All #nostr apps (including mine) should generate a key immediately and let the user use the app with ZERO login/signup splash screen. This is a unique advantage of nostr. We should leverage it.

We can introduce the user to the concept of identities. Retaining the "account" metaphor is detrimental and unappealing. It makes nostr seem like every other centralized platform. It's familiar, but it is wrong. We can do better!

Perhaps there's a balance somewhere, but this isn't the full solution. I'm sure we will find more creative ways to stuff more transactions in the same block space, and we're already creating better trust minimized models of ecash on top of Bitcoin. Block size should be a last resort.


I believe it and the pear runtime are both open source now. Jitsi is cool but requires a server. Keet is actually peer to peer.

₿itcoin is for anyone.


You're missing the point that block size is a linear solution that can't be the entire answer to the problem without heavy centralization risk. Even with ZKP roll ups that would allow a full node to synchronize in seconds, the heavier the chain, the more intensive the computation is for the proover(s).

That aside...
What's an 'acceptable rate' ?  Fees are a free market and block space is necessarily scarse.


This is already happening with all the development around the ecash / blinded federated mints. Still a trust trade off, but it's getting better, quickly.


A linear solution to a hyperbolic problem doesn't get you very far. Must be more clever.

Never regret showing kindness, even if it's misinterpreted or exploited. Every act of kindness sends ripples through the world, and life has a way of rewarding you for putting it out there.


After having a little money for a few years and dabbling in some of the finer things I can tell you that nothing beats an ordinary life.

- Getting a slice of pizza and seeing a movie with your wife.

- Hitting the bar and having drinks and conversation with your friends.

- Hanging out at the park throwing a frisbee around.

- Taking the kids for ice cream on a hot summer day.

- An economy plane ticket to go visit family or an old friend.

- A reliable car that takes you where you need to go.

- A great blanket to snuggle up in on a cold winter day.

If you have these things already, trust me… you are wealthier than you know.

Drinking $1,000 wine and eating caviar with famous people won’t make you any happier. In fact it may have the opposite effect.

As the bitcoin price rises you should definitely dabble in fancy shit if you feel compelled, but once you get a peak behind the curtain you’ll find out pretty quick it’s hollow and meaningless compared to the things that really matter.


You can. Or use a service like Voltage that does it for you.


I worked for the state once. I was in the Air Force.

In 2012, They took my appendix when they didn't need to.

In 2016, they vaccine injured me with a round of shots my doc recommended. I got a letter in the mail saying it was a bad batch, but it was completely safe and I should come get another round. Nah, doc.

 I got automimmune issues from that, and they worsened from the poisoned food. I left the military in 2017. The VA ignored me repeatedly because they don't believe in vaccine injuries.

I can't eat gluten, dairy, rice, or seed oils without heart palpitations and reactions that feel like im dying these days

Anyways, I began contracting for that same Air Force again in 2018. They tried to poke everyone again in 2020. I said no and I lost my job from saying no in December 2021. I haven't worked in 2.5 years.

This whole time I've been spending $900-1200 cuckbucks a month on meat and fruit alone to avoid inflammation and heal my body. All from my savings. I sold my house in late 2022 and my stack is down immensely in the last two years.

They poisoned me... They poisoned 19 out of 20 aisles of the grocery store for an autoimmune person like me. They poisoned my health. They've drained my wealth. They've taken my livelihood and my normalcy.

When I view the big picture, it all seems so deeply personal. They wanna ban and control meat consumption when it is my only food... They want to stop us from saving in Bitcoin when it has been my literal saving grace... They say they want to close the "escape hatches".

When I tell you that this is the hill I will die on, I fucking mean it. There is no choice for me anymore. I've crossed the Rubicon. I will live free or die.

Why nostr:
- You own your identity
- Your speech stands on its own
- You can run your own everything
- You own and control your social graph
- You are free to say and do anything, but you are not free from consequences (non-repudiation of cryptographic signatures)
- You can proof realness via proof-of-work, either directly or indirectly
- Proof-of-work is what allows you to successfully combat bots, spam, and trolls, as it brings real cost to destructive actions
- Ownership and realness allows you to build and curate webs of trust, which allows for canonicality without central authority

Freedom of speech is absolute and #Nostr is the digital embodiment of that principle


It's pie day!


Sometimes I fear that nostr is going to suffer death by a thousand cuts, self imposed, due to ...

