Name YOUR decentralized social network?

I wonder if many would instinctively know to pronounce Ξ as "e".

I didn't if that's any indicator.

To get the desired result, I'd harness the natural propensity for the average human to discover through error.
Place the Ξ where most people would expect an E. The auto correction of the brain will likely correct it to E and then Ξ becomes associated with E while still remaining Ξ

Then they consciously notice that the E is a little funny and realize it is actually Ξ, bringing attention to the Ξ logo to Cement it being pronounced E as well as being used for the function of the letter it resembles.

It's not required for this suggester to be in incorporated into the name, and consequently constraining its form.
It Just has to be prominent on the website by replacing the Es of key words with Ξ

example:

Ξmail

Ξcosystem

Ξconomy

Ξcommerce

Ξfficiency

Ξlegance

Ξducation

Ξarth

Ξgress - Definition, the act or an instance of going, especially from an enclosed place.

Indeed, that is what I have been thinking when and since I wrote:

∎ I prefer this to the last comment about naming. I hope you guys stop. I already provided my email address above for those who want to continue discussion. Thanks.

Note I do not reply anymore to tangential comments because I am trying to not bury my recent important comments with follow-up minutiae. So I will respond to your recent tangential question:

How do I go about doing this? do any bitcoin wallets even support this? If so which ones? Because non of them mention this capability.

Note I corrected the broken link in the post you were replying to point to an archive which contains the posts of mine which were censored from bitcointalk.org.

I forget all the details of that discussion, but essentially just spend your tokens to “legacy” addresses. Most wallets can do this. The absolute safest would be to mix your spends with newly minted BTC that had no SegWit lineage, although this is probably unnecessary. There were services offering to sell minute fractions of such virgin mined BTC. You would then create a transaction with two inputs one each for the tainted BTC and the virgin mined BTC. I do not know which wallet can facilitate this.


P.S. Internet friends please note that a new health problem has developed which seems to be fibromyalgia. This is the longest duration and most (dull) pain I have been in that is not involving any G.I. nor head pain. I wonder if the recent few weeks of dairy and/or the occasional Bovine Colostrum made this worse? Could sitting in a chair for so many hours a day be a contributing factor?

These new symptoms have been threatening to become chronic since about November. Which is why I had increased exercise. I might have had this sort of leg pain back in 2015 or 2016 as well (when I suspected my symptoms to be Multiple Sclerosis because of they also involved welts on and systemic inflammation involving my skull), but if so were less noticeable than the other G.I. and head symptoms I at that time.

In the episodes (aka flare-ups) since roughly November, the pain would be only on the left leg and buttock and would subside after a few hours. Today’s flare-up involves both legs, buttocks and even the lower back. And it has continued through the night and disrupted my sleep.

Doctors have no cure nor explanation for these sort of autoimmune conditions. All they can do is treat the symptoms with pain killers and anti-inflammatory agents.

This is why I am not hopeful for a modern medical cure to my condition. Yet I should at least rule out clinically detectable conditions such as dysbiosis or physically identifiable issues in the G.I. tract.

If it’s for example the genetic material that remains in the body after the more dangerous multiple Dengue infections (which I have had in addition to a virulent strain of HPV which was a gift from my ex and innumerable other infections), that can apparently cause long-term autoimmunity (c.f. also), then I am simply screwed for life. Or the 24 days of fluoroquinolones antibiotics which I have previously cited (from an E.U. circular) as being correlated with long-term egregious side-effects (probably due to the fluoride). And the best I can do is try to manage the condition with more time outdoors, exercise, and off the computer.

Still in (dull) pain at the moment, but I have taken Resveratrol, Vitamin E, Magnesium, Potassium, Vitamin D3, Vitamin C, and eaten raw greens and a carrot. I felt slightly better sitting up to write this email as opposed to lying in the bed.

My declining health combined with this egregious threat of physical torture to all publicly known crypto investors, traders and developers, means it is becoming more and more likely that I will disappear from the cryptocosm. This is no joke nor bullshit. My health condition is much worse than readers realize. It’s impossible to work effectively and intensely as a software developer with this chronic health condition. Short-term memory isn’t performing well enough most of the time (such work requires keeping a lot of details in short-term memory). Continuity of thoughts and engineering is lost by every flare-up. I am often not quite sure if I am conscious or in a dream. I fight to remain aware of being conscious, but my willpower is being pummeled by the years of grinding through it. I am disabled now.

