    Everything there is to know about Flashbots

    > “Less trust, more truth.”

    What a neat platitude that means absolutely nothing. As a society, over, oh I don't know, like 5000 years, we figured out the the best way to enforce truth is via some sort of centralized institution: the court of law.

    > They could, right. They sort of do—there’s the star thing that you can only do once per day. But guess what? They're a profit-motivated company. So if you pay Tinder enough, you can just send as many stars as you want.

    Wait, crypto miners aren't profit-motivated? Maybe we should introduce Mr. Wood to flashbots[1] -- a "sub-network" of Ethereum miners (a fork of geth) who's entire purpose for existing is front-running. Truth as long as you can pay for it -- got it. Web3 is end-stage capitalism and we've been down this road in the early 1900s. Yawn.

    steps:

    1. create a MetaMask wallet and and add funds to it with your friendly neighborhood Bitcoin ATM (they do ETH too).

    2. learn the Ethereum stack on eth.build and create a program in the language known as Solidity.

    3. create a web3.js app that talks to your Solidity contract.

    4. People with wallets installed as Chrome extensions can then navigate to your web3.js app (which can be hosted on a regular webserver), and send funds to/otherwise engage with your contract.
