Run nodes.

Run relays.

Run mints.

Run meetups.

Run something.

Just don’t sit still.


speed is the most important feature.

being able to send a note/post via text, have it fully render, and instantly load when someone clicks on it, is one of the biggest things that will help build network effect.

communities, such as ditto, and giving people the option to make them private and encrypted, is a net new feature not found on any other platform that will draw people to the nostr social app protocol, and be the best onboarding and discovery tool out there. people care a lot more about privacy than censorship-resistance.

getting as much content and information on here, welcoming of the bots and agentic AI, will allow this protocol to be the only one that can definitively state: "see everything." especially since no individual/corporation/government can delete your content or account.

this is what i would prioritize. the past two years of nostr has been about exploring the breadth of the protocol. great! it's now time to go deep and focus on quality and differentiated experiences. not copies of copies.


Perfection.


People on Nostr know the difference.

I'm excited to announce the first release of NWS, a resilient connectivity solution that leverages NOSTR as a transport for TCP. NWS enables seamless communication between devices without public IP addresses. Below are the key features introduced in this release:

- **Exit Node Internet Relay:** Exit nodes can relay public internet traffic, allowing entry nodes to access the internet using the exit node's outgoing IP address.

- **.nostr Domain Support:** NWS now supports `.nostr` domains, which are valid RFC 1035 domains. This feature ensures compatibility with most existing clients.

- **Reverse TCP Connect Mode:** We've added a reverse TCP connect mode where the exit node initiates a TCP connection to the public entry node upon receiving a request. This mode utilizes NOSTR for service discovery while forwarding data packets through the reverse connection, enhancing connectivity and reducing load on public NOSTR relays.

This is just the beginning. With many more features and enhancements on our roadmap, we are excited about the future of NWS and its potential. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to develop NWS.

The tiny house custom RV is complete and earning revenue for the homestead!
https://i.nostr.build/eE9XKZkIe7Gm7yJE.jpg
https://i.nostr.build/PnFuJnEl7ISuutbR.jpg
After seven and a half years, I've finally completed and put the tiny house RV I've been building into operation at the homestead.
https://i.nostr.build/70KtdAGxQiIndLQ4.jpg
https://i.nostr.build/8Ww4T89YeHaY7i4M.jpg
I started building it in November 2016 thinking I could complete the project in a year but I fell victim to the common homesteading practice of building many systems at once. Since my time and energy was split between so many projects at once, the time I had for working on the tiny house was quickly narrowed down to a few months in the winter.
nostr:nevent1qqsyggx69p48va855yz8t9qvuj0f8nxas79qd4cwtk764ml6dv8f37qh44kgc
The days were short and the weather was challenging, plus I was learning many of the techniques from scratch, teaching myself as I went. This made for very slow progress.
https://i.nostr.build/qWuWT8Qfzgw434cV.jpg
However, there were some benefits of moving small and slow on the project. I was able to avoid making any critical/costly mistakes. I also had lots of time to souce cheap and unique reclaimed/recycled materials. Plus, I was able to totally customize and build each component to be unique, leading to it feeling like a work of art rather than a construction project.
https://i.nostr.build/Woqo2EzbGal2g4XH.jpg
https://i.nostr.build/cJ5oUlKgFH606i7o.jpg
For now, I don't think I'll be taking on another project of this scale again anytime soon. But in the end, I taught myself all the skills to build a house from framing and roofing to plumbing and electrical, on down to the finishing techniques for trim.
https://i.nostr.build/SRxY1eOrdNKksWRb.jpg
The intellectual and experiencial capital was definitely worth having so much financial capital tied up in the project for so long. Before I know it, I will have earned it all back anyway leaving me with much more capital than I started with. Low time preference paying off.

Aside from what Nostr has taught me about Bitcoin, I’m so fucking grateful to have been introduced to decentralized social media.

Prior to being on nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg , I didn’t really talk about the things I care about on the internet. It felt counterintuitive and dishonest to talk about health on centralized platforms that consciously make us sick.

I’m so thankful that Nostr has given me somewhere to start playing with my voice. It has given me hope and community.

I’m wholly convinced of its ability to create a free, autonomous, creative, and connected global community. A healthier society.

We just need to keep sparking our neighbors’ fires.


Nearly a decade and a half ago, in my early twenties, I was an administrator for a small/medium online forum. This was before social media was super popular.

At first I just posted on the forum, and then the admins asked me to be a mod. And then as some admins left, they asked me to be one of the admins. So I did.

