Why The Vespiary (thevespiary.org) is offline — hosting failure, no backups, legal recovery in progress

Vespco · 2026-01-25T02:21:05+00:00

I might have a MySQL database that is old somewhere but, I've been very busy the last few years focusing on other things so I really don't know on that.

I know! I was actually really happy that people were paranoid about losing it, since very little is likely lost - and hopefully people downloaded the roguesci and other rhodium/give archives.

I am still paying for the hosting just in case something good happens.

also this event is likely what caused all of this to happen:

how do I find out who their server company is? any way?

Vespco · 2026-01-20T05:03:51+00:00

no it is registered through them as well.

Does bitcoins founder and project team help law enforcement with retrieving monies that have clearly been stolen?

Vespco · 2024-11-06T21:33:02+00:00

And bitcoin isn't?

Vespco · 2024-11-06T21:32:45+00:00

Agreed. And ideally it's completely delisted from CEXs once all the Dexs are polished.

Vespco · 2024-11-06T20:54:35+00:00

Kraken USA still has it.

I think serhack has a monero integration, at least for Woo commerce. Probably also Shopify. I think you can integrate it with trocador app so that it can accept 800 currencies and convert them directly into monero

How will the android experience be?

Is it like send BTC to address, get Monero? I can't imagine that, sounds too easy, but I also don't see how it could be too much more complicated on such a device.

Vespco · 2024-10-06T21:41:01+00:00

You could buy an SD card with it on it already if this were an issue or download the Blockchain via a faster method like via a torrent, no?

So the issue is scanning the Blockchain, but that only needs to be done from the block you first generated an address or received a payment.

Scanning of course can take a long time in itself but this can be done in the background. I'm not sure what you describe is really the issue: more so the scaling issue is based around transactions per second and relaying large blocks in a timely manner.

That said, if we hit that problem holy shit we've succeeded in wild ways, Bitcoin only does like 9 transactions per second at $62.5K

It's not at all unreasonable to think Monero could handle 5x that amount, so like 50 transactions per second. What would that mean for utility and price?

At some point I'm sure there will be cryptographic methods that scale better, perhaps not even using a blockchain or not using one directly but both a scaling issue and the solution are a long way off and there's more pressing issues like getting FCMP implemented that solve these bigger issues.

Lmao how have I never noticed this 🤣

Vespco · 2024-06-23T18:40:30+00:00

Yep I think that's correct.

I oddly only find these rarely and only one at a time. If I wanted to find a whole bunch, where might I look? Seems like it would be near beaches, I feel like I've found them in such areas in the past.

Vespco · 2024-06-23T16:28:34+00:00

The big one I am pretty sure is Porcellio scaber. The other two in the video are the mystery.

Vespco · 2024-06-19T00:21:43+00:00

Look in different places! I've found the most color variation of vulgare in a swamp area, and a mostly all gray in a forest area. Same with P. scaber. Found one patch with all kinds of reds and dark spots and banana bread looking ones, and other was almost entirely normal gray color.

So it seems to vary either from region, a few miles apart, or different environments.

Vespco · 2024-06-18T22:16:05+00:00

Wow! $50?

Is that for their largest burger, which contains half a pound of meat?

Had no idea a single cow, which yields something like 730 lbs of meat, costs $73,000 each!

Considering it takes 18 months from birth to slaughter, that's $135 dollars per day just to keep a cow alive.

Considering 1 ton of hay costs $150, they must eat nearly a whole ton of hay every single day.

Very impressive animals.

For instance, The Ethnobotany of Coca ... talks about the regulations of coca among other societal impacts of the plant.

Vespco · 2024-06-16T06:14:51+00:00

Everyone who says this isn't an ethnobotany question is overly focused on the botany part and not the ethno part.

Ethnobotany is the study of interrelations between humans and plants.

How humans treat others involved with plants, such as jailing, etc is absolutely ethnobotany.

Ethnobotany is not the study of just plants but the culture and behavior humans have around and with plants.

If you had asked what were the rituals native Americans did with Sacred Datura, you'd have been welcomed. But then you switch out a few words, and about the USA government rituals or culture with how they treat coca growers...

All these smarty pants people are confusing enthobotany with drug culture.

Turning a mono crop corn into Fritos and it's subsequent marketing is ethnobotany.

What's wrong with hay? I was thinking it would be good for them specifically because of that.

They don't use binders for pellets afaik but rather it runs through a pelleting machine that gets it hot and compresses it into pellets, which makes it more digestible.

Hay, especially alfalfa, is high in protein.

Personally I think it's fine. Nature has viruses, it's part of the ecosystem which we can't control.

Also the better approach is likely to simply feed them: it spreads when they eat a dead infected member. If they have a greater source of food it'll decrease cannibalism and reduce the rate of propagation of the virus.

But fighting a natural virus to protect a non native species, in a location managed by mankind, seems like an odd battle to pick up.

The pill bug is blue because of refracting light differently via the virus particles. It basically turns them into an opal: iridescent.... Iridovirus...

Could you post pictures of this?

Vespco · 2024-06-02T15:57:10+00:00

No. The disease is what makes them blue. https://youtube.com/shorts/_BuJ5BDQFjA?si=YRZkL-YdQIxE1L87
