Statement from spokesperson for #Minnesota Governor #TimWalz:

"Governor Walz wishes that President Trump would be a President for all Americans, but this tragedy isn't about Trump or Walz. It's about the Hortman family, the Hoffman family, & the State of Minnesota, & the Governor remains focused on helping all three heal."

“I don’t really call him,” #Trump told reporters during his flight back to DC after making an early exit from the #G7 summit in Canada late Monday. “I think the governor of #Minnesota is so whacked out, I’m not calling him. Why would I call him?”

It is a well established custom for presidents to call state leaders to express #sympathy & offer #support after deadly #shootings & other calamities.

The New York Times · Trump Says He Has No Plans to Call Walz After Shootings in MinnesotaBy Ali Watkins

@kkarhan @hyc @voxel
My point was that Ethereum staking can be run on a NUC or even on a Rasperry Pi.
There are no ASICs here. So:

" uses |s which makes it way more polluting due to these being useless for anything else."
is completely false. misinformation.

meanwhile:
" the only thing that moving from to achieved is raising the wall to make it harder, more expensive amd less attractive for to fiddle with it."
Is also demonstrably false.

@cobordism @hyc @voxel IMHO the only thing that moving #Ethereum from #PoW to #PoS achieved is raising the wall to make it harder, more expensive amd less attractive for #SmallInvestors to fiddle with it.

Demondtrably, #EthereumClassic would at least be more trustworthy, alas that's an Opinion based off 'vibes'

  • Whether the PoS transition did save energy is debateable since #Ethereum uses #ASIC|s which makes it way more polluting due to these being useless for anything else. #Scalpers are shit but at the very least a #CPU or #GPU can be reused elsewhere…

@cobordism @hyc @voxel Noone claims that #Monero will help "#AbolishCapitalism"!

  • That would be deranged and in complete denial of reality.

What is however evident is that only #PostPrivacy #Shitcoins can do #ProofOfStake as unlike #ProofOfWork it inherently necessitates #PostPrivacy as in all transactions and amounts are public.

  • I'm pretty shure that #PoS cannot be implemented (even if #Monero devs wanted it to!) without making removing Monero's #privacy that it can retain under #PoW.

Again: I call it "least worst" for a reason; not "great", "good" or even "okay"...

MastodonHoward Chu @ Symas (@hyc@mastodon.social)@voxel@infosec.space PoW vs PoS has been debated ad nauseam already. PoS is unworkable for many reasons but most obviously because your stake is the number of coins you own. Publishing the number of coins you own defeats the purpose of Monero's confidentiality guarantees. It's a non-starter.

@hyc @voxel also #PoS inherently rewards rich users and concentrates power even more than the nature of #PoW would, as running a #Monero #node or #miner doesn't require expensive custom #ASIC|s that are going to become manufactured #eWaste down the line and can't be repurposed for anything but being the noisiest and most expesive space heaters!

infosec.space/@kkarhan/1146386

  • Or to put it into perspective: PoS implementations like #Ethereum only rewarded already abdurdly rich capital holders and wiped everyone else out due to every PoS mechanism demanding a minimum of staked coins AND even if it didn't all of them inherently reward staking more with a higher "rent" / "reward"!

Case in point: There are only ugly and filthy solutions to that problem and Monero chose the "least worst" they could: Shure it still has problems but those are at least fully known, understood and working as in 'communities can outnumber single rich entities'...

Infosec.SpaceKevin Karhan :verified: (@kkarhan@infosec.space)@voxel like all #PoW #Cryptocurrency, #Monero too does #WastefulComputing. - Unlike many others it automatically adapts #Difficulty based off total #hashrate as it enshures a constant block reward of 0,6 XMR + Tx Fees per block at a constant block time of 2mins per block. That being said Monero was explicitly designed to not be #ASIC-able in a cost-efficient manner and be #GPU-unfriendly, so it's more #decentralized and doesn't cause harm by demanding custom hardware that can't be repurposed that causes 100% avoidable #eWaste! - IOW: I's the *'least worst'* option given it's PoW doesn't incentive or reward capital holders (beyond the ability to host and have power to mine)…

🛟 Gestern früh hat die Crew der #AuroraSAR von @seawatchcrew über 50 Menschen, darunter ein 1-jähriges Kind, gerettet. 2 hochschwangere Frauen mussten medizinisch evakuiert werden.

Die Behörden wiesen trotz zunehmend schlechter werdenden Wetters #PortoEmpedocle als #POS zu.

Bei schlechter werdendem Wetter und hohen Wellen war es der AURORA unmöglich, Porto Empedocle zu erreichen. Vernunft und Recht setzten sich schließlich durch, und die geretteten Menschen konnten in #Lampedusa an Land gehen.
