The most critical issue facing pow.co right now is boosts not being accepted by the API!

Some boosts are not accepted by the API for reasons that are not understood. This bug seems to be quite serious because several people have been affected by it.

In order to debug this issue, the best information we could have right now would would be an example boost tx that fails.

Please reply if you have that or have one or with any information that may help.

Probably? A few of us in the meeting today have made posts/boosted through pow.co but they have not appeared on the Jobs page or on the main page for a couple of days now.

The most obvious game one can play to capitalize on information would be investing.
This tweet of Jack Liu comes to mind: https://twitter.com/liujackc/status/1590927850156486656?s=20
What would a boost powered hedge fund look like?

Jack @liujackc You know why we need @DanielKrawisz proof of work content ranking system? Cause every time you can always find tweets of “shit that guy saw this coming way before it happened” but you never see it when it is happening

I've been learning more about Synergetics by Buckminster Fuller and I believe it's great content for other people who also understand the value of proof-of-work. His accent can be hard to understand, but it's very valuable information.

Perhaps we can come up with a working Theory of Profitable Information.

The more we can understand the nature of information and what makes certain information profitable enough to share, the more we can help each other grow the boostpow network hash rate and achieve greater understanding.

What kind of information is profitable to waste energy promoting?

How specifically can one earn satoshis operating upon each type of potentially profitable information?

What are strategies to prove that boosting specific information yielded a measurable profit?

Can we design games that allow us to practice scientific approaches to boostpow advertising to improve our abillity to make profits capitalizing on information?

What ways might this platform be developed to empower all its users to earn money by boosting the right content?

Nice! But in the case that people share such content using the URL our "share a URL" feature should detect that txid and simply boost the txid instead.

It does render inline if you use txid instead of the URL
