How long does it take for a link to show up after using the "Share any URL" feature? I shared a link to a gist twice and it has not appeared on the pow.co page yet. It's been about 10 minutes.
Get Exclusive Access, Premium Features, Steep Discounts, and Steer Development in 59 Seconds or Less Without Complicated Data Mining Signup Requirements
The POWCO Rewards Token ("POWCO") lets you super-charge the development of the open-source Boost protocol by speeding up time to deliver new features and letting you vote on what features to add next. You may even experience additional benefits on other BitCoin apps for simply holding these one-of-a-kind Rewards Tokens in your wallet.
What You Get
Immediately you can unlock special features available only to POWCO holders when using the Pow.co website.
Want to search the BitCoin blockchain for Proof of Work by transaction ID? That special feature is only available to those who own at least one POWCO.
Want to boost your content to the next highest rank? Anyone can boost content from the Pow.co website, but only POWCO token holders can automatically see in advance how much work is needed to boost their content right to the top -- and then get a special exclusive discount to do it!
Everyone will want to own at least one POWCO. It is easy to acquire today at the RelayX marketplace. This should be the first and most-used Rewards token in your wallet. The more one uses it, the more benefits accumulate.
Donald Trump
Famous TV-star Donald Trump gave the POWCO Rewards Token his highest endorsement[^1]:
"You're going to be very happy when you see what the POWCO Rewards Token can do. Very, very happy. Everybody agrees. Initially I said I couldn't believe it. It's absolutely the best--but losers wouldn't understand. Sad!"
[^1] (Donald Trump has not yet actually endorsed or acknowledged the POWCO Rewards Token.)
The Power to Know Instantly With Absolute Measurable Certainty To Eight Decimal Places What Matters Most to the Users of BitCoin.
POWCO Holders are Part of an Elite Global Cabal That Secretly and Anonymously Steer the Direction of the BitCoin System Toward Good ...or Evil!
Your tokens can be used to vote on the direction.
Satoshi Nakamoto
Dr. Craig Steven Wright, Undisputed Inventor and Patent Holder of the First IBM Computer[^2], said this about POWCO:
"It's absolutely illegal, and I hate it. Buy it only if you want to go directly to jail immediately and become someone's bitch, because that is exactly what will happen the instant POWCO appears in your Relay wallet. There is no hope for you. Stiff! Full Stop!"
[^2] (Dr. Craig Wright is a brilliant scientist and this is all in good fun, please don't sue us Craig, please, we'll do anything. PS We love your red socks, really, it's not tacky at all.)
POWCO Gives You Powers
Once you hold POWCO in your wallet, you will want to do something with it right away. You have endless options at your fingertips.
First, if you are a developer, you are going to want to immediately integrate POWCO into your BitCoin app. You want to give POWCO holders special hidden features and benefits for insiders only. It's fun and cool and so are you, so that's what we're doing.
Second, if you are a gamer, you are going to want to check to see if your POWCO unlocks any hidden levels, premium items, special side-quests, or adult-themed FMVs.
Third, if you are an NFT collector, you are going to want to offer your premium POWCO tokens up for sale at 1000% above markup. You bought them early, which makes them more rare and adds value[^3]. Speculate and show off your shiny rare token for cool people only.
[^3] (No, it doesn't. Maybe. We don't actually know.)
- Fourth, and truly, you will be able to use the website Pow.co like a really special person. Buttons and links will appear to you as a POWCO holder that you would not see otherwise. You will for example see connections between the most trending content, the most valuable tags for boosting, the history of a tag's popularity over time, and the freshest most secret memes on the internet.
What is Proof Of Work Anyway?
You know when you see some super muscular dude like Duke Nukem and you think, "Man, that guy is cool!" Behind the scenes there is Proof Of Work doing its magic on your brain. Subconsciously, you know that his huge muscles and Devil-may-care attitude stem from a very real place of confidence -- an abundance of real competance that says, "F**k your mother! Stop staring at my biceps already, and come blow me!"
That's Proof of Work.
The muscles. The attitude. The energy that radiates from a person or thing when you just take one look at it and instantly know: THAT'S IT!!!
There's a lot more to it than that, but you get the point. Wasting energy and taking risks. It's what life is all about.
And now the digital world (where, let's be real, you spend 99% of your time) has its equivalent of big dirty muscles. Or antlers. Or huge tits. Or whatever you want to picture.