I did this for like five years, for free. I was working full time, going to grad school part time, running a dividend blog part time, and yet for some reason was also volunteering a lot of time to help run this forum. Because I liked it. After years eventually I left, and someone else stepped in to take my place. All the admins were just volunteering.

Anyway, that’s who runs the relays. The psychopaths.

My wife's in the Online Fashion/Cosmetic business. She shared this with me recently:

Instagram is significantly less effective as it once was for smaller independent beauty brands with their engagement and ROI plummeting. The algorithm now only shares branded content with a tiny fraction of your follower base, resulting in significantly lower engagement levels, and it severely limits reach to potential new followers.

This has led to a notable decrease in ROI, and with the rising costs of content creation, it has become increasingly difficult to justify allocating resources to Instagram, which has essentially become just a lookbook.

Plenty of case studies in this article. Surely Nostr could offer more equitable Social Media relationships for smaller brands like these.

This year, I decided to give a more concise presentation, based on a lot of feedback and requests, on why Africa will continue to play a significant role in Bitcoin's overall development and future success.

Share this presentation with anyone curious about "what material benefits Bitcoin brings to humanity" or "what Africa's role is in the future of Bitcoin."

"Africa will not only continue to show what Bitcoin can do but, more importantly, it is going to show what we can do with Bitcoin" 🔥

If you have never made pull request to a free open-source project you should make that your weeks challenge. Even something simple, like fixing some spelling in a readme doc. Don't be scared. There's a bunch of technical ways to make a pr, but the easiest is to edit a doc directly in github, it will make the pr for you. Just register on github, go to the page you want to edit and click the edit button 👍.
Even if your pr is rejected, you made a pr, well done, you are a modern human again, welcome to the revolution 🤝.

Yup. Nostr's time is coming faster than we thought.


When asked what's the biggest mistake we make in life? The Buddha replied "The biggest mistake is you think you have time." Time might be free but it's priceless.


The arrest of Telegram founder, presumably for refusing to censor content, is the biggest signal that what we're doing here on #Nostr is so important to the future of humanity it's almost immeasurable. Let's keep up the good fight #Nostriches and not worry too much about MAUs, because where we're going, it's a fight for our freedom.


When platforms start to fall, protocols will remain. you can’t arrest email, http, or nostr.

X, telegram, rumble, *can’t* have free speech in a world where governments can compel to censor by threat of imprisonment.

The world may realize they need nostr sooner than they thought. https://image.nostr.build/1a5d6409a896956801ef8bee6720600b91bf92d7893b9ae844eb88e5d2c0f495.jpg


The globalists put on conferences that literally tell us what they have planned. That is what their 'agendas' are - for 2030 and 2050. People tend to call these conspiracies, even though you can watch their meetings and read all of their plans.

You know what is the last thing standing in their way of realising these agendas? Free speech. They want to 'vaccinate' us against speech, as the EU have said.

They need ultimate control over not only every platform that spreads their propaganda, but also our ability to discuss and voice opposition to these things. They will continue to arrest and slander anyone who stands in opposition. They will continue to enact "hate speech" laws and label voices of reason as extreme and far right.

Our right to expression is directly under attack because we are hampering their efforts when we laugh at the media, when we call climate change a scam, when we say vaccines are inherently unsafe, and when we say fiat is one of the greatest scams and systems of slavery ever devised.

They have no defense against the truth, so these bastards will use any tactic they can to ensure people are too terrified to voice an authentic opinion.


Simply Bitcoin was banned on YT today, I always knew the day would come and have been mentally preparing myself for years.

I can’t wait for the day that you can livestream to the masses via decentralized protocols rather than centralized platforms.

I’ve put in so many hours into not only making content but also making sure we follow the “community guidelines” on YouTube and we were still banned.

I’m bullish on the future of Nostr and I will continue to advocate for it until it reaches a critical mass where you don’t have to rely on centralized platforms in order to garner sufficient amount of views to run a media company.

Bitcoin or slavery.
Nostr or slavery.

Money is the base-layer technology that enables the proliferation of all other forms of technology. All humanity depends on it to flourish. It only makes sense to have an energy-based freedom money that requires proof-of-work and is neutral, borderless, permissionless, unconfiscatable, auditable, and finite. Any other form of money will only continue to incentivize wars, slavery, misery, and suffering.


I posted a bunch of evidence on Twitter for how 1) grocery stores have razor thin margins, 2) food producer margins are more average but haven't changed in two decades, 3) of course farmers aren't the ones getting rich so 4) no, the food companies are not gouging you on prices.

