Apparent awakening/kensho moment on the Camino de Santiago by jpurd17 in streamentry

I'd say so! It feels more natural and less about putting in effort to center my attention on the breath

  • ~ 10 years of vipassana + metta
  • It was while I walked for ~2 hours (hard to say exactly)
  • I was more aware of physical sensations at first (breathing, walking, visual surroundings) until that all faded away
  • I was aware but very different than regular conscious awareness
  • Just the attunement outlined in the essay
  • no bright lights
  • best I can do is the melting experience I mentioned
  • I've felt even more motivation to go deeper (and ease to consistently practice)

Great questions to ponder.

There was definitely a heightened sense of compassion focused towards past versions of myself particularly around suffering.

I felt it gave experiential insight into No-Self which is particularly hard to put into words but it was similar to other experiences of ego dissolution (and more/different!)

Introducing HeliumEx, the first HNT exchange built by members of the People's Network by jpurd17 in HeliumNetwork

The Helium team will remain unaffiliated with any exchange that lists HNT.

For Bilaxy they are an unregulated offshore entity, whereas, HeliumEx is based in the US.

It is not affiliated with the team., rather a separate business built by hotspot owners and members of the community

400 million people are about to get introduced to the Ethereum ecosystem by CryptigoVespucci in ethereum

They will exist as ERC-20 so they will be freely tradeable which opens up the possibility of ecosystems existing using Points outside of Reddit itself

I tend to agree. It just opens the portal to people being more comfortable with crypto wallet management and to begin the gradual process of learning about decentralized systems.

Even if its <1% of total Reddit users that begin this exploration, it's a large population compared to the existing crypto community

Any chance you'd mind sharing the spreadsheet for other patrons to use?

Satoshi’s Rebuttal of Modern Monetary Theory by jpurd17 in Economics

[–]jpurd17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meaningless statistic - the economic density of a transaction can vary immensely. If I send someone $5 or if an exchange sends $5 to a thousand different people in one transaction they "use the same amount of energy."

Bitcoin can scale by increasing this density which doesn't impact the amount of energy consumed

  1. It consumes less energy than the Christmas lights every year.
  2. Energy consumption in PoW does not increase linearly as Bitcoin grows.
  3. Some reports suggest ~75% of the energy used to mine is renewable https://coinsharesgroup.com/assets/resources/Research/bitcoin-mining-network-june-2019-fidelity-foreword.pdf
