NEW ORDINALS COLLECTION: RUNERS Chapter 0: The Emergence of... RuneChain Ethereum and Solana, you’ve been great, but memecoins aren’t meant for testnets. It’s time for memecoins to go mainnet. → RuneChain is a Bitcoin L2 that scales Bitcoin for Runes trading. Turbocharged by the Bitcoin Virtual Machine infrastructure, it’s made for mass adoption with a rock bottom $0.001 average transaction fee and a nimble 1-second block time. Chapter 1: The Runers In the ancient days, Viking warriors sailed the treacherous seas, driven by the thrill of exploration and victory, leaving behind a legacy that continued through the ages. Runes are said to have magical powers and were often used in mystical and religious practices by the Vikings. The earth changed with time, but the Viking spirit persisted. Their descendants - Runers discovered themselves at the frontline of a brand-new frontier in the digital age: the world of Runes. Chapter 2: The Quest for $RUNIX In the heart of RuneChain lay a mysterious token known as $RUNIX. Born from the fusion of ancient runes and cutting-edge technology, $RUNIX holds the promise of untold riches and prosperity. But mining $RUNIX is no easy task! Chapter 3: The Mining $RUNIX Expedition Inspired by their ancestors' spirit of exploration and discovery, the Runers set out on a quest to mine the future of RuneChain. The Runers are entitled to earn ██% of $RUNIX through mining, with the remaining ██% received via airdrop. 100% allocation of $RUNIX is for the community. No VCs, token sales, or team allocation. Regarding mining, the Runers take a dominant advantage thanks to their boosts. If you can assemble a mining squad with GOD-level characters (Odin, Thor, Loki,...), your mining rewards will be multiplied hundreds of times! Chapter 4: How to Become a Runer To join the companions, you must first hold a Runer —a fully on-chain art typography collection inspired by the Rune alphabet.

Anti-mining protests that have roiled Panama for the last... two weeks turned deadly on Tuesday when a man allegedly shot and killed two demonstrators, according to police. A chilling video posted by bystanders on X, formerly known as Twitter, showed a disheveled elderly man apparently frustrated with the logjam trying to force the protestors to remove a barrier blocking the Pan American highway about 50 miles south of the capital, before pulling out a pistol and opening fire. Panama’s National Police later said they arrested the suspected gunman at the scene of the shooting. Other footage showed people standing around bodies in the road in the Chame sector west of Panama City as well as the gunman being cuffed and led to a squad car. Police later shared a photo of the suspect handcuffed to a pipe as he was identified as Kenneth Darlington, 77, a lawyer and professor who holds dual citizenship in the US and Panama, according to Newsroom Panama and Agence France-Presse. One of the shot protesters died at the scene while the second was pronounced dead at a local hospital, AFP said. The unusual scene of violence is the latest flashpoint in some of the largest protests to hit the Central American nation since Panamanians flooded the streets en masse to demonstrate against the dictatorship of Manuel Noriega in the 1980s. For weeks, tens of thousands of protestors have vented their fury at a controversial mining contract given to Minera Panama, the local subsidiary of a Canadian mining company, to extract copper, a key component in electric car batteries. The contract allows Canada’s First Quantum Minerals to restart an open-pit copper mine surrounded by rain forest for the next 20 years, with the possibility of extending for another 20 years. Environmentalists say the mine could contaminate drinking water and devastate tracts of the 32,000 acres the company negotiated use of, in exchange for yearly payments of $375 million. . . . #TheTatva #TatvaNews #US #Panama #Shooting #Protest #Shoot #Fire #People #Mine #Mining #Deadly #ENvironment #Traffic #Grandpa #Old #Lawyer #Police #Arrestshow more

