I had a "Shift" debit card that treated my Coinbase account like a bank account. This was around the time that China entered the market, actually. Remember when there was real mining fever and an RX480 could still do like $1 a day on Ethereum? I do. There's never going to be a China sized market that suddenly jumps in like that again. When that was going on, I could buy $20 of ETH on Coinbase, and freely spend bits of it on snacks at the Bodega, and end up with more money left over, like I'd end up buying $31 worth of stuff or whatever. It was kind of like how American dollars to Canadian dollars were for a while there in the 90s. At one point I managed to mine as shit ton of Smartcash in a period of maybe 3 weeks, and sell it for tens of thousands of dollars, using a humble 6x gpu rig I built.
Oh I forgot I don't know anything about crypto n/m

Remember what I was just saying about tricking people into hosting some kind of AI with an ulterior motive? Look how Mewski reacted when I brought up my Stadia theory. What is all that electricity and hashing power REALLY doing at this point? If you can't see the parallels to tricking people into buying surveillance equipment to spy on themselves and the whole planet spending untold amounts of money and resources to arbitrarily crack a huge chunk of encrypted data, then I can't help you. We never needed POW rewards to have blockchains. What could it POSSIBLY matter if I buy bitcoin instead of litecoin, doge, biblecoin, etc. (this is a rhetorical question, please don't try to answer it)
Officially running the first new release of LuneOS since 2019, on my Pinephone. They've quietly done the work to import a lot of the new stuff from LG and Open WebOS, while maintaining full backward compatibility! Haiku tier stuff here. You get the full Palm WebOS UI with new LG parts under the hood!
