They pump FEAR FEAR FEAR... then cut to commercials for a car, then investment banking and then life insurance. Then back to FEAR AND PANIC. 😧🤯

Every family has a "money story" - I see it often as a teacher.

I’ve met countless Bitcoiners whose kids aren’t interested in Bitcoin despite their parent's efforts. [It’s a natural teenage rebellion, right?]

But it’s also because there aren’t many COOL projects for this demographic. That’s why I created a badass adventure that makes #Bitcoin and #Finance undeniably COOL.🔥

nostr:nprofile1qqsxugjjylrmak4hvhn5k2ddnqgvsereprgq9sdeunp3jhxa58dgafcppamhxue69uhkgctdw4eju6t09u8dzrma isnt’s not your typical "ORANGE PILL" project though - think of it as the orange pill crushed and dissolved into a lemonade. Subtle, fun, and far from preachy.

Kids will learn what a nonce is and the Byzantine General's dilemma in due time.

We talk money, time, energy and why #Bitcoin is one of the best tools we've ever created.

The harder our money, the better we are.

Time and #Bitcoin are the only assets where no amount of demand can create more supply.

The fact that Bitcoin isn't yet accepted everywheree and for everything really underlines for me how few people have actually used Lightning. Whenever I show somebody how it works, there's always that "wow" moment. But why was it a surprise?

The problem is that normal people still understand BTC from the one half-remembered opinion piece they read in 2017, and are operating under the belief that transactions still take an hour to settle, rather than being instantaneous and irreversible — money transmission without the Paypal Problem. The public mind needs a cache refresh.

Abundant money leads to scarce resources... The inverse is also true.

This can heal humanity and bring a 'one' consciousness.

BITCOIN &⚡LIGHTNING is *the* most important thing I could spend my time learning, building, and teaching. 🌏🗺

"Fix the money; fix the world," is REAL.

Here's some ideas:

-Meet people where they are in their understandings of money 💰
-Minimize trust, but be a person of "Trust Web"; integrity!
-Listen to normies concerns without offering solutions. Just listen. Consider why they think and feel this way.
-Never stop learning and reconsidering ideas, ethos and principles.
-Drill down to 1st principles of all things.

You sir are the man.


Mine hid from the Nazi SS in a barn during WW2 so if she had the technical capability, she'd be a #nostrich. She's still alive too.

Wow. Wild to think about.


Zoom out. Decentralized protocols and apps and things, a la web5 will hopefully.

Let it cook.


while I agree it would be good to have more content to explain nostr, it won't really matter given the current onboarding and product experience. it's way too confusing for folks, and generally not satisfying instantly. people will and do churn out.

if there's one thing to focus on (for the social media use case) it's search. both for people, but more importantly, topics. Twitter won because of search. it wasn't a social network. it was an information network, and it excelled at real-time because of real-time search. that's a base requirement now.

what nostr adds, and what will make it sticky, is the multi-app/use-case ecosystem. but each use case is going to have different needs for attracting people to it. search is table stakes for the social media one. it won't matter how good the tutorial content is until this is done right.

nostr has the benefit right now of having a completely open and wild API. that matters as every other service is closing down. it's perfectly OK that we mostly have devs and bitcoin-obsessives at the moment. we have time to get all the kinks out and make something that's truly hard to replicate. where the only way to compete will be to join.

nostr:note152dryp2q2m058t7wn7ymev9suladah30qezpq00jt03s622uyw6qu4g79w


You're a real one man.


I hope it does...

In the quest for good UX and an effective search, I think there's a crucial need for emotional engagement and FUN — qualities that captivate and retain users. And not just "logic".

While rad innovations like #zaps and key pair encryption, clients, relays (etc) are awesome, they won't keep users around with just abstract logic (bitcoin/money).

I think it's up to us to pass down the cool influences that brought us here, if we're self aware enough to discern them. It's the art, music and stories we grew up that led a lot of us here. But it's mostly overlooked.

Recognizing talent, like the UX designer behind nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5, and influential figures in these spaces is crucial. If we want Nostr to #compete.

There's a chance this might take another decade/new generation. And zooming out further, to really compete is to completely shift perspectives and worldviews. This is web5.