Perhaps those who I was working with (or others reading my public posts?) will carry forward the plans and ideas in some capacity. Keep an eye out for a project which might resemble the one we discussed.

EDIT 4 hours later: I have diarrhea now, so this fibromyalgia-like flare-up appears to be G.I. related.


I edited my first Steemit blog:

UPDATE March 1, 2019: I have publicly announced my withdrawal from the cryptocosm. My related coincidental numerology is 3/1/2019 and note my eye was destroyed on 12/1/1999.

World Economy to Decline Until 2036

[…]

Another projection from Armstrong:

[…] The West is collapsing. World GDP has been in a bear market since the late 1970s. The economy is moving into a recession as we spiral toward 2020. We will then enter STAGFLATION — rising prices with declining economic growth — between 2020 into 2024 with another hard decline thereafter into 2028. […]

Those who doubt the predictive power of Armstrong’s cyclical models and historical data modeling, may want to read this.

The reason for the coming stagflation is because the 4 decades sovereign (e.g. US Treasuries) bond bubble is coming to an abrupt end.

When the next recession comes there is going to be a lot of turmoil

Jeffrey Gundlach on the market, millennials, cannabis, taxes, and the 2020 election

As interest rates rise back to normalized levels of 7% (from the current 2% after a slight pause into 2020), not only will fewer people be able to afford to buy a home (and thus real estate and housing prices will crash again), also the servicing of the global (and especially Western) debt is going to consume an ever greater portion of incomes (including tax income for governments):

And because governments will raise taxes. Bill Gates explained […] So in short, the West is shooting itself in the feet as the Titanic is on flames and sinking. This Western process of self-immolation (aka “societalcide”) will accelerate over this coming decade as Western socialism is destroyed by destroying itself and its society.

But this is creative destruction because it ushers in the vital decentralization technologies which will reshape the global economy and provide massive employment by unlocking the value of maximum division-of-labor and disintermediating behemoths. Conceptualize it simply— if we all tied our shoelaces together, we’d be much less valuable while in that tied up state.

Bond guru Jeffrey Gundlach’s video linked above says 7 times more federal government spending goes to old people than to the youth in the USA. Armstrong wrote:

At the current federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, working 40 hours per week, 52 weeks per year, yields an annual income of only $15,080. This is below the annual poverty line. It also reflects something that most people are unaware of — in Illinois, there are more than 19,000 retired teachers who get OVER $100,000 per year in their pension. According to the latest data, nearly 1.5 in ten federal employees are eligible to retire RIGHT NOW, and in five years the number will hit […] 30%.

Gov. Christie rebukes a teacher at Kenilworth Town Hall

The farce of a false dichotomy of Blue vs. Red irks me. Clinton is the President who signed the repeal of Glass-Steagall, which allowed the commercial banks to go into investment banking enabling the malfeasance that fostered the 2008 subprime mess. And signed the law to make student loans nondischargeable in bankruptcy. The student loan debacle is going to destroy our youth and collapse our real estate market (in addition to the loss of demand as interest rates rise)! The government’s involvement in healthcare and education is corrupt and will always be (because wolves in sheepskin are naturally attracted to hen houses)!

The government is for sale to the highest bidder by both parties.

I achieved a few hours of frequently interrupted sleep. Extremely hungry even though I ate 4 eggs, red rice, and some raw veggies just a few hours earlier before laying down. The disseminated pain is slightly reduced (although still significant enough to repeatedly wake me up). And the brain effects changed from fog to headache. Now in addition to the slightly diminishing aching pain, I also have a cramp (as opposed to an ache) on front, left side and my right arm feels like someone kicked it. In summary, feels like the flare-up is trending ever so slightly positively. The “cramp” (or “stitch”) I’m referring to is analogous to the effect of jogging too soon after eating. Not so painful. Aching (dull) pain feels like a bone and muscle bruise and it hurts more when pressure is applied, e.g. the hamstring aches deeply (deep to the bone) when the my hamstring is hanging over the edge of the chair. Note that seems to match the muscloskeletal pain described for fibromyalgia. The strangest symptom was I had an annoyingly strong erection all throughout this flare-up. It’s like I had taken Viagra. Lack of (or lack of strong) erections has been a feature of my chronic illness. When the aching pain was at its peak, I was miserable and couldn’t sleep at all. This is approaching tolerable/cope-able by now.

