WTF is wrong with Uniswap? I hit confirm and nothing happens. Up the slippage, change the token amount, and still can't get past confirm.

nvm it just worked now after trying for the last 15 minutes. Of course the price went up during that time:martin:

ya that’s what probably resulted in you not being about to make a purchase at the time…if it’s a real coin (not a meme) whose long-term value I believe in then I’ll up the slippage as high as 10% if the price is moving up kinda fast…I risked getting sandwiched by bots but I didn’t mind temporarily “overpaying” if I strongly felt a coin would surpass that price in the long run…with unibot tho this has never been a problem…so far I’ve had zero issues buying or selling *knocks on wood*

It was set to auto which was 4.5%. I went to 5, 7, 10, 12 and 15% and nothing. It finally went through later at 5% :aicmon:

Btw the coin is BBANK. I'm seeing too many traders I follow mentioning it. I normally don't get caught up in that 100x talk but I don't usually see multiple accounts I trust on the same coin. I don't think they're shilling either so I bought a small amount so I don't miss out in case it does take off. It's been on a run lately so I just put in $100 which is 3000 tokens. If it dips I'll go for 10,000 tokens but that's it.

Mcap is like 16 million.

Marathon Digital Holdings Launches Landfill Methane-Powered Bitcoin Mining Pilot Project | Nov 6, 2023





In a press release, Marathon Digital Holdings announced a partnership with Nodal Power, a renewable energy developer and operator, to launch a pilot project for mining bitcoin powered solely with energy derived from landfill methane. The already-active 280kW mining project is located in Utah and represents a step forward for the companies in implementing environmentally beneficial bitcoin mining technologies.

Marathon’s announcement comes after the release of a report co-published by Marathon and Bitcoin Magazine Pro: “Cashing in on Trash: Bitcoin Mining Offers an Economical Solution to Mitigating Landfill Methane Emissions” outlining the potential for bitcoin mining to profitably reduce methane emissions from landfills. According to the report, over 50% of U.S. landfills vent their methane emissions directly into the atmosphere, meaning they employ no greenhouse gas emissions mitigation solutions. This trend of vented methane represents both an environmental problem — methane emissions are 80x more potent in terms of the greenhouse effect compared to CO2 — but also an economic and energetic inefficiency, with massive quantities of the energy dense gas not being put to any use.

“Do you want to pay to be compliant, or be paid to be compliant… if you’d rather be paid, you should look into bitcoin mining”, Marathon’s Chief Growth Officer Adam Swick said in an interview with Bitcoin Magazine on the topic of increasing federal methane regulation at U.S. landfills.

In a request for comment, Swick framed of the cost-benefit analysis for landfill owners, highlighting the emerging alignment between environmental health and the profit-seeking incentive of mining: “to any landfill owner, municipality, private or public entity that has a landfill and is struggling with what to do with their methane – we'd love to talk about how to improve economics at your site and my belief is that you'll be highly impressed with what bitcoin mining can do for your landfill.” Swick went on to say that this “really is one of those rare win-wins” from both an ESG and capitalism perspective.

This launch of the Utah pilot project and continued exploration of bitcoin mining’s ability to bolster environmental protection and critical energy infrastructure come at a time when discussions are ongoing with regards to data center energy use more generally, such as those engendered by the Biden Administration’s “Executive Order on the Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence”.

While this 280kW implementation is a small step in rolling out landfill mining operations, Swick noted the potential magnitude of mitigating landfill methane through Bitcoin’s incentives: “People are just starting to wrap their heads around how big of an environmental impact this is because again, people hadn't even considered these stranded landfills in the past because there was no other solution. So this can be bigger than people think.”
