Decreasing the conversion time increases the systemic risk of complete collapse. I think it's been talked about before but lowering it less than 24 hours in basically impossible from that perspective.

Struggling to make posts but still around. Big problem with HBD is that it has zero [liquid] exchange listings and all arbitrage is done through the conversion mechanic. 3 days to convert is a long time

Ah the life of a skeleton backend builder.

Did not realize your health issues were such a major obstacle. Hopefully you have a quick recovery with the surgery and all that. More and more you remind me of a character from a 10-year old show called

-30 yikes

Nature's insecticide? Hell yeah I'm gonna drink that.

The opportunity to quit only comes around for me once and a while. Making the most of this one.

Yeah financially that play has been great with dominance being up for 3 years running. But the idea that it's literally impossible to use this technology to build another valid network is pretty cringe

As a former professional poker player I don't really see it like that at all. Everyone gets a constant stream of wins and losses. It's a lot easier to learn things from failures. Success is easy.

I don't really see the point on doing price speculation on anything else less predictable than Bitcoin... which is basically everything at this point from my perspective. Definitely a Bitcoin maxi when

I have been randomly playing Minecraft if they have any interest in that. I'm always messing around with redstone programming.

Ha. Haven't attempted it since last we spoke. I was doing very well on the practice runs though I'll jump back in and dust off the rust.

yeah I feel like I should have paid more attention to the dev posts over the months preceding

Ah yes the convergent curve it all feels like a fever dream. Guess I'll have to look at my own posts on that to remember exactly how that went down.

Beta... indeed. Sometimes I feel like Hive witnesses should all be full on companies that all have custom internal governance structures.

Yes when changes like this go into effect and people like me don't even know about them until the day of the hardfork it's pretty bad. Although that's also what we signed up for: a kind of digital republic

Ah man the poor tax yes that does sound familiar which one was that again? Poor tax is not how I remember it but the analogy is apt iirc. Kinda surprised you're more vocal about this issue than 26% reduction

I vote 20 times a day. Now my vote power is 0%. Behavior didn't change. Sorry do you want behavior to change or not I can't tell from these responses. If you could go ahead and name one single hardfork

You're just making stuff up show me these accounts and the change in the behavior. Nothing is going to change these bots are already programmed and there's no reason to change them to do the kind of stupid

Ah yeah that makes sense I haven't been in that position for a while my 100% is always over $1. in 2021 I was up to $10+ upvotes that was insane.
