested in trying to resolve problems. It made a difference.
Brexit continues to be embarrassing, but I was heartened by the environmental protests in London yesterday, closing down various bridges. There was a lovely photograph of one of the occupied bridges with people sitting down in deckchairs. I should have saved it when I saw it!

Yes true about the energy.... at least that's something a 1000 watt solar array can sort, and yr only buying the hardware once every couplr of decades or so.

I need to check out those protests. Got so out the loop with the news since SF3!