And so I see it as up to us to pass on the influences that got us here.

And tip your local client-tender folks. nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s nostr:npub1gcxzte5zlkncx26j68ez60fzkvtkm9e0vrwdcvsjakxf9mu9qewqlfnj5z


Yes we'll said. FOSS and decentralized systems are like this.


If it's not noncustodial, I'm not interested.
If it's not free and open source, I'm not interested.

Are you prepared for a high chain fee environment?

Liquid has been undervalued for a long time, here are the advantages:
- You forget about incoming liquidity problems.
- Confidential transactions
- Used in the same way as bitcoin, you forget about being "online".
- No known security flaws.
- Possibility of cold storage.

As disadvantages:
- It is federated, even so it is much more secure than an exchange or a lightning custody wallet, and if you use cold storage it is more secure than a hot wallet.
- In terms of scalability it is not a panacea either, it is just that now few people use it and that is why it is viable.

Some blockstream people advocate moving the ordinals to Liquid but if we do that then it will be Liquid who will suffer a high fee environment...and it will be Liquid functionaries who will earn that money in fees.

https://m.primal.net/HQbj.png

In short, it pays to know how to use and move in Liquid as well as Lightning to successfully deal with a high fee environment, but neither is a panacea.

Liquid is simpler to use than Lightning and has fewer bugs, has good privacy for both the receiver and the sender from an outside observer, on the other hand Liquid is federated and is not as scalable as Lightning.

And one of the points why I think Ligthning has had more adoption, is that with lightning you work directly with Bitcoin, it's not a sidechain, with Liquid you work with a token until you do the pegout, it's a sidechain.

That said, you need to use both, right now we don't have anything else.

2) Where exactly is the data stored? On these servers? Or my phones memory?

3) Who runs these servers/relays and WHY and what can they access?

Wish I could verify the code myself to all of it.

Incentives! Some of my school district management pulled me, unexpectedly on a Monday morning, into a meeting and pointedly asked me to give them a "wow factor" idea of how to spend a large sum of $ on technology.

I took a deep breath and hard pause... and then essentially pitched Bitcoin mining and heat waste recovery. They all took notes and discussed.

Out of body moment.

Found out later there's a corporate donor/tax write down wanting to also create some good PR for themselves. So looks like STEM high performance computers and 3D printers will be the end result. BUT still got to directly pitch the idea to all the decision makers. Raised eyebrows around.

Nostr is more like a real, human language than any programming language or data format, because the rules are made by the people who use it, not the architect or the compiler/runtime.

The meanings of words change, grammar develops, vocabulary expands and contracts. This happens naturally as usage ebbs and flows. Is nostr the first un-planned data protocol?


Nostrasia was amazing.
I'm simply baffled by the INSANE progress of freedom tech in the last couple years.
Keep building, peers, we're winning hard!


Actually a deep question.


I think inertia is leading us toward a quantified state, in which the costs of tracking and categorizing objects — primarily people, phones, cars, and money — as they move from place to place becomes so low that most institutions are doing it by reflex, without either considering or caring for consequences. Eventually, somebody is going to exploit the gap in information (between what is available to ordinary people, and what is available  to organizations) in a way that causes enormous, historic harm, as happened in WWII when a particular state realized that IBM had compiled a database that was perfect for populating a list of names of those who would soon be marched off to camps. And that was just census data. Now they know what you read, where you go, who you're with, and how you'll vote.

The unfortunate reality of contemporary political thought is that consequences do not exist until they are felt. Rare is the chicken that fears the farmer. That means we've got two options: we either wait for the pain, or we stop waiting for political consensus.

I took a hard pause and then did my best to advocate for a pilot program to heat part of the school with heat from Bitcoin mining.

Then pivoted to, essentially advocating for STEM.

Tomorrow I'm bringing my miners to my classroom, plugging them in, running ducts and going for it solo.

Follow up mining questions...

1. Any tips with the overall design?

2. The external fan in the duct... plebs said it should go on the INTAKE side to force more flow in. Thoughts?

Caveat: The external fan - I can wire in a dimmer to control the speed of the fan if that matters.

