Notes -
I would be interested in updates, but I also think we should have a forum policy to instaban anyone shilling crypto on here.
Not anti crypto as a concept, just don't want to see this place turn into a zoo for scammers.
Glad to hear your interest, I enjoy your posts (though I myself am mostly a lurker).
Don’t worry about shilling from me, at least. The reason I posted here (as opposed to the main thread) was because I’d like to share the process. I anticipate it being an interesting journey.
In short, I am planning on beginning with a 100 kW facility in Irkutsk, Russia. Irkutsk is one of the largest cities in Siberia, and offers significant hydroelectric power availability due to its proximity to Lake Baikal, the world’s largest freshwater lake by volume.
Yeah I wasn't flagging this post or you in particular. Just registering concern that the genre can be very dangerous. I've seen several forums/channels/etc end up inundated with a firehose of bullshit that way.
I'm also of the opinion that the primary thing keeping this forum interesting is that it is totally impossible to monetize at the moment. Former posters from this very forum have gone on to monetize work that is very similar to what they used to post here, and you can see how they've gotten (in my humble opinion) significantly less interesting as they've run into the rutted wagon wheels of how you make money at shitposting.
Shitcoin shilling is one way the forum could become monetizable for someone, and then you get an avalanche of shit flowing down from there. Keep this place useless.
I’ve seen that happen and it’s always a shame. Whether I liked or disliked the poster (or both, on different occasions—looking at you, Kulak) the incentives of making money on one’s writing push them to agree with the greater egregore.
This place is very useful! Iron sharpens iron. One of my hopes in posting is that someone with more experience might make suggestions that turn out to be helpful (and the other is simply to give back, in the sense of producing rather than merely being a consumer of the rest of the forum’s efforts). But yes, monetization is often a kiss of death for the spark of originality that makes something interesting.

I'm not opposed to this, but I trust the mods enough that I'm not that worried about them being too tolerant of crypto scams. Not exactly the sort of content we encourage here.
