Bitcoin is an open-source software protocol that can be used as an investment vehicle.

I see a lot of people recommending bitcoin and many of them are saying that it can be used for investment purposes.

However, even if bitcoin gets to the point where it is used as a replacement for fiat currency it is still only 0.005% of the value of all bitcoins out there.

Cardstack: A hidden crypto Gem | Ranked 5th in GitHub Commits | Web 3.0 Protocol | Real World use cases with the likes of CARD Wallet, CARD Space, CARD Pay and more | A Decentralized Software Ecosystem that can challenge today’s digital superpowers

Cardstack is a revolutionary experience layer that makes blockchain technology usable and scalable β€” creating a decentralized software ecosystem that can challenge today’s digital superpowers.

Developers can use the Cardstack Framework, a comprehensive SDK, to create powerful, card-based blockchain apps.

Cardstack opens the doors to Web3 for everyday people.

Building software is no longer reserved for experienced developers.

NFTs, DeFi and blockchain are no longer reserved for the crypto-savvy.

Instead, anyone will finally be able to build apps, create content and get paid in decentralized waysβ€”no coding or crypto experience required.

The current Projects the team is working on includes:

Card Wallet: A consumer-focused Web3 wallet for iOS & Android.

Cardstack Environment: A software composability framework and no-code tool based on JavaScript.

Card Pay, Card Space, Card Membership: A DeFi payment and reward protocol built on Ethereum. Card Pay is a payment protocol, while Card Space allows users to create their own decentralized spaces, like a DeFi version of WordPress or Squarespace. Card Membership uses on- and off-chain record keeping to identify and reward active participation of community members.

Ultimately, Cardstacks aims to replace all SaaS(Software as a Service) tools with open Web 3.0 alternatives.

This ecosystem is governed by smart contracts powered by the Cardstack Token (CARD), an Ethereum-based ERC20 token. CARD isn’t just any old cryptocurrency: it’s designed specifically to create a sustainable marketplace where open-source developers are rewarded fairly, while allowing users to curate and combine the perfect mix of software services to fit their needs.

Just like other cryptocurrencies, CARD users can become miners to validate transactions and earn fees. But unlike Bitcoin β€” which forces miners to solve useless math problems β€” Cardstack analytic miners help calculate the reward function of who gets paid out what, while sifting out spam, making the system fair and resilient. Analytic miners’ results compete in a sortition scheme we call proof-of-analytics, so reward algorithms are never under a single party’s control.

What is your protocol for finding software outside of apt and other package managers?

I want to install ledger

I tried apt search ledger / apt search ledger-live just to see if I could find anything but it looks like the only ledger software is accounting stuff.

I am curious to know what you would do in this situation.

-did I miss a step in looking for it in apt somewhere?
-would you do anything else before going to ledgers website to look for the software?
-what is the ideal way to install ledger live on linux?

I can't thank you all enough for the help, your 1 liners here and there save me more time than ya know. Thanks as always : )

Questions about details of power sharing with OCPP / other software network protocols

I have seen a couple references for software-/network-based load sharing between smart chargers. Curious about how these work in a residential context.

Are there any that can do both load share and shed load as other large appliances turn on in the house (EG with a Current Transformer sensor).

Are the software-/network-based systems fail-safe and code compliant? From my cursory research, it looks like the JuiceBox one will cut back to offer minimum current if it fails a server heartbeat.

Can an OCPP box loadshare with another one, using a controller that's practical to deploy at a residence?

Which systems, if any, are cloud based, and which are locally controlled?

Bitcoin is a software protocol. Satoshi, Hal, and Len were cypherpunks.

I don't think many of the users in here nowadays realize that bitcoin is just a software protocol, so I'm going to tell a story about the bitcoin protocol and some great cypherpunks including Satoshi, Hal, and Len. Bitcoin is a software protocol (like TCP/IP) that Satoshi created to allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without the trust or permission of anyone else. Bitcoin is currently at the second stage of the evolution of money which is a store of value. Once bitcoin's gets closer to it's true value, it could possibly move to the next stage of the evolution of money of money, which is a popular medium of exchange. Click here to see all four stages of the evolution of money. Bitcoin will remain volatile until it finds it's true value, which I expect is somewhere at 7 digits of US dollars. I'm not expecting this to happen soon but I do expect it to happen before 2033, considering over 99% of bitcoin will be mined before summer 2032.

