Uh i didn't know you could grow servers. I assumed they were assembled in factories, being machines and all.

Does anybody have experience with this process? Where do you get the seeds from? What soil do they grow in? Should you water them, or not (considering them being machines and all)? Do they need sunlight exposure? And if yes, how much of it?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

They grow in high-silicate soil.

Being kernels i assume it's akin to corn propagation

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Only the certified organic servers are grown. Usually hydroponics are involved as the soil tends to jam the coolers. Sunlight is only necessary if they're solar powered.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

I’m no expert but I heard you can compile the kernels to grow them yourself

I once flipped on all my synthesizers at the same time, sparking a main plug (I cannot reach) so I had to call the building owner. An electrician had to come fix it.

2 weeks later a guy was standing at my door unannounced, wanting to measure everything and check my rooms for a potential weed farm.

I now turn them on in small groups to prevent it happening again.

Disguise your grow op as a server farm... We're "crypto mining"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

You've never been at a grow farm, have you? You can disguise it as much as you like, you are never getting rid of 100% of the smell.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

It really depends on the size. There’s home grows all over the place nobody ever smells because tents and negative pressure and activated charcoal filters work. I’ve grown in my house in a very illegal state and felt fine having ac techs come and work right outside that room while flowering.

Bit of orange chronic will fix that right up

Cheese it!!

Is generating binaural beats that get you high using my own AI setup technically a drug operation? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 days ago (2 children)

There definitely have been a case where the police, observing things with thermal cameras from a helicopter (for it is in the US where this tale happened), observed some house with a highly suspicious heat signature. ...Some dude's crypto mining operation.

Well, that was definitely indirectly drug related.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In theory it's supposed to be unconstitutional to use FLIR on a house without a warrant to find evidence. In practice though, I'm sure they can easily ruin someone's life for a while based off of "heat signatures". This isn't even mentioning what they could get away with if the Feds are involved. Who even knows anymore?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Can't use it to find evidence or get a warrant, but absolutely do use it to figure out who to target/where to look for evidence.

Herring Vs. United States set the de facto legal basis that allows for this sort of evidence laundering.

ik there's a lot of drug money in crypto but the majority of it isn't that. Bitcoin didn't get a 2.1 trillion dollar market cap though selling weed, a ton of that is from institutions like banks and corporation buying it up

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In a way it sorta did. Not directly obviously but if you look at the history of bitcoin, its first truly viable use was darknet markets. After getting established as the currency there, it proved it could work and banks n all started buying it, so it was the weed that did it in a way

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

First ever bitcoin purchase was literally pizza lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I didn't say anything abt the first purchase so unsure how this is relevant

Edit: excerpt

Silk Road proved the market for secure anonymous transactions based on blockchain ledgers, and the viability of cryptocurrency in general. Before the Silk Road marketplace, Bitcoin was mainly a novelty, with the first Bitcoin transaction famously being 10,000 BTC for 2 pizzas. Shortly after the Silk Road darknet market took off, Bitcoin reached $266 per coin, and the Silk Road marketplace became a $200 million operation.