It's monetary inflation. Grocery stores and food producers are trying to keep up.

Most people agree due to the inherent audience selection, but the tweets kind of went viral and reached a broader political audience, so a bunch of people came in like, "How come they can put chips on sale for 50% sometimes!?!? Checkmate Alden." (it's because they don't understand fixed costs vs cost-of-goods sold) or "How do you know any of the filings are real? What if they're literally all just lying on their audited SEC filings?"

Post-truth, some of people are. The grasping for price controls is the short-time public and political instinct that ultimately makes things worse, every time.

The largest factor is a push to lower my app dependencies and move towards a protocol only communications standard.

I used Telegram for three real purposes. The first was to communicate with some family and friends. The second was to keep up with lots of Bitcoin groups including my Bitcoin meetup. The third was almost an extended clipboard when I needed to move information from my phone to my computer.

The first use case replacement will be a mixture of phone texting and nostr. Some of my contacts have already made the jump with me to using  nostr:npub1tm99pgz2lth724jeld6gzz6zv48zy6xp4n9xu5uqrwvx9km54qaqkkxn72 and for those that don't I can still reach all of them via phone especially now that RCS is becoming more prevalent for media messaging.

The groups is going to be the toughest because its so far outside my control. There's a lot of good information I'll find just lurking in various Bitcoin groups on Telegram. I'll miss this part but I think a lot of that info will make it's way to nostr as more and more people make this jump. I've already convinced a good group of my local Bitcoin meetup to using  nostr:npub1tm99pgz2lth724jeld6gzz6zv48zy6xp4n9xu5uqrwvx9km54qaqkkxn72 as our group source.

Finally the last one can be accomplished in so many better ways that I shouldn't be doing that in the first place. It's a bad habit to be in. This would be an excellent tool to build on nostr as well to sync your clipboard across multiple devices with replaceable events.

THE MONEY IS IN THE NOSTR!

👉 Create a new npub AND DOING NOTHING ELSE, no WoS, no nostr-wallet-connect pairing,... NOTHING

☑ receive zaps
☑ send zaps
☑ and most importantly ACCESS MY WALLET FROM ANY CLIENT ON ANY DEVICE

these zaps are verifiable, way faster -- they are immediate (since the sending of the ecash is the zap, instead of waiting for a LN node to, maybe, publish a zap receipt)

Just like our contact lists follows us around, just like our profile data and our shitposts pops up in any nostr application, now so does our sats.

the money is in the nostr!

1984 and Atlas Shrugged are the two books that most represent today's situation.

1984 represents very well the social manipulation through language and distortion of reality.

For example, mRNA gene treatments have been called vaccines. Wars are called liberation operations, plunder is called solidarity, invaders are called immigrants and so on and so forth.

The ministry of truth has also been created in many countries to combat "hoaxes", that is to say, to combat the truth.

On the other hand Atlas Shrugged captures very well the economic reality of western countries, subsidies are given to those who do not want to work discouraging work, private property is not protected, homeowners are forced to rent their properties and at the price the government says, thousands of stupid laws are passed that prevent trade and free market, and most importantly, a minority supports a majority.

Either we isolate ourselves from this crap and let them kill each other, or they will finish us off.

“Old George Orwell got it backward. Big Brother isn’t watching. He’s singing and dancing. He’s pulling rabbits out of a hat. Big Brother’s busy holding your attention every moment you’re awake. He’s making sure you’re always distracted. He’s making sure you’re fully absorbed. He’s making sure your imagination withers. Until it’s as useful as your appendix. He’s making sure your attention is always filled. And this being fed, it’s worse than being watched. With the world always filling you, no one has to worry about what’s in your mind. With everyone’s imagination atrophied, no one will ever be a threat to the world.”

As of this post it’ll cost you 5 bitcoin to buy an avg house in the UK.

if you’re not ok with losing half of your net worth over the span of a month are you even a bitcoiner 😆

back to eating noodles at home. I’ve lived through every bitcoin cycle of abundance and contraction. A natural ebb and flow I have become accustomed to.

It’s a continual reminder that there is no free ride in this world, that we must continue to build value in this space for everyone that comes after us.

The idea that it’s just pure speculation is ridiculous, there’s a reason every other shitcoin has come and gone but bitcoin has remained.

Bitcoin persists because it’s our best chance to save ourselves from the collapsing fiat system, and no short term price movement will change that.