Powering America’s Copper Comeback | Airing on BNN Bloomberg... and FOX Business Copper is the backbone of energy transition — yet the United States faces a looming shortage of this critical metal. Arizona Sonoran Copper Company (ASCU) is answering that challenge head-on with the advancement of its Cactus Project, located just outside Phoenix, Arizona. Once a historic open-pit mine, the site now stands as one of the most developable copper projects in the country — offering existing infrastructure, robust economics, and a clear path to near-term production. With a published pre-feasibility study outlining a long-life, low-cost operation, Arizona Sonoran is positioning itself as a cornerstone of America’s copper resurgence. As the U.S. looks to strengthen domestic supply chains and onshore critical materials, ASCU’s Cactus Project is on track to support the nation’s clean energy future - responsibly and efficiently. 🔗 Learn more about how Arizona Sonoran is fueling the next chapter of U.S. mining:show more

The biggest Bitcoin miners on earth are quietly walking... away from mining Bitcoin, and the reason is not the one everyone keeps repeating. They are not fleeing a dead business. They lost an auction for their own power, and the winner was artificial intelligence. Start with the brutal arithmetic. It now costs the average public miner around $80,000 in cash to produce a single Bitcoin, and for stretches of this year $BTC traded below that. The most efficient operators on the cheapest power still clear a margin, but an estimated 15 to 20 percent of the global fleet is mining at a loss right now, burning more in power than the coins are worth the second they are minted. Three straight downward difficulty adjustments earlier this year, the first such streak since 2022, were the footprint of machines going dark. That looks like a simple story of a broken business until you see the number that explains the exodus. The same megawatt of power that earns a Bitcoin miner roughly $1 million a year earns between $10 and $20 million a year hosting AI compute. Ten to twenty times more, for the identical electricity, substation, and cooling. What made industrial miners valuable was never the mining. It was the power contracts, the land, the grid interconnects. AI walked in and bid an order of magnitude higher for exactly those assets. Mining did not fail. It got outbid for its own infrastructure. When Core Scientific runs its BTC segment at a negative margin while its AI colocation business prints money, the decision writes itself. CoinShares estimates listed miners could pull up to 70 percent of their revenue from AI by year end, up from about 30 percent. The power is being repriced to its highest use, and Bitcoin lost the bidding. If the giants leave, what happens to the network they secured? The doom posts assume it weakens. It does not, because Bitcoin has a self-healing reflex written into its core. When miners switch off, blocks slow, and within two weeks difficulty automatically drops, which makes mining cheaper and more profitable for everyone still running. The security does not vanish, it relocates, and you can already see where. State-backed pools are appearing, with one Gulf operator reportedly standing up a national pool near 3 percent of global hashrate, alongside private fleets and the handful of public miners like Marathon still choosing to buy Bitcoin rather than lease their power away. The network even hit an all-time high above one zettahash this year as the pivot accelerated. It does not need any particular miner. It needs someone, somewhere, for whom the math still works, and cheap stranded power has no shortage of those. But there is a deeper timer here, and the AI pivot just exposed it. Today miners earn almost everything from the block subsidy and almost nothing from fees, often under one percent of revenue on a quiet day. That subsidy halves again in 2028, and every four years after, marching toward zero. For Bitcoin to pay for its own security forever, fees eventually have to replace it. The open question is whether they can, and the evidence cuts both ways. On busy days, during token launches and inscription waves, fees have already spiked past 15 percent of revenue, and in 2024 some blocks earned more in fees than the entire subsidy. The capacity is there in bursts. Whether bursts become a baseline is the single most important unanswered question in Bitcoin. The AI exodus did not create that question. It pulled the cover off it years early, and showed how fast capital abandons hashing the moment something pays more. So the honest read is not that AI kills Bitcoin mining. It is stranger than that. AI is the first bidder rich enough to reveal what Bitcoin's security was always quietly worth, and what it will cost to keep once the free coins stop coming. The miners are not abandoning a sinking ship. They are selling the deck to a higher bidder while the same clock everyone forgot about keeps ticking underneath.show more

