    Cryptocurrency as the next significant stage for computing technology, not just an investment

    For whatever reason I've been thinking about how the first day/week/month of running bitcoin must have been like.

    The first 50 BTC mined from the genesis block went to an invalid wallet. So how were the first bitcoins obtained to be given to the people?
    It's my understanding that mining is the process of block rewards for hashing blocks full of transactions with a certain number of zero's prefixed based on the current difficulty. The first bitcoin blocks seem to only have one "coinbase" transaction each to a seemingly unique address.

    Does this mean Satoshi was running multiple instances of bitcoin on multiple machines? Can you configure bitcoin to generate new private keys for you each time you solve a block? Did he do this on purpose to look like a "group"? 

    Something happening with “polyend” next autumn?

    Wondering how people are enjoying their Trackers.

    I'm constantly on the fence about ordering one, but will probably eventually get one of every tracker on the planet.

    Can you adjust playback direction/speed per slice of a sliced sample? One of my favorite things to do is dedicate some slices to normal playback and others to ping pong/reversed/time stretched.

    Does the lack of synths onboard bother anyone? I've created synths out of samples plenty of times in Renoise but eventually I get to a point where I want more traditional sounds and alternate ways of achieving them.

    How is the file management system? I feel like having that massive jog wheel would help a lot in navigating sample folders. 

    The thing that bugs me the most about it is I don't really see how "portable" it really is. It doesn't have batteries or speakers so you basically need to plug this into power and some speaker where ever you go. It also seems rather large in demo videos. I don't even know where I'd put it in my currently cramped studio. I hope I'm wrong about all of this.

    I am being serious and I find it curious that you aren’t signed etc - do you gig/DJ or anything like that?? Have you sent off any demos to labels?

    A friend of mine who has worked at a few labels always said that if you want to be ‘big’ then spend 90% of the time you spend on music on promotion.


    I always hated the idea and hoped it isn’t the truth but I feel he has a valid point.

     

    I can’t imagine a label that releases similar stuff wouldn’t be interested in your output.

    Thats the unfortunate state of things, I simply do not have time to self promote. I'm also out of the loop of what record labels out there exist that put out this kind of music. I wouldn't turn down an opportunity if it were offered to me.

    Thanks for the kind words @Grain Bastard!

    You should submit your application for a seat on the council of master idm’ers if you haven’t already.

    LOL thanks :not_sure_if_serious:

    Pretty sure I'd need a label/album before that and the only people that know my music exists are in this thread.

    I'm late to this but, WOW!!! That really was incredible! I love how fast and hectic it is. I aspire to do drums like this, this is really really really good!! Do you actually have any tips for fellas trying to make stuff like this?? I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks!

    Every time I approach drums in a song its a little different to keep things interesting. I will say I usually stick to trackers of some sort like Renoise, Redux, and Nerdseq. I enjoy layering drum loops ontop of eachother and then cut them up to give them a more manic and noisy feel. Sometimes its best to just generate a bunch of drums by any means necessary then "fix"/rearrange in your daw.

    Unrelated to Papa John but this is a new one