- inconsistent data in relays
- improper handling of replaceable events
- ridiculously long lived caching that ignores replaceable events
- inefficient bandwidth utilization
- rush to partial implementations

We can fix this. But to do so requires staying focused on projects and features, vs abandoning them when they get 20-30% of the way there.

If someone could work on the following projects I'd appreciate it: Flockstr, NJump, Coracle.

One of the things I like about the Bitcoin and NOSTR developer community is, they aren't reinventing the wheel.

The thing that I remember about my days in Ethereum is that everything had to be a blockchain, or have a token/NFT/smart contract.

Whatever reinvention was being done it had to include those things.

Not here. You're just using what we have and building on top of it when needed.

What's the alternative?


To Bitcoiners responding to my opsec post with "If you're in public you must accept that someone will post pictures of you online without your consent".

No I don't have to accept that. Nobody has to. You don't have to either. If you post pictures of people without their consent, it doesn't matter if it's a public or a private event, or if it's legal in your jurisdiction or not. It all doesn't matter.

If you don't care about it, it simply means that you don't care about the privacy of others. It means you don't care about the other's right to decide whether Apple, Google, Meta, or X should be fed with their faces. It means that you're feeding surveillance systems with locations, biometric data, and the identities of Bitcoiners around you.

Nobody cares about what's legal. This is a moral question. A question of your own principles in a world of all-encompassing digital surveillance.

Reject surveillance, respect privacy, remember your cypherpunk manners.

Saylor Moon
-----------------

Is a speculative attack on USD coming soon? If it does, it's going to be a crazy sight to see. Every institution that can borrow will and essentially short the dollar by going long Bitcoin. The dollar will begin hyperinflating and there will be a lot of unhappy rent-seekers that will want some blood. It may in the end create calls for a CBDC to control the lending/printing of money, which is currently in the hands of too many banking institutions. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Let's start from the godfather of the speculative attack: Michael Saylor.

For those with assets, loans are really easy to get. In a fiat economy, loans have no opportunity cost so banking institutions are incentivized to lend as much money as possible to qualified borrowers. More loans, more interest payments, more profit. And the rich borrow. A lot. Loans are how Cantillionaires stay rich. They use the newly printed money to invest in all sorts of stuff and as long as their investment returns higher than the minuscule interest rate from the bank, they come out ahead, sometimes my many multiples.

Using these loans to buy Bitcoin is what we can call a speculative attack on the dollar. That's essentially what Michael Saylor has done with every kind of loan he could get. He's used unsecured loans, secured loans, and stock issuance, among other things, to acquire as much Bitcoin as possible. I'm sure he'd take out more loans if he could and I have no doubt in my mind he's looking into more ways to add more to the incredible Bitcoin position he has.

What's going to be even crazier is that he will soon be able to use the Bitcoin itself as collateral. Wall Street isn't that comfortable with this idea yet, but at some point, they're going to because there's too much free money in it for them. And then the real leverage games can begin. He's in deep profit on his Bitcoin position and as the price goes up, there will be more loans available. But at least at the moment, banks aren't loaning out with Bitcoin as collateral just yet.

As such, he has to wait for more stock issuances to buy more Bitcoin. With almost 1% of all BTC in his treasury, there's a lot of demand for his stock and with additional issuances, the market now knows he'll buy more BTC. As a result, he can keep issuing stock and buying Bitcoin this until he's saturated market demand. The result is that MicroStrategy right now trades like a 2x Long Bitcoin ETF.

But here's where it gets fun. What happens when there are more companies besides MicroStrategy that use this strategy? You really just need one more CEO with this level of conviction to take this strategy to the next level. The stock's returns have been so insanely high that some company will mimic it. Heck, even someone that doesn't have a company right now could, perhaps, buy up a small cap stock with some cash on its balance sheet, buy Bitcoin with it and then issue more shares to buy even more Bitcoin. It would be slower, of course, but there's no reason why it won't work. The key is a large cash position and a way to get lots of debt. This hypothetical alternative to MSTR would have to have some differentiation of course, and perhaps they'd use more or less leverage than MSTR.

For that matter, could we see a mining infrastructure company go in this direction? Keep lots of Bitcoin on the balance sheet and use USD loans to mine more. If the treasury is in BTC and the acquisition strategy is mining, then it could very well use its line of credit to become something like MSTR, only a bit more related to energy production.

