Why won’t miners support a fork that increases the total supply of bitcoin to maintain block subsidies? I feel like its because it hurts the main value proposition of the thing they are mining, but is there anything else that might dissuade miners from a move
like this in the future?


"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.... I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
- Thomas Jefferson

Exactly, the whole underlying policy is a mess. I was just making the point that its going to hurt some of the very goals our government claims they are championing. But you won’t see the anger about this, because its still too abstract for any average person to know that they will never own anything.


I completely agree, my general problem with the entire thing is really that the US has hinged its entire middle class’ life quality on the dream of owning a home. And its quickly fading for literally anyone outside the top 15%.


Note, I left asian and pacific islander out because thats pretty on par with US racial demographics


Rare politically charged post Rudy Nutstink.
Where is race rage on the demographics of home buyers in 2023? The singular US policy to help middle class families save is investing in a home. Everything else is fairly out of reach and risky. And they have made that savings vehicle so unaffordable they are effectively cutting people who are black and hispanic out of this one hope of storing value. The wealth disparity among races will not shrink, and will in fact grow because of this. And the government will not shoulder the blame for this horrendous policy when all is said and done.

nostr:npub160t5zfxalddaccdc7xx30sentwa5lrr3rq4rtm38x99ynf8t0vwsvzyjc9 you have been pretty interested in the stuff lately, right?


I recently decided the same, the primal app made a biiiig difference in my user experience


Reposted from Xitter:

Bear markets are for building, bull markets are for... beta testing?

I've been working on an automated multisig key agent I'm calling Sigbash (website: https://sigbash.com - use code BETATEST if you want to help kick the tires on it).

Sigbash implements browser-side xpub blinding, which is a fancy way of saying that, from the time a user is issued a key, right up until the key agent is asked to sign a transaction, the key agent *doesn't actually know anything about the key it issued*

This means that if the signing server is ever compromised or a bad actor somehow gets a hold of the seed phrase, they won't be able to discover anything about what it protects (!)

Quick 🧵 below:

Techie mumbo jumbo: when a user requests an xpub, Sigbash sends one to the client browser, and then on the client the WebCrypto API is used to choose a random derivation path to generate a new child xpub. A SHA256 hash of this xpub is sent to the Sigbash server; the hash is the only information the server has about the key until a request is made to sign a PSBT.

When it's time to sign, the user submits the PSBT along with their xpub; the signing server takes the SHA256 hash of the submitted xpub and check whether there's a record of it, and if so returns a signed PSBT.

Instead of having a human in the loop to confirm a signing request, a user can instead attach signing conditions to a key when it's issued- e.g. "sign transactions  submitted with this key immediately", or "only sign after a certain date", or "only after a certain block height"

 along with

"sign only if this Bitcoin address has a balance greater or less than a certain number of satoshis"

or

"sign only if the global network hashrate is greater or less than a certain number of Terahash",

or

"sign only if the BTC/USD exchange rate is above or below a certain number"

I've tried to square the circle of making this as private as a multisig key agent can be while still being supported by as much of today's wallet software as possible - there are no trackers on the site, no accounts to set up or email addresses that can be harvested, no credit cards to bill (thanks @BtcpayServer !), and it's available over Tor to avoid leaking your IP address.

There's absolutely more that can be done here with e.g. Taproot key paths, Musig2, hopefully even OP_CHECKSIGFROMSTACK one day - but for now I wanted to focus on the existing wallet ecosystem ("meet your users where they are" and all that)

Instead of implementing some sort of slashing mechanism or fidelity bonds to ensure the signer doesn't go rogue, Sigbash makes use of what Mircea Popescu would have called a 'GPG contract' (https://nakamotoinstitute.org/mempool/gpg-contracts) - every xpub purchased comes with a PGP signed receipt that includes the hash, the signing conditions and an OpenTimestamp file attesting to when it was created. If the signer either fails to sign when it should (or signs when it shouldn't), users can post the receipt and effectively burn the key agent's reputation.