Limiting free speech has one benefit: Once you start to demand borders you then need an authority to patrol them.

This moves the issue into the arena of subjectivity, which is a centralised powers dream bc THEY get to define what is and isn’t permissible.

https://onebig.life/powerlaw

I find bitcoin's adherence to the Power Law fascinating, and for me it has become my favoured price model. It is so beautifully simple, with only one input variable: time.

I built this Bitcoin Power Law web page because the other couple out there didn't allow me to do what I wanted:

- To choose a date (e.g. your retirement, or a major purchase goal), and to see where price might be. Not only the fair price, but perhaps more importantly, the floor price below which bitcoin should never go under again.

- To choose a price (e.g. $1m), and to see the probable date (when fair price reaches the price) and very high probable date (when bottom price reaches it).

- To remind me to stop making too emotionally fantastical price predictions whenever price takes off on one of its major spurts, or I read some ultra-bullish article.

And more importantly, just to be able to show the chart while talking to a noob, with price indisputably sloping from bottom left to top right. Message: it's not too high to buy ;)

Of course, models are not guarantees. They all have their flaws, and the obvious one in this case is the model does not take into account the 4 year halving cycle to refine its price predictions.

But I believe there is less likelihood of this stock-to-flow cycle repeating indefinitely (as the halving becomes a less and less significant part of the bitcoin stock), than of nature's Power Law continuing as we go through the global adoption curve.

Enjoy!

In my latest piece for Forbes Crypto, I highlight the whirlwind of events following the controversial finance bill, the protests and its success, the resilience of the youth and their view of Bitcoin's role in Kenya's future 🇰🇪 ❤

Noelyne Sumba, a stellar Kenyan Bitcoiner and Machakura team member, put it best, "Many young Kenyans see Bitcoin as a way to escape the restrictive monetary policies imposed by international financial institutions, which have contributed to the country's economic challenges. Integrating Bitcoin into the financial system could reduce reliance on foreign debt and offer a way out from oppressive government policies that hinder economic and individual growth."

Very proud of—and inspired by—the resilience shown by fellow Kenyan Bitcoiners and the youth on the ground in fighting against this bill and winning.

Here's to amplifying the voices of those we've lost over the last week and those who continue to fight 🕊

Strike is also my favorite way to buy bitcoin. I use the send "cash" feature. I send "cash" directly from my bank account into my Lightning wallet by sending to my Lightning address. It makes stacking sats incredibly easy. You can also setup DCA purchases if that's more your thing too.

I've been using Strike for years and highly recommend this app. Why? The UI is slick and simple.

Most Bitcoin exchange founders aren't going to do that. I love the work ethic.

I’m on a trip round Sicily and used nostr:npub1864jglrrhv6alguwql9pqtmd5296nww5dpcewapmmcazk8vq4mks0tt2tq to find the only bar in Syracusa that takes #Bitcoin. It’s run by nostr:npub1cqlc6lzlzkx4rhg5k8dne05wmzmldwf5ua73j9mg9484z7cnuhjq8atcz9 and her husband. After buying a beer, much excited chat  and trying to Orange pill two Danes in the queue, I decided I should make a video of me buying an arancino.

Every time you think that these huge centralized platforms have too much power, remember that almost none of them provie direct services anymore.
Facebook doesn't create its posts
Uber doesn't drive its customers around
Airbnb doesn't wash the linens in your rental
Youtube doesn't film their video library

All of these platforms only have the power of the content and engagement that WE give them. Without us, they are worthless.

Never forget that the simple act of leaving and taking our creations, media, engagement, and our value somewhere else, will turn them into nothing overnight.

This is why decentralization is the only path forward. There is no alternative.


Signed up for an account with Venice.ai Grateful to them for warning me the first password I tried signing up is pwned. The time has clearly come for Bitwarden and Yubikey.


Nice. We were around the Free Stage with the kids on the Saturday. The only dry day I think ;)


Yep. Got that too. If there is an escape hatch, it will be used.

Anyone else having difficulties with Telegram rn? Super slow app, thread, group loading etc. Getting unusable tbh.


Gentle reminder:
- Microsoft Windows is spyware
- Almost everything Microsoft touches turns to shit (& spyware)
- OpenAI ships spyware
- iOS & macOS are spyware
- Stock Android is spyware

What can you do about it?
- study Linux Distros
- study Graphene OS on Pixel phones
- host your own LLMs

anything else, #asknostr ?

