Minnaar #02460
30″ x 22″ watercolor
Available at StevenMinnaar.com

The Art of Joy, Abundance, and Good Fortune

My art is mostly whimsical, sometimes serious, and, quite often, just odd.

Pegged to the price of gold and secured with a digital Token of Authenticity, I like to think of Minnaars as a fun alternative to gold because they cannot be counterfeited and they cover more wall space.

Take a look around and maybe you will find something that inspires you or makes you smile.

Hidden Treasure

In the spirit of abundance, each Minnaar comes with clues to a hidden treasure.

View The Collection

You can view my art by category using the drop-down menu below or click here to view the full catalogue in chronological order.

category. Available Minnaars are tagged with the “available” tag.

Once you have selected your desired Minnaar(s), visit the Purchase page to checkout.

Authenticity

Each Minnaar comes with a Token of Authenticity.

Tradability

You can trade your Minnaar for any other Minnaar that I have available now or in the future (with the exception of Fractional Minnaars which can be traded at it’s fractional values).

I have also created a collector’s forum at MinnaarExchange.com where you can buy and sell privately-owned Minnaars. After joining the forum, you will automatically receive notifications when the next privately-owned Minnaar comes on the market.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The World’s Most Expensive Artwork: A Masterpiece by Steven Minnaar Made from 100 Crayons

[Southern California, September 15, 2023] — In an unprecedented artistic endeavor, renowned artist Steven Minnaar has crafted the world’s most expensive artwork, a breathtaking crayon sculpture composed of 100 crayons. This awe-inspiring creation is currently undergoing a groundbreaking process of fractionalization, transforming it into an astonishing 80,000,000 microscopic pieces, set to be gradually released to the public at a maximum rate of 100 pieces per day.

The magnitude of this endeavor becomes evident when one realizes that it will take a minimum of 2,191 years to fully fractionalize and release this extraordinary masterpiece into circulation.

Pricing at an exclusive $10 per fraction, today marks a historic milestone as the first fractional sale takes place, propelling the total estimated value to an astounding $800,000,000. This achievement shatters the previously held record set by Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic “Salvator Mundi,” which fetched $450.3 million at a Christie’s auction in 2017.

Each meticulously crafted fraction will be presented on a laminated card, accompanied by an exclusive Token of Authenticity, ensuring the integrity and provenance of this unparalleled masterpiece.

Orders for these extraordinary fractions will be processed in the order they are received. You can secure your place in line by placing your order now, ensuring your stake in history.

I'm never going to take a "recovered alien body" photo seriously if it looks humanoid. We flatter ourselves thinking they'd look like us. You want my attention, you need to show me a cuttlefish adapted for space. It better not be cute, either. It needs that "long-distance trucker estranged from his family" energy. I need to feel so sorry looking at that poor bastard that I get jet lag by proxy.

The average beard is composed of 120,000 follicles, so if you pull out / lose 100 hairs per day then (assuming a random distribution) your average beard hair age will reach equilibrium at 3.29 years.

These are the weird math problems I find myself doing late at night.


I've had this conspiracy for awhile: the reality tv show of national politics is partly designed to distract from local politics, where we DO have power but we don't use it, because we're taught to conceptualize politics as national.


There is no bigger intellectual time suck than national politics. The amount of time that is wasted discussing politicians, elections and policy is mind boggling.

It's a never ending cycle that takes people away from productive endeavors.

I came to this realization last night in the middle of a dinner. We wasted 20 minutes of our precious time speculating about the presidential election when we could have been talking about things that will actually make a difference.

Bitcoin companies will generally want to sacrifice security for superficial, short-term adoption. They're businesses, after all and more customers is how they make money.

Users, on the other hand, will want security for their coins and will care much more deeply about true long-term adoption.

This continues to be a tension that won't be resolved anytime soon.


#bitcoin is king but everyone should own a little gold. And if you own gold you might as well own some Minnaars 😎

A couple weeks ago the Relay for Reddit app I've used for many years stopped working because the developer added a dependency on Google Play services to force paid subscriptions. GrapheneOS doesn't play well with that.

So I begrudgingly switched to the Infinity app. Well, this week it appears they started blocking all known VPN and data center IP addresses.