If you want to give it a try:

a) check the FAQ at https://sigbash.com and in particular the compatibility chart - not all wallets support non-standard derivation paths! and

 b) use the checkout code BETATEST to get a free xpub to play with - which I plan on disabling when the in a few weeks when the halving comes, just as a heads up ;)

Thanks to everyone who helped to test this over the past few months, I couldn't have done it without you. A very special thanks to @Rob1Ham  and @SahilCO for their early feedback and uncovering the nastiest of bugs, and @mflaxman for coming up with the idea for blinded xpubs back in 2020 (https://github.com/mflaxman/blind-xpub)

Back to your regularly scheduled shitposting ASAP, I promise :)

Ah typo, do *not* put your hope and trust in anything but Christ


Reminder that bitcoin is quite the creation, but do you not put your hope and trust in anything but your Creator. Christ is risen, he has conquered death.

”For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.“

Thats a great story and I think individual stories are not without their own merit. But I am talking about the large majority of the next generation. And my claim isn’t even that their test scores are lower, or their behaviors are erratic and unacceptable (which they are). They lack basic intuition on almost anything. They have all had their dopamine receptors fried by age 4 and can’t muster any level of interest in understanding something that isn’t immediately apparent to them. We have overwhelmed our children with path of least resistance and now they don’t know anything outside of that.
Good parenting at home has been the only thing that is saving children from this really doomish future. But it’s surprisingly a lot smaller of a cohort than you would think.
These are definitely judgements, but its what I have been able to gather watching my wife teach in the public school system these last few years. Covid lockdowns did a number on our society.


I’m not too sure about this. The kids growing up today don’t know shit about anything. Like at all.

I think with most nascent technology, the user experience lacks and can be quite rough around the edges. The nostr network is very young but onto something good. Clients like the primal app have bridged major gaps in the experience and so its just going to take great engineers to build a better experience.
For tiktok, a client that resembles that same style of scrollable video feed would be a great start to make the newcomers stick, and I would bet someone is already hitting the ground running on that.
But really for users of the network, its just going to take a lot willpower until those upgrades come. Its a very grassroots movement and if you are lucky enough to hang with it through that time, you will see something really amazing grow. Just gonna take time!


Not buying that the tiktokers are here and are just loving it way way more than tiktok. Lets not be naive.
Happy if we get even 10% of newcomers from anywhere to stick on the first try.


Tell me, was it an old start9 embassy?


I can actually keep the current rss feed sources. I think I might just use espn’s api for score updates, starting rosters, league standings update, etc.


And I hear ya, but its free sports data so long as its not abused and I think that isa benefit for the good folks of nostr


Okay no one told me espn’s api for literally everything is 100% free why tf am I using fox sports rss feeds


Okay I fork relay implementation and damus app this weekend. We’ll see if it works.


a given of course 🤝


Is there a telegram or something where I can ask other nostr devs things? I think I am onto a really good idea


This all works well for the content consumer, but create a discovery problem for the content creators. For folks looking for reach, they have to pick the best pay walled relay. And thats not great for decentralization.
Other thoughts would be to integrate some sort of follow + connect to private relay.
For instance if I were some big shot like Lyn Alden. I would run my own relay to own my own data. Then I would connect to popular client relays for discoverability, buy my posts would only go to my private relay. And when you follow me, you get an automatic connection my relay. Maybe a one time zap to do it to prevent spam connections.


Or maybe scratch the whole zaps go to them. I just offer the fact the content is worth something. Or that they can build their own. Maybe a paid relay should be offering the people something more. Create a competition. Relays may actually need to broker deals with content creators. Bring some capitalism to nostr.


Some possible solutions to this:
A whitelist deal? Reach out to a popular paid relay (cough cough 🍷) and ask them for free lifetime connection if the lightning address for zaps goes to their wallet. Now they can make these content bots a part of the suite of content you get when you connect?
But this creates centralization… oi


On one hand, this adds costs to spam bots thus limiting their reach and probably how things should be.
On another hand, my little bot friends that bring me content, will be just that. Only for me, bc it otherwise will cost me $10 per bot per year to get them on a paid relay. I know its not much, but its not a cost I am willing to volunteer just to unlock the value for everyone else.


I had read that a paid relay gets content more engagement and reach and I don’t fully understand why. But nostr:npub180cvv07tjdrrgpa0j7j7tmnyl2yr6yr7l8j4s3evf6u64th6gkwsyjh6w6's experiment obviously displays thats difference.
I am torn how I feel about it.