3. Should the OUTFLOW duct be attached to the side of the box and let the internal air circulate somewhat... or should is connect directly to the miner fan and power supply fan IN the box and then port out?

And yes. LONG LIVE PAINT hahaha.

MINING QUESTION: 80 IQ question hahah...

Suppose you had a couple S9s. And suppose you built a couple rectangle boxes for sound dampening and to use as a space heater.

And you have a small and low wattage fan built into a 5" diameter duct... about a foot long in length. Fan is in the middle.

How would you use this external fan? To help push air into the ASIC, OR  to blow the hot air out on the other side?

I'm gonna source a dimmer switch to hard wire into the external fan so I can essentially tune the external fans blowing power.

"Turn the internet off"

You dystopian overlord! 😁 lol.

Point is salient. But also... the zeitgeist *feels like this. Shelves are stocked, unemployment is low and economic output isn't declining... But things *feel worse - Millennials are getting crushed. And Gen Z is getting a Bill of Goods. (Pun intended). People are using these terms to mean: 'things feel bad/worse'.

The debt based fiat economy can't unwind; it would worsen everything, potentially triggering an *actual recession. To 'win' in the current system, people take on debt for life improvements (e.g., mortgages, school loans, car loans), but when inflation and rates rise, debts become unmanageable. It's a cruel game.

Which is a great "Why Bitcoin" starting point. 🙃😌 lol.


You get the original and the translated version in Damus, separated by a small text that reads “translated from [language]”

The issue with auto-translation being baked into Nostr clients is that the translation likely is missing the tone, nuance and fluency.

The approximation is in many cases not good enough to convert the original message.

I'd rather see the original message and then have an option to translate... so I know it's a translation, thus giving me some context.


This is the attitude. Life is so short. Do it all NOW. There is barely a tomorrow!

Fair point. The glaring missed "thing" for me is a music streaming protocol or plug in. Napster, but with Zaps essentially.

Spotify, which most people use, and the artists don't get any soverignty of how much they'd like to suggest for a stream or download and I certainly can't zap them.

It seems so obvious to me that building in Zaps to EVERYTHING is the direction we need to go.

If it were that easy.

🙏🕊 Big prayers tonight.


Unless someone is setting out to be a professional author (very hard), nobody should write a book to make money.

When I set out to write Broken Money, it was because I *had* to, not because I wanted to. Spending a thousand hours on something that I get a profit of $5/copy for is not my best use of time.

Any time I spent on my research business revenue generation content, or leaning harder into my venture capital partnerships, would have been better on an hourly ROI basis. I have to sell 40 books to equal each newsletter subscription on my website; clearly the latter is better financially.

Almost regardless of how many copies I sell, it's a bad ROI for me. I'm overworked and the fact that I wrote a book while maintaining my existing business stressed my relationship and social life. And further, I am reinvesting most of my initial profits; the first 1,000 copy profits go to the Human Rights Foundation Bitcoin Development Fund, and the next 4,000 copy profits will go towards making a video about money and why it's broken.

And all of it was worth it. When a creator has something in their head, it's painful until they get it out into the world. I wrote this for bad ROI but because I wanted it to be out there for people to read, period.

Will I make a profit? Yes. But at a much lower hourly rate than I make on other work I do. It's a negative profit compared to having reinvested that thousand hours into my other existing work. But I consider it to be more important, which is why I spent the time.

I wrote Broken Money because I had to. The book concept formed in my head after many years of writing and research regarding money, and it would have been increasingly distracting to *not* write it. I didn't realistically have a choice. I felt compelled to write it. Part of it was altruistic; I wanted people to learn from my total monetary framework thoughts over five years of research. Part of it was egotistical; I wanted to timestamp something in the world, in physical form, and put it out there. Maybe it's the low time preference part of me; I'd like something of me to be mentionable to people in the distant future who look back at this time.

My background has been a blend of engineering and finance, with both ironically pointed toward bitcoin.

I don't care where you buy it from, and you can pirate it if you want, but it benefits bitcoin and nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak if you buy it from his website.

Agreed. Most old electronics become e waste. Doesn't solve the issue though.


I had an excellent question once from a seminar participant: "What's the average lifespan of a mining rig and what happens to it at the end of it's lifespan? Is it landfill?"
AFAIK some parts might be recycled but the rest is landfill.