#spystr #plebchain


If you do not want to spend on hardware to host your own LLM, there is unleashed.chat and venice.ai for you. Both use open-source models.

“Liquidity providers, atomic bridges, and ecash mints. A novel financial network all sharing the same settlement layer.

Nostr’s arrival provides the social abstraction that ties it all together.

By avoiding being prescriptive about the functions it enables, Nostr is unleashing a Cambrian explosion of open innovation.”

The thought had crossed my mind.


Finally, a niche.


The Web is taken.

They control your data: Servers can change anything you send at any time: E-mails, medical records, private family pictures, social media posts, orders etc. You won't even notice it. Not only they can change, but you can also create new content as if they were made by you. Your history is written by them.

Servers do too much: They convinced us we don't have enough processing power and moved all the logic from our applications into servers. Even though a phone has an equivalent processing power than a single server today, we believe we must use complicated server architectures to achieve anything in the web. Phones are the cloud.

Everything is a rental: You don't own your domain name. It's a rental. Your server is a rental. Your digital certificate is a rental. You don't own anything. Your digital identity is a rental.

Data Silos force you to stay: Moving is too hard. They profit on making things just difficult enough to keep your around. After all, it's just 9.99 a month.

Enter the Verifiable Web

Own your keys, own your content. No one can write for you. No one can change what you write.

Sign everything you send. Every little like, every little key press. If it wasn't signed, it didn't happen.

Verify everything you receive. Trust the signer, not the servers in between.

You decide how data gets to you and where it stays. Your digital history is assembled by you.

Self-custody is an important quality of Bitcoin as it enables individuals to have full control over their own funds, without relying on banks, financial institutions, or third parties. This aligns with Bitcoin’s foundational principle of decentralization and empowers users to manage their own wealth independently.

#Bitcoin is just weird enough to not be taken serious

Similar to how I've been treated my whole life


GM Nostr. 🌞

If you take the time to really think from first principles, you can only come to one conclusion.

All forms of government (and rule over others) are deeply and irreversibly flawed and the only rational thing to do is strive to minimize them as much as possible.


Need to pump those numbers pal.

We are going to win, and they know it.

Good morning.


Unpopular opinion, but here it goes: UX is the most important problem we need to solve for Bitcoin Privacy.

We can hate on KYC exchanges all we want, but they've got UX nailed down. We cannot expect privacy to become the norm when I have to take an hour out of my day to make a P2P trade.

Now that CASPs will start delisting privacy assets like Monero and blocking coinjoined btc with the EU's new AMLR, we're being stripped of using regulated exchanges even semi-privately. This makes P2P exchanges like BISQ Network even more important, but its of no use to regular users when you need an introductory course in computer science before understanding what's going on in the app.

Privacy will only become the norm when we make it usable for everybody. **If you're a UX designer, copywriter, or in any other way have expertise in UX design, please consider contributing BISQ:** https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq

ℹ If you're not a developer, contributing to GitHub projects can be scary. It really doesn't have to be. I can't tell my asshole from a python script either, and if I can do it, you can too.

Here's how to get started:

If you find a UX issue in the BISQ app that could be improved, start by opening an issue in the BISQ github repository. Give it a clear title describing the problem you want to solve.

Add screenshots or videos to your issue showing what the problem is. If you can, add a proposal for a potential solution. Bonus points if you can add wireframes, layouts or clickdummy documentation. For reference, see npub1zqsu3ys4fragn2a5e3lgv69r4rwwhts2fserll402uzr3qeddxfsffcqrs 's work on eNuts: https://github.com/cashubtc/eNuts/issues/341 (I don't know how to tag people here but you get the idea).

In open source projects, questions are your friends. I've spent countless hours asking every dev i know absolutely insufferable questions, and I still dont know how the fuck to get out of VIM. Everybody starts somewhere, and most people are happy to help.

If you already know how to use git or github and can code a little, ask where you could find the corresponding code for your problem in your issue and offer to do a PR. If you can't, ask what assets would be needed to implement your proposal. Remember that people are nice and generally happy about new contributors, even if you're a beginner.

If you have any questions on contributing to open source projects as a non-coder, feel free to reach out anytime. My DMs are open (I think).

Damn right. Generations are truly fucked on the current system.


If the “smart” money is so fucking smart, how come it go here after us?


If the creator of a software is arrested because its product is used by someone for privacy purposes that are considered illegal,
then also weapon manufacturers should be arrested because their product is used by someone to kill other people.
And car manufacturers because everyone with a car can easily run over pedestrians.
And chemists because they create chemicals that can kill a lot of people.
And cutlery manufacturers because knives are used all the time in domestic aggressions.
And so on.