Amazing how much the immune and endocrine system is all tied up in the G.I. system. We don’t realize this when we are young and healthy.


EDIT next day: Our fatty liver is caused by autoimmunity. Is gut dysbiosys causing or concomitant with the autoimmunity? Gut dysbiosis is correlated with NAFLD, and I have read some info on how it may cause NAFLD via autoimmunity.

I suspect FMT (fecal transplants) is the best possible shot of curing this, if a sustained outdoor sunshine, exercise, balanced diet lifestyle does not.

I will likely pursue traditional colonoscopy, endoscopy and/or capsule endoscopy, so they can see and sample tissues inside the G.I. tract. The capsule endoscopy can take 50,000 imagines and capture the duodenal area that can’t be seen with traditional colonoscopy or endoscopy. That was the area where my ulcer burst in 2012 which caused me to end up ER and ICU. Note duodenal cancer has a survival rate of less than 20% for 2 years.

Someone put me in touch with a former high school gf who is now practicing natural medicine in Napa valley, CA, USA. Hopefully she can help me obtain a fecal donor and perhaps also refer me to some doctors in the USA/Mexico.

I am about to shift my daily lifestyle as I ramp down the number of hours per day I am on the computer to perhaps 4 to 6 hours at most (for a few weeks for this lifestyle test).

It’s perplexing that I could go from such a horrible condition last night to having a very athletic heavy bag boxing workout this evening. My legs do still ache intensely (and feels like I might not be able to sleep again), but my upper body was strong and my endurance was spectacular compared to recent times. Normally I lose energy on the heavy bag after roughly a minute or less ever since I was stricken chronically ill. This evening I was able to go 3 minutes per round non-stop punching. The snap on my punches was astounding for my age. Actually I was cracking the bag fiercely with my stronger right hand (much stronger than other videos I have shared). I was just amazed and thinking this is not me, I am dreaming. I wish somone would have been there to video it. Would have been interesting to share. This rollercoaster health ride is very confusing. That is why sometimes I am too ambitious because I feel great sometimes. I seem to decline by working 10 hours daily on the computer. I will probably be ill again later or tomorrow. In this moment I am lucid.

My body weight is still maintained at a svelte 155 lbs (70.5 kg).


EDIT after sleeping again:With a fresher mind I can pinpoint that these aches resemble the feeling of lactic acid accumulation. I know it well from my past experience of overexertion sprinting on the track. I’ve been supplementing Magnesium past two days.

If that is the actual mechanism, what deceived me from identifying it as lactic acid accumulation was the aches being up into my lower back muscles. And the extended duration that the lactic acid was not vacated.

Yet that could be the plausible explanation for why I was able to be otherwise athletic in my upper body last night as I mentioned in the prior message quoted below.

Note I did not sleep well again last night because of the aches.

I just finished jogging 1.5 miles in this blistering 10am tropical heat. Very achy sore in my hamstrings during the run but feel good so far after cooling off in the aircon. I normally feel good for at least an hour or two after exercise.

My near-term strategy is to test the lifestyle change I mentioned before.


So lactic acidosis can be caused by liver failure:

https://livertox.nih.gov/Phenotypes_lact.html

Apparently can die very suddenly from this condition:

I concur that at the worst the night before yesterday the onset of shock to the body is rather severe. It hadn’t impacted my breathing but it did reach up into my hips and lower back.

So that it seems this is very likely a sign of advancing liver disease in my case.

Encouraging to hear that your symptoms are approaching "tolerable/copeable by now"

These all sound like wise options to pursue, though 4 to 6 hours per day in front of a computer screen still seems excessive; though I realise there's likely an occupational pressure to do so.
