The mind control nanites hugged the zombie apocalypse, in the middle of their intergalactic war. "I don't like hugging" said a zombie. "I like eating brains." The nanites found some brains in a surgical dumpster and gave them to the zombie with a label that said "hugz from wild nanite borg" . The zombie ate the discarded brains. They were so delicious!

[ot] [wrong] saving world
by Karl 05 Jun '21

05 Jun '21

Let us save the world and stop all suffering. Many things seem strange. People speaking, behaving, in ways I don't understand. Also, I have not been learning much over the past decade. I have been in my personal time loop. When the experiences steer me from what I choose to do, how can we halt suffering in the world? How can we meet the needs of every living thing? I am a small piece of life. I can barely control my own thoughts. But if I have a small amount of blessing, maybe I can find paths to some day express what I would like to.

Mining on smart contracts
by JohnWilliamJohnson＠secmail.pro 05 Jun '21

05 Jun '21

Bitcoin, with its appearance, brought a global modernization of the economy. But at present, modernization remains incomplete. The creation of many blockchain projects gives complete freedom to both developers and entrepreneurs. But unfortunately, almost all entrepreneurs consider cryptocurrency as a means of investing, and not completely modernizing their own business processes. Also, smart contracts are not fully used. Is it possible to develop a business, as well as a new round in the life of cryptocurrencies with the implementation of the function of mining altoins on the blockchains of Ethereum, Tron, Solana or Tezos? Currently, mining can be considered not only as a function of maintaining the viability of the blockchain. Mining can only be based on commercial purposes. It can be considered as mining for carrying out any actions, or for providing any information (for example, checks). In fact, each entrepreneur can adapt the extraction of issued coins to his own business needs. Which will lead to an increase in demand for altcoins existing not on native blockchains. The demand for altcoins (like any other cryptocurrencies) favors the development of the critical currency industry as a whole. Which blockchain, at the moment, is the most suitable for the implementation of mining on smart contracts? And when will the boom of altcoins mining come?
