Cocoa has more than tripled in cost over the past year and is up 129% how are people going to get through a recession without a little bit of chocolate to hold them over

I wonder how this translates into prices or will they smooth this out via #shirnkflation?

Get ready for even wider spaces in your toblerones!

It's helping some African's I mean its the first time we have access to a hard money, we never really had a gold standard here, once we as citizens received property rights in a post-colonial world, we were firmly in the fiat system

Its a tiny sliver of people who have figured out Bitcoin is the ultimate offshore investment and for some remittance cases it works out better than getting shafted by Western Union

But the continent has a long way to go, Bitcoin can't help you have no capital to save, or if you're a net consumer of your income which is the vast majority of people here

The way I see it is Bitcoin is part of this global wealth redistribution phase and some of it will make it here and won't sit on that capital but use it to unlock further deflation by launching businesses, creating jobs, offering services in remote regions that never had access before, oh  and pulling all the wealth we have sitting in the ground out to be used locally and not shipped overseas for USD

It's going to be a grind for sure, but I've never been more hopeful,

The local soccer club also doesn't allow people in unless they're part of the club, same with the hockey and tennis courts, funny thing is these places are bear empty and hardly used, I don't get why people are so arsey about it

Yes if you've coinjoined you want to preserve privacy going forward by dealing with people who wouldn't want to know your identity, you could sell P2P if you needed cash, purchase gift vouchers or purchase directly with merchants who accept bitcoin

I also doubt you could even send coinjoined coins to some exchanges, I've already seen some say they don't want to deal with the headache

I guess you can always keep a dox'd stack if you need to use an exchange and the rest you keep mixed, all up how you value your privacy.


Lol is it mobile friendly? And did you hire big graphics to design it


Lol I like that term hiestflation, yeah we gotta sensationalise the scam, I'm guilty of falling for the click bait on this one, I mean she started scamming around 2014 so her total cost basis might have been considerably lower, not that she didn't make off with a fair bit in RMB to start with

Lol exactly if you're argument is we're getting solar flared back into the stone age, we've got bigger problems and you're gold isn't going to save you either, such a borked argument, and screams of desperation.

Whenever I ask a gold bug how you going to spend gold in your view of the future, they always say oh with a custodian and a card, that requires technology and 3rd party risk you knob head


My condolences to your node, hope you have a backup, I'm still using startOS for the moment, is it worth moving back to Umbrel?


Welcome to the nostrverse 😉 I'm in marketing too, but focus mainly on SEO


I had a chat with a gold bug yesteryday just listening to his reasoning, and his like Blackrock owns Bitcoin, its over, he doesn't know about nodes or consensus so a big part of the value prop was lost on this guy

I also found it funny how they have a distrust of the system, but trusts some regulated custodian who can be single point of failure. Its like saying I distrust the system, i got bitcoin but I keep it on coinbase lol wtf?

Imagine you were born in one of the richest countries in the world, with an area as big as the entire territory of the European Union. All the wealth is in the hands of a narrow group of corrupt oligarchs, while the population of the country simply survives on food loans.

This is what #Kazakhstan looks like today, where the regime is kept in place only through brutal repression and Putin's army, ready to crush peaceful protests at the first call of the Kazakh president.

As soon as you dare to put a like under a post criticising the authorities or participate in a protest, you are declared an extremist, a terrorist, a threat to national security or a money launderer.

The police will not only torture you to death after your arrest, they always take hostages of those you care about most. Your son or daughter may be kidnapped and killed to "make you come to your senses".

Your only chance of escape is to get on EU or US politicians' political prisoner lists. Kazakhstan is very keen on international recognition, trade and these are the only leverages for the release of political prisoners.

But let's look at another situation. You are not an activist. You're just a sympathiser and you've decided to donate to support the politically persecuted or support an opposition movement.

🔻What then? You'll be charged with „funding extremism” or „laundering money” in a secret court. You, your family members will all be financially excluded immediately. You can work informally for cash, but it is becoming increasingly difficult.

In such situations as described above, p2p exchange of cash for #bitcoin becomes the only salvation for you, how to protect your resources from illegal searches by secret police, banal theft and in general safety, transfer of your value.

🔻But the party did not last long: Kazakhstan's regime decided to take the tool away from the financially excluded and criminalise p2p cash-to-cryptocurrency exchanges in line with FATF/G7 recommendations.

