I don't agree with this assessment at all. I think the immense value of bitcoin and other technologically advanced, secure, decentralized networks comes from the detailed network communications which they enable. They allow global fina

What people don't realize, is that we already have fantastic alternatives to Ethereum for low-energy, world-class decentralized networks with built in NFTs. My favorite is avalanche. This is all so new, but we CAN have a future that is

Here is how I fixed it. (Error 81 due to a false positive filament jam -- occurs because the encoder wheel gets stuck and isn't turned by the moving filament) The problem was indeed the encoder wheel getting stuck which triggered a fal

So glad you asked! I wrote a blog post about exactly this. My answer is "The Network is the value." The price of a bitcoin reflects the value of the network using it. https://blog.syllablehq.com/the-network-is-the-

Thanks to paroneayea and team for doing this! It's so important that we move this technology forward. I'm looking forward to digging in and maybe getting involved.

I hope this will be much easier for people to do when there are decentralized options. (other thread here discussing that.) And then the big players can't just buy the competitors and keep locking us into the same problem.

same as now, encryption and permissions. We'll just have more options and less lock-in.

Just a general response to some of the skeptics here (I hear your points, I just think we're still early in the game). I do believe this will happen. I believe it's inevitable, it will just take time. The main advantage over curre

I CAN'T WAIT for decentralized infrastructure to finally become robust enough that clones of instagram and facebook can all share a network -- they'll all become portals to the same social graph data. When that happens, there will

Tidal Power? Though the ocean is not strictly at the bottom of the gravity well. And I assume that's not really what you're asking.

yup it's feasible. It does scale. Here are two links to research that support the feasibility and cost effectiveness of underground gravity storage. https://www.storage-lab.com/gravity-based-storage https://

My understanding is that Dr Oliver Schmidt was hired by Heindl to do this research independently. It explains everything on the link I sent, so I didn't mean to imply that he wasn't hired to do it, but he's a third party. The

A long time ago I did the napkin math to check if it'd be worth it to lift a skyscraper up and down just slightly for energy storage. You know, you'd just use adjusting ramps as the height changed ever so slowly. Not surprisingly,

Wow, this is surprisingly less-debunked than I expected. Though, of course my first reaction is extreme skepticism. But I guess we'll see! https://www.quora.com/What-is-wrong-with-Dr-Mills-Hydrino-Th... https:/&#

Yeah, I clearly need to change the wording here as it's just adding confusion. The key thing here is that adding 10x height gives you 10x more PE per weight without extra digging costs (or tower costs assuming the cost per unit of heig

Here's the simplest quick answer I have regarding "is it worth it." This is just one example of independent research vetting that it is indeed promising. The math checks out. https://www.storage-lab.com/gravit

Wow, I didn't know they went bankrupt! Sad, thank you Heindl for paving the way forward. Innovation is truly a collaborative effort. https://heindl-energy.com/about-us/

My civil engineer partner could speak to this in more detail, but it's a well-understood solvable problem. You seal the shaft wall as you dig past the water table. And some small amount of pumping is used as needed.

Because as noted in other comments here, all the best natural pumped-storage reservoirs are tapped. It's not feasible to build enough dams in enough places to get the job done. Furthermore, my most optimistic estimates show that underg

No worries. Here is a good resource that talks about the levelized costs of gravity storage. It's estimated to be much cheaper than Li-ion battery storage on large scales. https://www.storage-lab.com/gravity-based-stora

- You can't build a mile tall tower though. - Keeping water out of a hole is a solved problem. - as discussed in other comments here, adding more height gives you more PE for the same amount of weight so it's a very valuable inves

Yeah, my startup, Terrament solves the heavy cable problem by using modules which each contain a motor/generator and they each support their own weight. This allows us to truly maximize height and weight per shaft volume. You can see m

Maybe not as large as possible, but we're looking at about 10m diameter and about 1 mile deep. Here's an example of existing mining tech that meets this capacity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5vAWR7rpco