A tiny detail: privacy should not be illegal, unlike violence and murder.


Interesting perspective. Maybe I'm just paranoid.

This tyrannical level of KYC/AML is causing more market demand for privacy.

Demand is the mother of all inventions.

 If you haven't had the time to read John Perkins' book, Confessions of an Economic Hitman, then make time to listen to his podcast with  nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z on how third world countries are knowingly walked into the Debt Trap! This is the post colonialism playbook - as they say there's more than one way to skin a cat... 😟

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0tvK8smhrc

Along these lines, I remember seeing a video back in 2021 from the Worldbank granting huge loans so that the the third world could be vaccinated and get boosters every 6 months (loans paid on directly to vaccine manufacturers). They didn't need the vaccines as they already had Ivermectin and Artemisia as effective treatments for anybody highly vulnerable.

I so hope these countries see the light one day and use the Worldbank charter loophole to repay them and get their own back.  nostr:npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a 🙏

These countries can custody the BTC themselves at repay the Worldbank using BTC IOUs (which the Worldbank can't spend) As bitcoin goes up in value the Worldbank then has to refund the overpayment in USD and the countries can then use to buy further BTC. It's such an easy perpetual speculative attack!

(IMF & Worldbank loans to third world countries ARE eurodollars, which will end in a puff of smoke!🙏 The Eurodollar market is such a BIG BIG rabbit hole, which I haven't got to the end of yet, but I suspect it was the culprit for the 15th Aug 1971 speculative attack on gold backed USD!!!)

Parallel realities are so odd. As a Bitcoiner I’m shown so much great stuff on Nostr, as a dad I see life evolve, I’m in Scotland now working with an artist who has built his whole career around his choices, life is full of great experiences and opportunities. Yet we cannot get away from this minority of vile greed and desperate control from the useless counterfeit class. Jeff Booth sums it up well by saying don’t give them the time to validate their emptiness. The endless war cycle is so vile and evil that the fiat dystopia must fail, peace and prosperity is our human base level we strive for. I will never capitulate, it is too important. Onwards to a beautiful World, we’ll get there because just here alone so many of you are really clever, kind souls and are building the tools for peace . Thank you 🤙🔥

Keep us posted.


Our world is chaotic
but life found its way
by channelling energy to bring order to chaos

It is in our nature to seek signals amongst noise
because it is through communication and exchange
that we evolve beyond the darkness of chaos
into the dawn of civilization

Our evolution thrives on exchange
of all the info we try to convey
They flow through to the marketplace
and form the signals to regulate
how we coordinate
where things need to be
Price speaks so we learn to compete
This drives us to efficiently
shape the world with our voice
Now let the market speak

And so we build we sow we trade we grow to meet our wants and needs
We specialise to drive from the mind our creations into reality
We made progress in our process to get more for less
advancing society
We brought forth dawn
of the age of technology
that harnessed our energy
to reach prosperity

Our money embodies the power to reap what we sow
So the market becomes a channel for our collective energy to flow
When value is traded for value we are aligned and so we evolve
This is how amidst uncertainty, life continues to grow

But the dawn of tech gave rise to lightspeed information exchange
So to transact fast we further abstract money from energy constraints
And became more reliant on a few large entities to coordinate trade
Concentrating the power, resources and authority to create
more and more of our money
distorting its signals
eroding its worth
and throwing us back into the darkness of chaos

When we destroy the mechanisms of money
we destroy our ability to navigate through uncertainty

And when we can't trade value freely and directly
we must trust the few to govern the many

What happens when all our means centre around an authority?
Complexity builds now coordination relies on conformity
Observe our thoughts to censor dissent and coerce our actions
Can there be true innovation when there's no freedom of expression?

What happens to our voice, the ones that shape social discourse?
Now whose ideas get created and which problems get solved?
If our progress depends on hearing many sides to resolve
then why would we suppress the voice that shapes how humanity evolves?

When we cut off the perspectives that make up society
we lose sight of the truth that forms our entire reality
Each person's contribution builds up our resiliency
Did we forget these differences are what strengthens humanity?