I was given 2 S9 antminers and after learning how they operate and testing them out... here are my thoughts. Likely, anyone mining has had a similar trajectory of cranial rumblings.

-They're LOUD. So to keep indoors would require some good sound dampening and piping.
-They aren't currently profitable. (But could be with a lower time preference if the Sats are stacked.) So to use as a heater is intriguing.
-The lifespan of these ASICs is short. So it's basically recycling and landfill after 3-5 years. Not great for sustainability 😐 All that metal and plastic mined. Oooof.
-Should I bother joining a pool or just lottery solo mine? Hm.

And that's where I am with this. Moore's law essentially guarantees the obsolescence of these rather quickly. Which is why a decentralized algo like the Monero one in theory seems better.

I'm open to more thoughts and perspectives. Advice?

"You'll own nothing and be happy."

With the prospect of 80-year mortgages, fractional ownership, a larger government presence, high taxes, and Universal Basic Income (UBI), it appears that traditional notions of ownership are evolving. While I remain open to these changes, I have an underlying resistance to this.

Being a proud owner of tangible possessions brings a profound sense of pride and responsibility. It's a deeply personal experience.

I don't have strong attachments to most items, for they're all mostly replaceable, but being able to care for and "own" something should be preserved as we embrace the advancements in AI and robotics.

The transformative impact of AI and robotics on humanity is undeniable, but the concept of owning things outright should remain an enduring part of our future.

Cars, houses, instruments, technology, digital property, books, clothes, bandwidth, food even etc... time to start thinking about how we enshrine ownership rights.


WRONGTHINK

I just got fired for wrongthink.

Then I find out that my bank account’s been frozen, too.

I try to get an Uber back home but no cars will pick me up.

How did Uber find out I committed wrongthink?

I check my phone and apparently I’ve been banned from Instagram for the same reason.

Then a social worker knocks on my door and takes my son from me.

They tell me I’ve endangered my son by exposing him to wrongthink.

The State will now house and re-educate him, ensuring that he is only exposed to Government-Approved facts.

I feel my heart rate increase.

I try to turn some lights on, but it looks like my power has been disconnected.

I remember that I have some cash upstairs, so I decide to use that to buy some food whilst my bank accounts are frozen.

But the grocery store tells me that it can’t accept cash. So now I can’t even buy food!

I think I have some vague recollections of people warning me about the dangers of a cashless society…

I call all my friends for help, but none of them want to talk to me. They’ve all been warned about my wrongthink.

They know that if they talk to me on the phone for too long, they’ll get punished as well.

I call the police to see if they can help me.

They say no, but I’m referred to a Government-Approved Mental Support Officer.

I tell her my situation, and she listens carefully.

Once I’m done, I hear the Officer get extremely excited.

She tells me that the Government has a new solution they’re trialing for people in my situation: a Euthanasia Care Package.

She says it’s my best option.

The best thing is that it’s $0 up front! They just charge a 58% tax on my estate.

I ask if there are any other options, as this seems a bit heavy-handed.

But she says that Euthanasia is perfect for people like me.

She stresses that it’s a voluntary decision, but then adds that the Government will continue to deny me services until I opt in to the Euthanasia Care Package.

I sit on the floor of my living room in despair.

How could all of this happen to me?

And just because I noticed that the TV was telling me lies?

I didn’t even break any laws.

These days it seems that there’s one set of rules for the people who repeat what the news tells them.

And another set of rules for the people who speak out about the continuous stream of inconsistencies and outright lies that we are force-fed every day at 6pm.

And these lies coming from the TV seem so obvious to me.

So I wonder how other people don’t notice them. Why don’t they say anything?

And then after a while I realise that they must notice them, but they’ve been forced to ignore their own eyes by this machinery of coercion.

You see, governments, media, and corporations are now so interconnected globally that they can move in unison to unperson anyone who doesn’t say that 2 + 2 = 5.

And so I was unpersoned for wrongthink.

As if I’d committed a crime.

But I wasn’t tried by a court, I was tried by this new judicial system.

Where there’s no evidence, no trial, and no judge.

