Subject: Oregano oil & sleeping

Back over here at 11:30am, after sleeping 10 hours, because brownout again at other main house. That was 4 times brownout yesterday. The drought has disabled the main power source here in Mindanao, the Pulangi Dam, and an emergency shutdown of a diesel generation plant has led to this sudden 4 hour rotating brownout schedule:

I am going to need to do something about this. So far, I am able to juggle between my two rental houses, since so far there is always power at one of them. But I lose 45 minutes in travel time back and forth. This is becoming a twice daily travel now.

The main impediment to even faster progress remains my health. My health is more stable and thus I am making more progress. When I say stable, I mean that most of the time now I am not entirely useless with foggy brain and head on the keyboard. Usually every day I can function for being at the computer for many hours. But it is not yet at the point where I have full power energy always. I only get that full blast energy on some days (maybe 1 a week or perhaps 2 sometimes) and usually only for a few hours of those day(s). That full blast energy is where I can do amazing productivity, because my thought process is so much sharper and clearer. With only low or moderate energy and slight aches here and there, my mind is muddled (not foggy but not sharp and able to solve deep puzzles with ease). I had that full energy nearly always during my entire life up until this illness. If I can get that full energy back, I will be able to really impress with my coding productivity.

That is what I am working on now, experimenting with the Oregano oil. I had been only digesting it (because I can't find the drops here only capsules) for past couple of weeks. That had seemed to make an improvement. Then yesterday I tried letting a capsule dissolve under my tongue because I've read that sublingual under the tongue is by far the most effective means of getting the key ingredients into the blood stream (whereas in the stomach acid they are mostly lost). I did that twice yesterday and again this morning @ 8am. It has made me so incredibly sleepy. I had been only able to sleep about 4 - 5 hours daily lately which was wearing me down and also indicating that I am not cured. The lack of sleep was a negative sign in otherwise mostly positive signs lately. So I am very encouraged that I slept 10 hours last night. I slept again from 8am to 11am after awaking to eat. I would have slept more (I'm still groggy now) except I was sweating so much without airconditioning due to the brownout which started @ 8am at the other house.

The one time I thought I was totally cured of this illness was in Sept/Oct 2012 when I slept always for about a week. All my symptoms were entirely gone. I was in Subic, taking a lot of vitamin D3, a gym rat every day, and eating the food for foreigners there. Upon returning to Davao, my bad symptoms started again. During 2013 when I lived in the very cold mountain at very high elevation, I slept a lot. And my symptoms were much more under control (except when I would exercise, then they would go bezerk), but I was slowly getting worse. When I returned to Davao City to live and started to work on crypto-currency Nov. 2013 and into 2014, I worsened. Then 2015, my health fell off the cliff after June. Basically I've been a zombie since Nov. 2012. I was already starting to experience this very low energy and chronic fatigue in 2010 and especially 2011. I had issues with fatigue every since the fateful event in 2006, but kicked into higher gear roughly 2010 and then acute after the May 2012 hospitalization for acute peptic ulcer.

So any way, back to the Oregano oil. If it is causing my body to be able to eradicate what ever infection is inside of me that is what I believe is the cause of my ailments, then perhaps that is why my body wants to sleep so much now. So that could be a very positive sign. If I can get the breakthrough to my full energy again, then we can really rock and roll even without a co-developer. If I can't get the full energy back, I can still be an effective leader and get some code done, but we will really depend on a superstar co-developer to be the most productive of the team.

Again remember I've been recently tested negative for HIV, Hepatitis B & C, Syphilis, pancreas & prostate cancer markers, and few others.

Why bombard with banner advertising when you can recommend/mention/link to something (preferably which is entirely free to start using, and which itself uses gamification to earn revenue) within the context of your content which your reader really needs and then receive an affiliation income from which is much greater than the income from spamming readers with shit only usually less than 1% of readers are even interested to click on. In other words, highly targeted advertising without violating the privacy of the user to track their interests and without bombarding them with banner ads.

