this could be a good way to fund the superlarge Mastodon nodes, if we have to have them at all

also i want to emphasize that this scheme would be strictly voluntary. you would opt into mining by pushing a button on the page widget. it'd be neat if it also showed you the contribution you've made

automated premium mediocre internet socialism

thinking about it, something like coin-hive would be dope if it also connected to a publically visible dashboard. see where all your cpu cycles and mined coins go.

also if there were a way to automatically put funds in excess towards other causes, like charities or people in need. that would also be publicly visible

@TipsyTentacle is going to make me into a train nerd

lol i'm pretty much being delta in openttd

you can go anywhere but you have to go through atlanta

@TipsyTentacle couldn't get the deb package working so i just grabbed the binaries. working now

@TipsyTentacle working on getting back in. on linux i am in heck trying to get openttd 1.7.1 and the dependencies... repo only had 1.5.3

> brew install openttd
> it works
wow

lmk how 1.6.1 turns out, btw. if it's stable and works out, i'll upgrade to it a little sooner than i have in the past

@CobaltVelvet yeah, it's pretty crappy, but it's also easy to get started with and you don't have to know anything to start it as an end user. if you offer this, you should also just accept monero transfers to a wallet, i agree

@CobaltVelvet i think this is a better way of doing it, if you're going to go that route at all: https://coin-hive.com/

just make it obvious you're doing this and that's how they're paying for whatever you're serving :)

a donation link would be good but that takes people actually thinking about it and wanting to deal with paypal

@CobaltVelvet that seems like it'd be an interesting thing to avoid having to serve ads, but something you'd only do with the consent of the viewer.

no, ads running arbitrary javascript is not okay either

@Gargron yeah, i looked at the thing and then realized that's what it was. i thought it was like, attaching mastodon accounts to keystone identities for some reason

Oh. Storing stuff in Swift. Nevermind, I thought it was something else.

...Mastodon has OpenStack Keystone support now? Why exactly?

mining monero in your browser? how would you even arrive at that idea?

@lain all the stupid somethingawful emoticons will be here soon
