  • Bitcoin hasn’t made much progress. There are some layers on top of it that let you send instantly and cheaply, but they are at best impractical (for lightning, of you want to be able to receive money you have to create a channel with a “server” node and them spend bitcoin which buy you liquidity to receive money. Utterly worthless)

    The two I have my sights right now are monero and ltc. Both of those let you send pretty fast and with less than a cent fee

    There is a tech that is called proof of stake that means that mining is waaaay more energy efficient but none of those are implementing it. I’ve heard it has drawbacks but I’m not sure I understand them

    Also monero is mined in a way that buying GPUs or ASIC (mining specialized hardware) is not worth it. You get better results on a CPU, making mining more accessible for everyone

    Both of those have confidential transactions so no one know who sends who how much money nor how much money each part has. Which is pretty cool










  • The beauty is that you can make the mental gymnastics to make it work both ways.

    If they are opposite, the magnet attracts the car which moves the magnet away creating infinite motion

    If they are the same, the magnet is repelled by the car, moving it away, moving the car forward creating infinite motion

    You can even do mental tricks to make the contraption go backwards: Opposites: car attacks magnet which moves the car backwards Same: magnet reppels the car which moves the contraption backwards