In case someone might conflate this with Synereo's and Tsu's plan to pay social networking users to share, the salient distinction is that the social networking user is there to share to gain the synergies and love/reputation whereas the blog or publisher is focused on publishing (and monetizing his work so he can continue publishing). Also the social networking user doesn't have reach of readers of a publisher, unless of course he has a high reputation of sharing things that so many others reshare. So one could see some social network publishers arise, but this can't be a model to pay most of the users as I explained in the Synereo thread.

Not so sure about that!

An example of what happens with permissioned ledger, closed entropy systems in the market.  This NEM coin (standard PoS with some rube goldberg mechanisms on top of it) was pumped to a huge market cap.  Just like what happened with NXT, it now just kind of sits there with nobody really wanting to do anything with it.  This is crazy low volume compared to the 400-500 volume most altcoins have on the Bologniex casino nowadays:



These closed entropy systems where the entire coin supply was issued at genesis had their brief time in the sun because people were fascinated by the idea of not having their shares temporarily diluted through mining, but now there are so many of them, the novelty is gone and people are forced to re-examine what actually constitutes a decentralized currency in the first place.  It will be just like NXT.  The market cap will remain high, but the buy side will constantly wither away until the sum of the buy side is only 15 BTC (like NXT was a few months ago).  This makes them "roach motels" where you're theoretically wealthy, but nobody can actually exit the coin at all.

Interesting! Do you have any examples of "lucrative monetisation gamification models"? Conventional online advertising seems to be on the verge of death indeed.

Well Brave.com is a browser that will use BTC for this. See

micro-payments make so much possible.

Making users pay a micropayment to access a web page is never going work. The reason is because the cognitive load of each action is far too high:

Yet another stupid shit coin.

i think none of these will prove existing or none existing manipulation in the market

But if it's true, I wonder how absolute that could possibly be.  Maybe one account can't self-deal, but it probably isn't that tough to set up multiple accounts if one wanted to essentially self-deal.

What is happening in two weeks?

We are not investing in businesses which sell a product or service to generate revenue.

Zero-sum game:

Have you ever considered the elementary school math of addition and subtraction which tells you that it is impossible for everyone to make more than they lose, since all money invested has to originate with us collectively.

(another plausible answer is that LN works perhaps only with a fully centralized coin, so perhaps that is where Blockstream has been paid $75 million by the banksters to lead us to, but I am hoping that is not the case)

(or alternatively, the banksters have paid Blockstream to clusterfuck Bitcoin, whether Blockstream realizes it or not)

Control freaks inherited from Mozilla such as the HTML5's Ian Hickson prototype now in control of Bitcoin too. I've been butting heads with these control freaks for more than a decade.

They conflated the framing and data layer for Websockets for example even after I explained that to them.

They'd rather do it wrong than to not be the one in control of the doing.

[...]

Note that doesn't mean these guys aren't smart and expert in some areas.

In Blockstream's case, taking into account SideChains and LN, I am thinking they follow the Rude Goldberg principle of design. In Ian's case, I think it is "simplicity is beauty at any costs" or something like that.

[...]

I agree on probable necessity of centralization.

Blockstream's motivations may be multifarious. I presume money. Probably ego. Perhaps love of over engineering because solving difficult problems is a badge of status on the intellectual totem pole? Down the rabbit hole are wild conjecture and conspiracy theories. Occam's Razor probably applies.

Normally I refrain from replying in threads where there is obviously being trolled.
I've read some of your posts and you are (seem like) an intelligent guy, why do you keep responding to obvious trolling?

Your drawing [...] does have an extreme resemblance to Mario / Wario...

I'm not giving you any points on creativity.

The difference will be that the new one-world reserve coming approximately 2020, will not be controlled by any nation, but rather by a world government body.

This will be viewed by the world as more fair. But in reality it will be much less fair, because the world government will act basically the way the Troika does in the EU now, lending to the nations and never letting them default. They will lend in the world currency, but the people will be paid in their nation's shit currency which is debased like hell by the national politics. So then when the national currency loses value, the people are stuck paying back loans in the relatively more expensive world currency.

This is precisely what the Troika did to the PIIGS to destroy them. They will then do this on a global scale to enslave us all.

I thought we are already in this situation.

*Ahem the US dollar? last time I checked everyone loves it, despite its covered bad value.

So why would it recourse into another world reserve currency.