Its true, I realized when sports news aren’t getting spoon fed to you by an algorithm, you gotta learn how to write an RSS sports news bot that posts this stuff for you.
So I made nostr:npub1nh59wmp7smcrjdr76qm78zay9pyg2mgmhp5dzfu3e74yd683gydsf8sfnn nostr:npub1qcachdzx0du4ugxljmsm378a9qsj6ejkctj9edlwlakyfhhptqxsprxvnv and nostr:npub1ntppt27k5hy42mq6kh5gstl5e5a7exaunjpplnjawgr8dcuahzts8le0px. It was a good way to spend downtime on a weekend 👍

hello ser 👋


They judge this with a metric called tps (transactions per second) and its very flawed. But that being said, on the base layer XRP has orders of magnitude more capacity like 7 tps vs 3000 tps.
Lightning can theoretically handle millions per second, though this is limited in a way by the base layer entry.
Lastly, other chains beat out bitcoin on base layer speed because bitcoin doesn’t compromise decentralization for performance enhancements which cryptos like XRP have done unashamedly.


I think I fixed it, I was tinkering with the lightning url recently. Thanks for the heads up!

I saw a post tn that really does have me thinking. “Be the change you want to see in the world”
bitcoiners are good at this generally, but there is still a good number of prominent bitcoiners latched to the reach they get on twitter. Lot’s of arguments to be made, but this move to decentralized social media is incredibly important for the future of freedom of speech. We should urge these bitcoiners to move exclusively to nostr (or at least make a tool that lets them post to both).


I totally agree with this. We have some very prominent bitcoiners that tried nostr and have since gone back to their old ways (I did this too though I am a pleb), but we should urge them to force this move like nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx and nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc did.
This is proof of work, lets make this future happen.

Does anyone run an American sports relay? I loved twitter for keeping up with NFL, NBA, MLB, and college sports news.


Any client can be banned. For instance I am writing this note from the primal app. But there are dozens of other clients like Damus, Nostur, Snort, and more all plugged into the nostr network. And that network can’t be banned because all of these notes are being relayed by nodes (servers) being run by individuals like myself. Think of it like a giant game of whack-a-mole for try and ban it.

You also trust your hardware device’s secure element. And you trust its generating a seed phrase with *actual* randomness. And you also trust someone else’s node. And you also trust your not being MITM attacked on a deposit.
And this may not all apply to you and we are all learning. But believe it or not, there’s a lot of trust still existing in the hold your own keys camp.
Coinbase Custody offers a really secure institutional product, but yeah these funds should absolutely be looking at where there are still gaps in that security and how they can improve. Solely holding their own keys would scare the absolute shit out of me though.


Coinbase custody is a lot more secure of a solution than you think.


Noobs: we want to learn more about how Bitcoin LN works
Podcasters: hold my beer, here's how it works

“E Pluribus Unum” is a phrase I don’t often enough reflect on. Its  important to remember where we began, what the vision for this great country was, and to love your fellow American.
It was in these rooms where our first congress would meet. The house downstairs, and the senate upstairs. In the middle of the room, 13 interlocked rings with the seal of each state in the middle. These men knew how hard it was going to be to build a nation from all of these states. But they made it their mission. We should remember that out of many, we are one.

I do love coldcards, but seed signer way lower barrier of entry. Fully open sourced code, accessible hardware components to build it yourself, has QR support, its stateless so it doesn’t store the seed, and its a lot cheaper than coldcard and Q by a factor of 3-4x.
Both masters of their craft, seedsigner just has impressed me a bit more with their operation.


Gonna post a weekly reminder that seed signer is the best hardware device out there.
Here is the first one:

It was a hell of a ride. Looks like the retirement date has been set regardless of my desires.

Thank you for wearing your cowboys hat in this pic

There are way too many of you out there selling bitcoin products and only accepting fiat. Pretty unacceptable ground to stand on imo.


We’re so back


I have no idea what this mfer just said. He caught a case of the bidens


Its with great regret that I announce my body threw on its first layer of perma-fat. The workouts aren’t taking, not sure what the next move will be.