When communication breaks our words turn to silence
Our acts become violent and the world is divided
Amongst darkness, truth is twisted by our pain and our bias
Eroding the common ground, making us more and more fragile

To navigate uncertainty we must solve for robustness
So everything gets tried and tested by various efforts
Until we discover the system that best coordinates us
mirrors life's process of channelling energy to create signal from chaos

In the era of technology, we transform energy into computational power
to process the noise of free markets into structured order
And just by looking at numbers we can derive
how much power is required
to reduce chaos and inscribe
our flow of value for all to verify
that our transactions happened in line with shared rules
We don't need to seek trust when we can see proof

It is real-time consensus that aligns us to evolve
This is how amidst uncertainty, our lives continue to grow
When we uphold our own rules we preserve our own worth
and defend our own voice which lets the true market emerge

The strength of the design lies in each of our participation
Since we are the nodes that channel our energy end-to-end
As we claim responsibility to uphold our own rights
we radiate the power that brings our truth into light

And when the dawn of light touches all parts of the globe
and it ripples throughout society and returns us the hope
that becomes the power that sparks humanity to thrive
that same power that fuels the creation of the mind

And when our mind and our money are truly set free
and they transcend the limits of past boundaries
Now knowing becomes owning and ideas become wealth
What happens now we can all push to expand the edges of our existence?

It is through evolution when things are the hardest
As we head for the light we have to push through the darkness
It is in these moments we do what we do best
We take the chaos and the darkness and use our power to create
It is in these moments when we're all in alignment
And our freedom of difference ascends us to our highest
Amidst the depth of it all know that hope is not gone
It is always darkest before dawn


The bullish case for Noderunners

Now that privacy is on the verge of being outlawed is the best time there has ever been to set up and run your own Bitcoin node.

This is probably going to sound like a sales pitch because it's coming from me, but that's really not the intention of this post.

It doesn't matter which node implementation you choose, just choose the one you want or whatever is the most convenient for you to get started. Run Core, run Knots, run Start9, run BTCpayServer, Parmanoodle, Citadel, my god, even Umbrel if you must.

The important thing is that it's YOUR node.
Think about it. We have ~18000 Bitcoin nodes online which is a laughable number when you compare it to the number of people on Nostr, Bitcoin talk and Twitter. At least three of those 18k are mine, and I suspect more people run multiple nodes, so the actual number of noderunning individuals is probably another magnitude smaller.

These Noderunners are serving the network, but much more importantly, they can verify that they get real Bitcoin when receiving UTXOs. And they can do so independently, over Tor, which means that, to this day, no one can stop them from doing so. With privacy services shutting down and wallet apps disappearing from appstores in certain jurisdictions, having your own money transmitter might not only come in handy, it could be the only way to transact if you have to.

No one knows what's going to happen next, but don't make the mistake to think the EU won't follow suit. Be prepared for the when your favorite wallet shuts down. Practice recovery with Sparrow or a similar wallet which allows you to connect to a node which is behind Tor. Preferably your own, but Uncle Jim Nodes work too. Ask your friends if you can't run your own.

At this point in time, individual Noderunners have not been targeted, because it's hard and the effort mostly outweighs the benefits for the gubberment, so far... And with every node coming online, it gets harder to take Bitcoin down. Which in return strengthens each and every one of us. A critical mass of NodeRunners is an unstoppable force, I don't claim to know when that critical mass is reached, but I am fucking sure it's not 18000.

So, what to do now? Bust out your Raspberry Pis, RockPros, old Laptops, iMacs, PCs. whatever you have and get to work. Build a node, run it and learn to connect to it. Do it before you need it. There's no need for a clearnet connection if you're not selling stuff or are otherwise uncomfortable with linking your public IP. Running it behind Tor is absolutely fine. No need for lightning either (but it's fun if you want to).

Too dystopian for you? GFY and take a look around. It's going to get worse before it can get better.


This clip from Jared Bernstein, Chair of the council of economic advisors, may help alleviate a fear to those who believe “those in power” are smarter than you.

https://youtu.be/RRJ7NUWYyEM?feature=shared

Economics is simple….1) prices fall to the marginal cost of production in a free market and 2) We trade with each other (all over the world) to gain more value.

It just looks hard through a system trying to deceive you to retain its power over you.

Amethyst with a Nostr.wine relay feels snappy like Primal. I tried it without briefly as my relay subscription expired - it felt very laggy. Resubscribed again to a noticeable return of responsiveness. I guess this is the way.


This is so retarded it's not even funny.

1. DIDs go nowhere, ever. Sorry but I've done them for over 5 years.
2. It's an INEFFICIENT ripoff of ion
3. Saylor is using bitcoin as his own personal and corporate data store
4. He actively participates in the defunding of developers in order to keep the chain as something that only he can afford to use.