It's about signaling what matters. What's important. One glance, and boom, you know instantly. You scroll Twetch, and it's a nightmare. A hodge-podge of posts from strangers of varying value, mostly duds. F**k that.
Get the good stuff now.
Our team of scientists and engineer are studying your brain waves as you read this and importing your thoughts directly into our goupy secret formula for the next rewards token.
We already know that as you are reading this, you have already decided to buy one POWCO just to take it for a spin, and that you want to see what hidden features it unlocks for you.
But just you wait. You are going to be amazed and buy even more next month, and as BitCoin grows in value and popularity, you will see that the POWCO in your wallet does more than you ever imagined. And the biggest benefits come to those who hold it early.
Sven Kramer
Speed skating legend Sven Kramer said,
"I'll take as many tokens as I can get. That b*tch Tonya Harding wouldn't own a single POWCO. I will own thousands."[^4]
[^4] (We don't know if Sven Kramer ever said this, but we don't know that he didn't say it, either.)
It will probably give you super-powers.
Disclaimer
None of the statements on this site constitutes an actual contract. POWCO tokens have no monetary value. There is no guarantee that POWCO will get you any benefits now or in the future, and we at team POWCO do not promise to deliver you anything in exchange for these mysterious tokens. We are simply having as much fun as we possibly can within the limits of human and machine capacity. We really love fun, and we sincerely believe you will be pleasantly surprised by the things that come your way by virtue of the fact that you hold POWCO tokens. But just to be safe, this offering is not available to persons or corporations based in the United States, the Republic of North Korea, Cuba, Afghanistan, Iran, or any of the bad places where only bad people live. If you own any POWCO tokens, you have acquired them fraudulently and Craig Wright is going to turn them into digital lead as soon as he finds out! Stiff!
Just get one and see what happens, and if you like it, get some more. They are easy enough to buy and sell on the Relay marketplace. You have nothing to lose![^5]
[^5] You could lose everything. Please do not spend any money you cannot afford to lose.
But really, we think it's a good thing. We have them.
Geena Davis
We will leave you with a final word from our biggest supporter and Jeff Goldblum's one-time spouse, film and television's Geena Davis:
"I don't know what POWCO is, and that's why you should own some."
[^6] This never happened.
If you think about it, it's really true.

Industrial control systems over Bitcoin
- Record industrial data on chain
- Add on chain control logic
- ???
- Profit.
Record industrial data on chain
WeatherSV and Bitping are two interesting experiments in that direction.
WeatherSV demonstrates the performance of the network. let's keep growing those antlers. A few leads:
https://hubeau.eaufrance.fr/page/apis
Electricity Grid data
Any Data in open Apis
Bitping is a demonstration in network intelligence. How can we expand this to other utilities (electricity, water) ?
The real question here is moving industrial processes on chain. Imagine runing your friendly neighborhood nuclear plant on Bitcoin.
The answer is replace all existing industrial communication protocols (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_automation_protocols) by the Bitcoin protocol.
Add on chain control logic
Alarms
Commands
PID Controlers
Role Based Authentication
???
Make the industry addict to Bitcoin.
Profit.
Guaranteed. (as an industry insider)

The Essential Guide to MUI Styled Components
November 9, 2021 by Jon M.
Material-UI version 5 made the styled API one of two primary component styling APIs. Unfortunately, the complexity of styled componenents in Material-UI increased exponentially. For example, now developers must decide:
Should I use the styled API that wraps emotion?
Should I use the styled API that wraps styled-components?
Should I use styled components directly in Material-UI?
Should I import @mui/styled-engine, @mui/styled-engine-sc, @mui/system, or @mui/material/styles?
Which of the seven new options should I pass as options to styled? For reference, the typing is styled(Component, [options])(styles) => Component.
My goal with this guide is to aid the 90% of developers who want a simple setup for using Styled Components with MUI. I will include links to resources that go beyond the scope of the setup demonstrated in this article.
If you are debating using styled components vs the sx prop, the short answer is that styled components are meant to be created and exported for reuse all throughout your app. The sx prop is a quicker styling method that is intended to replace local classes and inline styling. In reality, they can both accomplish the same goals and in my opinion it comes down to developer preference. Here’s a full article on MUI sx vs styled vs theme overrides and when to use each.
