- APL-style biomass gasifier project: nmz787__ is evaluating a 30 kW (≈25 kW realistic) wood-chip gasifier for rural power; key constraints are chip-size consistency to prevent feed jams, local electricity buy-back limited to 25 kW, and a grid price of $0.16 kWh.  
- Free-fuel sourcing: getchipdrop.com and local tree surgeons were suggested as zero-cost sources of wood chips, though rural location may limit frequency.  
- Excess-power brainstorming: participants listed CO₂ capture (Bosch-Haber), water electrolysis, ore smelting, and grow-lights as productive sinks for surplus electricity; crypto-mining was dismissed as “boring” and environmentally questionable.  
- Bitcoin energy debate: claims that one BTC transaction equals 435 k Visa transactions were countered with arguments that miners often use otherwise-curtailed renewables and that fiat systems have hidden military energy footprints.  
- Mining practicality: a 5 Mbps LTE plan was judged marginal; latency losses of 6 s per block equal ~1 % lost mining time, and calculators like mycryptobuddy.com were recommended for realistic ROI estimates.  
- Autophagy & stem-cell function: kanzure linked the Nature paper “Chaperone-mediated autophagy sustains haematopoietic stem-cell function” (2020) as relevant to longevity research.  
- mRNA vaccine sequence data: kanzure questioned the unwieldy GitHub repo name “Assemblies-of-putative-SARS-CoV2-spike-encoding-mRNA-sequences-for-vaccines-BNT-162b2-and-mRNA-1273”; jrayhawk speculated it was for SEO.  
- SkyNet/Sia reference: kanzure shared https://siasky.net/ as a decentralized storage layer.