Everything’s bigger in Texas... and after seeing this, I’m... convinced that’s not just a saying, it’s an absolute fact. Over at Cooper's Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que in Llano, Texas, somebody looked at a regular pork chop and said, “Nah... make it Texas.” I’m talking a pork chop so massive it looks unreal. 🤯 Cooked over an open flame until the outside has that perfect bark, while the inside stays juicy enough that every bite looks like it should come with dramatic movie music playing in the background.🔥 This thing quit being a pork chop somewhere along the way and turned into a full-blown Texas experience. What’s the one meal you’ve seen that made you instantly think.....I don’t care how full I am... Bring it On?show more

DJ Dibul was assaulted by his wife but everyone... is making fun of him. A man’s calm demeanor should never give any woman the impression that she can slap or abuse him. Violence is violence, regardless of gender. Yet men who speak out are shamed, silenced, or dismissed. It’s time for men to defend their dignity. Start beating the shit out of these women who think they are strong enough to beat men. We need to speak openly about abuse. We need to reject the stereotype that men cannot be victims. We need to challenge a culture that protects one gender and ridicules the other. This is not about fighting women. It’s about demanding fairness, equality, and respect for men too. Society must stop treating male pain as a joke. Men must stop suffering in silence. It's time to guide ur frame,, enough is enough!!!show more

For the first time in forever, Coimbatore is faster... from Mangalore via the coast than through the hills. Kannur bits are pending. Kozhikode to Palakkad leaves these roads for busy and slow two track roads. But the rest is so perfect, it feels like an AI imagined template. Very drivable with a stop in Kozhikode for lunch. Building vast open expressways in barren landscape is one thing. But building them through the density of Kerala is an insane feat for any country on earth let alone India. Great marking, speed limits, driving etiquette. Super job Nitin Gadkari MORTHINDIA . Can we have this continue through Karnataka till Madgaon where the rest of Konkan north of that begins. It’s will be an insane west coast driving experience through the length of India’s peninsula. Ashwini Vaishnaw is surely going to introduce a VB from CBE to MAQ and work on a west coast railway zone. Kerala journeys have great occupancy and CBE and MAQ are a traditional city pair with huge people movement between them. You can’t be not planning this right now.show more

Yesterday’s heavy rains brought tragedy. A wall collapsed, crushing... the mother of these newborn puppies along with one tiny baby. 💔 A few little ones survived… but they are far too young to survive on their own without their mother’s warmth, milk, and care.

These fragile souls deserve a chance to live. Please open your heart —your support can be the difference between life and death for them. Donate ₹2000 (or whatever you can) via Pytm/Google Pay: 7042677382 Every small act of compassion brings hope to those who cannot even ask for help themselves. Let’s not let these babies suffer more loss. #dogsshow more