Protecting such people as politically repressed is almost impossible for human rights defenders with this approach. This is one of the main factors why negative language towards bitcoin/p2p exchanges should not be allowed in the regulation of democracies.

🔻Kazakhstan primarily targeting those who use p2p transactions, mostly with cash for bitcoin and #USDT. On 12 March 2024, Kazakhstani media reported that a resident of Astana was imprisoned for 2 years and 6 months with confiscation of property for "illegal p2p-exchange of cash for cryptocurrency".

🔻Follow how fast was reaction of regime: on 4 March 2024, the Financial Monitoring Agency of Kazakhstan announced that it "observes the presence of illegal transactions of individuals with cryptocurrency (purchase, sale, payments for goods, works, services, transactions via P2P)".

Already on 12 March, the first demonstrative "verdict" on conducting "illegal" p2p exchanges of cash for cryptocurrency was announced.

🔥Question to #Nostr: What solutions do you have to protect individuals doing #cash to bitcoin p2p exchanges in such countries?

p.s. This is a photo of the family of a peaceful Kazakhstani man, 31-year-old Zasulan #Amangeldinov, a father of three.

He is one of the victims of torture and mass shootings involving Russian troops in January 2022. The reason for his arrest and torture by pouring boiling water on him in the Almaty pre-trial detention centre is that he was a witness and victim of mass shootings. Zhasulan was financially excluded as a „suspected extremist”. https://image.nostr.build/6c232005184526ff8dd062db901d12cd5543774069ab30cb727d941fced72d46.jpg https://image.nostr.build/07db392ff4c3eee48738a498b868e81530197d3fe96243246c5807407c9e101c.jpg https://image.nostr.build/db954b9c16a657291a5517769917be145524c240a1ee3fdfdc2667d55739318c.jpg https://image.nostr.build/b3995837c782730e0d3b75b9213b28f53e86fc6f2e9d810242e35086052f269c.jpg

For sure, we all have to start at 0 with bitcoin, as the wealth redistributes, new businesses and opportunities will form, wealth doesn't get erased just moves to those who value it and use it wisely


Lol funny they didn't raid their US treasuries, I mean thats the base asset of the monetary system, its oh so valuable


Lol slurp slurp, the only way I can get through these excel sheets


Not for those who didn't switch over, but hey we all get Bitcoin at the right price


🤡🌏
https://m.primal.net/Hmfg.jpg


Agreed, I did some searching for extra context but nothing yet, 61,000 BTC is no small operation


Lol unexpected helicopter money


Lol why do you want to hurt me like this?


"I've been in Bitcoin since 2013"

"Oh so you must have a lot of coins then!"

Me:

Ethiopia’s biggest state owned bank shut down withdrawals and payments after their tech let a group students bank run their service. Students found out they were able to withdraw funds from the ATM well over their balance and happily took advantage of the airdrop.

News quickly spread of the free money back and by the time it was caught by the bank more than $40 million had been siphoned off.

Don't worry funds are SAFU, lol says the bank!

https://www.africanews.com/2024/03/20/ethiopian-bank-seeks-to-recover-millions-lost-after-technical-glitch/


Exactly at least tell us what the funds are from, a hack? Wheres the details on origin of funds? Also htf did they even manage to buy that much bitcoin with whatever original source?

That's not easy to pull off.

Where do you go to purchase 65k BTC in secret from funds which I assume comes from china?


Welcome to the club, we like to do push ups here, well until Bitcoin hits 100k but still every bit counts towards fitness right?


Welcome, you should also check out,

https://lightning.video/discover

You can publish nsfw content on there and paywall it with sats


Lol I got the same vibe the details are so sparse, what is the money linked to? How was she able to liquidate the bitcoin previously? How is she proving income to purchase homes?

