A fantastic new way to waste electricity? I wasn’t aware we needed that.

That was a good chuckle. I immediately shared with friends. Thank you for this moment of happiness.

Just curious why using a user’s own sheet wasn’t useful for managing the private key versus the secondary website.

Very neat. IIUC, each user gets some private cells, and "Daddy Google" does the sync. Off topic: How hard is it to just clone ETH, change the master key, (do we even need to re-compile?) and have new blockchain? Surely there is a SaaS for that

> Similarly, coinbase reward is fixed at constant 500 ShiitCoin per block mined, and doesn't adjust over time It doesn't really need to adjust over time. It doesn't need to be capped [1]. One blockchain has 1 minute block interval with a fixed 60 coin reward which translates to one coin per second forever.
