Also, you can throw some coins to my liberapay:

To encourage this kind of yak shaving that is released as free software later.

Learning about crowdfundings and stuff...
I'll probably make some in the near future.

Who is interested in #r&d #technology crowdfundings?

The idea here is to make free software/hardware prototypes, being the rewards of the CF some different ways to learn about the project or the prototype/copies of it.

That way we can learn together and create new shit.

And help me be more independent, for sure.

I may put some projects in a Survey and let the people decide which one goes to the CF!

Generative art!
This is a great thing!

Just thinking about this... maybe someone in the #art community is interested.

I worked as a miniature sculptor and I know the market very well. I know how to produce miniatures and where sell them.

I'd like to make something indie.
I'm not motivated enough to run a small miniature project but I could arrange a small team and make a crowdfunding...

The team should have illustrators/graphic designers and sculptors (3D or traditional).

Anyone in?

@jartigag take a look to this:

@jartigag @andoniserra @sirikon He dicho que voy pero no he dicho a quién animaré.

Pista: Será para adorar a la tortilla.

So long without a way to put my creativity in order.

Having cool people to work with is great.

Ideas appear they make others to come and you always want to create more things...

I hope this lasts long.

It slows down if you run it for a long time but there is it...

Deleting all my tweets with no API access...

One of the windows deletes from the last to the first and the other goes the other way, from the past to the present.

How do you feel about this?

I've set a goal on liberapay and I'll probably start doing some stuff to make people consider being a patron.

Why? I want to be more independent. If I reach the goal I'd be able to dedicate more time to the things I like to do instead of working on looking for clients.

That could be nice.

Now I need a strategy.

@editora @jordila @andoniserra @giorgiograppa No es tan sencillo. Docker es una cosa compleja de explicar y no la puedes instalar en un hosting.
Sólo podrías hacerlo en un VPS.

Docker es como un gestor de pequeñas máquinas virtuales, por decirlo de algún modo.

I did this crazy video to teach a friend of mine to make a Tortilla.

You should watch it and learn to make a tortilla.

Make tortillas and send me pictures.

@jartigag The thing is there's politic agenda involved.
Look, in a town here in the Basque Country they said they didn't want antennas in home buildings so they moved them outside the town. The town is surrounded by mountains so perfect.
The population was happy, they had coverage and the agenda was perfectly covered.

Problem: if you move the antennas further, they need more power -> they affect more to the living animals around.

@jartigag I read a book about it by the spanish CSIC called "Radiofrecuencias y salud" which explains the whole thing very well:

But i'd like to hear more about it.

In general people is concerned about the newest kinds of EMI which are the High Frequency ones, which, at the same time have been proved to be innocuous. There's a long term study on mobile phone freq. but I don't remember the source...

We have to separate this stuff from political agendas.

I'm making a Semantic-UI based website.

The website is a contacts database with few fields.

I don't know how to start the UI... :S

@ingoberlab [...] That architecture forces the FairCoin community to *really* know each miner owner in real life, because they need to receive the valid private keys for the mining.

Energy consumption is obviously reduced, there's no high difficulty because there's no competition, the blocks are mined fast and the prize is really low (also the fees are decided by the community and they stay lower than a cent).

The mining is just the network saying: "your turn".

Did I explain it well?

@ingoberlab [...] The cooperation is based on a Round-robin style. But this can only be done thanks to the architecture of FairCoin, where the miners are owned by well-known people in the FairCoin community (which has a lot of meatspace life).

So, the round-robin like mining has also another point to reach consensus. If 7 miners are taking part, the miner who has to mine the block needs at least 5 signatures of the others. That way nobody is going to mine more than what the network accepts[...]

@ingoberlab I think I can. Well, Bitcoin's PoW is based on a competition, miners needs to solve a problem as fast as they can. The first is the only one to take the incentive (a prize).

The algorithm is basically choose random numbers until the SHA-256 of the block they are mining is smaller than the difficulty that the network choose. That's just a computational problem -> high energy consumption.

FairCoin mines the blocks in a cooperative way... [Follows]