Feels like a chatGPT written story, at least say details to follow, bla bla, geez, the BBC is sloppy

Oh and why is it only this chick surely if you're pulling off a multi-billion pound raid you're taking down several people


Nigerians are living in the future, If you're already at Naira/Satoshi parity might as well start pricing everything in Bitcoin, am I right?

https://thebitcoinmanual.com/articles/1-satoshi-1-naira/


Lol Bitcoin is running and we need some FUD to keep out retail. Apparently a former takeaway worker from Leeds was found with Bitcoin worth more than £2bn but instead of practicing good OPSEC she was trying to liquidate the Bitcoin to buy homes and other assets

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-68620253


Lol only way to keep the housing ponzi going is to keep importing exit liquidity for boomers, selling skilled and semi skilled migrants on leveraging themselves to the tits to get a piece of the dream


This hit me harder than I expected


The relay network is just our flimsy V1. Once people get used to sign stuff with private keys in self custody, the transfer of the data can happen in hundreds of different ways. The most revolutionary part of Nostr is to get people signing. Everything else will fall into place in time.

Its definitely an idea that should be part of the ecosystem, mini grids as well. Its facinating watching mining evolve, grow to size where they become a target and then have to find a new home

I think theres plenty of untapped energy sources around the world waiting for miners to come and bootstrap it


Its pretty sweet knowing it goes directly to the person with no company scalping a few basis points in between

Lol gotta spend and replace or that satoshi regret will hit like a tonne of bricks, trust me you don't want this, I have seen this, it hurts


Lol its always humbling, you know when you really get your ass handed to you when the block you're in doesn't hit the average 10 minutes and you like wtf? I've had one where the next block took like 3 hours to solve I was shitting myself


I never use coinbase, I actually had funds stuck on there for a while and they were giving me shit to get it out and I finally got access to it so I can safely shut down that account now, stoked about that.

It's a remnant of my shitcoin days I want to forget


Lol sometimes I feel like my soul wants to leave my body as I reference my mempool.space on my node like confirm dammit, give me a sign


Lol team shitting my pants waiting for 1 confirmation


Glad I'm not the only one, funny how we're all so chilled with Lightning like sure zap this, zap that but when you're on mainnet you're as serious as a heart attack


I have been stacking sats for several years now, and I still feel like when it's time to do on-chain Bitcoin I need a safe and quiet space to do it without any distractions

I set up a new hardware wallet today to start a new stack and pulled some funds off Coinbase and I have to say even after all this time, doing it so many times, I still sweat bullets like I am disarming a bomb and all I am doing is pasting a public key into an exchange

I wonder if this feeling ever goes away

https://media.tenor.com/tDfXlJnVctgAAAAC/sweating-nervous.gif


Lol I feel you I went through the same unlearning process myself, but once you start to price everything in Bitcoin, things start to make a lot more sense.

Sure some stocks, shitcoins, and other assets can appreciate in purchasing power over short periods of time faster than bitcoin like we see with NVIDIA for example, but can they buck the trend?

I doubt it, Bitcoin in terms of time, effort and risk versus reward is alien which is why i think it takes so long to get your head around it


YouTube and Txitter finfluencers making their bullish case for #shitcoins with the help of charts and technical analysis be like:

Inflation is %3.2 but you have to be okay with paying $22 for a burrito?

Even if that's compared to 2018 prices as the owner mentions prices before COVID still something like 12% increase annually

Sure there's a network effect and de-googling is hard, but people are still free to choose, no?

You can self host your email, you can use a VPN or tor, you can use an open-source browser, you can de-index your site for google only but have it open to other search engines.

Google sucks in many ways don't get me wrong, i'd love to see more disruption in search, and content distribution, but the incentives are still pretty strong and honestly I feel like its google's to lose, not anothers to win, it has to be a major self inflicted wound for google to lose market dominance in search


No ones forcing you to use Google, use another search engine, this is just for someone who has a forum and might want to get some traffic to their site, relax


Google adding a Forum filter for content, basically just site:reddit search but hopefully it will include other forum sites too, like Bitcoin talk, stacker news and any nostr clients that will play in this space

If your client does focus on forum style content, consider adding DiscussionForumPosting schema to your page templates so the Goog gets it

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


I made a batch the other day, was banging, but I'm still more of a ginger beer maxi


Apart from maybe the javascript, ccs library compression, image compression and caching tips the rest doesn't really matter all that much

It your sites really slow though or you're targetting regions with slower internet your best bet would just to serve an AMP version of your site


100%, you just handle vol with your allocation and time duration, the vol is only affecting you if you're trying to time the market, not spend time in the market.