One of the most likely known candidates for Satoshi was actually a well known cypherpunk named Len Sassaman that helped create TCP/IP, worked on PGP with the cypherpunk Phil Zimmermann, and was roommates with a cypherpunk named Bram Cohen who invented the bittorrent protocol just 4 years before Satoshi first uploaded the bitcoin whiperpaper as the ecash whitepaper. This was less than 6 months before Satoshi released bitcoin to the world and the genesis block was mined. Len also worked with another cypherpunk named Hal Finney. Hal also worked on PGP and other protocols with Len. Unfortunately Hal died from ALS in 2014. Hal also worked with Satoshi since the beginning of bitcoin, was the first other person to write bitcoin code, and Hal was mining bitcoin from day 3 of the release. Hal even received the first bitcoin transaction which was 10 BTC sent from Satoshi himself. Hal and Len also lived close to each other and were both members of the cypherpunks mailing list which is where Satoshi first publicly discussed bitcoin and where cypherpunk topics like anonymity, privacy, decentralization, reputation, and digital cash were the topics of discussion. This is also where Satoshi made the bitcoin launch announcements and the release announ

I see in some articles, they visualize which part of the brain is stimulated with tDCS? They put a picture of a brain indicating with green and red colors. What is that software exactly? Do I have to save an stimulation or just protocol values would be enough for it, like by entering the values?

How unreasonable is it to want to rewire my entire house?

So, the title kinda says it all.

I live in a 3bd2ba 1200sqft ranch that was built in the 50s, and I swear to god they hired Stevie Wonder as the electrician because the electrical work is so ass backwards. There are little hidden transformers/breakers all around the basement, and the ENTIRE kitchen and dining room (with the exception of the electric stove/oven) was on the same circuit so we kept tripping the breaker when we first moved in if we didn't unplug the microwave when it wasn't being used and the entire circuit would trip if we plugged anything in in the dining room. None of the breakers are labelled, and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to what each breaker is connected to. Lastly, there are no grounds pulled to any of the outlets, they just took out the old two-prong outlets and slapped in three-prong outlets that are ungrounded.

It seems to me my best option is just to rewire the entire damn house. Now, that being said, I'm no electrician. I have a basic understanding of electrical work (I can replace an outlet without much trouble), but this is likely a project far beyond me. I'd like to run ethernet to each room as well, but that's of little importance. I imagine this is a project that would require a professional, so how unreasonable of a job is this to do? Should I suck it up and just deal with the crappy electrical work until such a time as it either burns the house down or sends me to the asylum? Or would it be a semi-realistic proposition?

ETA: I'm trying to get to y'all's questions, but I see some common questions that I realize I didn't address. It's a one-story house, with a full basement that is open so I can get into the spaces in the walls on the first floor relatively easily. I do also have attic access, but that's a little tighter and isn't somewhere I, personally, could access easily but I have folks who would be willing to help me that could probably squeeze in there. Also, I really appreciate y'all taking the time to stop by and discuss this with me.

Why don't dating apps lead to relationships? Because they rewire your brain.

I've seen a lot of posts recently about dating, finding relationships, the gay community, and apps. And frustration and hopelessness with all of the above is a common theme. Guys are wondering why they can't find anyone, if their standards are too high, why everyone flakes.

I think a big part of it is what apps have done to our brains. And it's echoed through to other aspects of community.

This is what I mean:

  1. At any time of day, in any place, you could potentially connect with someone new. That connection produces a dopamine hit--a rush of excitement and pleasure.

  2. That pleasure and that random chance create a compulsion. Not an addiction per se, but a little itch. That itch only really gets scratched by a new connection.

  3. But once you've met someone--and been on a date or two--there are other kinds of pleasures that come. However, they're sometimes more subtle, and there's no gamified system, like an app, to keep us playing.

  4. So invariably we don't connect, or we lose interest, or we tire in other ways. But it's OK, because the apps provide a whole sea of further new connections.

  5. Repeat.

It's not that we're all flakes, or that we're all shallow (I promise, haha). It's that our culture is kinda swept up in a system that makes it really easy and really addictive to make a new connection and much less fun to keep exploring the ones we have.

So a question: if you're single, and on apps, what can you do to keep them from rewiring you?