How about one of these zombie companies? A visionary CEO could turn a zombie company into a living one by making it into a Bitcoin substitute. A company like IBM has lots of assets to get loans with. Use those assets to put Bitcoin on the treasury. It can quickly become another stock that's a store of value. Speaking of which, the reason MSTR is doing so well is because it's taking the store of value premium away from other stocks. Stocks have functioned as a de facto store of value for a long time, the premium is now leaking towards something that holds its value better.

The presence of Bitcoin on the balance sheet turns the store of value premium in these stocks into Bitcoin substitutes. And it really won't take many companies to do these things for the entire market to expand USD and complete the monetization of Bitcoin.

The trick is to be living so far in the future that people think you're living in the past.


All of these tools having people enter their private key will eventually end in disaster.

As you feel the importance of your fiat income drop, take a moment to notice the heaviness in your upper belly lifting.

That heaviness was the fear of losing your fiat income. As some of that fear dissolves, notice how much easier it is to express your most authentic self.

This is just a taste of what living without fear feels like.

The truth is that you never had anything to fear. That you could have felt this way a month ago.

Embrace living without fear & see how your external reality shifts. This is the gift that Bitcoin provides to us.

#weirdstr #growNostr


I came here for freedom money, not for financial gain. Over the past 12+ years I have watched Bitcoin 12000x vs USD, and it blows my mind every time this happens. Even after all these years. Maybe I still haven't accepting the reality of it all.

Many of us were told over and over that we were making a terrible decision, or that we were idiots for investing in "tulips." Ridiculed and laughed at constantly. Not just by strangers, but by family and friends.

They were wrong.

Not only did we make a good decision, we made one of the greatest decisions in recent history. We had the conviction, the nerve, and of course the autism, to do what we thought was right while everyone else doubted.

Many of us were freaks & weirdos for most of our lives. Let's be honest - most of us probably still are. But we're the weirdos with motherfucking conviction. We're the freaks willing to put it all on the line for a belief, because maybe there's still something worth hoping and fighting for in this clown world.

We were right.

You can stay humble while you stack sats tomorrow. Today you pat yourself on the back. You text your brother with an "I fucking told you so." You look at yourself in the mirror and smile at a motherfucking winner.

eCash is useful for many things. First of all, the token is the money. Which means you can send money offline, for example, just by sharing a string or QR code (or tapping phones via NFC / Bluetooth / whatever). FediMint has this feature, and it's very useful in certain situations. It's also very private.

You can also use eCash tokens as authentication strings, e.g. to retrieve data from an API or DVM. You can think of it as accessing something and instead of putting a regular password you put an eCash string into the "password" field, so you immediately and directly pay for the request. No account needed. #SovEng people are exploring this as we speak.

For about 20000 sats per year you can cover the cost of your own domain name and use free hosting providers like github to serve up the file for NIP05 using easy to follow guides.

NIP05 is not verification. Its a cross check from a nostr client to a website that presumably the referenced user controls. Unfortunately, most users do not self manage their own NIP05. Having someone else provide your NIP05 domain puts them in custodial control.

#asknostr Wood stoves

Hello friends! I’m looking for any insights about wood stoves that you might have. We’re looking for one for a small space, primarily for heat although 2 cooking burners on top would be great. I’ve put more about the building below. If you use a wood stove: any favorite (or not) brands? Anything you wish you had known or considered when you first bought yours?

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

^As of December. It's 16 x 24. Concrete pad, brick stem walls, above which we'll build a lumber frame which will be filled (about 9 inches deep) with straw and mud, so no thermal mass but excellent insulation. It's on a part of our land which now has electric access, but we'll be heating with wood and probably expanding our current solar set-up for most of our other energy needs. Eventually we’ll build a larger cob house (hopefully with a rocket mass heater!), but this shed will be multipurpose for the next few years. One large space, likely with a sleeping loft.

Wood that we burn: primarily ash, birch, poplar. We have lots of little black locusts that eventually we’ll use for firewood as well as a ton of pine, which I know isn't ideal but is sometimes in the burn pile.

#woodstove


No, I haven't actually used it at all yet. And based on health history, probably won't for a while, knock on wood.


It means you don't need to rely on goodwill or trust for bitcoin to produce a state that everyone can agree on and independently verify is accurate. It means self interested parties reinforce the network vs. rip it apart. It means because you don't need to trust your counterparty is giving you real money, or won't reverse the charge, you can extend ever so sightly more trust in the rest of the interaction.

