The amount of energy spent in #ProofOfWork is proportional to the expected reward ! Faster/Slower hashing algorithms do not make any difference.

@MichaelAArouet 20+ years of politics pivoting around central spending and more taxes. No surprise production level decrease and no foreign capital want to invest here. Also bureaucracy is pure madness.

This is really eye-opening, Italy lost two decades. Italians today earn less in real terms than 20 years ago. Seriously, will politicians ever admit that the euro's introduction in Italy was an epic failure, or will they keep pretending nothing happened?

Tell me it isn't ... if you dare.

@CipherResearchx After @DriftProtocol hack this needs a serious update

DeFi exploits in 2026 so far: Step Finance → $27.3M Truebit → $26.2M Resolv → $25M+ (today) SwapNet → $13.4M YieldBlox → $10.97M SagaEVM → $7M Makina → $5M IoTeX → $4.4M Aperture Finance → $3.7M Venus Protocol → $3.7M CrossCurve → $2.8M Solv Protocol → $2.7M FOOMCASH → $2.3M Moonwell → $1.8M TMX → $1.4M Total exploited since Jan 2026: ~$137M+ It's only March.

@NoToDigitalID @DontTraceMeBruh Italy here: the limit is 5000 Euros since years.

NEW: The EU just banned cash payments over €10,000 and will require KYC for every Crypto transaction starting 2027.

@MattP1Gallagher Which battles ? Passes and re-passes thank to battery drain. What is to enjoy ?

After today’s Grand Prix… are we a fan of the racing or not? I personally really enjoyed the battles we saw today

This is what economic suicide looks like;

@fortifoursi This WAS racing x.com/klaasm67/statu…

Are you actually telling me there are people who would rather watch everyone sit behind each other complaining it’s impossible to pass because it’s more “authentic” ? Dawg lmfao shut the hell up what we got to watch was so clear of that

In Formula One, overtaking used to take big balls. Today it just takes a full battery. #F1

@Tiametmarduk You clearly don't understand what racing is.

Not even 10 laps into the Australian Grand Prix and this feels like one of the best battles for the lead we’ve had here??? 2026 is cooking nicely.

#F1 some argue pilots were always forced to save either tyres or brakes or fuel. So what's the difference with saving and harvesting battery energy? Well let me remind them in the first case the reasoning was through an entire race with full power always available if the driver decided to. Now instead drivers must simply apply the best plot on a per lap basis as stated by their engineers. No emotion, no guts, no skills.

#F1 after this indecent show Mr Domenicali should shut up and listen or better resign.

@raagulanpathy Italian here. There's no flat tax here unless you're retired

@Alex_Gillon False. F1 has nothing to do with energy harvesting and lifting the pedal 100 meters before the braking point. This is not racing. This is tactics and engineering. Nothing more than that

Some still think it's artificial racing, but driving is not only done by turning the steering wheel and pressing the pedals, it's done in the mind as well

The F1 Australian GP lived up to the hype of the new regulations 👏 After some initial worries about extremely conservative driving, the amount of tactical racing and overtakes we saw in the race proved the doubters wrong #f1 #Formula1 #australiangp

F1 in Melbourne. From 8th place all lapped. This is ridiculous

@K_mpec80 @the_zb_ Not necessarily all cars the same. From the times of Fangio up to Schumacher and Verstappen every manufacturer had always their own project and the driver was really a differentiator. Nowadays the nonsense of green deal and energy savings have destroyed racing

@Lanfra68 @the_zb_ If you want a drivers championship, all cars should be the same. Porsche Cup Series is a great driver championship for example. Or GT3, although BOP is always a headach to adjust correctly.

There are some real misunderstandings here about the grumbling surrounding the regulations. I’ve seen several voices claiming that people upset about the regs are just “sour grapes” because it looks like Mercedes will dominate. That’s a mistaken take. People and drivers are aggrieved and extremely disappointed in the inherent NATURE of the regulations, and how the cars must be driven (not driven, as the case may be), and how heinously offensive it is to watch. That will not change no matter what the development trajectory looks like. The product on track looks offensive. It’s awful. And it’s inherent to the nature of the regs - it’s not changing. Harvesting for such electrification means a permanent and unchangeable sacrifice of driver differentiation in high speed. That is obvious at this point, the needs of the regulation mandate this. There’s no room to engineer around this, physics is physics. And that is a damning, heinous thing to watch. It’s so anti-racing and so anti-F1 that it’s an exercise in cognitive dissonance watching an onboard. I hope to goodness that we all refuse to try and condition ourselves to accept this as “normal” or just “something to get used to”. It’s not about parity, it’s not about who is in front or behind. You may or may not believe me when I say that, but this product would be no better if Ferrari were 2 seconds ahead of everyone. This is not F1. And I hope there is a swift and decisive fix, and a colossal push toward regulatory overhaul by 2029 with turbo V8’s with mild hybrid assist (turbo lag mitigation) and sustainable fuels. That is the solution.

@the_zb_ And this is the proof. Is not "the best driver" rather the one which adapts best to a nonsense technology. x.com/i/status/20303…

@Lanfra68 I’ll disagree slightly that it’s always been a heavily engineering slowed competition, but with the ability for drivers to still have great impact. That is dying, and shifting even further away from the drivers.

Maybe this a good time to rethink blockchain tech beyond tokens values and defi

From the motto "trust but verify" we've definitely lost the verify part. So many bullshit spread as truth nowadays. In crypto particularly.