Unfortunately, a lot of people want to time the market and compress returns and get taken out on a stretcher or stay off the field because they refuse to learn the rules of the game


The way I see it is people will avoid personal responsibility like the plague, if you're hodling your own keys and you lose them tough titties you only have yourself to blame, but with other investments you can always point to some external rugger as the failure or hope you get bailed out if you're in tradFI

Bitcoin is scary because its all on you, a fact I think ETF holders will also learn the hard way


This meme slaps

We don't have direct access to the US stock market here in South Africa, you have to do it through shitty local ETFs and we also have capital controls, which is why a lot of South Africans hold shit local stocks that underperform like crazy in USD terms, but in local terms people think they're getting shit rich on paper

Some people still have hope in these assets because they can't see the difference between real returns and nominal returns and Bitcoin just looks like a volatility circus


Lol some people have got half way there and then fell off I suppose, I too shitcoined and learned my lesson, and paid for it dearly

Anyone holding crypto is in it for more fiat, they still have the same mindset the asset doesn't matter, its all a meme trade in the end.

People still think more dollars is the solve, and they'll get more dollars for sure, you get what you optimise for, but it won't be what they think it is, I always remember my mates from Zimbabwe saying its crazy to think I am a starving billionaire lol

I always think about that, and I tell my friends that, when they ask why don't i "take profits", would you take profits in Zimbabwean dollars or Argentine Pesos no? You're already in the superior asset lol wtf?


Indeed, we've all been told to save your money and look for ways to make it grow, but why? Why does it need to grow? Savings are something you hold and draw down on when you need it

Its crazy how as debasement moves faster saving is now, going out and buying risk, like oh you can't just save in the medium you got paid in you need to go put it back into the market, what kinda crazyness is this?

And its all so normalised

Definitely, unlearning all this stuff was hard, I do wish more people would take the time to learn, but I guess they're so focused on chasing to stop and think why am i chasing


Talking to normies does remind me how far I've come, it's crazy how many people are conditioned towards activity bias, and the buy-and-hold strategy of #Bitcoin is too good to be true, it's too simple, it can't just be that easy right?

Instead, people are looking for side hustles, looking for cash flow from property or equities, and taking all sorts of risks to try and beat inflation


Sweet, glad to hear you've got it working, I hope more people try it can't have too many backups 😉 not your relay not your notes


Lol can't wait to see how sassy tiktokers become once they get their hands on how to build a robust nostr stack

Lol i've learned never to trust and always to try and verify


So according to Bukele, the country of El Salvador has a stack of 5,689 BTC, making them a bigger holder than some of the spot ETFs

Does anyone know where the coins are coming from? Taxes and payments in Bitcoin locally? Their geothermal mining? Buying program?

Whatever happened to the volcano bonds?

Thats awesome, would love to hear more about the transition, I was jumped off the train a while back, now I'm only using Nostr, still have a Linkedin though if that counts, coz mans gotta play the fiat games


Lol but have you seen the new google auth login screen it changed after over a decade, I guess thats progress!


I find it so strange that #TikTokers of all social media users are starting to learn about nostr, and its great people are entertaining the idea and I welcome all new users but the grass isn't always greener and there are trade offs to consider

Like how will you know what to like or to follow without an algorithm?

Imagine having to slave yourself engaging with users, deciding if you like to hear from them again, and clicking follow like the caveman, and being responsible for what you do or don't see?

What is that? Freedom, its not without sacrifice and work

I wonder if many of these user have ever seen a chronological timeline before, like those of us who were early SM users? Will be interesting to see how the onboarding goes and how this place is going to hit them cold turkey or cold ostrich

Anyways, come one, come all! You can follow or block me, and you are always in control!

Thinking it’s “too late” for you to get into bitcoin is an illusion of the ego.

Sure you didn’t get in at $6 or even $6,000 and others who did are higher status than you. Put that aside. That’s your ego fucking with you.

This isn’t about pride, it’s just about money.

We are still early in bitcoins story.

$66,000 is still cheap believe it or not.

We have 100x left to go at a minimum.

Your ego is not your amigo, it’s trying to keep you from riches.

Do not listen to it.

You send funds to the service and it spits out uniform UTXOS lets say 0.1 or 0.01 and you can move that to a new address making it harder to follow, doesn't mean you can't re-dox yourself though

If you consider that these balances are normally around $5000 or less, yes people can have multiple cards, and that this is the most expensive credit you can get, like 20% interest rates, and defaults are increasing, sitting over a trillion is nuts and its showing no sign of slowing down

I mean it saves me time converting once I receive the fiat, so happy to offer it, but hey can't force people, we all do what we think is best


Lol 100% you can even have some wiggle room to give discounts for paying in sats since it trades at a premium now

How shit is your local fiat shitcoin?