This afternoon:
"Jeremy, why don't you give Ted a call and see if they need anything."

(Our county has been pretty much snowed in for the last week and we are getting down to -2F tonight. Ted and Helen are in their later 80's, they have a 1/4 mile unpaved driveway and heat their house with a woodstove. I'm sure there is some way we can help)

We immediately find out that they have run out of scratch for their chickens.

I send Jeremy over with 2 large Ziploc bags of scratch, a loaf of banana bread, and a jar of homemade tomato basil soup.

While visiting Jeremy gets the scratch out to the barn and feeds some to the chickens. He then helps Ted restock the firewood at the house. Ted had already fallen three times trying to move wood in a wheel barrow across the snow.

Jeremy returns home with a jar of Ted's honey and a bottle of wine.

This is community.

Take care of eachother.

Drop it in the pan, transfer the pan to the oven KEEP THE OVEN DOOR CRACKED to keep the heating element on.

Wait 4-5 min.

Wait 3-4 min

Remove pan from oven.

Remove steak from pan, wrap in tin foil.

Melt some butter in the pan that's now got a bit of juice on the bottom.

Add a dash of worcestershire.

Slice meat very thin against the grain.

Salt meat.

VPS hosting at lunanode should also come in under $15/month iirc, pretty sure they still have a one click deployment option too.

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.

⚡⚡⚡King of the zap #4⚡⚡⚡

I will give away this bi-fold wallet with integrated RFID shield (value 300k⚡) to the highest zapper at block 824 700 ~12h - read the rules carefully 👇

https://image.nostr.build/8cac267cc9bbdf46f27b7b3bbe1d3db9459d0ccd3fbb795763536ff9a6fbd601.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=1920x816&blurhash=ZHBM%5BPx%5DoIof_Noet6og%3FbWAozt7WBRPogfkRjRj.8t8WBRjRiayoff6V%40RjWBayayj%5BfRayj%5Bog&x=57a28f8395ba87f4e1bba6cc97473859a5b1e58f6cde6b22995a4c1959e97ea6

The rules are simple:

1) The highest zap on this note will win the prize free of any other charges

2) Getting out zapped means that you lose your ticket for victory *and* your zap.

3) To qualify his zap, the zapper must boost the note

4) winner will be declared when we reach the selected blockheight

This is a dangerous game but can be extremely rewarding. The first zapper could get an item for as few as 1 sats.

These were always eaten at a cutting board with our hands. When I was too small to reach she would set me on the counter.

I have heard two takes on ordinals on what we should do in the BTC community.

1 - Ignore them, censorship is anti bitcoin, it is a fad, they will go away in time, etc.

2 - Censor them, get rid of them free up block space for transactions are affordable again.

I want to propose a third option.  A middle ground.  Before I do so, I AM NOT SAYING WE SHOULD DO IT, just may be it should be part of this discussion.

Why not simply make it cost the ordinal shit NFT fuckers more to do it?  Why not in effect make it a subsidiary of every block to lower costs for intended use?

Think about it, what if instead of 3Xing the cost of transactions it cut them in half.  It would do a lot of good IF IT CAN BE DONE EFFECTIVELY and I don't claim to known it can.

But not only would it lower transaction costs it would help miners stay in the black if the tards doing it were willing to keep paying more for it.

FWIW I am not sure they would.  This all seems like an attack to me personally and even if not it is an attack vector for the fiat fiends.  Jamie Dimon's miscellaneous expense account for one year could shove ordinals into full  blocks for 50 years.

This is true for privacy, but I put these things in different categories right now. Keet is the best (as soon as the source is released) you're going to get for peer-to-peer video chat & the file sharing is great too, it just needs better UI/UX.

Sending a keet invite link over SimpleX (with a new keet room for each session) seems even better.


Canada forces companies to censor news unless it’s from pre-approved sources, apparently that includes entire countries.

This started happening when there was a surge of non-government funded media which was getting more attention and saying not so nice things about trudeau.

His ideas are so bad he has to give billions of printed and stolen dollars from the pre-approved CBC just so they can say how awesome he is. It’s literally their job to say nice things about him otherwise they would lose funding.

This country is a clown show.

Bitcoin and NOSTR are crucial.