I hate this recurring feeling as a Cypherpunk that the walls keep closing in.

-China uses yuan to settle LNG imports from the UAE, from the French supermajor Total.

-Saudi Arabia joins the Shanghai Cooperation Organization as a dialogue member.

-Saudi Aramco signs big refinery deals for construction in northern China.

It's been a pretty big few days for the anti-petrodollar crowd.

Security is always going to be inversely proportional to convenience. The need for security is proportional to social trust. In low stakes, high trust environments, low friction solutions will flourish. In high stakes, low trust environments, self-custody will be the default.

I say this all the time. But I think one of the problems is a lot of bitcoiners are in a low trust, high stakes mindset at all times, and believe everyone else should be to. This leads to a bit of confusion to how things are going to play out, in aggregate.


You gotta be kidding me


Onerous fees = nonstarter


To not have onerous fees, you do


If you aren't smart about it in Phoenix you pay a lot of fees, and imho it wasn't well explained in the onboarding process when I started using Phoenix recently. Also, you can't receive zaps to Phoenix or any of the others you listed.


Hearing your talk, I think we need to sort out "nostr support" and not have it all just fall on Nostrplebs.

The type of thing I have in mind is like this: we could call it Nostr Sherpas, and we would have a presence on Reddit, Twitter, Telegram and Nostr, as well as a wiki with an FAQ. Volunteer Sherpas could hang out in those spaces and help people.

I'm sure I'm not the only one with an idea like this. I'm willing to pitch in if this is already being built, and others willing to pitch in should connect with me. #[2] #[3]

'The Lightning Network' Does Not Exist
--------------------

- Many people refer to the aggregate of all lightning channels as 'The Lightning Network' but this is a false premise. There is no singular 'Lightning Network' but rather many payment channels between distinct peers, some connected with each other and some not.
- Lightning as an interoperable payment protocol between professional custodians seems to have found solid product market fit. Expect significant volume, adoption, and usage going forward.
- Lightning as a robust sovereign payment protocol has yet to be battle tested. Heavy reliance on Tor, which has had massive reliability issues, the friction of active liquidity management, and lack of strong privacy guarantees put it at risk.

One of my friend I recently helped bought some bitcoin told me that he has sold and will buy back at $16k https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_36bdcd387ab00cfc785753450b063e95cfbe855a12f913e369df48b9de8aa12b.jpeg

The Bitcoin mempool has been cleared. Ordinal fans in disbelief.

If you're new to Nostr, paid relays may seem a bit confusing. You just need to do a little bit of up front work.

You need a Bitcoin Lightning wallet. Lightning is a fast, cheap and scalable solution for Bitcoin that makes paying for goods and services extremely easy. Wallet of Satoshi is probably one of the easiest options available. You can also use others too, such as Alby, ZBD or Muun.

You can find a list of all known paid relays at https://relay.exchange. While this website lists plenty of relays and their fees, what it doesn't tell you is their popularity or location. You can ask your followers or the people that you're following which paid relays that they're using or you can view their profile (pending client support) and view the relays that they're using.

Once you know which relays that you're going to try out or use, you'll want to visit their website, pay the admission fee, and add their relay address to your profile. Be sure to enable both read and write capabilities and then save or post the changes. That's it.

These are the paid relays that I'm using and have been using over the past month.

on track for one of the largest hash rate increases of all time and bitcoin mempools have yet to clear…


Amethyst has this as well


I would lean AMD... But more importantly you gotta get on Linux bruh


Like this note if you think we can't ban inscriptions.

Insanely grateful for everyone building out the nostr ecosystem. This protocol will change the world for the better.


Branle client. Predecessor to astral.ninja


Here are some ideas:
-When it was first created, first relay, first post.
-When jb55 discovered it
-Maybe the citadel dispatch episode

I'm trying to remember if there was anything special that happened that got me to join in Jan 2021. I think most likely something happened that got my attention but I don't remember what it was.


Now Nostr feels like home


Welcome to nostr! Pardon our dust.


I agree, awesome design


Yes. On Astral it looks like one.


Bitcoin to you, good sir


General Motors to you
