Look what thy memory cannot contain,
Commit to these waste blanks, and thou shalt find
Those children nursed, delivered from thy brain,
To take a new acquaintance of thy mind.
— William Shakespeare, "Othello"

Question:
How does one add a ~12MB video to the blockchain?
I have been trying with bico.media for months without success.
I reached out to them via email, but they were unable to help.
How can I add a small video to the BSV blockchain?
Would it render as a video on pow.co?

What's the Deal with Ordinal Profits
To those of you that have made a boatload of money on ordinals, well done, I am happy for you!
If you are thinking: "Why didn't we see this coming?–Powco is supposed to help us get better information!", I will attempt to share some considerations herein that I hope will shed some light on your question.
PowCo skews towards long-run thinking. When I was trying to understand the value in PowCo (a difficult proposition generally), it didn't make sense to me until I understood that it only works well in the long-run.
As others have shared and boosted, Ordinals/BRC-20 tokens, while proven short-term money making opportunities, appear to lack any real inherent value, unlike for example, a pencil or a biscuit, which have obvious value.
If you use PowCo, you probably understand the value of long-run thinking. In terms of maximizing profits, accurate long-run thinking is extremely valuable, and outperforms accurate short-term thinking.
If you have been investing in BSV and stayed invested without worrying about missing out on the BTC price gains, you already understand this concept.
I see opportunities like this on a regular basis, but they generally don't interest me because I know I will maximize profits in the long-run if I focus on a longer time horizon.
That's not to say that if I saw a short-term profit opportunity for which the opportunity cost was insignificant and the risk was low, that I wouldn't take it. I do make the occasional short-term trade with that goal in mind, but only on the rare instance that it meets the aforementioned qualifications.
However, I would guess that in order to make a steady living from trading short-term trends, the time commitment would be all consuming and come at the cost of long-run profits.
I think most PowCo users inherently understand this to be true, and so we often miss out on short-term positive expected value gambles.
But, we have faith that the future will be bright and as a result, we are planning and building for a bright future with great profits for those who create great value.
How long does the ordinals hype on BTC have left?
How can we use Midjourney to improve the value powco for its players?
Websites not working
- powstream.com not working at all (try loading a video like this)
- pow.co shows "a client side exception has occurred". This has to do with some content that isn't being read properly. It seems like some JS object is expected to have property "item" but does not and it throws an exception.
- Still can't boost on powco.dev!
Let's get these things working so that we can actually promote them!
Users should be able to download these types of posts as .ics files so that they can be incorporated into other calendar software.
I just published a draft UI for the personal interests contract here: https://github.com/pow-co/pow.co/tree/interests
please run this branch and go to /settings, you will find a personal interest button
Idea: Onchain Events Calendar
To attract participants and good ideas to our meetups, people should be able to add their tokenmeet meeting to a calendar, and then boost it to get attention.
Question: What Should Be the Technical Architecture for an Onchain Calendar?
Episode 13 of the Peafowl Excellence Podcast is now available!
If you are interested in the ongoing saga of BTC, BSV, BRC-20, and Ordinals, you may find this episode to be useful to your survival!
Ordinal discussion starts at 46:51
powco should stop adding ANY additional features until the minimum infrastructure works smoothly and reliably. That should be the number one priority–not archiving a bunch of posts or data that could be boosted or tweaking the UI. Powco worked very nicely a month or so ago. Now it is kind of a mess and is unreliable to use.
new version of boostpow-cpuminer
See https://github.com/pow-co/boostpow-cpuminer/ for instructions on how to compile and run.
You can run it with docker or compile it yourself.
- websockets won't crash the program if it fails to connect
- fix confusion that results from a script with more than one output of which some are redeemed but not all.
Please run it and try to increase your income! If you have trouble boost it so that we know how to make it easier.