In a world where tech giants align with government, seeking to suppress and seize our liberties, the money and communication tools must be free and censorship resistant.

Merry Christmas #nostr:

You allow me to test my beliefs and understanding of the world, amongst an open, respectful, and thoughtful community.

You enable me to connect with people who share similar values and goals for the future.

You have provided me with access to something bigger than myself, and in some way have allowed me to promote the ideals of this protocol.

You have given me a map to a place where authenticity is still valued.

You have given me space to laugh, to think, and to be.

It's very easy to underestimate just how much things can change in a short period of time.  Only a few years back many people were thinking bitcoin might just maybe reach an exchange rate of $10,000 within their lifetime....

The State is that entity which funds its operations through violence. It is the credible threat of violence for non-payment of taxes that imbues the State’s otherwise worthless currency with value.

Through its monopoly on violence, the State enforces its currency’s monetary policy by controlling (regulating) commercial, retail banks. Banks are chartered and subordinate to the Central Bank, which is an arm of the State enterprise.

Whether the bankers or the politicians are in charge at any moment is a technical detail subject to change. The problem is the violence monopoly, which historically precludes monetary competition.

#Bitcoin fixes this through unalterable monetary policy and unconfiscstability. In Bitcoin, ownership is knowledge. If you kill the gold bug you get their gold. You can still kill a Bitcoiner, but you can’t take their Bitcoin.

What I'm saying is mass adoption must be able to exist in a high fee environment. More tools are needed.


If we have the kind of adoption to where this would be a problem, the fees will be this high or higher anyway.


You're not going to stop them, you'll just make less money than someone who will include them... Like it or not this is what we've got and they will price themselves out of the use case or continue to pay for chain security.

If you're mostly just upset over high fees, I also have bad news for you...

The fiat food system is so captured that food companies are more concerned about appeasing the government instead of providing transparency to the consumer. There is a threshold ingredients that must be reached before you are required to list it. Anything below that threshold can be excluded from the list. A food product can have trans fat but still say no trans fat as long as it doesn't surpass the threshold that the government sets. How did people let things get this bad? #grownostr

Agreed, although in practice there's decent liquidity that doesn't require an official peg-out with liquid. Perhaps bitVM can give us a real trustees two way peg? Although it sounds over hyped as of now.

Maybe clarify your arguments a bit more before yelling into the wind. I'm not even sure you know what exactly you're actually mad at.  Iirc there's quite a long timeout before the emergency keys are useable.


It seems you don't have a good enough understanding of how money works today to have an informed conversation about how the future could look with a different monetary base.


Iirc liquid is open source, anyone could spin up a federation. Also fees are extremely low on liquid. I'd imagine blocksteeam and all their stakeholders benefit more from NGU than from use of liquid, even at a large scale.

Equal outcome is not (and should not be) the goal.

If the money works to store value, one is incentivized to hold it versus consuming or "hoarding" actual resources.

The 'problem' you're describing is only a problem when we have a broken money.


You're missing the point that with sound money they would have had to create value to get that money in the first place. Without artificially cheap debt value has to be created into the world to accrue money.


I got my BTC into cold storage today and I don’t have anyone to celebrate with, but I am proud!


Don't worry guys, he's here to fix it.


Thanks fren


This type of "asset hoarding" is a fiat easy money problem, where the money is no good to hold value over time, so scarse resources are monetized are held instead. With a money that actually worked to store value, hoarding MONEY means more real resources or value must have been produced into the world.

In an old forum post he said he wanted to make it 42 as a hitchhiker's guide reference but didn't think people would take it seriously so cut that in half.

Interestingly the numbers work out really nicely with 21 million where the amount of coins distributed each block is the same as the percentage of the total coins distributed in that epoch. That's to say when 50 coins per block were distributed, 50% of the total supply was distributed by the end of that epoch.


They're "healthier" but butter/tallow are still 3x lower omega6 than those. "You are what you eat" coming into play here. Takes a while to cycle out the bad fats that have been accumulated.


Yes, gets omega 6 down to ~5-10 % from like 10-20 in olive/avocado and 50-70% in seed oils. Ghee is just clarified butter and tallow is just rendered (usually beef) fat.

This just seems like the same kind of not quite accurate marketing as the people who used to say bitcoin had "cheap, anonymous transactions."