Just a verdict and a punishment. https://image.nostr.build/6f113aceca586f65b002c038f8b300daf22562b073aa0b71633267f4be3b23eb.jpg


The people who crave control over us have lost. bitcoin + nostr are the final blows.


Nostr is still SO refreshingly awesome!

Every time I pop in and engage, there's so many people acting cool, helping each other, thinking critically and wanting to learn and build.

The real time convos about tech, computing science, Bitcoin etc has been second to none.

WGMI, happy Saturday Nostrinos!

🤙⚡🎯


It's an interesting sociological view to see how people's behavior evolved on Twitter.

That polarizing mud slinging and tribalism just got so so rampant. It's still there and the people that like it the most seem to like that aspect of it.

This is why Nostr and the people who hang out here is so refreshing. Open minded people, thinking critically, trying to learn more, helping each other and building up, not tearing down.


Nice recommendations. I want to know more about the functionalities and differences between Signal and SimpleX and then this new app you're bringing up. Signal requiring a phone number is a non starter for me. Plus they've been compromised a fee times. No thanks.

SimpleX isn't P2P is surprising. So your messages are sent via? Relays? The dev seems legit and lots of people vouch for it since I don't have the expertise to audit the code myself.

I run Tor and then SimpleX.

Will be interesting to try Keet.

I'll also check out Seth for Privacy's podcast.


Yes this is what I'm finding. It's wild. It's like tracing the roots of Bitcoin back to key pair encryption...

Like discovering not only the music you favourite musicians listened to but ones those musicians grew up on.


I don't use Signal but if it's not P2P then im melting.


Interesting. How is it different than signal?


I'm running android but shall see if there's a version....


Wait. JOHN MCAFEE HAS ENTERED THE CHAT


Ya know... it IS hahah


It's a good one. Haha. 🐇


Follow up. But now SimpleX is very compelling. So there's that too. But something about running PGP yourself is like using Bitcoin... first hand magic of computing science math.


Why wasn't I informed about PGP sooner? I'm waaaay late to it!

Daryn, I completely understand your perspective. To me, and hopefully to others as well, "value for value" does not equate to paying whatever you want.

I believe that many Bitcoin enthusiasts misinterpret this concept and use it to imply, "Since I'm paying in Bitcoin, any amount is better than using fiat currency!"

In reality, "value for value" primarily signifies that the exchange of money for goods inherently holds lasting value. Bitcoin exemplifies this principle, whereas fiat currency falls short in this regard.

I think we need to share this definition PLUS the practice of offering a few - not just one - peoce options for customers. Sort of like buying gas or a tiered subscription model.

Example:

1000 sats price to sustain
2000 sats is the price plus a "🤙⚡tip"
3000 sats is the price for 🤙⚡ plus X variable throw in.

Hahah.


Bitcoin requires and deserves ONGOING learning IMO. Stage 1 is learning the beginner basics, getting a cold wallet and managing yoir own keys. It's a very big deal to just get here. So congrats! 👏

But then there's *so* much more. Continual practice is very useful for yourself, but also for adoption and spreading awareness...

Send yourself sats.
Create new addresses.
Try new wallet interfaces.
Practice coinjoining.
Use a sidechain/federation.
Do an atomic swap.
Send yourself a message on PGP.
Use a new method of key storage.
Use multi-sig.
Spend says at a local merchant.
Run a Bitcoin node.
Manage a Lightning Node.
Buy an older miner.
Join an online forum/group.
Go to a meetup or conference.
Code something useful.
Gift someone a Satscard.
Read a new book.
Listen to a new podcast.

Etc. I know I missed some...


I don't blame the people. Many are doing their best and trying but we're taught so little about finance in a fiat centralized system. I'm realizing how difficult it is to exit this system.

But I hear you. The cypherpunk ideals must be PRACTICED.


Lol. Sadly... many many more


Singularity.


Yes. If this can be done in a pure, decentralized and trustless/secure way... then its a game changer. It could even subverting.


The most troubling psyop/gaslight aspect of the food industry today is the way regular, naturally grown vegetables and fruits are no longer called by their traditional names, like 'Tomatoes' or 'Apples.'

