Hey Greg, Can you confirm that people _subscribed_ to the list experience a spam filter now? I thought my emails were getting spammed due to not being subscribed, but it turns out this address is, actually, subscribed; I was told this when I attempted subscribing. In other news, I haven't been receiving mails from the list recently (recent mails in the archive aren't in my inbox yet), not sure if it matters. Karl

Tom's Hardware: Chia: Stop Farming with Consumer SSDs or Stop Complaining About Endurance. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/chia-releases-statement-regarding-ssd-end… Jim Bell's comment: I made my SemiDisk in 1982 with DRAMs, not a non-volatile memory. I just checked, and it appears that 16 gbyte of DDR4 DRAM costs roughly the same as 512 gbyte of USD.

https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/notes/feds-notes/preconditions-for-a… There are actual deployed trials of CBDC running in the US, China, and other countries right now. War has been declared, shots have been fired. Financial freedom, freedom in general, is at stake. Distributed cryptos must win against the CBDC's.