Oof Frankford and Girard. Stay safe out there ser 🫡


No lies detected


Sick puppies out there


I told a family member of mine when we broke $66,000 in 2021 that he should’ve bought. Bitcoin subsequently spent the next 1.5 years crashing, and I ate constant shit of “you should have sold at the top” from the same family member. I learned a lesson here in staying humble, but you know whats better than selling the top? Absolute conviction in your nuts and ruthless endeavor of understanding bitcoin. And buying sats with every single last dollar you have the whole fucking way down, and all the way back up. New ATH.

I have a turd green fleece lined sweatsuit that I wear around my house and its only a matter of time before I take to the town in this ensemble. The haters are furious.


Does firewall hardware replace a router? Or does it sit between your devices and the router?


High signal at the bitcoin jawn tonight as always. Thanks nostr:npub1rmyzjpvhq2sfmp65hgl4l057jnctjcawu9qah3uyz45x9cjkrgws008vtd for throwing it together.


Lady nutstink just downloaded nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg.  The nostroduction is coming tomorrow. We are onboarding the homemaker wives and moms to freedom technology and I’d like to see instagrave try to stop us.


Remember that year where every girl was doing the “When I’m gone” cup song from pitch perfect? Glad we all got past that as a society.


The vibes between these two tables are *very* different. The circular one says “gather round for coffee, pasta dinner, or a board game” and the rectangular table says “shut tf up, set the table, this is where dinner is had”
You already know which one I am loading up in the new house

They’re great!


Janelle, I am counting on you to work on popularizing some hashtags like #homemaker and #mom! Been trying to convince my wife to come over to nostr from instagrave but I don’t think there is content she loves over here yet!


I have deep appreciation for everything in my life on days like today.

Imo there aren’t many gold bugs. If you store your wealth in gold, thats a personal decision but it doesn’t shift you so ideologically you are willing to being annoying af about it. The ideological gold bugs are mostly the rent seekers who are brokers and dealers. Making money on gold in both directions.


You: The central bank stepped in to bail out the banks during the GFC.
Me (an intellectual): The CIA hired DJ Earworm to drop the hottest shit ever to bring our country back together, he did all the legwork. United States of Pop we need you again.

Pitch Perfect still got it. Its corny but its damn good.


Something not being talked about enough is how brutal it is out there for shitcoiners rn. Seeing the pet rock old tech coin do numbers and they are waking up depressed everyday wondering “wEn aLT SeaSon??🧐”


NOSTR ONLY 🫡

Can you believe there are companies that are worth more than all of the silver in the world or entire countries values?
Pondering over some coffee how regarded that is.

I need someone to start selling hardware for bitcoin asap. I have a million homelab projects I want to do and literally none of them are getting approval from the wife unless one of you mfers starts taking my sats for it.


and yeah I got the order of those numbers right, it was on the way down bc it was nuts on the table moment for rudy


“You’re still down overall”
Bold of you to assume I wasn’t buying $30-17K like a fucking madman


bull market is here boys, soak it in


I can’t fully wrap my head around what the value prop of  an ecash system is and how it has advantages over normal lightning. I understand increased privacy, and the plug and play feel of loading in nostr contacts is slick on enuts, but it feels like normal lightning has the ability to achieve much of the same.


Are there any websites that sell hardware for bitcoin? Looking to get a raspberry pi zero and want to pay with lightning


I’m rudy nutstink, I am QA Engineer in the bitcoin space. I found both bitcoin and Jesus around the same time of my life and each have had major impacts on every aspect of my life. I believe in proof-of-work in everything I do, and never take anything for granted. My most recent rabbit hole has been homelabbing and home networking exploration. Hoping to round out my technical skills to become a better engineer and team member to the company I am with.
Just bought a home and so the next project is self hosted home defense system 😎


Okay I am backing trying this out bc Primal is actually smooth af.
I feel like I am still gonna hit my previous snags of nostr still not giving me same general news that I get from X. Any recommended follows that keep me in the loop on the world?


The address you have set up for your tips is now linked to a little lightning bolt on your posts, if I press it, it opens an invoice on my ln wallet and I can tip you some sats on a post


good morning, stay humble and stack sats 🤙

nostrpleb is a brilliant idea. thank you.


I just spent $50 and $47 of it was on bitcoin. 👍


among all the debate over the nuances of different open source licenses and fiatjaf went with a simple two words: “Public domain.”


good morning, stay humble and stack sats


oh hell yeah, I am getting my daily cup on damus now too