Instead, they're labeled in exotic manners like 'Heirloom' or 'Organic,' while the genetically modified, pesticide heavy, bland varieties have taken over the regular/natural names.

Wouldn't it be more honest/accurate to label these GMO versions as 'GMO Tomatoes' or 'Heavy Pesticide Apples' instead of whitewashing it?

It's a deep form of dystopian-esque "doublespeak" that deserves to be considered.

...

And FWIW... if it's been a while since you've eaten REAL tomatoes and chicken, beef or fish I strongly and highly suggest you do. You can literally taste the difference.

This is blowing my mind. The idea is simple... swap keys to the coins instead of the coin balance themselves. This impacts mining then for sure.

RGB looks really interesting. I need time off work just to go down all the rabbit holes. So fascinating.


Agree.


This is ridiculously smart if it can be pulled off in a very very secure, trustless manner.

Very clever.


Interesting. Stacker news ran an AMA today about Drivechain and some other bleeding edge ideas. I'm pretty opposed to drivechain but the AMA really challenged some of my ideas, gave me new ones and of course confirmed others.

Bitcoin as a P2P money in a merchant setting just hasn't happened. At all. Bitcoin broke into the collective conscience in 2017-2018 IMO but in the following 6, almost 7 years merchant acceptance is painfully slow to uptake. Not enough has been built. So much attention elsewhere.

I agree with some of what drivechain is trying to do. Build out Bitcoin.

I'm still not for modifying L1 on unproven untested theory. But I agree with some of the ideas here.

Liquid is good but it's a totally custodial trusted peg-in system.

Lightning is cool but has issues too.

Bitcoin needs to be built out at the scaling layer since we kept blocks small. And retail needs to be pitched harder to accept it.


Incredibly relaxing. https://fb.watch/nnrozbp4ad/?mibextid=NnVzG8 I miss working in construction sometimes. Was my summer job for about 15 years. Learned about bridging in this one opposed to just blocking. 🙃


On a surfing trip years ago, one rainy night around the campfire, my friend Ali said he believed the meaning of life was a math equation - but he wasn't sure what it was.

I mean... I'm not saying #Bitcoin is, but I mean... we're getting closer.

Haha.

I don't know how long this will last, but wow, #Nostr is so refreshing and inspiring to just scroll through!

Everyone has different posts, but for the most part all with the same motivation behind it:
- Eat healthy
- Focus your energy on your goal(s)
- Spend time outside
- Train your body
- Train your mind
- Don’t throw away your valuable time
- Read books
- Help each other
- #DCA and stack all you can
- #OrangePill everyone you can
- #PurplePill everyone you can
- Cherish your family

I mean, it's all things I already do, but it's just nice to not see some skinny tea post trying to convince me that if I give them my money, I'll get skinny, or a travel blogger posting about some terrible hotel because some agency paid them to say it's a great hotel, and if I give them my money, I'll get a 5% discount with their promo code.

I guess what I'm feeling is less fiat noise created by fiat NPCs and it feels nice!

I am thankful for all of you guys here and I love watching this place of #freedom being built!

I have been actively using Bisq for more than a year (selling btc) with no scams, but recently was hit by two SEPA chargebacks from two different people and Bisq onion addresses.

Still trying to understand what happened, my bank is slow to explain ...


What things do any of you use PGP for? Recommendations please!


I'm tired. But I don't want to sleep. My laptop is syncing Core and Bisq was so interesting to see... reminds me of Napster/Torrents p2p file sharing days back in the day.

Have a good week everyone! Keep positive and keep building the world we all want to see. 🌎 🌄


Yes! Ha. Great weekend ⚡✅ Feeedom tech is addictive. So liberating to run your own Nodes and decentralized/censorship resistant  programs.

I did noting too. 📝


Yes but even further... firmware, updates, and the kernel. Are those lower levels of code abstractions open sourced? It's a scale. A nefarious kernel attack is one of the most overlooked/difficult places.

Many "open source" projects only "open source" some parts of their project and then get called out on it afterwards.

From here you can even go deeper... is the hardware build auditable and all of the first layer abstractions? Likely not. So you have to trust the kernel implementations and Nvidia or whomever builf the hardware too.