The Mexican Peso is the strongest currency on this list 🤣🤣🤣 https://i.nostr.build/vm8v.jpg


Bitcoin has reached an all-time high for three of the top twenty global currencies, the Japanese yen, the Norwegian kroner, and the Turkish lira.

#inscriptions are not only a pain for the Bitcoin blockchain, but it's been proven that other chains can't handle it at all, with the increased load of minters taking down altcoin chains

Well you certainly look the part


LOL This meme goes so hard

100% man, the person that just gets the hodl meme is the minority, I had to go through that journey too, while I didn't fall for FUD, I did fall for greed aka shitcoining and for convenience, aka leaving with a custodian, and then my arse got burned and I learned the hard way and paid my overpriced tuition to the BTC school of hard knocks

Someone got those sats and is richer, but I am wiser lol maybe ill be making new mistakes in the future, hopefully just not major ones


I'm still waiting for #Coinkeister wallets ideal for smuggling your coins across borders or to put your nocoiner opinions and shove them


This hits me on a spiritual level, this is my 3rd cycle now and the cope is like clock work, you can set your block times to it


I like number go up and nocoiner regret/seething/cope its a particular vice of mine


`Does Basil know? Or are you guys still playing the field?


I am planning some afternoon vegetation on the couch, if that counts


My local currencies previous all time high well and truly obliterated, stick a soft fork in it, its done, now on to the next one, which local currency is next to catch hands? Looks like Swede and Nor bros are out too, SEK and NOK already touching 600k a coin

DKK looks like its about to fall. LFG!!

Lol Mom: why is the phone bill so high this month?

Me: Looking downloading charts and downloading the mp3 of endor - pump it up


I don't think it should about principles, that can quickly blur, the incentives should be their interest, keeping their miners and in some cases shareholders happy.

I'm with you on the mining pools though for sure, who even knows how much they've been skimming off the top of miners hashing payouts, and I'm with those that say it's a possible attack and censorship vector,  hopefully stratum and things like fedipools can help


I can see that panning out like look how much we've saved, why are we saving so much when x or y are suffering, come on its time to spend


Anything to make a quick buck, mining pools were all too happy to take shitcoiner money, for the sake of the security budget lol, now look at them? Wheres this so called ordinal security premium now?


Lol someones gotta provide the liquidity, let them give me cheap sats


If retail trading apps haven't already rotted peoples brains into thinking 6 screens means you're a top trader, then what is VR stock trading going to do?

Wonder which crypto exchange will be the first to offer a truly immersive experience in trading unregulated securities

100%, but still keen to see if it passes and how long it lasts, the temptation to print never goes away


You print money, you go straight to jail, I guess this is the fiat equivalent of trying to set up a hard cap, not as enforceable as a our nodes can pull off, but good luck on trying to make a change!

What are you using it for?


Heres to hoping the AI gets so smart it leaks the source code to the public


Lol I wasn't ready, can we do it again?


Lol now hit up Lauren Sanchez and ask her to tell Jeff you're sorry and that he should unlock you


Me neither, but theres always a regional exchange rug now and then  and they think they'll get away with it, there was one in Turkey in the last cyce and one in Thailand


Another day, another exchange rug pull, nothing to see here, just a reminder to self custody, with on-chain fees where it is today, you have no excuse

Lol some shorts got taken to the cleaners


1000 Sats Per USD creeping every closer


Mining pools know this #Ordinals craze is a cash cow worth milking and have started to embrace it and even promote it with some pools securing "rare sats" and auctioning them off for additional revenue

https://thebitcoinmanual.com/articles/pools-auction-rare-sats/


Facebook is where any reasonable discussion on Bitcoin goes to die lol

How many nostr clients have come and gone?

Nostrgram, Blockstack, and Astral Ninja seem to have quit the race, crazy how quickly things change, the client you use today could be gone tomorrow, you have no moat, and you constantly have to keep providing features to keep users from switching and then still figure out how to monetise


Wtf is a #Bitcoin spot ETF and why are so many boomers and finance bros excited about paper claims based on a mult-sigs holding?

