• A new “tippy-toes” superconductor experiment was shared on Twitter (Andrew McCalip) showing a shiny, highly conductive pellet that appears to levitate with no visible contact to the magnet, sparking discussion about Meissner-effect-based separation and pressing of the powder into pellets.  
• A second, newer Twitter account posted a short video of a levitating cylindrical pellet with black residue, claiming the powder was first sorted by Meissner effect and then pressed hydraulically; participants expressed skepticism about video quality and possible magnet misdirection.  
• Docl outlined two open-source process ideas for isolating superconducting crystals: (1) a continuous-flow gas-phase induction heater that briefly heats crystals and separates high-Meissner grains, and (2) spray-drying a slurry through a pneumatic nozzle into a plastic bag, noting apatite’s low solubility may require multiple solutions.  
• The channel debated how to establish prior art to prevent 20-year patents on room-temperature superconductor production, with docl volunteering to cite IRC and Twitter logs as evidence and asking whether such references are legally effective.  
• Participants criticized Twitter and other walled-garden platforms for poor archival reliability; they agreed to archive linked tweets via bots and emphasized backing up community knowledge to avoid loss during platform policy changes.  
• A side discussion on nootropics asked whether D-Theanine has any pharmacological activity or is simply not metabolized.  
• Technical side-thread compared IRC, XMPP, Nostr, Tox, and hypothetical Kafka-like or P2P-encrypted messaging protocols, weighing “frozen” simplicity versus extensibility, message-length limits, and mobile-friendly session management.