Regardless, Satoshi remaining anon and disappearing only makes the project stronger Ina sense.


Yeah. The len sassaman thread is compelling. As is Dorian and Hal angle.

Makes you wonder though. Ina  web of cloak and daggers who was working for who's behalf.

It's quaint to believe it was all altruistic super shadowy coders in their basements but the truth could be a bit more... organized?

We're also forgetting that there was little foresight that even if such a decentralized monetary open sourced program COULD be put together that it would catch on and succeed.


"Open source" is a phrase I feel is about to be mass co-opted.

Just like "decentralized". Just like "crypto".

Open source is a scale/spectrum. And too many quasi or tenuous 'open source' projects are using it liberally.

Just because you have some code on github doesn't make it 'open sourced'.

Cool weekend of learning and testing! ✅⚡

-Went down the Bisq rabbit hole. 🐇 #RunningBisq

-Downloaded Core and synced a node. #RunningBitcoin

-Came across some Core devs I didn't know about. 👀

Now I'm curious:

-'PGP' key encryption. Is this still being used? What are some practical applications of it? I also run SimpleX so is this preferred? I see more and more devs and plebs indicating that they have a PGP.... 🤔👀

-Bisq has a large spread of about 4 or 5% and LOW liquidity in my national currency. Considering this, I'm slightly surprised more people aren't using Bisq to arbitrage. Why not? I can't see why a large exchange might not do this and provide liquidity for a 5% fee. 🤔 I know that selling BTC back to national fiat isn't "the way" but there are some strong arbitrage incentives. nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6

Figured it out. Bisq seems cool but it's essentially a facilitator of decentralized P2P private transactions. And going to/fro fiat will KYC yourself.

So looking at any methods to mitigate. Some people suggested using Strike. So looking into this now... lol.

Agree haha it was


Many are angry about inflation but few are buying #Bitcoin. Still early.


Whenever I get discouraged by the current state of freedom tech adoption, it helps to remind myself that this is a long term mission.

If you're into #bitcoin and #nostr now, you're a pioneer in a global awakening.

It may be a long road from here to a world of freedom: the freedom to transact, the freedom to store your time in a theft-proof way, the freedom to speak your mind.

Day by day it can feel like we're creeping towards our goal. But when you zoom out, it's incredible how far this freedom movement has come.

Bitcoin will win.
Nostr will win.
Freedom will win!

"Join the wait list". 😒 Yeah no. KYC and paid checkmarks are lame-o. Period. How to make  walled garden even lamer. 😖 FOSS all the way.

What is this magic?!


So Satoshi's last confirmed correspondence was April 23, 2011 when he said he's "moving on to other things" and the price was ~$2.50 per coin. (From what I can find).

Assuming his stack was (only) about 750k-1million coins... would put him at a value of about 2million+USD on the day he publicly walked away.

Makes you think.


nostr:npub1tsgw6pncspg4d5u778hk63s3pls70evs4czfsmx0fzap9xwt203qtkhtk4 can you grab bitcoin daily average price data from 2011?


Less Bitcoin takes... more electric guitar reveal.

You look like a Strat or PRS guy?

Haha. 🤠🤙


Omg! Nooooooo


Hahaha. This quote, (said in his voice) is always awesome. 🤙

But on this logic... Satoshi is the ultimate uncle.

Uncle -toshi! Hahaha


Well said 🙏✅🤙⚡


Heard the news from Block today. Serendipitously, I spent 2hrs and 50 minutes on web support with Square today to do something I feel should be easy (altering the receipt email signature). nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m

😦 I mean, happy that we solved it... but...

Almost 3 hours later and 2 levels of experts later (and 4 screenshots and 5 test transactions...) I finally got a right solution from Square. 😖

I'm hoping it's not a microcosm of larger issues. But seeing how the past month has gone...

Its likely an issue of growth. When the "senior execs" come in, how do you retain the adventurous and bleeding edge spirit?

I can imagine the pressures and weight of the crown so to speak. (Hope it's motivating and exhilarating too!)

My proof of work speaks for its self www.evoseducation.org and I'd jump at a position to help at Square/Block consulting or leading. (I'll keep an eye out for postings). Leaving the classroom is Ange's and I goal in order to make change on a larger scale. I believe in smooth friction payment rails and BTC/LN very strongly.