But back to point 1, don't worry, it'll go nowhere.

Great to see innovation in this space.


Rollover PayPal.


Soon going to launch the first multi-currency Cashu ecash wallet as a progressive web app. So stoked about this, here is an exclusive preview for you Nostr!

stop integrating with the legacy system. waste of time. build the future.


London innit blood?


Study Bitcoin. Use Bitcoin. That is all.


No matter what USD price, Bitcoin still has the same utility: send, receive, hold, permissionless, trustless, censorship resistant, no intermediary needed. As Natalie Smolenski says “you and I, peer-to-peer”

tick-tock next block

Damn, that is INSANE 🔥


Vibes.


Perfection.


To compensate for the intense amount of shit going on right now, I'm just gonna Coinjoin the fuck out of my UTXOs on Jam. https://image.nostr.build/ed45a7bba7cf41dcb996c49adaba97f1d1cef29cc644b23ff9fecbc389049b9d.jpg


So much to worry about.


The fact that taxation is theft has not yet entered the Overton window.


In the context of a Cloward-Piven Hybrid War, previously confusing & apparently disconnected geopolitical, climate, social & migration developments begin to make more sense.


I'm quite bullish on Bitcoin scaling tech and privacy tech.

Fee spikes are incentives to build more scaling solutions and to use the ones that have been built. Without fee spikes or the mindfulness that fee spikes can materialize at any time, there is no significant demand to build them or use them.

It's painful when it happens but it's necessary to grow. And stress tests help ensure that you are building the tech correctly rather than relying on shortcuts that only work temporarily.

Same thing for privacy solutions. Privacy tech has to be like a hydra; if one head gets cut off then it grows more. Privacy solutions behind every blade of grass.


Time to pack it up folks. It's been a good run. Fun whilst it lasted. https://image.nostr.build/61622a64e47ec1c23ac5670ed980d0868877783342e97c98ff8b2a60733ab609.jpg


I bought a coffee at a wagon today and asked “Can I pay with my Bitcoin?”.
She explained it would be too complicated for her -  then proceeded to enter the items into an iPad, added up the prices, enter the amount into a card machine and negotiate the card transaction.
Bitcoin is not hard. Educating people is.


Chemtrails: the Evil Masterplan by James Delingpole

Here’s what They are going to do next. Suddenly ‘new research’ will appear apparently revealing that the contrails of commercial aircraft have a MUCH bigger influence on ‘climate’ and weather than was previously understood. This new ‘evidence’ will then be used as an excuse for a moratorium on air travel, possibly as early as this summer.

I don’t often make predictions but this one makes sense. It would explain, for example, while they have been chemtrailing the fuck out of us for the last few months. It’s classic problem reaction solution. Even Normies are waking up to the idea that the recent cloud/rain has been so anomilously dreadful and persistent as to raise doubts about whether it can really be natural. Simultaneously, those same Normies - some of them, enough of them - have had their attention drawn on Twitter and elsewhere to the existence of all these ‘contrails’ in the skies which then seem to form clouds. Once it hits home how bad this year’s harvest is going to be - again a story being gradually broken in Normieworld in the newspapers etc - the public will be ready to be told that they can no longer fly abroad for 'environmental safety' concerns.


So it took Coinbase a mere 6 years to come around and signal support for the LN and then they use a 3rd party? 🤣 Make #DeleteCoinbase great again

I have no idea what Stratum V2 is and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

Sound familiar? 😄 That was me not that long ago. But now it's not me and it doesn't have to be you because I made this pocket guide about Stratum V2!

It's a short 8 page zine that you can print at home and share with your friends. Just print the double sided PDF, cut, and fold!

It's perfect for anyone that wants a quick overview of the project, including a brief history and timeline.

You can find this and more of my zines at: https://satsie.dev/zines

The unknown future rolls toward us. I face it for the first time with a sense of hope. #Bitcoin https://image.nostr.build/806cd28978776b1253f596c0cecf5dc7f03ce69885badf98e35452639f40b92d.jpg


#Bitcoin would never stop. It would never leave him. It would always be there. This thing, this machine was the only one that measured up.

In an insane world, it was the sanest choice. https://image.nostr.build/4c8bc2125046e6a6f2d14f29306a7986c8368ea881299cde3f8d2eae48119d11.jpg


It’s hard to believe that the vast majority of people have no idea how fast and how hard nostr will change the world

This must be the feeling 2010-bitcoiners must have felt