It all depends on your threat model I suppose, but unless you're taking extra steps to not dox your network connection and shield your use from your ISP, "anonymous" is a bit too strong of language for my taste.

Easy is kicking the can down the road.
Easy is short-term gain for long-term losses.

Easy is "This is too hard. This is not for me. Someone else should take care of it."
Easy is not educating yourself.

Yes.


The existence of #Nostr makes #Bitcoin stronger.

It’s important not to forget that one of the critical attack vectors against Bitcoin is controlling communication channels. The internet is an underlying layer to Bitcoin. Encrypted chat, decentralized/federated networks, P2P file transfer, P2P markets, IP address protection protocols - these things can be just as important as coinjoins, signature aggregation, stratum v2, lightning, etc.

All of these *compound* their benefits when used together among a group. #Nostr and #Holepunch are some of the most important things happening in bitcoin, imo. They are solving problems on layer 0.

- switch to Linux (KDE Plasma, Tuxedo OS) - no more fear
- install a node with Umbrel on Intel NUC - its running by itself ;)
- switch from Evernote to Obsidian - wow!
- play with the Jade wallet, Liquid and Lightning #Liquid
- moved to Nostr, actually late last year - twitter now is boring
- using keet.io for communication - p2p especially with China
- got a Pixel phone with Graphene OS - still experimenting
- orange pilling people in Madeira Island it's fun ...
- run Nostr Sync - what can I do withe the backup file?

Some people will play a game where others are obviously cheating, because they have found a comfortable, mental place for themselves as the victim.

It allows them the benefit of being self righteous about never winning. "It's not my fault, it's because my opponent cheats."

This can actually *stop* many from switching to a fair, honest game. Because if they did, they now have to live by their own merits, go through the painful process of learning, and they lose the comfort of always having someone else to blame.

I think this is a big part of why some fear #Bitcoin. Being cheated by fiat is easier and you can always say, "it's because politician X/corporation Y is evil that I don't succeed."

I don't say this to be derogatory either. It's just human nature. Sometimes we find comfort in certainty and stability, even if it's harming us.

Taking responsibility and embracing uncertainty is neither fun nor easy.

The sats you hold today are the result of what you’ve done in the past.

The sats you’ll hold tomorrow are the result of what you’re doing now.

Focus on your craft. #Bitcoin


Can’t believe I thought crypto and bitcoin was the same thing a month ago…


Interesting how the bottom row is all reptiles.

My favorite thing about nostr:npub10uthwp4ddc9w5adfuv69m8la4enkwma07fymuetmt93htcww6wgs55xdlq is how dumb Marty is and how well Matt handles it. 😂 No offense nostr:npub1guh5grefa7vkay4ps6udxg8lrqxg2kgr3qh9n4gduxut64nfxq0q9y6hjy 😂


This!


This was one of those moments, where technology works so magically, that I start screaming uncontrollably, and the people next to me ask if I'm alright.

It's not just that it works, but that you get a glimpse of what this technology might mean for humankind.

But then went and gave them all the very strong impression Bitcoin is just the same trusted setup as a bank. 🤦♂


Bitcoin. Everything else is stealing.


This is where "stay humble" comes into play 😂


Wow! For what?

Make sure you're watching the original and not the remake 😜


IMO cow makes more sense for the analogy vs elephants. 😂


I prefer cows, but rabbit can be a good sustainable food supply. Never eaten an elephant or horse...

No but I've read some chatter on nostr markets. Doesn't seem ready yet but I haven't tested anything.

Thank you for your unintended sacrifice. By sharing all this, it serves as a reminder to the community 1) We are firmly in the "they fight you" stage. 2) stay vigilant and 3) continue to practice good opsec.

By the time you get a raspi, power supply, case, external hdd, and sd card you're looking at over $200, at which point I'd say just get a refurbished Dell Optiplex.  They're much more reliable and higher performance than a Pi and if something breaks its modular and you can replace individual components, unlike a Pi.  The same Docker container for RasPi will run in Ubuntu on an Intel Dell Optiplex, too.


These bitcoin mining and security myth-dispelling children's books never took off when we originally posted them on Twitter. We think they’ll do better here since, even at its peak, Twitter never had Nostr’s fortitude and commitment to the cause. https://bitcoinmythology.org/


It's so annoying to want to play with Bitcoin but have nobody irl that's as into it as you are.


It may not feel like it some days, but we are winning 💪


Number go up.