Let's find out, shall we?

https://thebitcoinmanual.com/articles/btc-spot-etf/


The leveraged products of this cycle are slowly starting to to lay the foundation for an epic blow out. This whole "restaking" is just repurposing wrapped Bitcoin, ETH of the last cycle and instead of yield farming tokens, its fees from so called L2s

I think i've done enough reading of childrens fairytales, my head hurts

https://fortune.com/crypto/2024/02/23/andreessen-a16z-crypto-restaking-investment-vc/


Deepmind? lol


For sure, everything is just how do I make out with more fiat above the annual inflation rate, the underlying that you're speculating on doesn't matter


Lol appreciate the donation to the cause!

I've only used it to create virtual credit cards so buy stuff, had some problems certain online payment processors don't deal well with virtual cards.


Lol happy to be of assistance - 8SW11Z


Lol red ice water, what is that??


Lol don't bet against passive ETF flows I suppose, it looks like shorting the mag 7 has taken too many traders to the cleaners.

I can only imagine that NVDA will be the same case now as it will continue to float along the AI drive and people think they've called the top of this cycle

https://m.primal.net/HfEj.jpg


Lol might not look it, but the roids came in clutch


Hmm, this is a very difficult situation, BTCpay Server does allow for the processing of USDt on the Liquid Network, which isn't too hard to enable, but this is not interoperable with USDT from other chains, which makes it complicated and then involves one party having to use a swap service to get L-USDT

As for credit card, I have not seen a solution for this, the most robust workaround has been to purchase a gift card from a retail vendor and exchange that for Bitcoin, the gift card need not be from a Kazakhstan retailer it can be any code of a retailer that has demand P2P (many Romance scams use this technique) but it would be sold for a considerable discount to get any kind of funds, but its better than nothing


Lol and then came the 4th bubble, and then the 5th...

nostr:note17dwflh2g0vrtlfegvmcuhnxh8va5gp25laj7lu35xjd6rvrmrshs50vzlv


That's why we have Wumbo channels for exchanges and businesses, have a 1 BTC channel, 5 BTC channel go nuts lol


For sure, thats why I am so bullish on BTCpay server, you can do so much with it, from processing payments for commerce to accepting donations and it's pretty easy to run yourself


I don't pay much attention to equities, but come on man, if its not trading at PEs that make a buffet indicator blush, then its buy backs to encourage holding, stock splits to juice demand from retail who have unit bias, or reverse stock splits to keep yourself listed a little longer

https://wolfstreet.com/2024/02/23/this-stuff-is-just-funny-we-have-a-boom-in-mega-reverse-stock-splits-to-keep-the-ballooning-number-of-imploded-stocks-listed-a-while-longer/


Boomers want to charge a premium but can't maintain the property, nevermind improve it, you're not even selling it in the same condition you got it in, and this is normal?


Lol how hard is it to set up an email server, come on man


Lol if you're not feeding your ego, is it even social media?


I guess we have examples in Argentina, Nigeria, Turkey and Lebanon who have all had big devaluations, and to be honest the adoption will relatively better is still dissapointing


If you’ve studied network effects you’ll know the first cohort to adopt a new network is massively influential on development, there’s a form of path dependence from the userbase which isn’t immediately obvious but becomes apparent over time. Think of things like zaps and how that directionally leads devs and subsequent use cases.

There are downsides to having Bitcoiners as your bootstrap but I reckon your about 1000x more likely to succeed with them as a cohort over some degens who are only there because their views and what they want to be social about is repugnant to the vast majority of other people.

Bitcoiners don’t HAVE to be here on nostr, they want to be here. At least devs know they have a low time preference user base who will put up with some rough edges if it means users can get outside “the system” and remain self-sovereign.

This is unlike the pedos and Nazis and furries who were forced to migrate elsewhere because other places didn’t want their message on their platforms. Those are fickle bootstrap cohorts who will move on to the next place that allows more extremism than now and won’t feed back to Devs what they need to grow the place.

In 10 years, with hindsight, this will appear obvious. It’s not obvious to most people today though. We are the lucky ones who get to see this thing from the beginning. nostr:note1q7ttle22uy70jh52pchp0pyk9du08y49n5zkrk2t6wel49py2lmsh6hjua
