I've been making a lot of excuses to not run a miner, to not have dedicated hardware for a node instead of running core on my laptop. Enough. When my baby stack on exchange hits cold storage, I'm done stacking until I'm fully built out to be part of the protocol. It hurts to use money for something else tbh, but at some point the ecosystem has to be the priority over the stack. Sad I didn't do it sooner but I'm done. Said here as a way to convey it to my brain so thanks for being my own peer pressure, nostr. Time to do my part.
