I voted for @ewarren in the 2020 primary and am a lifelong Democrat. The idea of building an "army" to fight the creation of an open, transparent financial system that increases economic freedom globally is beyond the pale. I am against any politician with this stance.

as promised, we just increased @base 's gas target 1.5x to 3.75 mgas/s this gives 50% more capacity and should drive down fees meaningfully, though there may be more demand we'll monitor through EOW, then increase to 5 mgas/s early next week if all looks well onwards!