Shooting my shot today. (And every day! 😏🤙⚡) Thanks for reading. (Tips hat)


(I am too ⚡🤙)


Haha. You are "that" uncle. And I'm here for it!

Client drama shows you what people actually value.
If they value their integrity, or being on the “good side” of shit companies.
If they truly care about freedom tech, or if they want to keep their connections.
If they are going to be honest, or if they will blatantly lie and play the victim.


I'm ride or die with Astral.ninja . Deal with it 😏


I'm trying to think of a hashtag for all of us to put on photos of our latest #bitcoin sticker spots.

It would be so cool to be able to see all the latest stickers by searching that hashtag on Nostr.

Any ideas?

#asknostr


The combination of a keyboard without spellcheck on my graphene OS plus no delete on nostr is pretty devastating 😂

Anyone got a FOSS keyboard app they like for android ?


Wait. What? Hahah


Too wild. ⚡


Please show the electric you're playing too 👀 haha. It's only fair.


Cold card is great too but more in cost.


Jade. It's low cost, and solid.


Oh wow. Niiiiiice. Love me some DIY projects but for this I'm looking for plug n play


Any one have this or have any thoughts on this? Seriously considering getting 1 or 2...

Nice


#Zapathon is cool... but what about a day to celebrate all things #Bitcoin and #zap so hard the skies all across the globe are painted purple and orange?

We need bigger symbols to grab people's attention.

🟠🟣


Cool idea!


Awesome.

Hm. Then a global one.

Boom. Now we have the next generation of kids able to communicate worldwide.


I just solved the culture barrier 🤯... hear me out...

Teach kids a general vocabulary of the universal sign language (is it ASL? I don't know...) at a young age.

And now, boom. International and intercultural cooperation and understanding.

Um... I'll accept the nobel prize now thanks.

😏😂


CTRL + C...

Then,

LQWD on the Canadian venture exchange. I don't know much about the company or leaders. So make of it what you shall...

Slightly off topic but I just learned about a company that went public in Canada trying to make money off of Lightning channels.

The stock price was been decimated so either it was always a low key pump n dump or a pie in the sky hope that Lightning and routing fees would become more than they already are.

Most households in the “west” are insolvent.

Inflation of necessary goods is outpacing wage inflation.

The Trudeau administrations threats for national price controls are a signal that fiat demise is accelerating. Shortages and UBI incoming.

Opt out of the insanity and deception.

Dump fiat. Acquire #Bitcoin


Friendly reminder for all #Nostr users: people can change their opinion of something at any time for a multitude of reasons.

Don't hold someone to an old opinion from an old note.

Allow growth and the grace to admit an opinion has changed. 👍💯✅

Says the person in their 20s lol. I agree tho... guy in my 40s


Um. (Glances around) As a huge comic fan as a kid... I didn't really like any of the Marvel Movies that much. Logan was amazing. But otherwise... 🤔😬 just the same cardboard story arc told over and over. I get that it's for kids so maybe teenage me would have liked them a lot.

Zack Snyders Justice League is good though and Christopher Nolans Batman trilogy was 🔥.

Happy Friday everyone!


Good points. In Canada a major grocer conglomerate just posted record profits. ~50% YOY profit increase. It's obviously a tough statistic to hear.


https://twitter.com/TPostMillennial/status/1702426920602714289?t=SCMnyXGUzJTRe7gGIkvBSA&s=19

Obviously price gouging, especially when it comes to an essential area like food, is a cause for concern. Especially when there isn't a ton of competition between grocery conglomerates.

But to gaslight the public and try to place the blame for rising costs squarely on these companies seems wrong too. Inflation was caused in Canada by government spending and quantitative easing/cheap money printing. Period.

I don't have a quick answer how to stop price gouging but this isn't it. Threatening taxes and price controls. Nooo!

This us a result of such an artifical system like fiat.

The whole system needs to blow up but instead the federal governments just want more control and more taxes to keep the entire charade going.

So dystopian. 😧🤯😖

Tag: nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe this is just such a disappointing take/response. 😖 the grocers have little to do with any of this.