How can I manage a set of medical protocols that has dynamic content? Need software advice.

Hi all:

TL:DR I'm a paramedic that manages a huge set of documents and what I'm using right now isn't working. HALP.

Tons of info included below because I typed it all out for engineer brother's assistance and thought it might be helpful in answering questions.

###

Accidental medical writer here: please forgive my incorrect terminology at any point as I fell into this job because I have a good vocabulary and I like styling documents. I'm hoping that industry professionals can point me in the right direction regarding software/platform/CMS.

I am responsible for a "protocol set" of documents (~300-ish?) that is often changed, most often minor changes (e.g. Morphine dosage for sedation is now 0.25 mg/kg instead of 0.2 mg/kg) driven by medical research, our medical director's request, supply availability (thank you COVID), etc. Right now when changes are made it's a horribly gluggy process...safe to say it includes Microsoft Word, pushing to PDF, and reassembling a really huge document that's then pushed out to a lot of different places. Blech.

I earned the right to be responsible for this task because I'm really good at copyediting; 4 years later I'm a paramedic trying to figure out if MadCap Flare or FrameMaker (or something else) is the best software to recommend to my boss. He really likes Adobe, but I'm the main writer/editor. Is FrameMaker really the best option? He's touting its interface with Adobe Experience Manager, saying that it would be useful to us.

I on the other hand just figured out WordPress. Woo. /s

Info:

End-users are street paramedics that use these documents as a reference for off-line medical control; e.g. what the doctor in charge says they are allowed to do with certain types of patients. They most often utilize it on phones/tablets, so search ability is critical and the need for pinch/zoom to read PDFs is difficult because of gloves.

  • ~300 documents (individual "protocols") organized into relevant folders (could change, maybe tags?)
    • *Ex: Clinical Policies, Operational Policies, Adult Medical, Pediatric Medical, Trauma, Procedures, Appendices
  • Entire protocol set is presently in Word, being pushed to PDF when needed *groan*
  • Organization has Adobe Acrobat and Office365.
  • Very few people work on these documents, most are view-only.

Needs:

  • Need ability to push to PDF or something printable at any point (state law)
  • Version review and way to document changes made
  • Search is critical
  • Sunset

I bring you the Holy Grail of Moonshots. Dev Protocol. $6mil mkt cap, Microsoft startup partners, bringing defi to Open Source Software.

Founded by Frame00, a Japanese tech start up which formed in 2015, Dev Protocol was born.

https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/frame00https://devprotocol.xyz/

Frame00 received ~$380,000 in funding to bolster development of this new, hushed project which aims to tokenize github and create a new way to fund the creator economy. Microsoft startups got involved and is helping them tokenize github, makes sense, as Github is owned by Microsoft.

https://news.microsoft.com/announcement/microsoft-acquires-github/

For years open source has gone severely underfunded and forgotten about -- people use the products and never think twice to donate. It's clear the system is broken, and not viable long term. In 2019, Word Press, which powers a huge portion of the internet received a whopping $9000 in funding. This is where Dev Protocol comes in. Utilizing the power of decentralized finance and tightly knit communities, they have managed to onboard some of the biggest names in Open Source Software already, and it's working! Using the power of defi and crowd-funding (staking) they have raised ONE MILLION DOLLARS in less than a year!, completely organically, with zero marketing.

This is the path of least resistance for OSS.

  • Vue (massive front end library used by many fortune 500 companies staking on Dev Protocol)

https://github.com/vuejs/vue

https://stakes.social/0xcEBD1BF31DF3E3697Ea26e2F94F9E3644C809F46

  • Vyper (python implementation of Solidity, Ethereum's coding language staking on Dev Protocol)

https://stakes.social/0x90168f9Ba07B95f629f8b77F789d46A549d6470F

https://github.com/vyperlang/vyper

  • Chalk (8 Million + GitHub users, staking on Dev Protocol)

Additionally, other defi projects are starting to take notice of Dev Protocol, for instance, a yearn.finance strategy was recently implemented for dev protocol's vyper staking, which routes money through dev protocol to increase APY for yearn finance participants. Dev is another lego in the defi legos analogy. [https://twitter.com/devprtcl/status/1351326508921585664?s=20](https://twitter.com/devprtcl/status/1