When an abandoned Pit Bull turned its face to... the wall every time a family stopped at its kennel, and I learned why, it broke something quiet in me. By the twelfth family, people at Briar County Animal Rescue had stopped calling it a coincidence. They called him rude. Or damaged. Or one of those dogs who “just doesn’t want people.” He was a stocky brown-and-white Pit Bull, maybe four years old, with a broad head, one torn ear, and the kind of stillness that made strangers uneasy because it looked too deliberate to be fear. His shelter card said Male. Neutered. Good health. Found abandoned near county road. His intake photo showed him staring directly into the camera, eyes amber and alert, ribs just faintly visible beneath short fur. But by the time families came to meet him, that dog from the photo had vanished. The kennel door would rattle. A child would point. A mother would bend down and say in the bright, hopeful voice people use when they want love to happen on schedule, “Look at this sweet boy.” And the Pit Bull would turn around. Not slowly. Not shyly. Decisively. He would walk to the back wall, sit with his shoulders squared, and face the cinder block as if the people standing ten feet behind him had already become a memory he preferred not to keep. The reaction was always the same. At first, confusion. Then awkward laughter. Then disappointment, which in shelters hardens quickly into judgment because there is always another kennel, another dog, another chance to be chosen without being made uncomfortable first. One man muttered that the dog was mean. A teenage boy said it looked ungrateful. A woman in a camel coat whispered to the volunteer beside her, “Why would anyone adopt a dog that won’t even look at you?” The volunteer had no answer. Neither did Kayla Moreno, the shelter’s adoption coordinator, though she tried. Kayla was thirty-one, compact, sharp-eyed, and the sort of woman who kept spare leashes looped over one arm and dog treats in every jacket pocket she owned. She had seen fear biters, shut-down seniors, clingy owner surrenders, and wild strays who mistook affection for a trap. But this was different. This dog did not panic. He did not bark. He did not tremble or lunge or cower. He simply refused to participate in hope. That made people angrier than open aggression ever could. By the end of the week, the Pit Bull had become a small ugly legend inside the shelter. Staff called him Winston because every dog needed a name, but visitors started referring to him as “the one who turns away.” Children lost interest in under a minute. Adults shrugged and moved on. A rescue partner declined to pull him because dogs with “poor kennel presentation” did badly in foster pipelines. One older volunteer, tired and not unkind, said what several others had already begun to suspect. “Maybe he just doesn’t deserve a home if he keeps doing this.” Kayla hated the sentence the moment it landed, but what unsettled her more was that part of her was starting to resent him too. Twelve families. Twelve chances. Twelve times he had chosen a wall over a hand reaching for him. Then one night, after the shelter closed and the last mop bucket had been rolled away, Kayla pulled up the security footage on a hunch she could not explain. And what she saw after midnight changed the whole story.show more

The k- drama We Are All Trying Here is... a must watch I know some people will watch one episode and call it boring. Because It’s not fast paced. It’s slice of life in the most literal sense people sitting in rooms with their envy, their 20 year old dreams that never launched, their friends who made it while they didn’t. It’s quiet. It’s slow. It lingers on silences. But that’s exactly why it gutted me. Because this show understands the war you don’t talk about. The one where you open Instagram at 2am and feel like a failure. Where you’ve been “trying” for years and the world still doesn’t know your name. Hwang Dong-man, twenty years into film school, still no debut. Byeon Eun-ah, called “The Axe” because she has to kill other people’s dreams for a living. Everyone in this drama is carrying some private worthlessness, some comparison they can’t shake. It’s not entertaining in the way K-dramas usually are. It’s uncomfortable. It holds up a mirror to the parts of you that feel behind, bitter, unseen. But that’s why it’s so relatable. That’s why I think everyone should watch it. On the outside, life looks fine but inside, everyone is struggling in their own way. And I think that’s what makes it so relatable. We spend so much time pretending we’re fine, pretending we’re winning. We Are All Trying Here just. admits it. We’re all scared we’re wasting our lives. We are all anxious. We’re all trying here. And maybe that’s enough to start with. #Wearealltryinghereshow more

satoshi never existed. nobody writes code like that. not... that clean, not that surgical. the early bitcoin codebase doesn’t read like code from some anonymous guy on the internet. bitcoin's early codebase looks like it was handed to us. the whitepaper came out six weeks after the 2008 crash. that's not enough time to dream up a working distributed consensus system, let alone build one. then there’s secp256k1. not secp256r1, the curve everybody used. k1 was obscure, weird, and a terrible choice if you were just following convention. but it also happened to be one of the hardest to backdoor. and then satoshi disappears. roughly a million btc, untouched. people don’t walk away from that kind of money unless the money was never the point. because maybe bitcoin was never just money. what it actually did was create a global incentive to build compute. millions of people, in every country, pouring capital into hardware and electricity to chase block rewards. no state could have coordinated it that fast. no company could have justified it. a protocol paying out internet money gets people moving. then nvidia happened. the same GPUs pushed into the world for mining turned out to be perfect for large-scale parallel compute. the same hardware appetite bitcoin created ended up helping make modern deep learning possible. bitcoin launches in 2009. imagenet breaks things open in 2012. three years. bitcoin was the bootloader. and we’ve been running the install script.show more

