the most entertaining outcome is the most likely..

Elixir + Phoenix is amazing. It's one self-contained stack. Just Elixir processes (and Postgres) which takes care of everything other ecosystems farm out to extra services. Background jobs, real-time channels, and even hot-code deployments run natively within the same BEAM runtime.

Working with this with a small team with one simple stack is a breath of fresh air in today's world.

Elixir + Phoenix?

He did what he said he would. It was a prearranged agreement many people thought was unreachable, and he did.

I find it inspiring that he has long term visions and executes to implement, what people would consider, insane goals over decades. I feel this is what makes Elon stand out, and worthy of the pay day, especially when you pull off what you said you would.

Looks at least 66% for yes if you go by Elon's post https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1801084780035154058/photo/1

Quantized inertia might be worth looking into. Proposed by Mike McCulloch https://twitter.com/memcculloch/status/1179077969345732608

The mental cost of a transaction is a really interesting point.

However, why couldn’t we have both options be available?

If there is one film on a streaming service that I know I’d like to watch, but don’t want to commit to $10 a month just to watch the first 30 mins of, why can’t I pay for the minutes of the media I watch instead?

This also could be an interesting monetization method for creators who make videos on YouTube who dislike adverts. I’d be more happy to pay to support the creators directly, if I knew they’d get a good cut.

I don’t think it’s fair to say that humans don’t like micro transactions as we’ve never been able to try it in the real world. Sure, they might not work for everything, but they may allow for new things to flourish. Things that cost $0.001 cents for example.

They don’t have to be what you described. The BSV network does more transactions each day than any other network at a magnitude less cost. Less cost in both user end and CO2.

They also allow for micro transactions in a way we’ve not been able to do so far.

You can use the original Bitcoin protocol to stream (and pay) for each packet of data. We can now make a pay-to-use netflix, something we haven’t done yet. https://xiaohuiliu.medium.com/netflix-over-bitcoin-payment-c...

This.

There was a demo of node software that is capable of 50,000 transactions per second just a few weeks ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3As9-9uSXs

(Yes this is on the Bitcoin SV implementation of the Bitcoin protocol - where they're using the original protocol that Satoshi envisioned)

Sidenote: What a cool personal blog. Started in 2009 and still going strong. Inspirational!

I've been working on an MacOS and iOS app to do just this if you have an older iPhone lying around. https://telecast.camera/

I've been using it to record multicam music performances/practice sessions as I didn't have an expensive DSLR. The latency of other solutions was too high to easily sync guitar strumming and audio-in from an audio interface.

I'd love feedback! Things like the linked network are of interest, as I'd like to add support for background replacement in the future, too.

Really welcome changes! These small quality of life improvements really make a difference.

Where do I wire the money?

More fuel on the fire for the anti-competitive narrative regardless what the outcome is.
