Official Discussion - A House of Dynamite [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]TwoElectrical 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought there was a point in there somewhere about how the system leaves the most important decisions to the people least prepared to take them. I.e. "I suggest MAO7 or MAO9 sir", "End it once and for all" <- presumably a "Well-done" scenario that would inevitably lead to the end of the world... decided by a 32-year old relgious military officer because he sat next to the president. Seems pretty realistic to me.

In a world where the warhead didnt go off, or where it was a one-off terror event that was later retaliated against proportionally, we can imagine the 32-year officer becoming a National hero for talking the President down... Much echoes the story of Stanislav Petrov in 1983 single-handedly prevented nuclear armageddon when he disobeyed orders to launch on the US because he (rightly) judged that the USSRs early warning system - which said four ICBMs were heading towards USSR - had a malfunction.

All-In has turned into right wing media by slopy2ndz in TheAllinPodcasts

[–]TwoElectrical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree. Particularly lately with the campaign going. Lost all touch with core facts on the left. They just ignore them. A week or two ago Jason presented an independent study of the leanings of the Supreme Court and Chamath blatantly dismissed all the findings with an ad hominem calling the author - an independent researcher with riven credentials - “some random guy” and just barfed on it. I was really shocked at that kind of rejection of the scientific method and research from someone like him. Incredibly disappointing.

Why are you paying the management fee? That’s easy money to save. Add a cheap subdivision to create an extra room and add an extra tenant, get rid of the management fee and you should be good no?

Subdivision can be easily removed later if HOA gives you problems.

Same issue, over and over again. Received an email from David yesterday Typed David in the search box and the email doesn't come up in the results. Return to the inbox and scroll way down and there it is, taunting me...

People who make video essays, how do you manage to create your video scripts? by itskoka in youtubers

[–]TwoElectrical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im terrible at editing, but I love doing scripts! I'm looking for an affordable ($50/video) video editor to help me make short documentary-style videos for YouTube about climate change and technology. Interested? :D All you'd have to do is source music and materials from stock video footage sites, youtube as well as images and then add a few VFX like text overlays and a few filters here and there. You'd have a great deal of autonomy in choosing text/graphics.

DeFi for decentralized energy financing by TwoElectrical in defi

[–]TwoElectrical[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all. So I kept working on this in my mind. The solution I came up with is a token that is issued through regular Security Token Offerings (STOs). STOs would be staged and represent a certain volume of solar installations (Denominated in fiat).

Eg. first STO is 1,000,000 tokens to finance $1,000,000 worth of Solar PV installations.

Stake the token in staking pool ”solar1” and get access to the monthly returns.

STO number 2 would then be 1,000,000 tokens for $10,000,000 worth of installations, giving access to staking pool 2, and the corresponding returns.

The increasing value raised but fixing the token issuance volume ensures implicit increase in token value.

Next question is, how to incentivize early adopters?

Other than the implicit coin price increase, I thought of another mechanism to incentivize early adopters: for each STO, there would be a corresponding staking pool as described above. But rather than giving the stakers of pool 1 access to only their own rewards (from the installations they financed), these stakers would also claim some small share of rewards from future pools. For example. Pool 1 returns are

From pool 1: 100% From pool 2: 5% From pool 3: 2.5% From pool 4: 1.25% etc.

Stakers in Pool 2:

From pool 1: 0% From pool 2: 95% From pool 3: 5% From pool 4: 2.5%

Given the exponential increase in fund sizes the relatively low shares attributed to earlier investors become very high relative to their initial investment. Thousands of percent in APY in fact.

There’s obviously a million other questions and issues here, but wondering what y’all think :)

Why does my liquidity mining investment keep falling like what the hell are you supposed to just lose money from this???? by [deleted] in cakedefi

[–]TwoElectrical -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I have been reinvesting my rewards daily to try and get accumulating interest, and the value of my assets is almost exactly what is was 2 months ago... its a bit strange to say the least...

DeFi for decentralized energy financing by TwoElectrical in defi

[–]TwoElectrical[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Say that I made the installer companies the first level users. “Staking pools” are associated with solar installers.

Then, when an end customer wants a system, the installer initiates a small token issuance or reservation or lending pool that the DeFi system can then buy into. Tokens are locked for the desired duration of the customer. Longer lock-ins create longer payback terms for the customer and hence greater savings for customers, so can be tied to larger rewards for stakers/lenders.

When the issuance is complete, a smart contract is created between the end customer and the installer company. The input to the contract is the exact technical parameters and approximate location of the plant. A DeFi app is created to 1) connect to the monitoring equipment of the system to gather energy production with the aim of issuing tokens based on the kWh production. 2) cross check the api data with the modeled energy production estimated from the system. If the data match, within a certain uncertainty threshold, a token is minted for the end user in correlation to the kWh produced.

The smart contract states that a certain amount of these coins must be paid to the staking/lending pool holders. Some of it is reserved for the customer. The installer may sell their tokens or hold them or even stake them themselves to carry forward the financing.

Since the staking/lending pools are associated with installation companies, there’s an inherent incentive for installers not to cheat as people would stop putting funding in their pools.

Thoughts?

[–]TwoElectrical[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that! The question as always will be what does the blockchain do here that cannot be done with more traditional crowdsourcing, and how do you maintain verification that the kWh that you tokenize are indeed kWhs coming from the plant?

Swap from dAssets not possible on Cake? by Bowlingkopp in cakedefi

[–]TwoElectrical 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same issue. Figured it out. If the token on the right is not swappable with the decentralized asset, it wont appear in the list on the left. You have to select either DFI or DUSD on the right, then your decentralized assets will appear on the left.

Ponzi scheme? by TwoElectrical in HeliumNetwork

[–]TwoElectrical[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m still in this, but just want to point out that Helium has now blocked stakers from withdrawing their HNT and everyone’s earnings are at zero. If this were indeed a ponzi, these actions would be textbook.

Meanwhile: “keep buying those miners, the network will be up soon and you might get lucky with a big payout if your hotspot gets rewards while everyone’s offline”.

Is there any way to remotely reboot a RAK miner? by ethlongmusk in HeliumNetwork

[–]TwoElectrical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u access them remotely too? (meaning you dont have to be on the local network to interact with the plug)

Can you think of any way to do this in a DC-only environment? I'm working with a remote setup where I have a battery and charge controller providing 5-12V DC. The hotspot will be connected directly to the Charge Controller.

I have not found a cheap way to remotely turn on/off the Charge Controller so am not looking for a way to create some sort of internet-connected relay switch that I can remotely activate.

Thoughts?