hyunsuk and jihoon snuck into the dorms at lunch... scared the staff would catch them eating ramen in secret but got even more scared when the door opened but nobody was there + it wont close on its own as it should 😭 #최현석 #지훈 (at 11:52 of the content) 🦔 (heard the sound of door code pressed, door opening and shoes taken off but the sound stopped there and nobody came in) 🦔 we thought someone arrived… tbh that time we snuck out without the staff knowing so we were alr scared 🦔 “oh we cant get caught though” so we both froze for awhile and tbh when we were trainees, they were very strict… 🦔 we were gonna eat ramen in secret that time so we hid it and figured out what to do and when we settled down, no one came in. 🦔 (said they’d hear it if they went somewhere) 🦔 from then on, bc jihoon and i get scared so easily, were like “you go!” “no, you go” and argued for about 10 mins cos we get easily scared. 🦔 i eventually went out to check but there was no one near the shoe rack and the funny thing is it was just jihoon and i, just the two of us so there should only be two pairs of shoes, though there were untiedied shoes too, but there was another pair of shoes that weren’t there when we came in. so we wondered if someone came in quietly but in the end it’s really just the two of us inside the dorms. 🦔 and what was scarier was that like in most apartment buildings, the front door force closes so strongly so if you dont hold it open, it would automatically close right? ours is the same. it wasnt even left on a veryain angle but it stayed open… 🦔 so we spent another 10 mins arguing again and i went outside thinking someone must be holding on to it but there really was no one there. so we tried closing and opening it at that angle again and let go of it but it would close definitely. it doesnt make sense right? 🦔 so thats when i first understood it when people say when you’re truly scared, you cant even scream, you just freeze. 🦔 after we snapped out of it, we wer able to check the intercom footage, but nobody got off the elevator, nobody came up the stairs either, it just showed the door opening by itself like this so we were absolutely terrified and i think we left right away.show more

Catwoman uses a grapple gun to zip up to... buildings and she has a built in wingsuit. #LegoBatmanGame We already knew this, I just wanted to see it in action in a free roam setting. I’ve started to make my peace with it somewhat. I’ve already made my peace with the wing suit, but the grapple will take and getting used to only because I think she should be able to utilize her whip as the grapple and please do not give me that thing about “it’s not long enough” she was able to utilize it in the Arkham games (please see my attached screenshot reference of me literally playing Arkham city right now and the whip length) and it didn’t even properly wrap around things and the length was inconsistent when she used it to get to the top of buildings I’m not saying that she needs to be able to scale the buildings like she doesn’t ask them because I understand the movement will not work like that in this game giving the open world, but it will be very nice if her grapple to zip up to buildings was replaced with her whip. It’s a Lego game who cares about the inconsistent lengths of the whip? Regardless, I am super super excited and I cannot wait to get this game in my hands on the 19thshow more

This guy built a mini AI farm out of... 4 Nvidia boxes It does not look like a data center. It looks like a stack of small machines sitting next to a laptop. But each box is a DGX Spark with Grace Blackwell inside, 128GB unified memory, and enough room to run models normal gaming GPUs cannot even open. Using the launch price from the article, 4 of them is almost $12,000 of local AI compute on one desk. That sounds expensive until you compare it to cloud GPUs. A serious AI builder can burn $1,500 to $3,000 a month renting A100s and H100s for client work, fine-tunes, agents and 70B models. He basically moved that bill from the cloud into hardware he owns. 4 Nvidia boxes. 512GB unified memory. No hourly meter running in the background. No rented GPUs eating the margin every time an agent runs too long. The funny part is most people still think local AI means a slow laptop running a toy model. Meanwhile guys like this are stacking compute at home. Save this, local AI is turning into the new mining farm.show more
