 Let's be clear here: building makes you productive, knowledgeable and respected. But it can also make you overly attatched to your own creation and the tech/philosophy behind it. That emotional leash can clout the judgment of the brightest and most productive, prevent you from taking criticism, consider alternatives, etc.

 Let's be clear here... There's gonna be builders, philosophers, memers, whiners and more. We just gotta keep on keepin on doing whatever it is we do best, and take the time away when we need it.

As for Open Sats, its nowhere near transparent, but its the best option non influencers have to get by while the size of nostr and pool of funds flow is as small as it is.  Some projects will work out better than others. Some are outright going to go nowhere. But they all keep pushing on.

 Expressing concern helps builders… except when they ignore them.
The only good way to get any change done is really to steal market share from the dumb projects 
 This. 
 Let's be clear here

Boobies > Booty

 Disagree, that's not unanimous 
 Flat chested with wide hips + thick thighs is so much better than top heavy, un-athletic, and narrow hips 
 False 
 I strongly disagree..

😂 
 My mans 
 So controversial of you 
 Let's be clear here: if you don't like Twitter,  go to nostr, if you dont like nostr, go to the fediverse, if you don't like fediverse , go to the gnu chat thing ,if you don't like gnu thing, then create your own IRC, if your IRC sucks... then your ready to load up TempleOS 
 Finally someone with a respectable opinion.  
 Bad take 🙃 
 Hearth > Boobs, Ass

What a sadboii 
 #keepnostrweird 
 I don't understand the butt > boobs crowd. I simply cannot comprehend it. Although I could accept butt == boobs, but that's the farthest I'm willing to reach.  
 Thought of it. Breathed. Yes, yes. I can join butt == boobs crowd.  
 People can have their individual preferences. Allow people to like what they like & everyone can get along anyway. 😁

This last year I witnessed adult men tell other adult men this. 🤦🏻‍♀️ FML: the lack of maturity is gross. We live in a corrupt world. But we don’t have to be what society dictates. Why not allow your friends to be happy with their choices? It’s sad this needs to be said.

 Everyone says let's be clear here but NO ONE IS SPEAKING CLEARLY 
 What do you actually build? 
 sentrum 
 What's that? 
 Old people vitamins 
 That would actually make money! 
 https://github.com/sommerfelddev/sentrum 
 On ngit too.  Few. 
 I assume he meant created/authored, not contributed 
 This actually looks like an amzing peice of work.  Does it work on testnet too?  I'm using blocknotify rn for this, but would love to level up. 
 It does, that's how I tested it, although I struggled to even get any testnet coins 😂 
 Testnet4 merged today.  If you use sparrow wallet, I can send you some coins.  Or I could sent to npub

https://github.com/testnet4/awesome-testnet4 
 Thanks, I'll probably need them when I get back on it to upgrade to bdk 1.0 
 100 million sats sent to your npub ;)

 How do I get 'it'? Do I need to convert my nsec to an xpriv or something? 
 Npub is an encoded pubkey

nak decode npub

Will give it to you.

Notice the characters in your npub and taproot address are the same module prefix and checksum.

To spend just use your privkey.  Create a tx and sign with schnorr.  Sparrow wallet is a great example.

I'll write a web wallet at some point.  But I expect you know how to do this, p2tr 
 I'll try when I come back home, currently away on vacations, just shitposting 
 JFC are you the Satoshi of tesnet4? Sending out 1 tBTC just like that 🔥 
 There was this one time satoshi sent 50 btc to mike hearn! 
 I guess most people dont remember this.  But this happened.  Satoshi asked Mike Hearn to send him bitcoin as a test, and promised to send them back.

Mike sent 32.51 BTC

Satoshi sent back 32.51 + 50 BTC = 82.51 BTC

Some time after that, Mike became disillusioned with bitcon and rage quit the project.

82.51 BTC (worth around $5 million) are still there

 To build a product doesn’t involve just writing software

Users that provide feedback, debates on the right way to do things, etc 
 If you want to complain about me, though:
- nutminer
- reviewing NIPs and providing feedback
- nostr.land
- a custom relay implementation 
- relay.noswhere.com search relay
- new product still in progress 
 Who's talking about you? 
 My first response was about @sommerfeld. My 2nd one is because it is predictable that people will find some way to complain about my statement 
 You're a prolific dev sir. 
 This half ad hominem, half appeal to authority has to be the worst way to argue
